The only thing I want is to see you build without reservations and inhibitions. Build like mad. It's what the "Maniac" would've wanted. May god rest his manic-depressive soul.

Could you give me an example of a Pic with Caption? I'm not really all up to date. Or could anyone else? Thanks,

I've been thinking about starting a comic series. This would be the perfect way to start out, though my idea involved at least one crown knight.

I'm all sorts of game!
Plus I have 0 Crown Knights so that's all cool.

I would love to, but as I have recently exited my Dark Age I have a great Variety of Crownies and it's not fair to newer collectors that I can't use my Crownie Collection.
The Crownies are a great throwback in the style of Classic-Castle and I'm not sure why you would not allow them to be used, but you would allow Jelly-Beans...

Hmm, I've thought much about a comic type thing, but never actually did it.
Question:
Are Crown knight parts allowed, like a silver helm on a fig with a Lion Knight torso?

I'm not criticizing the rules guidelines categories or prizes. The objective is also not exclude people and make them feel inferiour, and seeing as how I have a large collection of Crownies but little else, I am excluded from this otherwise excellent contest.Aliencat wrote:As seen in the Common Sense for Contests, in the Admins' Announcements:LordZode wrote:I'm not sure why you would not allow them to be used, but you would allow Jelly-Beans...

I miss the maniac...and I hated when they stopped using real LEGO to make the comics.

There's no need to feel inferior due to your part selection Lord Zode, and I certainly had no intention of that by organizing this contest.
So to answer Dr. J's question and hopefully relieve some of Lord Zode's discouragement, Crownie pieces are completely legitimate when used in this contest. Constructed Crown Knights and images representing their Heraldry are not, so yeah crown shields are out, Torso's could slip by if used on another type of fig.
I'd love to see you compete too Lord Zode, don't feel limited by what you have, the only limitation is your imagination, just re-work some of your guys, surely if you have Crownies you must have a couple of Skellies too right? Why not mix-and match some of those elements to create a new mini-faction?
To answer Black Ranger's question, a caption to an image is a short description that appears below the image. Most captions are a few words mentioning something important about the image that is not obvious simply by looking at the image, such as its relevance to the text. For complex images or images whose relationship to the text is unclear, the caption can be one or two short sentences, rarely three.
Your "Captions" can be added directly to the picture itself using photo-editing software or typed beneath the images in your entry or listed separately, if you should so desire.
And while I'm on that note anyway, yes Photoshopped entries ARE allowed, LDraw entries are not.

This is a good idea Lord Doom. I WILL (and when I say I will, I'm not lying) participate in this contest.
