Unofficial Bbcc #50 Contest!

This is the main topic, which I hope you link to in your sig. I do wish ToM's idea would have won . . .

 

BBCC #50: The Big Change!

 

You must build three stages of an MOC. So, if you're building a Toa, you must also build it as a Matoran and Turaga.

 

-=Times=-

 

[note: This may be changed later]

 

The Contest begins now, and entries will be accepted until August 9, 2008 at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Standard Time.

 

Preliminary polls begin August 11, 2008 and close August 15, 2008.

 

Semi-final polls begin August 15, 2008 and close August 19, 2008.

 

Final polls begin August 19, 2008 and close August 24, 2008.

 

Prizes and the announcement of the winner will be given on August 25, 2008.

 

-=Rules=-

 

1) Place all entries in the entries topic which is linked below. DO NOT PUT THEM HERE.

 

2) Your entry may not have been published prior to the start of this contest.

 

3) Don't PM the contest host [or co-hosts] unless you have to. Ask questions in this topic and the host will answer it.

 

4) Painted parts are NOT ALLOWED. No non-LEGO parts. All other LEGO parts are fair game; however, for the most part, they should be Bionicle pieces and Technic pieces. There's a 50%-50% system/technic ratio. The reason is I like system, and it's more creative.

 

5) You may build a scene like in BBCC #48, but you must have the 'baby' 'teen' and 'adult' stage. You may also have more Matoran, etc. as well. POST HERE. DO NOT PM ME OR THE ASSISTANTS. You cannot switch or modify models mid contest. Once you have entered, you may not "un-enter" your models and enter new ones. You may opt to bow out of the contest for whatever reason but you cannot reenter under such a situation. If you get disqualified for any reason, you will not be allowed to reenter with another MOC in that contest.

 

6) Any flaming will result in disqualification from the contest. Competition is good if you keep it clean. Everyone play fair, NO WHINING, no insults. I reserve the right to DQ any entry at any time for any reason. If you are disqualified then any posts in my blog will be deleted. That includes the voting. I and the other contest hosts will be watching. If you do post, I will be notified and I will delete it. I will have a list of DQ members.

 

7) Absolutely, positively NO CHEATING! Anyone found to be cheating or even suspected of cheating will face immediate disqualification from this contest and will be banned from participating in future contests. Of course, I don't know if you create duplicate accounts, but if it looks like you're winning for a weird reason, I will notify an Admin to look into it.

 

8) No "this is unfair" posting. Some people have more parts, money, time, fish, gigs left on your hard drive, etc. than others. That's life; we each have to do our best with what we have. Any excessive complaining may, at the judgment of the contest runner, disqualify you.

 

9) This contest is open to all BZPower members. Anyone can enter, anyone can vote. The contest hosts may enter as well. I will not enter though. Also, if What? enters and ends up winning, he'll get the TNGM [the prize for second place] and the second place winner will receive the 6-month PMship.

 

10) Prizes are welcome. If you have something you'd like to give, please PM me.

 

11) It can't be a barely modified set - it must be 'custom'. Or else, it's just LEGO winning.

 

12) If you are not a Contest Assistant, don't answer questions.

 

-=Prizes=-

 

First Place: 6-Month Premier Membership donated by What?.

Second Place: One TNGM [Trans Neon Green Miru].

Third Place: I don't know.

 

More prizes will be given once I or the other contest hosts think of them or if someone donates more.

Thank you for your cooperation!!!!

About the prizes, I say first place should get a choice. For me, a TNGM has much more value to a 6 month premium, so I would much rather have the TNGM if I were to win. And everyone know how much harder is its to get second than first. :P

 

But yeah, I think it would just be better to let the winner choose, that way it's fair.

 

Velox's answer to this question (to someone else who asked it) :) :

To put it simply: Too bad. If you win a BBC contest [put on by BZPower] you don't choose the prize do you?

 

So no, sorry.

 

Hmm... For the last one, can I clarify? My idea was to have variations on what the toa could transform into.

I'll set a scene. A toa lays dying, and will either become and angel, or a demon. It would only transform once, but I'd be depicting two things it could transform into. Get it?

 

No. That's not an actual 'evolution;' it's possible 'evolution' outcomes. Besides, it might be confusing to people viewing it. :)

 

It would be best if it's easy to see what kind of transformation is going on.

But also, in real BBCs a lot of the time first and second include a lot of the same things, first just gets things added on.

 

But It's fine with me, I was just wondering about it. I'm not mad or anything. I haven't even won, so why am I worrying about this? :P

How's about this,

 

Matoran->Toa-Knight->Ascension to Mech-looking Angel-ish Great Spirit-kinda-thing.

 

So the Toa goes beyond the level and becomes an awesome Spirit-ish thing.

 

Soul gets captured into it... Or something.

 

If that's not possible, I'll just be doing an evolution of the Angel-Mech-ish thing then. =\

If they resemble each other enough, it's fine. Just make sure they look similar, if possible.

 

If it isn't, try something else. :)

 

Is it okay to "swap" prizes with someone else if they agree?

 

Seems reasonable. Yes. But both the prize-winners would have to post in the results entry saying they agreed to the switch.

Not in all. Anyway, if you'd like to donate 2 more TNGMs, I'd be happy to use them. Although, I highly doubt you do, if you have any.

Yes, you must post here. There will be no threatening, trolling, etc. which is why you must post here, both of you, saying you want to trade. Then, I'll talk it over with What? and have him transfer it.

Well . . . this is a hard one. In a way, it is an actual evolution, if BIONICLE characters did turn into 'angels' . . . but, it's best to just go with what What? said, thanks.

For me, a TNGM has much more value to a 6 month premium, so I would much rather have the TNGM if I were to win.

 

Then go to Mfuss901, and get one for $1. Then tell me which one is more valuable. The prizes have already been decided, I'm not changing them now.

 

Can an acceptable use of the three stages be a creature, Before, during, and after a transformation?

Or how about a machine, V.1, V.2, and V.3

Or a beast Living, Dying, and Undead?

What about just three different versions? Like an angel and demon version of a toa standing on either side?

..

All I'm doing is trying to narrow down ideas.

 

1) Yes . . . since it is evolving

2) that would probably be fine too, as long as you can tell that they're evolving from one another

3) I wouldn't call that evolving . . .

4) that's been clarified: nope.

well, thanks What?. I haven't been here for 2 days, so I really appreciate all the help :)

We can take separate pics and GIMP them together, although it's "frowned upon", right?

 

Because I just don't have enough White Ball Socket to make All three. =\

My little brother is going to be entering, so please don't accuse me of dupe entries or anything. Once he completes his MOC, I will be hosting it on my Brickshelf, he does not have one. He wanted to join here to enter this contest.

 

Just thought I'd put that out there to clear out any concerns. :)

I just realized that it is frowned upon to edit pictures... too bad I don't have three Kadins.

 

It doesn't matter, IMO, it's still allowed. =\

 

Better MOCs>Edited Pictures...

People are voting anyway, right?

Give me a link to his profile, and make sure he posts it, not you :)

Yeah . . . of course they're voting.

Don't worry, I wasn't planning on posting it for him.

 

His Profile

 

I don't want to be accused of a dupe or anything, this is his account. He would like to enter contests, and this was his first opportunity to enter one.

Ok, that's fine. I mean, the Admins would know if it was a dupe account, and they wouldn't register him like they already did.

 

tell him it's fine to enter :)

You're welcome.

 

Should I have a backstory for them?

No, you don't need a backstory. :)

in most cases yes. Just so we understand that it really does evolve, even if it doesn't look like it :)

Wait, I have a backstory, can I post it here? Velox and only him knows about it, so I'd like to have approval from him only.

Well, What? would know too since he has mas my contact info even when I'm not here . . .

 

But, just put it in the entry topic with your entry. However, for safe purposes [not that I don't trust you] don't edit your post but rather post again.
