| | | My Own Castle Competition. We are hereby happy to announce the official castle-building competition for the Castle Room at BrickFest 2004. The competition is pretty straightforward, but a lot can be done with it. It is the hope of the BrickFest 2004 (...)

| | | | | (...) A castle competition sounds cool but there are wayyyyyy too many rules for something that is supposed to fun. Granted I’m not a castle builder but I highly suggest simplifying the rules a bit if you want people to consider building something (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | Yea big, yea high, four walls, minifig scale, not 20th century. What was too complicated about the rules? (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | (...) The write-up was extensive (yet interesting to read) so that may be a part of the problem. I agree that the rules, thoa, are not overly restrictive. Maybe a summary post of the rules, would be in order? Here is my attempt at a short summary: (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | (...) I agree. (...) Great summary! Thanks! (...) EXCEPT I think you mean nothing NEWER than 19th century here. (...) Who, us organizers, guilty of elaborating as a way of drumming up excitement? Never. :-) Larry Pieniazek Display Coordinator, (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)

|
| | | | | | (...) I don't think item two is accurate. The actual announcement applies the 2304 stud limit to "raised landscaping" on which the castle is built, not generic "surrounding lands", which could include, oh, a green baseplate. This is actually quite a (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)

|
| | | | | | (...) I think this is indeed a bit confusing. I am pretty sure it is meant that the ENTIRE MOC fits on a 48 x 48, and the castle can occupy up to 36 x 48 of that. (...) I think it would be good to get that cleared up. How about the landscaping can (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | Hi folks, Sorry for whatever misunderstanding there may have been regarding the size of the castle. I'll try to clear things up a little. (...) I'm not quite sure where the confusion lies, but I'll try to rephrase. The castle itself can take up no (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)

|
| | | | (...) Hi Magnus, Would you consider relaxing the height limit a bit, to allow for some style variation (say, a cliffside fortification and (URL) narrow multi-story or ruined structures>), by allowing castles in the competition to be up to 1.5 or 2 (...)

| | | | Craig, (...) Thanks for showing interest in the competition! You mean like say building a castle which is 24 by 32 pegs, but twice as high as it is long? So 64 pegs in height, whatever that translates to in brick? I'm definitely open to the idea, (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| | | | | | Updated rules for the MOCC —Magnus Lauglo
|
| | | | Hello all, In view of the request that the size and height limits for the MOCC be relaxed somewhat, I have decided to change the rules to make for a more flexible building challenge. First though, Craig, that pic you had a link to basically looked (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
