Ghidora131 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 LDD entries aren't permitted. Why is this, exactly? Cause, I'd love to take part, and do most of my MOCing with LDD, since it allows me a great deal more creative freedom, as well as parts I wouldn't have access to otherwise. I think it works hand in hand with the whole "no complaining cuz this is unfair, don't have as much parts as so and so," rule. Plus, with LDD you would have no limitations whatsoever and be able to create however unrealisticly large or physically impossible model that you wanted.

Tufi Piyufi Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Please don't answer questions if you're not contest staff. LDD entries aren't permitted. Why is this, exactly? Cause, I'd love to take part, and do most of my MOCing with LDD, since it allows me a great deal more creative freedom, as well as parts I wouldn't have access to otherwise. These are contests for physical MOCs only. The type of building in LDD doesn't mesh with that. Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!

The UltimoScorp Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Could you elaborate? I realise there's a lot of connections that you can do in LDD that wouldn't work in real life, but there are just as many techniques that work in real life that wouldn't in LDD so I'm honestly confused. 1 BZPRPG Profiles The Unofficial Guide to TBRPG Combat!

Mate.397 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 This one I'm gonna skip, I'd enter, even have 2 ideas already, but with my current job I don't have that much time to MOC, plus what time I have I want to use to work on the things I already put in queue for revamping. Then again not like anyone ever bothers with my entries, casual people can't compete with Mr. "Cluster MOC builder" who can buy half of BrickLink and get it delivered under a day. (And I don't care about the whole "Oh that's how it is just deal with it". It's a cheap excuse and you know it) Not to mention the general lack of interest in the non-famous builders/new comers, they're lucky if they get a view or two maybe a comment, even if their MOC is actually good or dare I say looks better than "X" big name MOCer's creation designs. You can't really call something a fair game if some odds are already stacked against some people before the thing even starts.From the rules: 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!While it's hardly accurate to say only the "big names" win contests or get any votes, it's 100% true that whining and poor sportsmanship can prevent you from entering any future contests. Since this is far from the first time I've had to warn you about your behaviour, this is your final warning. I'm a good sportsman, as I have not won but one contest so far and even that took me by surprise(Oh and it was not a BZP contest, it was a Christmas themed contest on DA by a Bionicle group), but guess what, it didn't get to my head, nor did I complain when I didn't win in the other cases. But these BBC#X year after year getting the near same results eventually piled up, making me see a bit clearer, the villain contest, a while back is the best example for this.How about this, make the game not rigged so everyone can have the same odds at winning instead of favoring specific people.

So you approve of prototype parts being used for these contests for a "edgy super awesome MOC" by X person who put his/her hand on it because being invited to some VIP event that only a select few can attend to? Thus gaining a clear unfair edge? No wonder that cluster of a MOC won the villain contest then. If that was allowed I dare you to call it not rigged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may opt to bow out of the contest for whatever reason but you cannot reenter under such a situation.
