October 15, 200816 yr Ha, I love the idea of enslaving Hinckley at the end and having him rebuild everything. Also, the idea of having a dock is great. It would be awesome to put in a dock at one of the 3 side towers on my design (7, 15, or 23). Then, of course we would need to have a tavern near by... It's a great idea to have teams. If we have teams then the only thing we would really need to do is have a standard for the color and design at the top of the wall (i.e. 2x1 bricks every 2 studs) so that it doesn't look TOO random. ~Thrash
October 15, 200816 yr That sounds like a very good plan to me. It will be nice and organized to have teams set up that way. And I love the idea of locking Hinckley up for a month to build it!
October 15, 200816 yr Mustafa Dragonator, your idea sounds great. Perhaps we should all vote to see who wants to do what. And what's where. I've got around 6000 bricks, but build in lots of themes besides castle. Also who would be on who's team. And who's actually going to build things on that big list in the first post? PS: I Scream Clone, I am allowed to build in this right? You never actually gave me permission. Begs!
October 15, 200816 yr Well I think I know what Hinckley is gonna say to you guys nominating him to rebuild it....... And I'm in either way, one person or if we do this by committees. I'm curious as to how the teams are gonna be broken up.
October 15, 200816 yr The only worry that I have about doing it in teams is that one team might have one element that's really great while the rest of their creations fall flat, while another group might have an overall good build, but nothing as cool as the one element from the other group. If we have the competing group format, the really great element from the first group would be left out. I posted this in the other thread, but figured I should put it here too... The only addition is the dock on the left side. Also, here's a little list I came up with with everything I could possibly think of that would go in a castle or medieval town: Traditional Main Gatehouse Secondary Gatehouse Stables Armory Barracks Dungeon Kitchen Blacksmith King's Room Guest Room Servant's Quarters Grand Hall In the Courtyard Gardens Statues Gallows Stocks Well Market place (kind of like 10193) Other Ideas Torture Chamber Wizard's Astronomy Tower Chapel Monastery Adventurers Guild Bank Tavern Thieves Guild Apothecary Mad Scientist Lab Library Fletcher Carpenter Mason’s Guild Tanner Pole turner Oil smelter Jester’s Quarters (in honor of the new Jester Lego made) Fighting Arena Dock/Wharf Mystery Play (thanks to pickerel) Circus (thanks to pickerel) Tournament (thanks to pickerel) ~Thrash Edited October 16, 200816 yr by Thrash

Clearly all the cool people go on one team, and you get the rest, like me It will be just like school all over again Thrash said: The only worry that I have about doing it in teams is that one team might have one element that's really great while the rest of their creations fall flat, while another group might have an overall good build, but nothing as cool as the one element from the other group.

Working in your group will allow you to help out your teammates if they are struggling on details. Everyone is a winner here Thrash, the prize is community involvement on a project that will look great at the end. Edited October 15, 200816 yr by I Scream Clone
October 15, 200816 yr Thrash said: Mysterious Circus (thanks to pickerel)~Thrash Actually, my post was meant to be a Mystery Play or a circus. Sorry, should have explained better.

Ah, very true. Ha, Pickerel, when I read it I thought "Oh cool, a mysterious circus. That's a really interesting idea!" I fixed it though so that circus and mystery play are two seperate ideas... ~Thrash

October 16, 200816 yr I really like the idea of adding a library/archive.... also im interested in joining the build
October 17, 200816 yr The castle design poll seems to have slowed down a lot. Should we plan to use Thrash's design? Or give it one more day or so?

October 17, 200816 yr Dear all, excellent! We have a floor plan. Sorry for the late reply... My computer died on me again... But I've managed to kick start an older one. Kind regards, Teddy
October 17, 200816 yr Author Ok tentative time! How many builds do we want, 2 or 3 groups? I'm happy to lead one group , Dragonator has expressed interest in leading another. KimT are you keen to lead a group? Probably about 5-6 people for each group sounds good. Whoever wants to incorporate the stable should expect to work with Stash2sixx. I would like to build a Wizards tower personally Lets open the next can of worms EB
October 17, 200816 yr I Scream Clone said: Lets open the next can of worms EB It's squirm time! I'm very excited for this. It seems more official now that we sort of have a basic layout.
October 17, 200816 yr Well...I want to volunteer for the kitchen! If you don't have problems with it I'm starting as soon as I'm done with my secret Army project!
October 17, 200816 yr Thanks for choosing my layout! Before we get started building (especially if we want to do it in groups), we should probably decide roughly what each number on the layout will correspond to. Since it was my crazy idea to have 35 slots for buildings, I felt like I should come up with a list of how to fill each spot. For reference, here is the layout: 1. Main Gatehouse 2. Oil Smelter 3. WILD CARD 4. Jester’s Joke Shop 5. Wizard Tower 6. Thieves Guild 7. Tavern 8. Apothecary 9. Adventures Guild 10. Bank 11. Dungeon 12. Torture Chamber 13. Mad Scientist Lab 14. Library 15. Back Gatehouse 16. Fighting Arena 17. Fletcher 18. Poleturner 19. Barracks 20. Armory 21. Blacksmith 22. Tanner 23. Stables 24. Carpenter 25. Mason’s Guild 26. Monastery 27. Church 28. Mystery Play 29. Secondary Gatehouse 30. Servants Quarters 31. Kitchen 32. Grand Hall 33. King/Queens Room 34. Guest Room 35. Dock In the Courtyard/Other Ideas Gardens Statues Gallows Stocks Well Market place (kind of like 10193) Circus Tournament Garderobe (medieval toilet) For the WILD CARD at spot #3, I figured that someone might have a good idea for a building I was missing or we could just fill it with the best looking runner-up. If we can all agree on a list of what corresponds to what, it will make the building go much smoother since each group will know exactly what to incorporate. Let me know what you guys think! ~Thrash Edited October 17, 200816 yr by Thrash
October 17, 200816 yr Hmmm... tough choice! I want to build things in the courtyard, but also in the castle and some of the other random things. Here is the (tentative) list of things that I'm interested in (I'll be happy if I do two ). ~Apothecary ~Circus ~Library ~Statues, Wells Pigeons and Stuff in Courtyard ~Torture Chamber ~Dock/Wharf ~Wizard's Astronomy Tower ~A Gate Too many choices... Pickerel EDIT: Thrash your plan looks great! Is there going to be any grass/water outside of the walls. Also would like to add the possibility of a garderobe (a medieval toilet) for some humor! Edited October 17, 200816 yr by Pickerel
October 17, 200816 yr Great plan Thrash! I would certainly like to try these things for starters, but I'm willing to do whatever you need me to. Blacksmith Some things in the Courtyard I just had one question. On the sides of each smaller module such as the blacksmith, are we supposed to add walls on 3 sides, or just the outer one? I think we should make an example module to show the specifics of the catwalk, height and the like.
October 17, 200816 yr The setup looks great guys! So we're gonna bring all modules to the event and put 'm together? I'd like to participate in 1 part, so let me know what you need build
October 17, 200816 yr Author Ok people, time to put your name in the hat. I will randomly draw interested builders out to assign to the groups once the leaders have confirmed. So far we have ISC Dragonator Captain Green Hair Erdbeereis1 Pickerel Thrash wouwie13 Stol Sandy Stash2sixx = Stable I will always update the first post whenever anything big happens too, you can view the floor plan there as well. Once we have enough people for groups I will post the teams there too. Cheers ISC Edited October 18, 200816 yr by I Scream Clone
October 17, 200816 yr Lord Dragonator reporting for overseer duty. Lets get these work teams organised. I went and bought a 5 pronged whip specially for this. Serious now, we first need to decide which group is going to work on which part of the castle. Then we shall see who wants to do what. I am happy to work on any part of the overall model, so ISC, do you have a preference as to which part you want my group to work on?

I am happy to work on any part of the overall model, so ISC, do you have a preference as to which part you want my group to work on? I feel to start we should have the groups focus on a back corner each. That way the smaller structures can be built around a large tower/centrepiece in the corner. Keep signing up boys and girls, and feel free to add a preference too!
