This thread will serve a similar purpose to the GC threads on MOCpages, a freely open topic for you to chat about whatever you want!

Well, apparently we need a conversation starter.



How's this? Comments, reactions?

The ranking system involving post count is mainly for prestige, and for people to feel good about themselves. The colorized names system is based on how people feel about you, how people respect you, and how much and how intelligently you contribute.

How is the intelligence thing measured? Do other vote on the posts or something?

EDIT: Should I move this to the questions thread?

Hi.

Oy, Vey...

You guys don't need to wait for me to post something to be able to post something yourself.

You realise that if anyone posts anything now it'll look like they thought they had to wait for you post something.

Neat trick.

EDIT: Darn, now I've made everyone think about it...

Well, it might be helpful if you provide us with a link... If there's one thing I've learned, it is to assume that everyone is lazy, and won't google whatever you're talking about, so you have to provide them with a link.

Your link must be a ninja: no one can see it. You should probably change the text colour to blue or something for hyperlinks so people can see them.

Done.

Guys! i just figured out a way to simplify the TCS battlecard system! Ok, basically we would keep the Profile Cards (except, for the sake of simplicity, use numbers instead of bars) But the Battlecard data would be represented on the unit itself. The unit would have a primary color, representing the type, and three decal colors representing Speed, Defense, and Range. the Attack stat would be represented by the number and type of weapons; the weapons would be standardised and interchangable between units. Damage and Debuffs would consist of the removal of Decal-Colored bricks, and each Attack point would represent the ability to remove one Decal brick. Repair vehicles would simply carry spare decals that they can share with other units. Chunkblaster, Why didn't YOU think of that? I gotta go, I'm suposed to be doing homework...

Not sure how many of you have seen this (not many, I'm guessing), but LEGO has announced a new theme. Yeah, big deal, I know, they do this all the time. But there is something interesting about this one.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Yeah, monster fighting, big whoop. Take a look at the main character, Doctor Rodney Rathbone. Also take a look at Major Quinton Steele and Jack McHammer. What do they all have in common? Prosthetic replacements. Rathbone has his right leg replaced with a prosthetic, McHammer has a prosthetic right arm, and Steele has his eye replaced with a monocle.

Maybe this is just a little something special LEGO thinks will add to the monster fighting theme, but I don't think they've ever included prosthetics before. It seems interesting to me, as I'm noticing more and more that companies are dropping in disabled characters, perhaps in an attempt to nullify us to the sight of such things. Personally, I'm not bothered by this, I actually think it's a good idea, as I had an experience with a small child being scared of me while I was wearing a cast. No, I don't normally have disabilities, and I'm glad.

So what do you think of this?

I like it, it goes with the theme. Thats not the first time, in the Agents theme a few of the bad guys had mechanical arms .

I second what Bryce said.

Saw this a while ago, and you know the first thought I had? Finally, LEGO have brought out another original theme. -.-
