Happy new year! Or, more to the point, happy not that janky old year anymore. We’re all glad that 2020 is finally in our hindsight as the prophecy foretold.

As Zupponn noted a few posts ago, the newsfeed’s been pretty quiet, with none of the usual forum highlight posts since the big Ragnablok blowout extravaganza. The apps we were using to organize the forum highlights stopped working towards the end of 2019, forcing us to muscle our way through with hacked-together spreadsheets through the end of the year, but since then we’ve been focused on other things.

Which isn’t to say the forums have been quiet! Forum battles and story vignettes are still going strong, and highlight photos are still posted to the Pinterest board every week.

Builds, art, community, and general conversation, on the other hand, have moved almost entirely to the BrikWars Discord. The link to the Discord has been hidden away at the bottom of the BrikWars front page for a few years now, but it’s probably time to bring it up top now that it’s replaced the forums as the central meetup location for the community.

In the meantime, here’s a selection of highlights from the forums in 2020!

Halloween Hellhunt 2020 has ended and we have a new Lord of Battle! Congratulations to Food_Truk, who’s battle Brik or Treat Battle Royale topped all of the contenders. 2020 has been quite a year, so we’re glad to have been able to continue this sacred Brikwar tradition and help break up the monotony of staying home all the time. Thanks to everyone who participated this year. Be on the watch though, because before we know it Halloween Hellhunt 2021 will be just around the corner!

The 11th Annual Halloween Hellhunt Overview Thread

Brik or Treat Battle Royale , by Food_Truk

Once again October is upon us and I have returned to raise the front page back from the dead! (seriously Mike, 9 months?) We are now at the 11th (Can you believe it? 11!) iteration of our beloved contest and this year we will be celebrating the spookiest of holidays with our theme of The Moon. This year’s Halloween will feature a full, blue moon and we would like to commemorate this special occurrence by featuring moons in our forum battles. Remember, battle submissions are always open to anyone and everyone, so make sure to get out there and create some Brikwars chaos!

Reports From the Field: [HH19] BATTLE OF THE KONVERGENCE, by ninja_bait

The Battle of the Konvergence has reached its ultimate end, locking Blue Guy in eternal combat with the Four Horsemen of Ragnablok in the Kanon Ball singularity and driving a stake in the Nehellennium timeline. Minifigs are free once again to move about the universe and adhere to whatever level of kontinuity they wish.
