Cool! I can't wait to start building! I have been really busy of late and haven't had much Lego time, but now I have some time again. I think this will be awesome. Way to go, guys! Still building, Josh (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Nice contest. I have questions: 1. Are "ninja" style buildings and creations allowable? 2. If I have built something and it has never been in any contest or on any website save one (in which few people have ever even seen or heard of) can I use it? (...)

(...) Thank you. (...) We are focusing primarily on western castles. However, Ninja creations could be very appropriate for certain categories. All of the CCC compliant categories would work while "classic shop" might be harder to do. So I would try (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hi Bruce, That is probably fine. But the majority of "grading" will be based on what you do with the brick, not the figs and heads. Ben (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi Benjamin, the rules say: "Submissions can not be entered into any other LEGO contest" Since the ISCC III is running I have to ask: Why? The Colossal Castle Contest was announced at 1000steine.de today, and I think a few Castle Builders from (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I have I question: Say I create a really cool looking Castle creation but lacking a digital camera and not wanting to burn a roll of film for just 3 or 4 photographs I can't post photos, could I duplicate my creation in LDraw or some other computer (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hi René, We wanted our contest to be separate from other contests. ISCC is different because of the storytelling aspect. However, since many people have voiced concerns, the CC admins will discuss this and get back to you. We both want people (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hi Orion, This is another thing admins need to discuss. I think you will be able to do this. Although it would be cool to make creations for multiple categories and take many photographs ;). We will get back to you on this. Ben E. (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) That's why entries have to be "new" online, that's very intelligible. I've made such a rule in the ISCC I - III too. (...) I think about if this would bother me (people submit elsewhere-known entries to the ISCC), but I think it wouldn't. As (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I just find it so admirable how different groups with different contests are trying to work (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

Hi Richard, thank you, please tell this to my wife, she's so smitten with remorse whenever I'm "working" on 1000steine.de, maybe you can help me to get a little bit more understanding from her ;-) Oh, and Ben: I just read on Classic-Castle.com again (...) (20 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hi René, A majority of the CC admins discussed the rules and decided to change them to allow people to enter both contests. The creations will still have to meet our category requirements. Even though our contest ends on 1/20, winners are not (...) (20 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
