Can I use MOCs I posted for BoBS?

[Lord Valgor]

Hope this is the right place to ask, but basically I have a few MOCs I'm looking to post, but I'm also considering joining BoBS and would like to know if I can double dip? Especially since I might have already created something which my BoBS character cannot currently afford to own, but later down the line I'd like for them to have the option. So would it be possible for me to post MOCs in the MOC section, and later use them for my BoBS character too?

 

Thanks!

This is out of my jurisdiction, but I have seen this done before by few of our prolific members, and nobody forced them to walk the plank or gave them any hard time about it, so... give it a go, especially if nobody from the Senior management objects to it here in the next couple of days.

It's better to have double-posts then no-posts at all.

Hi! Usually double posting is not encouraged, unless some changes are made (for instance the same tavern in a medieval or pirate setting), but it is not forbidden (only building contests require previously unpublished builds).

In BoBS, however, you can post whatever you want even if you can’t own it yet. I suggest you to post your builds in the forum (and get the 10 doubloon bonus) and “license” them only in a second time: we often do that, especially in the first periods, as the yield of properties doesn’t immediately cover the cost of new licenses.

To add to this, I personally am a big fan of "crossposting with a story". For example in the normal Pirates forum you would just post the build as-is. Simple overview pictures and description etc. 
But in the BOBS forum you could add a story to it, minifigure placement, details specific to your BOBS story and sigfig etc etc! And then just put a link in the other topic to the other one so people can click both from the other! ^^

I can speak for BoBS: you can double dip. The only requirement in BoBS is that the MOC be posted in the BoBS forum if it is to be used in game play. It doesn't matter to BoBS if it was posted somewhere else first.

Awesome! This is what I was planning on doing :)

Sweet, thanks!
