Why are people arguing about trying to force the "right" way to enjoy Lego? The "point" of Lego is to enjoy it in whatever way appeals to you, whether that's collecting unopened MISB boxes to sit on a shelf or launching bricks out of a cannon at your neighbors or setting piles of it on fire in front of hardcore AFOLs and watching them cry.

Yes Vami, some of us here were actually old enough to remember the time before Lego Digital Designer...

all hail conformism and unoriginality.

I don't think anyone's arguing the ethics or rules of enjoying lego. the underlying point here is that posting dozens of pictures of unmodified sets as "factions" is lame for the armory section.

I can't lecture too much about that though

Uh, I haven't been posting them as "Factions"; All the pictures here are Briktoid Automata units, while the only other thing was the Pseudo-Arachnid Empire teaser in the Peach thread...

And quit with this "Anti-stock" bullshit.
Half the Armies here have troops made with Star Wars bits, be it Clone, Storm, or Mandalorian Trooper Torsos...
Far fewer still can claim not to use either City or Space uniforms, mister "I put black arms on Ice Planet 2002 torsos."

I don't know what it is, but every time you type in the giant purple text it's the same effect as Whiteagle typing in all caps. You could be saying something like "I think BrikWars is pretty great, and doughnuts are also nice" and I would still automatically think you were wrong and also an asshole just because of the size tag.

Before this thread, I could sort of think of you and Whiteagle as two different guys, or at least the same guy under two different medications or something. But the longer this drags on, the more you become the same person in my mind.

THE BEAUTY OF BRIKWARS IS THAT EVERYBODY CAN PLAY IT THEIR OWN WAY WITH THEIR FACTIONS HOWEVER THEY LIKE THEM. LET'S ALL JUST LEAVE EVERYONE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT, BE IT STOCKIST BUILDING OR HARDCORE ORIGINAL BUILDING OR DONKEY MOLESTING. WHITEAGLE MANAGED TO MAKE AN ORIGINAL ROCKET RACK SO ATLEAST THERE IS A MINOR ORIGINALITY EFFORT ON HIS PART. WE'RE ALL JUST MAKING OURSELVES LOOK STUPID BY ARGUING EQUALLY BIGOTED POINTS WHICH REALLY DON'T MATTER SO LONG AS WE CAN GET LEGO SHIT BLOWN UP WITH OUR STUFF.

Did I do it big enough?

When I read it in the RSS feed it was just all caps, which didn't trigger the hate response, just like "how about that ikensall, he's a smart guy who makes good points."

Then I came to read it on the site and it was in a bigger font and a slightly different color and it started to trigger the Vami response, just a tiny bit. I guess years of forum idiocy has conditioned me with a kind of Pavlovian response. Like I still grudgingly agree with the points themselves, but I don't want to be on the same side as you, and I have just the tiniest urge start a bar fight.
