So Lego Ideas is hosting a new contest basically designed especially for us brikwarriors:

https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0 ... 3298b75ef9

Showcase a sweet lego battle, win tickets to Billund or lego sets & cash

no blood allowed tho

[Cracjaw]

How in the world are you supposed to make a battle, if you aren't allowed to have any violence, blood, or death?

[Natalya]

I like how the contest banner is a ripoff of the BrikWars painting.

• Politics and political symbols, campaigns, or movements 
• Religious references including symbols, buildings, or people 
• Sex, nudity, drugs, or smoking 
• Alcohol in any present-day situation 
• Swearing or profanity 
• Death, killing, blood, terrorism, horror, or torture

• Racism, bullying, or cruelty to real life animals

Never fucking mind, I'm out. Besides, "LEGO® Legacy: Heroes Unboxed" is just another crappy app game with a focus on setting children into a hostile mentality against each other so they'll spend their parents' cash on trying to 'win'. Story mode stops being fun the moment you hit the paywall, the limited amount of waifigs barely made it worth the try.

I don't understand how you are supposed to build a battle scene, without any blood, death, violence, or depictions of warfare. Have they ever seen a battle in anything. A battle is violent by it's own nature!!

I'll take "What the fuck is Overwatch about then?" for $100, Alex.

lol, I feel you Food_Truk, I submitted a DSM and a Yellow Supremacist battle, if Lego doesn't like it, to bad

[Food_Truk]

Something in my mind just accepted the idea of owning non-LEGO brand bricks at this point.

It doesn't matter. Non'a dis matters.

My response to both the bullshit contest rules AND the thought of owning non-Lego bricks:

lol

[TheThing]

LEGO? be hypocrites about their own brand value? in front of my salad? it's more likely than you think!

fuck, this same shit came up when they took up Star Wars as a franchise, LEGO would do well to stick to their brand values rather than promote this. As brikwars shows it's hardly like people need encouragement, and half the fun of brikwars is that juxtaposition, it's less fun if LEGO start rolling out warfare sets.

[Natalya]

Yeah but LEGO war sets will never have that zany quality that BW has.

[Brikguy0410]

Ok, so not allowing violence or blood is pretty cringe, but I’m more interested in WTF a billund is, why I should consider going their desirable, and why I’m being offered a vacation package in the middle of a global pandemic.

[Tzan]

A billund is what aliens call a feeding trough.
Its what they put humans in.

[Natalya]

I thought it was a fancy word for "murder icecream truck" but I could be wrong.
