    What's the verdict on LDD MOCs? As much as I'd love to build a real version, I'm short on CCBS parts and bricklink money. If they are allowed, I would assume they have to match colors with real pieces.

    Link leads to picture to be submitted, thumbnail leads to the gallery. First two entries use familiar names and characters. Nidhiki, the fallen master of air: Marendar One more to come. Totally new character.

    Is there a ruling on using substitute parts in LDD, such as arranging a few pieces to create the general shape of another piece, even though those parts might not appear in the color of the intended piece? Some part examples might be the new gearbox piece, or the sprung gearbox x928cx1 that appeared the hockey sets. Both can be arranged using simple parts, but appeared in colors the individual pieces did not appear in, like orange. I ask because the new Chima shoulder armor has been added to LDD Extended, but the new gearbox has not, and a few upcoming entries may use this new piece.

    I don't normally put much faith in the mbti, but I thought my result was a bit interesting: Which, if I'm reading right, correlates to iron: the element of my self-moc and OC, Rauta. Both the test and bzp descriptions are pretty close, too. I thought it was interesting how that worked out.

    IC: 7725, Maintenance Hall: Requiem IV "You want to try cutting it open?" he said as he opened a hatch on the cart. Behind the hatch was the vehicle's battery. 7725 traced the wires from the leads of the battery, disconnected the two, and tapped them together. Nothing. "Battery's shot."

    I guess so. I'm not sure if TLZ wants to throw in a plot point or something, but I guess he'll intervene if he wants to.

    OOC: Apologies for the inactivity, things have been getting "exciting" and I'm not much of a writer. IC: 7725, 306, 686, Maintenance Hallway: Requiem IV The group gathered themselves in the passage. 271 was the first to speak up about the cart and its contents. “Most likely a storage container of sorts. Documents if we’re lucky and the operator abandoned his post rather hastily. Tools if it only carried basic equipment,” 7725 stated, approaching the cart. 7725 began inspecting the cart while 271 examined the box. 306 watched intently over his shoulder. “Can you fix it?” she inquired. “It’s possible,” 7725 replied, “with the right tools and parts.” “Ok then, engineer,” 686 said, “what happens if we don’t have either of those?” “Then we take what we can and leave the rest behind, no sense keeping something we can’t use.” 686 sat down and leaned against the cart. “There are a few things I’d like to leave behind,” he muttered under his breath. 7725 continued to search the cart for spare parts.

    Writing up an essay of a response right now.

    Writer's block, perhaps?

    IC: 7725, Lift Tracks: Requiem IV306 stirred and sat up. She seemed fine. 7725 gave his best effort to help her stand up."Good to have you back. We're getting out of here."7725 walked over to the maintenance door. It was a simple door, presumably only ever accessible to engineers and maintenance crews, so no real security was needed. He grabbed a small slot which acted as the handle and slid the door open.--The passage was a bit larger than he expected, stretching far to the left and right of the door. 7725 could see a few passages branching off, though it was difficult to make them out as they appeared farther and farther away. It seemed possible to fit three, maybe four, Toa walking at shoulder width. It was, unfortunately, dimly lit like the lift tunnel. The light came from lightstones in frosted glass cases, which spread the light out nicely around them, but did not throw the light very far. A few were burned out or broken.On the left side of the hall, a flatbed maintenance cart waited patiently, facing away from the group. It was listing to one side. 7725 saw two of the wheels were damaged. There was no telling how much fuel the vehicle had, if any. It would be highly unlikely that the cart had the necessary parts stored in it to fix it, but it might be worth looking into.A wide, silver-colored metal box lay on the flatbed immediately behind the operator seats. It had rusted over quite a bit. 7725's heartlight skipped as he thought of the possibilities of what it might contain.OOC: I guess from this point on, assume 306 is following 7725 until stated otherwise. I can't really speak for her, though.Edits added in response to post below. I broke the cart intentionally to keep it from being an overly lucky find.

    I think we're still trying to figure out what to do about the missing post.I can hazard a guess at what happened to it, but we're probably going to have to improvise and I don't want to bunny too much.
  13. Rauta
    And 306 still has the vial. I was kind of hoping it would be our key against Mr. Fingers.
  14. Rauta
    No promises on getting exactly that, but I'll work in something.

    IC: 7725, Lift Passage: Requiem IV7725 watched as 271 freed 686 from the wreckage. He looked around for 306. His light played across the floor until it fell on the body of his companion. She was face down, but she looked unconscious. He rushed over to her, rolling her on to her back and quickly checking the suit for major damage. She had a few surface scratches, but no serious suit damage. He didn't know if she had any internal damage, though. They would have to check later."She's over here and alive."He stood up. "We seem to have two options. We can take the maintenance passage and possibly find our way through the hard way, or we can follow the tracks and see how far down the elevator shaft goes."

    Aw, that's too bad.

    OOC: OOC: I never gave you permission for the elevator to move. Still, this makes my plan quite a bit more amusing.-Toa Levacius Zehvor My apologies, nobody was doing much of anything, so I made something happen. Seems it finally caught your attention. IC: 7725, Lift Wreckage: Requiem IV7725 came to in a pile of wreckage. It seemed the lift had mostly collapsed, though he didn't know how much, as there was a piece of metal pinning his chest down.He moved his arms to move the remains of the lift off. He could feel the metal budge slightly, but it was no use. Exhaling as much as he could, he tried again and scooted out slightly. Yes, this would work. With the beam now just below his chest, he inhaled, sucking in his gut. He pulled himself the rest of the way out and stood up.He immediately stumbled. His whole body hurt. His innate endurance had lessened the impact, but not all of it.7725 looked up. Maintenance lights gave him some idea of where he was, but it wasn't quite enough. He flipped on his headlamp and saw the rest of the group sprawled out from the lift. He was glad they had been thrown free of the crash and not crushed.He swung his light around the shaft, surveying the situation. They appeared to have two options: continue through the shaft, possibly finding a floor exit, or escape through the maintenance hatch, which would probably be very confined.He ran to each member of the group, lightly shaking them to wake up. They needed to get out of there, and he wasn't sure he had the strength to move all of them quickly to safety.OOC: I hope that's at least a slight creative improvement.

    IC: 7725, Lift: Requiem IV It had been a rather uneventful ride in the lift. His companions had been rather quiet and he hadn't been able to think of any conversation starters. He felt the lift come to a stop. The screen displayed an arrival message. "We're here." The doors slid open and the group piled out. They found themselves in... OOC: I know I have permission to bunny 306 a little for the sake of keeping track of her, but I don't know where anyone else is. Your move GM.
  19. Rauta
    IC: 7725, Lift: Requiem IV 7725 waited for the last of the group to board the lift. Once everyone was on, he tapped the screen again. The doors closed and the elevator began to move. "Let's hope this works."

    IC: 7725, Lift: Requiem IV"All aboard 'Lift to Somewhere' now departing on level 5!"OOC: I always wanted to loud-shout that.

    OOC: Assuming this lift is similar to he other one.IC: 7725, Lift: Requiem IV7725 studied the panel in front of him. "Ok, ok, pushy."He tapped the panel. A screen popped up displaying..."Not very."OOC: Your call, almighty Gamemaster.

    IC: 7725, Lift: Requiem IV 7725 took up position in front of what appeared to be the lift control panel. "I'd be shocked if it was anything else," he said, chuckling. OOC: I'll be on the road for an unspecified time, estimated 13 hours total, but not consecutively, for the next one or two days. I should be able to check in from my phone when I'm not driving. Edited with clarification about lift controls, not sign controls.

    IC: 7725, Lift Doors: Requiem IV "Right lift sounds good," 7725 said, stepping into the lift. "Let's get moving"
  24. Rauta
    IC: 7725, Lift Doors: Requiem IV "Judging by the condition of the sign, it probably hasn't been tampered with. Could be a short or a lack of power, but both have the potential to take a while to fix." He kept an ear trained for the sound of a door being smashed in. They shouldn't stay for long in case their friend got bored. "We can all go together, or we can split up. We need to choose quickly, but I personally would like to visit Engineering if possible."

    Oh dear Teridax they're intelligent. I'll have to ask the next one about engine repair.
