Big Cam Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Ok, so what's all the fuzz about? Has the new brick member numbering system gone live already? Dang LEGO is watching us. Quote
bb15080 Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 only 2x4 bricks:sceptic:!! what is going on here:hmpf_bad: Quote
Aanchir Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 TLG is taking over Eurobricks! All the staff are Brickbots now. I think they're the TLG colours for bricks and their photos correspond with their colour. Alas, nope. The first number, 3001, specifies a 2x4 brick. The following numbers are Bricklink's color IDs, not TLG's. Thus: def = 3001/13 = 2x4 brick in Trans-Black (TLG's 111 Transparent Brown) I Scream Clone = 3001/6 = 2x4 brick in Green (TLG's 28 Dark Green) Khorne = 3001/29 = 2x4 brick in Earth Orange (TLG's 12 Light Orange Brown) Derfel Cadarn = 3001/87 = 2x4 brick in Sky Blue (TLG's 232 Dove Blue) Rick = 3001/59 = 2x4 brick in Dark Red (TLG's 154 Dark Red) Pandora = 3001/5 = 2x4 brick in Red (TLG's 21 Bright Red) etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Any with "pb####" in their names specifies a decoration, not a color. It's a cute naming scheme. While I would have personally preferred TLG colors to be referenced, the typical way to do that would involve using element IDs rather than design and material IDs, and besides some basic colors where the element ID is just the design followed by the material, those are quite unpredictable. I can't think of anyone who has them memorized, so that would make matters even more confusing for everyone. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Name and avatar change?! Oh dear, I don't see anything here... Quote
Erdbeereis Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I'm not sure what has everyone's bricks in a bunch... All I see is a good stock of basic bricks. Quote
Ardelon Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Plan 3001 from Outer Space: replace all authority figures with brain-eating aliens to prepare the stage for Alien Conquest! Well, thanks to Aanchir we know what the numbers stand for; now the main question remaining is: why? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Well, thanks to Aanchir we know what the numbers stand for; now the main question remaining is: why? It's just for fun. Last time it was chemical elements, I believe. JipH was hydrogen, Hincklium was helium, etc. I remember Dragoldnator the most, just because his all-yellow posts were so annoying to read. Quote

Glad to hear it, I was afraid I'd have to memorize the numbers... Brickdoctor's views and opinions do not necessarily, represent the views and opinions of the 2 x 4 brick coalition. Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 This is like my recurring dream, where all written forms of languages are replaced with binary... Excuse me, I need to call my therapist! Quote
Rufus Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Glad to hear it, I was afraid I'd have to memorize the numbers... But you must! You'll be tested on it later. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Did this start on the 28th? In that case this strange happening could have something to do with the end of the Mayan calendar Quote

Fred Daniel Yam Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 AGH! Even Sandy is assimilated now! He's 3001/01!!! AGH!!!! Quote
K-Nut Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Common sense points that if you start a topic like this, the staff will pretend that you're crazy, and say that everything is fine, making you feel like a dork, especially if you comment here. Now I'm leaving before they notice I'm here. AGH! Even Sandy is assimilated now! He's 3001/01!!! AGH!!!! You know that Sandy is a FFOL, right? Edited October 31, 2011 by K-nut Quote
KimT Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 So you have done bricklink numbers. Why? Are you on megabloks? Nope, what were you on, when you picked Jedi & Anakin as your display name? Quote
Derfel Cadarn Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Its a bit like invasion of the body snatchers, but I really don't know what is happening. All I know is that I am Number 87 Of The 3001 Elite 2x4 Brick squadron from Sector 7, equiped with the power of Sky Blue! Quote
