Hard core maniacs? Yeah, that's us.

I get mine from other lugnet.castle creations, and from my own head. If I
just think of a cool way to build a little house into a cliff or something,
I just go out and do it. I've found in my .space experience that getting
all your inspiration from other people and not yourself often leads to
models that aren't exactly top-notch, because all you really are doing is
just re-creating their stuff. I'm not saying some is bad, but when you just
go and try to mimic somebody else's work, you won't exactly produce an
original work of art.

IMHO, I think castle would get jump-started if people started building and
stopped talking. Look at .space. They still have games and stories, (IE
Starship and Jassim's Captain Ahnee and the Dipwads) but the majority of the
activity is posting models. Lugnet.castle wasn't supposed to be a
discussion board for games- IMO, lugnet.fun.gaming would be a better place
to talk and not swamp everything else away.
Nothings gonna happen in castle if nobody builds. I think that thats the
major advantage of .space.

Extremely. Look at the .space fleebnork and sea monkey business. All that
provides Lego inspiration and yet is fun as well.
Just my humble opinion,
