SkaForHire Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) EDIT: DaMaximus has been proclaimed the "Defender of the Weak" Congratulations! I proposed a January Push for Kaliphlin a while back on Jan 10th. Due to disorganization, some of our members did not see the call for builds, so I wanted to extend the due date by 10 days to Sunday, February 10th, 2013. Here is the parameters of the build - No larger than 32x32 Due Date: February 10th, 2013 Theme: Off to war. As we near the great battle to end Revolword's tyranny, many men and women will be leaving their families to go into battle. Design a MOC of somebody in Kaliphlin going off to war. This scene should portray a sense of duty (or maybe even conscription! ) perhaps sadness, worry, or even pride. There should be at least one structure / feature. Also, it could be a unit, and not just a single person leaving if you choose. Since this isn't "official" I don't think we can give prizes (although if we do get permission, I have a prize I can give.) So at the end of the due date, I will turn this thread into a poll and we will have the community vote on the best. The Kaliphlin member who wins can take the title "Defender of the Weak." (Given by the council of Kaliphlin Lords in absence of our great leader). Otherwise, it would be a "for fun" push. I stupidly made my entry too big, so I will just post it as a reference piece when I get the pictures finished, and act as moderator of this mini-challenge. I know we have at least two entries so far, if everyone wouldn't mind, please post a link to your MOC thread here and I will update. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Builds: Gedren_y Enchantment C 1 by gedren_y, on Flickr Skaforhire (Exhibition only): DSC_1958 by skaforhire, on Flickr DaMaximus Kai NRG Escape From Cedrica by gid617, on Flickr Edited March 2, 2013 by SkaForHire Quote
Brickington Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Can a none-kaliphin do this? Also, maybe you can convince the staff to give out a tag for the best build. And you could just make this not only for kaliphins. Quote

And you could just make this not only for kaliphins. I assume you meant a tag that goes in your visible profile on the left? I am not sure if GoH has any of those or not. I know a lot of the mini-challenges just give "titles" that people can put after their name (like your siege expert,) but not sure about mod given titles. I suppose it is only a short amount of time before ZC reads this and clarifies it for us (::nudge, nudge::) As for opening it up for everyone, I think it would be a fun challenge for everyone else too. Maybe we can have an "open category" for those outside of the guild marching to war too. Edited February 1, 2013 by SkaForHire Quote
Kai NRG Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I'm afraid if you call him CZ he might never get around to responding... Anyway, if you really want to give away a prize your best bet is to PM a moderator (not regulator, ISC would probably be you're best bet, but I guess you could ask Si), as I don't think it's likely any moderator would just go up to you and say, hey do you want to offer a prize? (Even if you did suggest it, still the initiative has to come from you. And of course I realize you might have already PMed a leader, or done something similar, I'm just throwing this out there.) Anyway... (for the second time), I'm working on something that should work now, I'll have it done likely by Saturday! Quote
gedren_y Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I am always happy to promote my builds, so here's the link for my Weapons Enchantment again: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=79049 gedren_y Quote

I did PM SI a few weeks ago when we first started talking about it. I didn't hear anything back, I will ISC one tonight then. Quote
Brickington Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I suggest having a just a mini-challenge, where anyone can do whatever guild they choose, just my two cents. And say I win, I would be able to put the title "Defender of Weak" by my name in my signature. Quote
Maxim I Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Nah man, no Avalonians in this challenge! We are not welcome in their puny capital as well... Anyway, you can choose which one of me you use: Evacuation in Mpya Stedor or Changing clothes Quote
Brickington Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Nah man, no Avalonians in this challenge! We are not welcome in their puny capital as well... Well that's real friendly! Quote
de Gothia Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Brickington: We have so many of our own titles and contests over at Avalonia and as DM says, they are only for us. So I think that the Kaliphlins want to boost their own free builds with this contest and not Avalonias! But you could always build a scene for Avalonia showing your troops marching. Free builds points are better then a little title! Quote
Maxim I Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Well that's real friendly! You have to blame the guy who currently runs your guild Even for the challenge embassy, nobody was welcome in Albion Quote

Mike S Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Well I probably won't be able to enter anything for this as Ska gave me another assignment which I'm actually having fun with.... Quote
SkaForHire Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 BUMP! Please vote for your favorite, I will end voting in one week. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I ended up voting for DM as I thought his build portrayed leaving for war the best, the others were quite close though Quote
Captain Settle Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I voted for Kai as I find his build nice and clean. Quote
Maxim I Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Congratz to my fellow guildsmen whoe entered!! @Ska, I fear that my pic is not really visible right now, so maybe it's better to take the flickr picture: (or if you used the other one: ) Quote
Kai NRG Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 For the record, I voted for Da Maximus. He did a good job of portraying the feeling of departure. Though, I am somewhat tempted to delete my vote... Quote

Kai NRG Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 why? When I wrote that, you were one vote ahead of me. Now it's the other way around... if it has anything to do with it, that wasn't my intention... Quote

Now it's the other way around... if it has anything to do with it, that wasn't my intention... Hmmm suspicious But honestly, I think we all deserved that title. Also Gedren and Ska made a fabolous entry Quote
Brickington Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I voted for the guy who was behind, I want this to be a close one! Quote
gedren_y Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I voted for the guy who was behind, I want this to be a close one! Thanks. The third party candidate splits the vote! Quote
SkaForHire Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 We are at a tie, so I will keep this open until Wednesday to see if we can entice any other voters. Otherwise, I guess we will have two "Defenders of the Weak." Quote
