My LEGO Nexus Organization

Looks like there redoing all the HQ

Eeesh... a bit harsh isn't it? No mention of Old teams, creator is in charge... :o

I'm not very happy about this. Actually, scratch that, I'm not happy about this. There are many other ways to reach a compromise, and they choose the one that just takes out the people preparing for LRC since DRC ended? I don't think it's right. No mentions of the DRC teams? *Shakes head* Something tells me I'm gonna be resuming my leave from the LMBs, and maybe not even play LRC when Beta ends due to the boringness of LRC(Even I noticed it =/ It's a watered down version of DRC.), and now this. *Shakes head*

Honestly, I think this is the worst thing they could have done. :X

DUMB LEGO, DUMB LEGO, DUMB LEGO!!! Now I'm only using the LMBs for MLN bands, and some HQs.

Thing is,i am nervous about the "no posting external sites" thing. I mention this place whenever i go to the LMBs.

Hey, that one's a good thing, that means they're actually starting to crack down on spam maybe. The rest? Not so good.

IMO, their new definiiton of spam needs refining.
Then again, it seems they never actually moderate, look at one or two posts and when the next generation of moderaters come, it'll hopefully be better.

And:
This rule is just ridiculous...

Completely wrong.

(No offense to anyone)

These rules were written because of the HORRENDOUS arguing that was going on there. LEGO had to do something. THey came down on the side of their existing rules. Big surprise.

Here's a newsflash: It doesn't matter who an external source says is in charge of a team. It doesn't matter who LMB says is in charge of a team.
Leaders emerge by acting like leaders.

And you can't control what you can't control...

I don't know anything about the arguing, I don't post there :D! I hope they don't close more HQ's though...

Actually, in this case, it kinda does. And there were other ways to resolve the arguments than denying talk of the old teams, making it so that topic creators have to be leaders, and such. Just because it happens on the others doesn't mean it should happen there, because in this case, it's something external. All they should have control of is the topic, as people even mentioned in that other topic. And people were arguing because they thought the DRC teams were owning the teams, which is not correct at all. In fact, there was actually progress being made, but no...

Are you saying that the DRC teams just moved to a new team, but didn't own it? Because I thought that was how it was anyway...

The point is the rules are the rules. If you want to change the rules you have to start by following them, and then making some suggestions for change.
And now that the hammer is down, it may be too late for that.

In Truth I hope they now make a whole new batch of teams!

Yeah... suppose your right MSRR. I didn't actually go on DRC, but I still think you should be allowed to mention the teams. If it stops the arguing, I won't mind these rules. If it doesn't...
TBD

No matter who the team leaders are, at least 1/2 of the racers won't know who they are anyhow.

That's exactly what happened... They just wanted to lead it by having their government, but only to help the team...

It is too late, and now all progress made on at least Wrench Wright, DTD, and probably Slicksta is gone. I bet he won't be very happy about this either >_> There was no need for this though, since I think it was starting to be resolved. *Shakes head*

Oh, and why is too late? Do you actually think they'd change this, which they think will resolve all arguments?

MsRR: And the half that would know... What if they followed their leader, and their team got led into losing? Meh.

TBD: I agree, we should have at least been able to mention them.

Most arguements on LMB outside of trades revolve around who is leader, who is in charge, who is boss.
I think the point of a team is to learn to work together and help each other reach a goal.   It doen't matter who the leader is, it matters who LEADS.

I am not forsure when we get the badge.

Copy the quote and paste it in your signature.

Yeah, progress was being made in other teams such as Tsuiso. TRM was about to hold an election for new spots on the whole government thing when the Mods cracked the whip, a bit to late in my opinion.

The mods saw that the easiest way to get rid of arguing was to make who ever makes the topic the leader and censor anyone who disagrees with it.
Sounds fair.

LRC=Epic Fail. Totally. So if the person who gets to make the topic is a complete idiot(for some reason Tim comes to mind :P) then that whole team's LMB base is dead. What a waste. And no saying hot, red, zero, maverick, or nitro? What garbage. Also, these mods are retarded not being able to mention that theres another site besides Lego

I'll help you, PM the blueprints to your assault plants will ya?

-As for the creator being the owner, **** that rule!!! If someone starts the HQ, but none of the team's racers want that person in charge, they should be impeached, it isn't a democracy anymore, JJ10 also said the creator is in charge "unless they want to give it up or hold an election", what are the odds of that!?!?!?!?

They said FOR NOW, so it may be like that for a short time.

Like they said the DRC sequel would be out the year after it was taken down.

I'm starting a gampaign to impeach several of the LMB mods.

Good luck, the LMB mods do not care about what we think. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( Thats why they throw turds at us like monkeys.

This is true.  As such I'm going to do what I should have done long ago and forget trying to maintain LMB leadership of my team and go back to what I did before it was ever suggested to me that I should lead a team: recruit, teach/work together, and win.  I don't need some title on the Lego Moron Boards to show people I'm helping the team.

I am in a way glad that it happened...the mods weren't stupid. They were trying to stop the arguements between the Freedom Fighters and the DRC people who were trying to take over.

"Freedom fighters" more like LRC taliban, the mods should of listened to both sides first.

But all the HQs? Honestly, I was actually getting some progress done in Tsuiso when it happened.

They weren't trying to take over. Leading =/= owning. They 'claimed' the teams as the ones that weren't the ones claimed by the other teams, and as the team where they were gathering. The only reason they wanted to have their government was so they could help the team, but you guys didn't seem to see that... And progress was being made. Tsuiso, Wrench Wright(Which even had a stable leader who was trying to help the team for the good of the team. Looks like he's probably gone now, probably to be replaced by someone who'll drive Wrench Wright into the ground compared to him), Slicksta, and DTD. You never tried to see the DRC teams' side. And if you had looked in the other team HQs before this all happened, you'd know that we had been planning to have one team for each of the teams be marked as the 'descendant team', the one that most of the members would go to. The only reason the DRC teams wanted to lead was to help the team with their knowledge, especially after it was found out LRC was a watered down DRC clone. And the arguments were started by you guys in the first place. Also, one more thing, have you read the topic about the new rules since it was closed? There's a few comments there that may be interesting, like how the team isn't the topic, so why should Topic Creators automatically get to lead just because they get lucky? In fact; that gives people who purposely try to take topics, like Jamesdey and his many other accounts(I forget his latest one) a chance to actually take it if they're on the right team and actually get it through... And do you really think they'd give up the leadership position?

*bangs head on wall* WHY, LEGO, WHY DO YOU DID YOU DO THIS?!? Sorry, but I'm not going to play LRC that much...

Wow, thanks a lot, lol. =P

Grr. I could not read anything thats to that color full word *puts bad word in color* I had too much of that at scout camp. But I agree to most of it (I do not argee to the bad word).
P.S The word may be French, but in my book it is bad.

He is just saying that the mods are mentaly challenged, WHICH IS A TRUE STATMENT.

eally in French it means slow, and they are slow. But still. No more bad words, or I will be forced to leave. Now lets get BOT.

That's not really a bad word. It's a legal term also.

Anyway, I'm really disappointed the mods decided to only listen to one side of the story.

Me too. I finally start to get somewhat active after having brain surgery, and they do this??? They lock down the HQs, and tell us that OUR teams (Maverick, Nitro, HOT, RED, and ZERO) are gone? And tell us that we have to accept a new leader whenever he starts a new topic??? That could be used against either side!

It was totally wrong for JammyJam to do that! Yet he waits for our side to start winning, in both Elections and debates, and then he does it for the other side. Sure, there are those of you who think we are completely wrong, and who keep telling us to think about what has happened to YOU. But, what do you think is happening to us? We are the ones who played in the Old DRC, and have teams now! And it's our fault?

If you are so concerned about who is the LMB leader of a team, get all the leaders on your current team to start topics. One of them will probably get through, and then you can figure it out. Just keep submitting.

And if they don't go through, or they don't get there in time, like him? =/

We're associated with the old teams, so odds are they won't let us post the topics.

Well then you have two choices, whine moan groan and complain, thinking of why it won't work and is all messed up,
or write a coherent letter to LEGO explaining what needs to be fixed and potential solutions..

I for one am tired of the complaining.

If you believe there is nothing you can do, you are right.

If you believe you can succeed, you are right.

You choose.

ORRrr, we can try multiple accounts (new ones, heh heh), and try to start one of the HQ's, then give power to an old racer, heh heh :P!

oh yeah...DUPING is a great idea... NOT

Good point. Actually, since my account is of 2009 (DRC was locked in 2007), the mods probably won't recognize me a Zero, or veteran (which they'll probably reject their topics), and might get it through, hopefully (my old, dead account is from 2006).

I do not believe the mods will block topics from DRC vets anyhow.

Do you really think after all they've done to prevent us from gaining control with these rules that they'd turn around and approve a topic that would allow said people to gain a leadership position?

Personally I think they just got tired of all the bickering.. I don't think they give a rip who is team leader of what team.

Honestly if i was not commented to CRX and the elites, i would just say forget the LRC.

MsRR aren't you in Slicksta? You could start the topic, and give whoever it is leadership (not that none of us can get a position in Slicksta).

Freedom fighters XD  That makes me smile.

Anyway, as those of us who were around for DRC know, the people who make the topics will most likely go by the wayside when it comes to actually playing the game, and the people will look to the good members for leadership if there is even a need for leadership on the LMB.

#1..That would mean I had to spend time on LMB... :o

#2. That would imply I was in favor of having team leaders on LMB  ::)

#3. You're assuming the mods would approve a topic I started... :P

Enemy... sheesh, I guess you are actually missing all the squabbling on the LMB's.
As for OB starting a topic for a team he is not part of, perhaps like ohers he plans to change teams when the gold release goes live.

 ??? Maybe they are actually doing something for the first tiem.  But the rest, the rest is a rash decision.  They do this because this is what they want and none of us want.  Why don't we get a say?

Or not. I mean, if I was really mean I'd create topics for all the teams just for the heck of it, see how many get approved, and then ruin the team on the LMB. But I'm not mean. Here. I've only gotten lucky once to have had one of my HQ topics get posted, and that was for R.E.D. Team back in 2006.

They should also bring back the HQ sub-board for Racers. A lot better.

I remember seeing the FIRST "Great Lockdown", I was new here, MystiqueMod was still in his mod seat (he locked them down), guess too much flaming.

-Anyone still remember Sc35?
-You seem to be taking it well, I think.
-What colorful language?
-This is my fourth PS.
-We should teepee the mods' houses with squid poo and paper rolls...1 in 5 Dbot will edit that part.
-*BEURK!!!

I still remember Sc35 and I remeber the HQ lockdowns 2 years ago.

I got another abbreviation for FF, and believe me, thats colorful language.

Anyway, they should reset the game, make the gold release, and have a period of time as a race off for those who should lead, not give it to whoever happened to be on when they let you start topics and they become leader because they know how to say "me first". If it happened that way, that would probably give the HOT Elite a better chance of getting one of us leadership. then handing it to CRX of course

Well, too bad I won't play on Monday so early, having school, I really wanted to be on the Beta, I'm too short on badges; my kanoka codes won't get me the kanohi badge, this account didn't have a personal page from back then, this account wasn't in the MLN beta, and, uh I forgot.

What do you mean?

Saturn: Kanoka Codes don't get you the badge, you had to have entered a Kanoka Code before it all got updated last year.

Oh hey, a new update;

Interesting, it sounds like we may be going back to the original format...

And I just posted a post explaining it a bit, at least from my perspective.

They better make the badge have something really speacial. because thats the 2nd time they said they where going to release it on such and such day.

Actually, they apparently said they'd try for the week of May 11th, and it could release at any time today anyway...

Ah, okay now I sit back and let the week pass.

I wonder is mabie the game is done. And they are working on the MLN part.

The game probably is done, and they're just waiting or something, since I'm pretty sure the only things to be done to the game was fixed the bugs, and I highly doubt they'd be putting anything new in from the sounds of the messages we've been getting. >_>

/EDIT: From the 'locked' topic which is somehow getting replies:

And this is supposed to resolve arguments... *Shakes head*

Maybe, I hope so.
P.S I reported that news, but anyways.

Wow, that's really annoying lol.  Oh well, now he has a position that doesn't mean anything, congrats to him lol.

Which topic is this in?

The peelie HQ.

link??

It's the only HQ with a new post since they were locked, but... Here you go then. (http://messageboards.lego.com/en-US/showpost.aspx?PageIndex=13&PostID=2084904#2084904)

Thanks, Blade... we'll see if my reply gets published...

Wonder if the HQ's will be unlocked. I'd remove them, there's alot of spam, and then, even newer members will be following others, who are no longer leader. It's annoying, like in FLN, "what are hits?", sheesh, the old FLN was getting full of them.

Why is everyone actiing like it isn't lego's fault!  For crying out cows, it's their problem!

It IS their fault, they said they would "make everyone happy", it only made the topic creators happy, and supporters, it left older racers, stranded, betrayed...

Well, if you guys are all that unhappy you could always switch to megablocks message boards and racing challenge... oh, wait.. they don't have one!!

ACK!!! *blows up megabloks*. The mbloks are evil.....

Now this is awesome news =D

=D

That is really good news! I always liked Jammyjam more than brickgirl...
TBD

Yeah, I think it makes up for the other topic myself, between this and the other rules suggestions =)

Well, I guess they READ my post even if they didn't PUBLISH it...this is exactly what I suggested they do!!

I don't know if they'll figure our problems the right way.

Well, at least they're giving the teams a chance, instead of saying, "Okay, here's your old topics back, and see those topic creators? Yeah, those are your new leaders, and you'll have to deal with it because they have to initiate the elections."

Okay they Finally re-opened and all of the HQs are made by Jammyjam !  ;D

I know!!! Now maybe the teams will calm down...

Maybe they are now ready to release LRC..

or maybe they are playing another cheap stunt.

What do you mean cheap stunt?? Sheesh... complain a little more, why dontcha?

Too much complaining leads to spilling milk, and I cry too much over it :'(.

-We can all hold elections to choose a leader you know down at the SPAM boards.

Getting rid of that "pass race" or whatever button. And I'm not complaining. I could care less if this game is delayed to 2020. I just distrust lego to do anything....productive.

Again, you guys ignore my posts 4:).

-FYI, it is called the "skip race" button. Now what team are you on again?

Sticker Shock.

That news about the leaders is a lot better than the old one. =D

No more topic flamez!
Hopefully peace can be reached.

There could potentially be elections..... if there aren't whiners (that want some cheese) who started the old HQ's of LRC.

-Jammyjam10 is the leader of all the teams :o!

She is a golbal mod

(my 1st reply of this topic)

Isn't Jammyjam a he?

Or am I just confused?

JammyJam is a she,

Wow... I always thought JammyJam was a he.. how do you know?

http://mln.lego.com/en-us/Publicview/Jammyjam10.aspx

Plus her old club page was very girly girl.

Oh. :D Okay, you proved it. ::)

I never knew she was a girl either... :o

I had a hunch Jammyjam was a girl, plus the name...

I thought JammyJam was a male at first.  :P

If you had ever seen here old club page, you wouldn't!!

I never did. I never got a chance to really look around...

Maybe it's the fact that she has a 'king' head for an avatar, so you would suspect she's male, that's what I thought at first.

Yeah, I think what got me was his LMB avatar...

HER LMB avatar, now BOT.

Bot after this post


I thought jammyjam was a she but then "it"said something about being a he and now i am deeply confused

She's a she. Now:

-Looks like the "Flame Wars" have ended...

They were ending when that rule was put into play. It's what I call late.

We are all late, but LEGO is later...

Strange, I still have all my stats from the beta. Did they not reset it?
