Perimeters are still open, awards are in the air

Legodac, you realize that the idea of a building contest has been approved, but I'm just waiting for a good time to start the official contest, right? In fact, technically it's been approved for a long while, just not the theme, which I'm pretty sure passed as two people agreed and no-one else bothered to comment on it. =P Awards, I'm not sure, but there'll definitely be a sprite award of some sorts, as I want to make the awards thing be used more.

Well Blade, that's cool, so we just need to iron out some details, the theme is almost there, redesigning of sets is out I think. I also think that experience is out as well, since I think it was Micah477 who said it has nothing to do with age, which is true.

So the theme would be simple, your creation scratch built, wether or not you redesign from an existing set.

We are all the same in creations eyes.

We all vote at the end of the month, which brings up the question, Do we have enough time to start this before Christmas, or should we wait to begin this ringing in the New Year?

I think that last question depends on how fast we can set things up.

As I recall, we still need to decide on the awards and the two I've suggested I still agree with, a trophy, oh wait, what about trophies for first second and third place, the way KF did it with a twist. You would be awarded with a 1, 2, or 3rd place trophy placed for everyone to see where we put our FMotM awards. Perhaps a Lego brick with a 1, 2 or 3 inside on a stand, or the stand is the Lego Brick with the 1,2 or 3 on top?

Details pending, this contest should be a community decision as to how it's layed out.

The last point is the rep thing, and if we turn to placement as to 1, 2 and 3rd place, then I think first is when you get the rep. I offered that you could only win once every six months, which would meansome points I don't understand fully, like when Blade trys to make me understand about the bandwidth thing.

Bottom line is this...and these are the details we need to all agree upon

The Official MLNO Featured Lego Model of the Month
Your entry is your own creation, and out of fairness to, it must be Brand Spanking New, a creation, just for us and this contest. what you do with it afterwards is none of this contests business. In other words, I can't use any of my past creations to enter, this is a good idea.

At the end of the month, we all vote on who we believe is first second and third and....


You need not enter to vote, whereby increasing popularity of the contest aswell as member turnout for the forum.


The winners, as in 1st, 2nd and 3rd all recieve trophies that will be displayed where we show the FMotM trophies. The details as to how often one can win need to be ironed out as does the rep issue, if we actually decide to apply it.

On that note of rep, I still believe that offering that additional incentive will exponentialy increase turnout and make a few people, like KF said, come here more often, and that's what it's all about...

              So what do you think?
