ZCerberus Posted May 19, 2014 Author Posted May 19, 2014 Seriously though, I used to live in East Grand Forks on the west side of Minnesota, I know a little about those "brisk" -30 degree days. They certainly build character! I sure hope you didn't go to UND. Boo!! We worked on it off and on for about 3 months. There are two castle/fortresses and lots of landscaping. It was a a fun project.

MassEditor Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 For two miserable years, yes I did, until I realized I'd end up frozen to death or become an alcoholic like many of the natives seemed to be (Nodaks really like their hard liquor, it seems). And Boo? Hell, I went back when it was still the Fighting Sioux and we were like the top lacrosse team in the nation... I can't believe they changed the name. You know, there is a high school in Oklahoma just 30 miles down the road from me, the team's called Broken Bow Savages and the school is hailed for its cultural sensitivity... Quote
gedren_y Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Snow? We get that maybe once every twenty years. It's already bathing suit weather here. Anyone care to join me down by the water's edge? Quote
MassEditor Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Hey LV, you get your Phase II Warlords build to fit alright? I read reasonable overhang is cool, so surely if you're not stretching the limit too far no one will even notice. Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah pretty much. Added a couple of bits to it as well. Finishing up the story so I can tie it into my Phase 3 and my overarching story. Then it's on to Challenge 2 in Avalonia. Quote
Dr Rod Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Fellow Nocturnites, I've been bad and MIA a bit but feel the need for a MOC, can someone give me a 15 second run down on what has been happening in Nocty? i.e. who currently "leads" us and who would I expect to find trapsing about that deserves to be gutted. Dr Rod Quote
ZCerberus Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 Pretty simple Dr.-- Raavage and the Black Spire rule Nocturnus. They have taken all major cities and fortresses save for Abyssian. Raavage is pushing the Spire to take Abyssian while the Drown and Varlyrian wings are looking to take Avalonia. I might hold off on who needs gutting though as it seems a collab MOC/display set in Nocty maybe setting the stage for a period of even more unrest. Keep an eye out this week and next for what's happening in the Darklands. The story starts here, but expect "The Spider's Chamber" to be up on Saturday, "The Ruins" on Monday, "Dragon Keep" on Wednesday, "Zugal's Eyrie" on Friday and "Fracture" on Monday or Tuesday of the next week.

Ah.. well they haven't taken Dr Rod's tower yet ;) Are there some nice samples of the Black Spire troops somewhere easily obtainable or just a mix of various Nocty types? Dr Rod Quote
ZCerberus Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 Urukai are a good pick for the Hand of Corruption, though any corrupted looking troop from any guild will do. Drow look like, well Drow. Black with more black. And Varlyrians usually look like Conquistadors. Quote

Black with more black. And Varlyrians usually look like Conquistadors. Awesome, will be making a few free build MOCs over the coming months. Ultimately I want to make a large (40 odd baseplate) MOC of Dr Rod's tower and surrounding area, though that will be towards the end of the year I suspect. Dr Rod Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Nice to see you back Dr Rod! Looks like Ravaages rule isn't that cemented! Also, check out the Warlords Nocty community build! Quote
Emma Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Nocturnus is a little less quite then usual Looking forward to seeing your builds again Dr. Rod; and I anticipate awesomeness from this Z/Torgar collab. I've finally thought up an idea for the Warlords - hopefully I can get stage one built next week (definitely . And I have a GNAR ship ready to go, just struggling to get some decent pictures... Quote
ZCerberus Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 Yes, Nocty is back in business. And recruting new members. We already have a large US/Canadian contingent, now we need to expand into Europe. I've seen de Gothia lurking around here, and Gideon as well. Maybe we need the power of the Swedes in the dark lands!!! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I'm European! Ha. It's great to see Nocty active again! In other news, I was feeling fickle, so I've revamped my Phase 2 Warlords into Phase 3 and I'm almost finished with a new Phase 2. Quote
ZCerberus Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 England? That's in Europe? LD and Rod are in the New Zealand/Australia zone, so is Taz (where's Taz?) and ISC. So yeah, mainland Europe is the frontier I guess! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Hahaaa I guess Europe is the frontier- are there any more European Nocty members? Quote
I Scream Clone Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Good description Z, I was planning on a small outpost build, but now I have the necessary back story, perhaps Lord Ssilyrrylith will be seen again...... Quote
Ecclesiastes Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 perhaps Lord Ssilyrrylith will be seen again...... At last... Quote
Dr Rod Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Too late for me to join the warlords challenge, will make some free builds though.. Dr Rod Quote
Gilbert Despathens Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Yes, Nocty is back in business. And recruting new members. We already have a large US/Canadian contingent, now we need to expand into Europe. I've seen de Gothia lurking around here, and Gideon as well. Maybe we need the power of the Swedes in the dark lands!!! This is as good a time as any to ask, I guess - Shouldn't EURObricks have something to do with Europe? I'm still new here, but it seems to me that Americans are the majority party. Quote
MassEditor Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Like besides the fact that this website is about Legos, which were invented in Europe? I believe the spirit behind these forums is based more upon a universal love for the system rather than a further chance to separate ourselves among international boundaries. Besides, Amerobricks.com sounds kinda lame, you must admit. In any case I'm glad to be a part of the best guild here, and one with such huge variety for building inspiration. Though I must say, I wish Z and Torgar would stop being such a tease with the story and MOCs! Edited May 25, 2014 by MassEditor Quote

A couple of years ago, there was a April fools joke that was going to change the name of the forum to "Ameribricks". Looking forward to the rest of Z and Torgars story. Also got myself started on a Challenge 2 Cat A build. Quote
