Lobot Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks Doc, I've just had a couple of random ideas and we all worked from there! I've really enjoyed being involved, and working with such a great team. It's been very rewarding seeing the high standard of entries we've had, as well as the community spirit that has developed!

Legofin2012 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Wow, a year already?! Doesn't feel that long, times goes by so fast now! I joined because I love Star Wars, but couldn't find stuff to build in the universe, so I was hoping that SoNE would give me inspiration to build Star Wars MOCs again, which it has! So I'd like to thank everyone who made SoNE possible! EDIT: Looking back at the first post I made, I realised I first decided to joined as a rebel pilot! Glad I chose the right side afterwards!

VK-318 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I joined as a way to help drive me out of my dark ages. I needed a hobby, I had some Lego's, and I liked what I saw in SoNE, especially the chance to compete in a very, very friendly contest and be (hopefully) funny. By the way, Legofin2012, what's up with the Jedi insignia on your uniform? Are you in fact a double agent for the Rebellion? Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I've been part of GoH for quite a while, and SONE has been calling from the shadows. So I reasoned I'd join, and see where I ended up! I'm looking forward to actually entering an episode though! Quote
Mr Man Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 It didn't have the effect on me I hoped it would, but I've been much busier this year than I thought I would have been. I hope to catch up in the next one. Quote
MKJoshA Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I wanted/needed direction in my Lego building and when I saw that this was starting it seemed the perfect opportunity. Little did I know that I would be sucked into the world of AFOLs and end up spending twice as much on Legos a month than I had before as well as dedicating hours of my life to this amazing hobby! I joined SoNE first, but it lead me to join GoH and both have been wonderful to be a part of. I look forward to what the next year may bring. Quote

Haha, no, it's my sig fig on flickr, I need to update my SoNE one, I guess that means the old one is a year old! And I might be a secret agent, but if I told you it wouldn't be a secret! ;) Quote
Lego Spy Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I joined to help improve my MOCing skills (which I must say, it certainly has (thanks to the comments from others )), and just as something to do. (Hey, look who was the first regular member to join! ) Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Well I joined SoNE before it even started , and I didn't participated much, with only one entry and one free build Quote

LucasLaughing Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I'd been lurking on Eurobricks for a while, and SoNE finally gave me a good enough reason to sign up for the site. I hadn't been building many MOCs in the year or so before SoNE, and I've found that it's really inspired me to start building again. It's also allowed me to fully embrace my inner Star Wars nerd The highlight for me has been other builders who have encouraged me to make each entry better with thoughtful comments and encouragement, and inspired me with their own awesome builds. Thanks also to the mods/judges for all of their hard work! Long live the Empire! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 And for this one I wish that the player index finally gets updated. Darn, telling your wish makes them not come true ... Well actually... index updated! I think I got it right, but you guys are probably better at keeping track of your own progress than I am at keeping track of everybody's — let me know if I messed up! Also, if you weren't in the index before this update and I couldn't quickly find a 100x100 avatar of your character, I used a default one, so let me know if I should change that. I also didn't add in anyone who didn't get XP through an episode or a freebuild, at least for now, so don't worry if you have 0 XP and aren't in there. I'll get on that soon. But ultimately, like I said, it's easier for you guys to keep track of your own progress than it is for me to follow along with everybody's, so would there be interest in doing this Heroica style, with each of you making one post in the character index and editing it as you go? If that's too much of a hassle and makes the game less enjoyable, then I'm happy to keep updating this way as often as I can. Quote

If that's too much of a hassle and makes the game less enjoyable, then I'm happy to keep updating this way as often as I can. I'm fine with that. Maybe we could have some people help by monitoring these posts to make sure are keeping track of their score correctly. As we saw in the aftermath of Episode III, math is not the Empire's strong suit, and official confirmation would be a nice check on human error. By the way, VK-318 has 3 points from freebuild "Desk Job," 6 points from Episode IV entry "Operation NOSECONE," and 6 points from Episode V entry "Big Rig" = 15 points total. You have 12 indexed; you evidently missed the freebuild; it didn't get much publicity and it was a long time ago. Edited August 4, 2014 by VK-318 Quote
Pointblank Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 , math is not the Empire's strong suit, I got to admit Math isn't Empire's strong suit, but it really depends on whats being counted. For one, I track the number of Rebel Scum, and furry little creatures I have helped decimate... hehehehhehe... For the Empire! To be honest, I am here to have fun and express myself creatively through my love for Lego and Star Wars. Getting the community to participate is more important and fun. I joined the Empire thinking the Rebel has outdone the Empire many a time. Points (and Rank) do not matter much to me, it's virtual anyway, even if it means taking 100 submissions to get 100 points, I am fine with that, that's me though. RL has already too many things to be concerned about, don't wish for none of that here... Quote

MstrOfPppts Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I too think my stats weren't uodated corectly. 86XP before the update +14 (ep IV) +21 (ep V) = 121XP In detail: episodes: 23 (ep I) + 20 (ep II) + 21 (ep III) + 14 (ep IV) + 21 (ep V) freebuilds: 5 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 5 Quote

Lord Vladivus Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Just a minor quibble, I appear to have been added as a stormtrooper, when in fact I am a rebel trooper! Unless I'm on a secret infiltration mission? Quote

Unless I'm on a secret infiltration mission? No, it's because you obviously made a mistake and joined the inferior faction when you signed up; I fixed it for you. I've moved you to the Rebellion.

Brickdoctor Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Inferior? You guys manage to hit that sand crawler yet? Haha thanks! We hit the Sandcrawler, quite precisely, actually. We also hit Princess Leia with a stunning shot on the first attempt...we just failed to hit any of the heroes after that. Quote
goatman461 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I'm at 51 by my count. I think you missed my Ep 4 freebuilds (3+3+2). However, I was looking forward to some time in the ISB, would it be okay for me to keep my rank until Ep. 7? Also, here is my 100x100 Goatm An 46-1 thumbnail by goatman461, on Flickr Ask Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen what they think of our aim, oh wait... Quote

Bob De Quatre Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I heard it was bounty hunters disguised as stormtroopers that hit them! My guess is that the sandcrawler hit a rock hidden in the sand, and stormtroopers just happened to be around... Quote
