Tufi Piyufi Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Official BBC Contest #67: Super Smash Builders!Video games have given us a broad spectrum of characters over the years, from the vertical lines of Pong to the colourful cast of cousins in Katamari Damacy and countless others in between. Inspiration can come in movie stars, childhood nightmares, and even the technical limitations of the day. As a medium, video games give us an unparalleled cast of players.If that's not a fountain of building ideas, I don't know what is.This month: build a video game character. Or multiple characters. You can't have Bub without Bob, after all. Just pick your game, and port those pixels and polygons into pieces!This is a timed mission! Get to it!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Entries begin being accepted as soon as this topic is posted, and will stop being accepted on Tuesday, March 18th at 11:59 P.M. EST. We will accept unlimited entries for this contest, so there's no need to rush your entry. To enter, simply post a link to your .jpg or .gif entry picture in this topic. Your entry post in this thread should appear as follows:Entry Name:Entry Pic URL:Topic URL (if applicable):------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A running tally of entrants will be updated daily IN A SEPARATE PINNED TOPIC, which will be posted shortly after the first entries are received.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Voting Process:Preliminary Voting begins March 20th and ends March 23rd at 11:59 P.M. EST.Final Voting begins March 23rd and ends March 25th at 11:59 P.M. EST.The contest winner and final voting results will be posted in a separate thread on March 25th.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rules:1) Your entry may not have been published prior to the start of this contest. You may make your own topic before posting in the official entry thread, but you must create a post in the entry topic before it is closed in order to be officially entered. If, after posting your entry anywhere on BZP but before officially entering it (including the blogs), you modify it and then enter it, you will be disqualified. You may only start one topic for your entry. Please post only one main pic in this entry thread and a link to the rest of the pics in the gallery on your image host (most likely Brickshelf, Photobucket, or Flickr). You can do pictures as normal in your own separate thread. If you need help posting pictures, please see this topic.2) Don't PM the contest host unless you have to. Ask questions in this topic and the host or an assistant will answer it.3) 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. Let's say, at least 75% of the MOC Bionicle/Technic parts. Pictures in which the appearance of the MOC has been edited in Photoshop or other editing software are also prohibited. If either method is used, the MOC will be disqualified. The background may be edited, as long as it does not alter the appearance of the MOC.4) Only one entry per member. You cannot switch or modify models mid contest. Once you have entered, you may not "un-enter" your models and enter new or modified ones in their stead. 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.5) 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.6) 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. They will likely also be banned from the site. Mods know this information, so you're not fooling anyone but yourself by thinking you can get away with it. We run a check on people with multiple accounts too, which is an offense that results in banning from BZP entirely, aside from the contest... DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.7) No "this is unfair" posting. Some people have more parts, money, time, birds, 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!8) Discussion is encouraged. Feel free to ask questions about models you see or about the contest in general. This is for us, the BBC builders; let's have some fun with it.9) The contest is open to all BZP members, and voting is open to all BZP members to participate in even if they did not enter an MOC. "Advertising" your MOC is fine by making a signature or avatar reminding people to vote for you, but mass-PMing is frowned upon and will just get you disqualified. Advertising your MOC in someone else's thread is also a major no-no. Spamming may result in proto loss or even post-count reductions, so don't do it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Prizes:First place will receive 8991 Tuma. Second place will receive 8979 Malum. Third place will receive 8981 Tarix. Thanks to Lego for the prizes!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Contest Host:Tufi PiyufiWell, what are you waiting for? Get building already! 5 Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Interesting. Not sure what I'll build yet but I've got a few ideas.My major motivation here is winning THE MIGHTY TUMA. Or Malum, or Tarix. All good. I might actually aim for third because having an even number of gold armor pieces would be awesome.

Click Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 So, just to be clear, it can be any character, including minor characters and enemies? Or does it have to be one of the unique, major characters? If so, I know what I'm going to build. If not, I still know what I'm going to build. Now the problem is building it... ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG18 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Two quick questions. 1) Is Lego Digital Designer allowed? 2) Can the character be from a Video Game released on BZPower? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chro Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 2) Can the character be from a Video Game released on BZPower? I somehow suspect that building my primary Broken Virtues character wouldn't be allowed...

BrickPharaoh Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Two quick questions. 1) Is Lego Digital Designer allowed? 1) I'm pretty sure it isn't. Otherwise I'd already have an entry Already started my entry That being said, not sure I'll be able to hatch it out in time, due to being quite busy at uni :/ Best of luck y'all!!

Tufi Piyufi Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Please do not answer contest questions yourself. I have to go back and answer them myself, and often have to disqualify an entry based on incorrect answers anyways. For the sake of your fellow competitors, please leave all questions to me. So, just to be clear, it can be any character, including minor characters and enemies? Or does it have to be one of the unique, major characters?If so, I know what I'm going to build. If not, I still know what I'm going to build. Now the problem is building it...It can be any video game character, yes. Two quick questions. 1) Is Lego Digital Designer allowed? 2) Can the character be from a Video Game released on BZPower? Thanks.No, it is not.Yes, it can be, but I would recommend you explain what character and from what game. 2) Can the character be from a Video Game released on BZPower?I somehow suspect that building my primary Broken Virtues character wouldn't be allowed... In a similar vein, the MNOG and Bionicle Heroes are video games, right? Technically, yes, but MOCs specifically in the style of a particular game would be more fitting with the contest theme. 2 Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!

Pahrak Model ZX Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Since you gave special mention to Pong, I'm inclined to ask if building those paddles would be a legitimate entry.

Makuta of Time Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ok, I have a slight problem. About a month or two ago, I built a Skakdi MOC. Not knowing at all what the contest was about, I picked him up and looked at him for a bit a few hours ago. The armor and shield remind me of a Centurion (who's game I won't announce yet). I have NOT taken any pictures of him yet I believe, so would he still be eligible for entry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanakalackin Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My sister made a little bug-thing from Bionicle Heroes, whose purpose was solely to get killed to give the player points.

Makuta Luroka Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 One final question: Since the photo quality is terrible (part of the reason I hadn't posted it), would it be permissible for me to touch up the quality the photos, provided that I also upload the originals? Or should I just leave them as is and play it safe? At the moment I cannot take more photos of the MOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
