Just a quick question: how do I know if I'm approved? I want to enter a contest but I don't know if I can. Thanks in advance.

You can look on the first post of the
Character Introduction Challenge Thread. You are approved.

The voting thread for the
First Global Challenge is now up and can be found
HERE.
Please be sure to support the project by voting. While I'm sure Brother Steven would appreciate your votes, I'd ask that you choose objectively and select the entry that you feel most deserves to win. Thanks

@konze Thanks. I can enter.

Brother Steven's build is really good. I've got a ways to go. I voted for him but that was before I knew that he was in Garheim.

I finally remembered to take a picture. This is not a very heroic deed but it is a very helpful one so I am really proud of it. Piotrek is helping a traveling musician get to town.

Here is my entry for the local challenge!
EDIT: Megablocks....I just realize i completely forgot to add the Garheim standard to the moc...Should i re-shoot the moc with it?
Forgetting deadlines, forgetting banners... I'm having a hard time trying to follow the rules

As long as this is getting brought up, why are we even required to include a standard in all of our LCC mocs anyway? There seem to be quite a few builds that they really don't fit in.

The idea behind that is that it clearly identifies the build as belonging to Garheim. As long as you can work in the faction colors somehow, I think that is ok, but I really like to see a dark blue flag at least. If you need to build it into the base, that's OK too.
Does that make sense? If we reach a consensus that we don't want to require it, we can change the rules in the future. We were just trying to help build faction identity.

While I agree that there is not always a logical place to include it in the MOC, the rule of having it in the base removes that problem the majority of the time. I think that including the standard especially as we move farther into LCC and there will be characters traveling to other lands (if nothing else the Hero and Merchant Build requirements) it is nice to know that this a Garhiem MOC.
My opinion is to keep the rule in place, but I will be flexible with the majority.

Yeah, I think it makes sense to be able to include it into the base. I have already done this in a couple builds, though in those I have included a standard too. I totally see what you are saying with building a faction identity. Thanks for the replies.
