We’re doing Dirty Buildster twice at Brickworld. Once Thursday night after
set-up at 10p.m. And again Saturday night at 8:00p.m.
You can get into one or both games. If you miss Thursday night you can still
join us on Saturday, or you can chose to do only both events. If you plan on
doing both events please plan on bringing enough bricks for both events. Don’t
assume that your going to want to give away the crap that you get Thurday night
on Saturday night. You may get some pieces that you actually want.
The RULES!!!!
If you want to be involved, you show up with two bags (preferable opaque). EACH
bage is to contain 20 basic bricks. This can be anything from a 1x1 up to a
1x16 or 2x10. They can be all one color or mixed colors. But they can’t be
slopes, facet bricks, or inverted bricks.
EACH bag is also to contain 80 elements that are not basic bricks. They can be
anything at all, plates, minifig pieces, support elements, galador parts, wheels
without rims, etc. It should be parts that you value the least in your
collection and stuff someone else will probably have a hard time building with.
They do have to be real LEGO elements.
No pawning your knock-off brand pieces on someone else. Pieces are also to be
in good to new condition (no cracked, broken, chewed, written on, or melted
pieces. The pieces will be counted the way they come out of the poly bags in a
set. For instance: you could put in a minifig torso with its arms and hands
intact but you couldn’t put in just hands, torsos, or arms because when you
received them in a set they were already connected, so it only counts as one
piece, not five. Because of this, some hinge elements can be given as only a
ball joint but not other ball element. In the 80 pieces no particular element
can be repeated more than 10 times regardless of color. So you can’t give
someone 80 1x1 plates, just 10 at the most. But you could put 10 1x1 plates in
each bag if you so wished.
During the event both of your bags will have a ticket stapled to it.
The other half of those tickets will be placed in a bag. We’ll randomly select
someone to go first because it really doesn’t matter. The person who draws the
first ticket will receive that corresponding bag. The person who just had their
bag called will then be the next person to draw a ticket until all the bag are
exchanged (hence all the tickets are drawn). In the event that you draw your own
ticket your stuck with your own crummy pieces.
The bags that you receive you are now stuck with. You now open the two bags,
combine the pieces and start building something, anything. It can be a house,
car, spacecraft, scuplture, or whatever you can come up with. You can use as
many or as few of the 200 pieces as you wish. The “creations” will then be
collected and displayed the following morning at 11:am. Thursday night’s event
will be judged during the public session on Saturday and Saturday’s event will
be judged during the Sundays public session.
This was fun when we did it before. Hope you join us.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
I’ll see ya in June.
