We want to dispel that notion that age and skill and parts are interrelated.
I’d say it’s more the ability of the person and their character. I’m only
17, but I’ve got more bricks than some of the adults I know (85k to their
60k). He’s a better builder than I, too (regardless of age).

Well, IMHO, whether we like it or not, thats the way it is. My logic is that a
builder who’s been around on planet earth for a longer time will simply have had
more time to collect neat sets and parts, and also have had the time to look
through other creations and ideas, and add to it the fact that teens don’t have
much time anyway, I think these three factors are a valid consideration. Don’t
get me wrong, I think that dispelling the notion that these factors are
interconnected is very important, and indeed, this should be the whole point of
having a contest in the first place, but at this point I’m just looking at the
cold hard facts.

I think a vignette contest might be a dandy idea. Actually, what if it
wasn’t so much a contest as a build project, like .space’s seed parts?
That’d eliminate the seeing who’s best feeling and be more of a way to
introduce more of us to the rest of the online community.

A good idea, but what would be the seed part? you’d need something common
enough for most people to have, but at the same time, you could hardly use a 2 x
4.... Something interesting enough to be basing an MOC on, yet not too rare for
someone not to have in the average sized collection. Also, I think it’d be a
good idea if the part transcends all themes: for example, you could hardly use
the Han Solo carbonite brick in town (which is not to say it would be
impossible, even right now I’m thinking of a road roller flattening Han onto the
tarmac which would make a hilarious town vignette scene :-D) But still.... I’ll
try and have a think and come back to post.
Till then,

| (...) I've had my think, and only one part keeps coming back to me (drumroll please) 1 x 1 Lever! I think its perfect, mostly everyone has at least ONE, if not hundreds. And its not as bad as the 2 x 4 (or the like), either. But if anyone else has (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-05, to lugnet.people.teens, FTX)
