JINZONINGEN73 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I've been moc'ing since 2001... when I picked up the Bionicle figure Lewa and got sucked in by his japanesey mask. I was a mod on another Lego fansite for awhile, but running out of money and losing my internet connection more than once pretty much launched THAT into the crapper. Now I almost exclusively post on: http://invisionfree.com/forums/In_the_Bric...dex.php?act=idx Here's my main Brickshelf gallery... the mocs date from September 2001 to December 2003. Some are gems, some are garbage, but all are somewhat dated. http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=9073 After making what I felt was a leap in skill, I made a 2004 and up folder... http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=70545 If you want to see what I'm capable of, THAT'S the one to click on. Oh, and here's my ugly mug... http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=164305 And the by far sexier: http://brickshelf.com/gallery/JINZONINGEN7...oulfeast002.jpg I'm American, not Euro... but don't hold it against me.

languages Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Welcome...I love that Bionicle mask.....have fun on these boards... Quote
gylman Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Welcome to Eurobricks Jinzo. Enjoy this easygoing site - best on the net for general purpose Lego these days. Any, by the way, your MOCs that I have seen in BZpower are some of the best I've ever seen. Not sure if SuvieD's monster building contest is open still, but I'm sure you could put in a very impressive entry. Cheers Gyl Quote
jonfett Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Not sure if SuvieD's monster building contest is open still, but I'm sure you could put in a very impressive entry. I believe its open until Monday 31st, so you have time to enter still. Welcome to Eurobricks Jinzo! It's always nice to see another lively member! ;) Jon. Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted October 25, 2005 Author Posted October 25, 2005 Any, by the way, your MOCs that I have seen in BZpower are some of the best I've ever seen. And from now on it'll only be mocs you've seen on Brickshelf, IntheBricks and this site if they don't start taking contest theme / rule enforcement seriously. Seriously, man... centaurs, mecha, dragons, samurai, cyclops, Bionicle Rakshi in a HALLOWEEN contest? Yeah, I kinda' got pissed and left BZ. I'll go back if they can do 3 BBC (Bionicle Based Creation) contests in a row without making my brain pop out and roll underneath the refrigerator due to vague contest parameters and disrespect for those who do things right. So, do you guys have rules here? I've been looking around for some kind of guidelines on language and image use. ... ...I get rowdy sometimes. :D Quote
Jipay Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Welcome here. We are a REALLY different community from In The Bricks, definitly not the same spirit, but I do hope you will enjoy your time here. The fact we don't have particular rules is because here people are supposely responsible for what they post. We are not their second-web-mum and decided intentionaly not to be restrictive. So far it has been a success. We also have a large admin team to watch out what happens. As for the contest rules, they are decided by the people who launch them. Again, we are not here to have endless debates on what people should do or not do with TLC's products :| Quote

We post in respect of each other and we remember that many of the people on this board are within the 12-16 range. Many are new to LEGO and many are coming out of a dark age and are improving there skills. Respect gets it done. As far as contests just click on the link in my sig. to find out more about the contest I am holding. You have about a week left to get an entry in. I tried to be strict enough to provide structure but loose enough to provide freedom in building. The contest has basically three rules -you can't steal others work (literally copy their designs) -it can't be a minifig (it must be a built monster) -it has to be a monster There are a number of categories, pick one (or five) and build something. Enjoy yourself here. This community is pretty laid back. Quote
Norro Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Welcome next generation of Bionicle Hero... I am afraid I can't comment on your MOCs being a trad brickest but hey... God Bless, Nathan Quote

Supreme Oompa Loompa Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Your MOCs are very beautiful Jinz. And you have some kickass hair. Now, if we could just get you back into that mod position on BZP then we could have some REAL contests again Quote
KimT Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Welcome - enjoy the site. - All are welcome even Americans and Me ;) KimT Quote

Ninjo's a good guy. I have faith in him. That can change of course, if the kids who care and follow rules continue getting trampled by non-qualifying contest mocs again. And mysteriously "vanishing" post deletions. And not answering questions in PMs. >-| Quote
prateek Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 after all these years as a BZPer u join EB. HAVE A GREAT TIME HERE!!!!!! Quote

Though there are some MOCs that don't resemble megablock that are entered as General Grievous (BBC 28- Prime example) yet they're not disqualified...and the editing of the pictures I never really got that (Especially since sometimes people don't have access to the place that they want to take their pictures) so several good entries were DQ'd Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Posted October 30, 2005 I still remember when I entered the Career Day one, you stuck to the rules and disqualified mine... And I hate doing it, especially when it's tiny, nearly insignificant stuff. Though there are some MOCs that don't resemble megablock that are entered as General Grievous (BBC 28- Prime example) yet they're not disqualified... I know... it makes me want to bang my head through a glass window. Hermaphrodite in a female contest? Mythical greek / medieval beings, mecha, Bionicle Rakshi in a Halloween contest? I would've DQ'ed till the cows came home. and the editing of the pictures I never really got that (Especially since sometimes people don't have access to the place that they want to take their pictures) so several good entries were DQ'd I do and I don't understand it. I think the main concern was to eliminate people adding things onto mocs that they CAN'T actually physically do. I think it's also to stop people from obscuring a super-crap moc behind non-crap photoshopping junk. Take the (out-of-theme) Rakshi that beat Cajun in the finals of the last contest. Not ONLY was it out of theme, but the spines on the back went behind photoshop lettering. Honestly, to me, that's no big deal. If NOONE had been dq'ed in that contest that time, I just might have let it pass on that one point. But it wasn't. Someone else's moc WAS dq'ed for photoshop bleeding. But this moc, which wasn't even supposed to be there because it wasn't in theme, wasn't disqualified? It makes no sense. I know I pissed alot of people off by being a disqualifying hardass, but rather that than to TOTALLY piss on people who cared to follow the rules losing in their polls to dragons, rakshi and other stuff out of theme.

Supreme Oompa Loompa Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Whoa, an entry was dq'd for bleeding? I have to see this *Looks up BBC30 Entry List* Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Posted October 31, 2005 Whoa, an entry was dq'd for bleeding? I have to see this *Looks up BBC30 Entry List* BBC 31 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MechaPop...ries/rainek.gif Popo's "Rainek". And then, Skelerahk: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MuffinTo...skelerahk00.jpg Both broke the 3rd guideline, but only Popo's was deleted... while the one also out of theme went on to kill Cajun's sweet vampire bat: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=148887 Quote
Zane Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Hmph. But I think the Skelerahk was in theme, it's a skeleton Rahkshi, so..... Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Posted October 31, 2005 Hmph. But I think the Skelerahk was in theme, it's a skeleton Rahkshi, so..... I'd agree, but someone was going to do a snake warrior but was told they couldn't. But a skeleton Rakshi was? It's like... the same thing. Bleh. I'll just sit back and see if anyone starts taking the running of future contests seriously from here on in. Quote
Zane Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Hm, I see. I hope BBC32, whatever it'll be, will be a bit more fair then. I'm already planning my entry! My cruddy, sucky entry! *wub* Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted November 1, 2005 Author Posted November 1, 2005 I MIGHT enter, just because I have a moc that'll probably kick some butt. I'll have to see if the prizes are worth it or not. Here's a pic of the late prototype: Quote
