The Challenge

Primus

Entry posted by Primus

So, for any who have paid any attention to this blog, you should know that I am holding a challenge for MOCers/MOCists that have been nominated by other members. The following MOCists/MOCers are able to participate in this Challenge (In no particular order):

Toa Ausar
Ballom
Kopakalaka
Kaji
Luz Cero
Elemental Rahaga
Pulsar
Zip_Er
Chrome
Draxon
Draco Cyanopterus

Anyways, the Challenge is as follows:

Build anything that you would like (i.e. a freebuild). But, there is a restriction: The MOC(s) must only contain two colours. And they have to be specific shades of the colour. So, an example colour sheme would be Metru (dark) Red and Black, but not Metru (Dark) red, red, and black. Same goes with other colors with multiple shades (like blue, green, yellow, brown). Plus-rods, pin-axles, and pins can be any colour (so blue pin-axles are okay). Also, Toa Metru Heads (and hordika necks) which only come in grey are also an exception. But Eye colors are not exempted. Ball joints will also be exempted from the two colour rule. Please look at comments 14 and 17 for further exemptions.

Prizes will be put in another entry.

How to submit your entry: I would like to keep this contest as "popularity voting" free, so the entries need to be PM'd to me before you make a topic for the entry (if you so choose). I will not include the name of the entry in the content block they will be put in, they shall be named by a number instead. Also, this number shall change daily, and the order of the entries in the box shall change daily (or as soon as I can change them) In the polls, they shall also be denoted by number, which will not change. After you PM me your entry, I shall PM you back saying you can go ahead and post a topic for the entry (if you so choose) and I will give you your number for the poll. More information on polling will be posted at a later date.

Some more Rules:

-Entries must follow all BBC rules
-Entries may not contain Colored/modified pieces
-Entries can be 50-50 System to Technic/Bionicle ratio
Rules may be updated.

Deadline: You all have a month to make your entries. So, the deadline is August 21st (it may change if I'm not able to get on). Also, if all entries are turned in before that date, then polls shall be started sooner.

Any questions that the entrants have may be posted here. Comments posted by non-entrants will be deleted.

As the current situation with the blogs makes it difficult to find this by looking (and I doubt you have this blog favorited), I shall PM the entrants notifying them that the challenge has been posted.

Could the entry be, say, a stange of the evolution in my UBBCC50 entry?

 

-Kaji

 

As long as it follows the rules.

I had no other place to put this.

I'd delete this comment if it wasn't for the fact you gave me a blog approval.

Can silver be used as a third colour, so it, like Metru heads and Hordika necks, isn't a part of the colour scheme?

 

-Kaji

 

Nope. Silver doesn't get an exemption.

Ballom Nom Nom

Oh, and do bley and grey count as the same color? As they are almost exactly the same . . .

 

~B~

 

Like light grey and dark grey? No.

Well, this should be interesting.

 

Won't people still see the MOCs on Brickshelf and know whose they are?

 

-K-

 

Yeah, but I can't prevent that.

Primus! You just make another BrickShelf account that contains all our entries!

 

-Kaji

Genius? Or I could use my own. And you couldn't PM them to me. I know, you'll email them to me. Yes.

 

I get the feeling it was a bad idea... But why can't we PM them?

 

-Kaji

 

In order to PM them to me, they'd have to be hosted somewhere, whereas they wouldn't if they get emailed.

 

True...

But I don't wanna give anyone my email address. :cry:

 

And are we allowed to use transparent colours in addition to the original.

 

i.e: Black, red, trans-red?

I'm with Zip on that. Perhaps we could all create new Brickshelf accounts for the pictures. You could assign us names.

Then Just PM it to me. Whichever one's fine w/you. Just make sure I get it before you make a topic.

EDIT: I guess you could make new accounts, but that seems rather tedious. That's a good idea too. Actually, do that if possible. Though I don't know anything as far as names

Well, it still is as DV said: We all have personal styles, and me, for exanple, takes very unusual pictures, so they would know it was me.

That's true Kaji. I'll keep the polling as anonymous as possible, but there's really nothing I can do as far as the entries.

@Zip: I don't seen anything wrong with trans colors, so yeah you can use them as part of your colour scheme.

How about this piece?

You can't change the secondary color

And also "T" connector for fingers in the Hydraxon set, light grey?

Are those exceptions?

Link to comment
Primus
Yes, that can be exempted. And I was considering exempting those T pieces. They will not be exempted.

I know everyone's gonna hate me for this, but I really don't think the T-Bars or Ball Joints should be permitted. It seems like you're just adding in a bunch of pieces, so people can use the pieces they need to make a MOC. Having the use of only two colors really adds more of a challenge.

You know what? I'm keeping the exemption on the ball joints, but you make a valid arguement. Hands are perfectly easy to make without those T pieces.

Thank you! Zip, that color scheme is mine. . .

You use it your way.

 

I'll use it my way.

Meh... I think it is very close to a freebuild... which in some ways, bad and in others, good. =/

 

Anyway, I have a very nice entry started. I can see how a lot of things are going to work out, but maybe I'll throw in a bit of spice. ^_^

Is this a one-time challenge? If not, can I enter other challenges as well, without needing to entrer this one?

I'm slightly confused: Are we allowed to use any color ball joint? I.E. using lime joints with a red and blue colorscheme.
