Nothing Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Really nice teaser, Brickster! (It's my second day and I'm beginning to memorize names) I can't wait to see the real thing! :) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted March 30, 2006 Governor Posted March 30, 2006 What has been happening with this this lately? Did it get completed? Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted March 30, 2006 Author Posted March 30, 2006 Members don't seem too interested in mysteries anymore. Murder on Flight 514 was left unsolved after several attempts to keep the mystery going. I ended up destroying Ghost Town with just pictures to remember. Maybe another time when a few people have the interest. These take a lot of time and work. Welcome Nothing (although I'm not sure about your name). Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted March 30, 2006 Governor Posted March 30, 2006 The Brickster, have you posted the pictures yet? You could post them in this thread if you wanted to share them. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted March 30, 2006 Author Posted March 30, 2006 I've somewhat shared them on different posts and don't have too many left. Most are posted and can be found under my Index of MOCs and Images. Also, I edit the original images to give them the mystery-look that does take some time. I've actually got something else in mind re. Adventure but this idea won't be a mystery like I've done in the past. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted March 30, 2006 Governor Posted March 30, 2006 T'was just a thought if you wished to put all the picture related to this idea in one convenient location... But whatever is good. Very goooooood! Quote
Brick Miner Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 i love the "ghost town" sub-theme of western MOC building... i think its great you have given it an identity here on this forum. you should keep doing it... i have a couple concept i have developed, but have no camera to capture and share them (yet!!!) i do not understand the mysteries thing though... i fall into this category: Members don't seem too interested in mysteries anymore. Murder on Flight 514 was left unsolved after several attempts to keep the mystery going. i would like to see "ghost town" be simply a group of well crafted MOCs !!! not a "mystery" game. its cool you want to tell stories with your legos, but im not sure a public venue is the most correct fashion. however, if board members enjoyed them in the past, i respect that. - brick miner Quote

I can't speak for the other members but I do think the participants enjoyed them. Take a look at the mystery threads and the post counts for Murder on the Lego Express, Mystery at Crowley Mansion, and Paradise Lost. I suppose you weren't a member when these mysteries were being shared, but they did get a lot of activity. This is one of the best things about Eurobricks, and that is, one can share their creativity in many ways through these message boards. The number of posts/responses is a good measure of how well people receive what you share. But I must admit that interest has faded away compared to before, but there's no limit to ideas and the creativity of the members who post regularly. I went ahead and posted the images of Ghost Town as Phes recommended (but as a new post). Ghost Town Imagery Quote
Brick Miner Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks, but I disagree with you in regard to sharing Lego stories (mysteries) in a public venue. I can't speak for the other members but I do think the participants enjoyed them. yes, i am new on this lego board, so who am i to say what is enjoyed here !!! sorry for coming off like that !!! let me explain the idealogy behind my commment... personally, i have stories and characterizations about my minifigs just as anyone else, but i can't imagine sharing them with anybody. only because i can't imagine anyone would enjoy them !!! i believe that its up to the viewer to create and imagine that. this theory roots in going to the store as a little kid and looking at all the legos on the shelf, and just imagining what adventures the minifigs could have if i owned the sets. LEGOS are about imagination, and i wouldn't want to take that away from anyone viewing my MOCs. but LEGOs can be enjoyed in lots of way, so enjoy !!! - brick miner Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted March 31, 2006 Author Posted March 31, 2006 No problem BM. In regard to my mysteries, I build MOCs as inspiration from the stories. The story usually comes first for me (at least in regard to the mysteries). In fact, Crowley Mansion was built by another member (Bloody Jay) based on the story-line. I suppose as I get older, the stories are what inspire me to build (not playing with the set/MOC like when I was a kid)- and I also enjoy writing. I would encourage you to share your stories because words are just as important as images. What's the saying? (the book is always better than the movie) - but then again a picture says a thousand words. In any case, as an AFOL, it's the stories that I enjoy more than the play, but members (like Phes) will sometimes ask for a story when sharing images (even when sometimes there is no story). It is all about enjoyment, and we all have our different interests just like with hobbies. Quote
