WAIT THERE IS A STORY FOR TEAM FARM ANIMALS

And thus Lady K discovered the legend

Are we allowed to enter MOCs we built before this contest was announced?

Yes—as long as I've not seen them posted to the forum before.

My 2015 BFVA MOCS

 

Piece count: I dunno?

DQ'd because at least 21 pieces.

I should have said it earlier - that Monty Python reference in there was great.

I wasn't subtle enough, then, was I?

"I baked you a pie!"
 
"Oh boy, what flavor?"
 
"PIE FLAVOR"
 

Why did I receive a notification for this blog entry today, and why is the timestamp today, when it was posted 3 days ago.

I bumped it.

Is this a judged contest?

Nope. Polls go up the day after the entry period ends.

 

The winner will receive an exclusive engraved brick

Would this brick be in any way farm related?

 

But if I said, it wouldn't be a surprise!

Ice Butterfly

 

 

17 pieces for the butterfly, 3 for the stand, 20 overall. (Unless you count the lever and base as separate pieces, in which case you're evil.)

I do count the lever and the base as separate pieces, but I don't count the stand, so you're in luck.

can we use LDD

As long as you limit yourself to color/mold combinations that LEGO has officially released.

I have been awarded a sneak preview of future plotlines and I assure you that if you are not reading Team Farm Animals, you're wasting your time.

You've hit the nail on the head in so many ways.
 
When I first attended BrickFair in 2011, I was ... overwhelmed. It was the first time I'd really interacted with the members behind the screen names. I wasn't so much "afraid" of the older staff as much as I didn't know how to really interact beyond introducing myself. That group has been together for so long that I thought it'd be rude to butt in and try and be a part of it, especially for a kid who'd just turned fifteen. Also, it was my first con, and I didn't know how to pace myself; it wasn't until '13 that I felt I had the kind of stamina to keep my energy up for the entire time.
 
On top of all this, that was the beginning of what has since come to be known as Team Farm Animals; the "group of younger members" to which Pat referred. And since that time, we've grown as our own group to the point that we're our own thing as much as the initial group was at 'Fairs before '11. It's inevitable with groups that large; even within the sub-groups, the levels of friendship vary. I know that Team Farm Animals has its roots among those who didn't want to intrude on an existing group, and it has now extended beyond the mere outsiders into its own little subculture.

One of the greatest things to happen during BrickFair: Sumiki calling me "famous." His words, not mine. I'm honoured.

Convention regular I've never met? Runner of a fantastic reference topic? Music nerd? How could you not be famous is the real question here.

Also, welcome to the Metru blue Matatu club.

(P.S.: Despite what I was told, I made it through the entire weekend and still say it "em-oh-see". I am unbreakable.)

I never properly thanked you for this pronunciation.

There are two major ways companies go about protecting their copyrights on YouTube.
 
1) Take the video down. This does very little in the big scheme of things and is only likely to make people mad.
 
2) Monetize the video. The creator keeps the video up, but the ad revenue goes directly to the copyright holder.

I'm fairly good at avoiding them, but that's more out of self defense than anything else.

I believe that you can print out your MOC cards if you registered late. I did that last year; the cards were a little thin but otherwise good.

 

I currently have this beard

Where?

 

Touché.
