Is this the same guy who was built a

based on another notoriously murderous totalitarian regime? People who live
in glass gulags shouldn’t throw stones.
Chill out, Junior Marshal.

Thanks for the thoughtful critique yet again, Marc. The Eastern Block is an
ironic look at the future of communism (similiar to Keith Goldman’s Iron
Reich, an ironic look at futuristic fascism - but not condoning it). And
while the Soviet Union has its murderous past, so does Great Britain, France,
the United States and any other regime you can think up. And the Eastern
Block isn’t based solely on the Soviet Union, but on a broad concept of a
future of communist society that stands at odds with quasi-American PCS. The
whole point is to create friendly banter.
Still, my initial critique stands: Richie’s MOC is unimpressive and unfunny,
for shock value alone. My MOCs never relied on shock value, and always
attempted to be good creations regardless of theme.
Why don’t you chill out, Mr.Nelson? You’re making what is a thoughtful
critique into a match of name-calling. I’m not throwing stones, I’m giving
my opinion.

I find Lenny’s EB works to be inspired, creative, and usually filled with a bit
of tounge-in-cheak. EB was also created by
Chris Giddens, not Lenny, though he rocks
as an EB builder. EB is part of a bigger universe too with the PCS, 3vil, Jade
Empire and others. Hey you can even check
it out here on Lugnet. You know we spacers
stick together, and well over a dozen different people have built EB MOCs, not
to mention all those that have tried there hands at the other sub-themes. There
is even a comic book with the EB in
it.
Lenny’s MOCs are well designed showing a higher level of skill and creativity
than we see most often. Lenny also builds more good MOCs, in more different
genres than anyone else I know. His MOCs are inspiring... Um, Richie’s moc,
yeah, not so much...
Lenny’s comments were to the point and as far as I’m concerned on target, and in
my opinion MNJ is just trying to be flame bait by trying to add his own shock
value.

| (...) So, it's ok to post MOCs about murderous regimes if you are a good builder, but should refain if the MOC is less than inspiring? (19 years ago, 9-Aug-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
