Lt. Col. Thok Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I has an idea: Perhaps an "amateur" contest open to other EB alumini, with classes for dukes, counts, knights, etc. Good idea or not? Quote
Corvus Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Did mine. Really, really simple but quite metaphoric. Read the description in the entry thread! Maybe it should have been a toilet... Very nice. I has an idea: Perhaps an "amateur" contest open to other EB alumini, with classes for dukes, counts, knights, etc. Good idea or not? Why 'amateur'? Being a Fellow by no means makes you a good builder- look at me! Dragonator: Anyway, now that I'm done pestering you, nice job! The fire is good (if cheating!) and the sleds are very clever. White Fang: Very pointy. Quote
VBBN Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Great entries everyone! My entry will be done tomorrow. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I'm done with mine! A small story can be found on the entry thread. Thanks for the great contest! I love yours Sir Nadroj, very funny. Quote
Dr. X Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) I don't mean to complain, but exactly why can't normal people enter? This seems like great fun, but it boggles me why it would be restricted to just the small minority. Edited December 17, 2008 by Dr. X Quote
SirNadroj Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I don't mean to complain, but exactly why can't normal people enter? This seems like great fun, but it boggles me why it would be restricted to just the small minority. It's my understanding that this is to be a special holiday "treat" for mods, admins and fellows. You can, of course, provide feedback on the racers, just not enter. Plus there are no prizes. There are always many contests going on here at EB. I'd suggest checking out the "Decorating a Train Car" contest, for some holiday fun: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23729 In the mean time, I wouldn't complain. TheBrickster probably won't change his mind. Perhaps he can elighten you on this issue (if it would even be referred to as an "issue".) Quote
JimBee Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Well, it really was intended for the Fellows and Staff, but as an Academy Teacher, I think it will be OK. I look forward to your entry. Oh, cool! I'd better finish that last review... Good luck to all! EDIT: Very funny entry, Nadroj. I also like how the snow box's theme fits that of the person who built it. Edited December 17, 2008 by JimButcher Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 The Economy and Leftovermobile - Top Notch! Excellent job guys, and very creative. Way to go American Team! NOTE: To all of the NON-Fellows and Admins: I would really encourage you to create some fan/sideline scenes. Guss created a very nice example of something other than a Snow Box. There's crowd scenes (cheer'ers and boo'ers), concession/food stands, sideline antics (even picketers). Let's add some fun to it as our Fellows and Admins build the Snow Boxes. Also, be sure you check out tomorrow's broadcast of Day 2 of the Derby on Classic-Town-net. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Way to go American Team! Is there a half American half German team for me? Thanks for hosting this great contest, I had a lot of fun building my snow box. I look forward to seeing more entries, day 2 of coverage and hopefully some great crowd scenes, which would be great additions to Guss's. It would be great if we could get all of the boxes and fan scenes together to make one big event. Quote
Batbrick Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Muhahaha! My specially made Batbox will totally and utterly annihilate TheBrickster's puny competition, as wlel as squashing Whitefang and dragonator's entries! I challenge you all to beat it once posted! It runs on pure Batguano! Muhaha! Batbrick Away! Quote

WhiteFang Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Erdbeereis1 and SirNadroj's entries are wonderful! It seemed we have another new dynamic duo appearing in the front line. Outstanding, but with my stunning snow box, I will crush both of you. Of course, better don't caught behind Draggy's flame. squashing Whitefang and dragonator's entries! Squash mine and Dragonator? Beware of our terror though, especially my long little spears! Quote
Batbrick Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Well where is it Bat Boy?Do we need to shine some sort of Bat Signal to get it out of the cave or what? Well.......that would be appreciated. Actually my Batcomputer is running very slow today Squash mine and Dragonator? Beware of our terror though, especially my long little spears! Muhaha! I will sever your spears Whitefang with my customized spear-cutting Batarangs! Also, wonderful entries Edbeereis1 and SirNadroj, I laughed at the "Economy goes downhill at breakneck speeds" and the "Leftover Mobile!" But I shall win, because I swore a vow on the night my parents died that I would rid this community of the evil that took their lives. I would use the night. BECOME the night, for I am the night! I am vengeance! I AM BATBRICK! Batbrick Away! Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 Isn't that an official set? Seriously, it looks like it could be a Batman Impulse Set. Nice job! - I am looking for a partner. Quote

I would use the night. BECOME the night, for I am the night! I am vengeance! I AM BATBRICK! Nice one Batbrick. It seemed you have renew your vow, pledging your life for vengeance. The birth of Batbrick and its first mobile vehicle, Batbox. By the way, I am sure Dragonator will be crusing like a GTR down the hill slope with its intense afterburners at the rear. Quote
Dragonator Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I would use the night. BECOME the night, for I am the night! I am vengeance! I AM BATBRICK! Um, you do know we hold these derby's during the day, don't you? Nice entry Batbrick, and a cool story to go with it. I love how these all reflect the sig-figs of the builders, this is such a cool contest. But you will never defeat the Dragon Sled! Quote
Corvus Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Um, you do know we hold these derby's during the day, don't you? Shh- he forgot to take his shades off. But you will all be shot or bashed to death by mine! It will destroy conquer all!! Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 Non-Fellows and Non-Admins: I've added a supplemental Snow Box Derby contest, "Sideline Scenes". Now everyone can participate. While sideline scenes and crowd shots are preferred, if you really want to create that sled that didn't make it to the official race, you can even enter it here. Sideline Scenes Rules & Discussion Quote
WhiteFang Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Fearing its awesomness, the Snow Droid has been banned from many Snow Box competitions- whose planets were promptly destroyed/conquered by the Mandalorians. Err... Uhm... Your Snow Box looks more like a devastating war machine. Should we banned his entry? *Runs to the organiser* On a serious note, this is an impressive snow box with some dangerous weapons. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 Oh my gosh! It's as big as an AT-AT. That thing is huge! I'm not getting in front of that thing. Does it have "frick'n laser beams" to? Damn! EDIT (about 5 minutes later): Damn that THANG is huge! Quote
Erdbeereis Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Holy crap... That is gargantuan! How many weapons does it actually have? I'd better cover up my pizzas... Quote
Batbrick Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Isn't that an official set? Seriously, it looks like it could be a Batman Impulse Set. Nice job! - I am looking for a partner. Thanks, I wish there were Batimpulses....What do you mean by partner? Nice one Batbrick. It seemed you have renew your vow, pledging your life for vengeance. The birth of Batbrick and its first mobile vehicle, Batbox. By the way, I am sure Dragonator will be crusing like a GTR down the hill slope with its intense afterburners at the rear. Thanks Whitefang, those afterburners will be draggy's undoing for it will be destroyed! Um, you do know we hold these derby's during the day, don't you? Nice entry Batbrick, and a cool story to go with it. I love how these all reflect the sig-figs of the builders, this is such a cool contest. But you will never defeat the Dragon Sled! Thanks Dragonator mate, I'm planning to blow up the sun on the competition day so it can take place in darkness I also like how the vehicles reflect the sigfigs, and you will be defeated my medieval foe! Err... Uhm... Your Snow Box looks more like a devastating war machine. Should we banned his entry? *Runs to the organiser* Er yes, I also agree, it is veeery devastating and flipping huge! I love it! Buuuuut, I don't think that is really as snowbox *runs*, maybe a smaller, more boxy revision would be a better idea? *runs further* Because that looks more like a tanksled than a boxsled *runs to the farthest point on known Earth* Batbrick Away!

WesternOutlaw Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks, I wish there were Batimpulses....What do you mean by partner? I've been paring people up as they've been sharing their entries. So far, we have: - The Dragon Clan (WF & Dragonator) - The American Team (Sir Nadroj & Erdbeereis) - The Wackers (Hinckley & Sinner) - just because they're both wacky (although we haven't seen their entries yet, they are often times pictured together) - You - Mr. M's Big Mack - And haven't paired me with anyone yet I'll create some more teams as more participants enter.

Ah, I'll pair with you if you want! I'll redo my entry with an Adventurers theme! Does that sound good? I know both you and I have a love for that theme Batbrick Away! Quote
