Gathering Storm

Actually, while I love Lego, I also like K'nex for just building structures. I remember building the "Big Ball Factory" when I was about 10; the builing was taller than I was Loved it.

If you're fortunate enough to have an actual Lego Store near you you can buy them by the pound, but as you say, they are a wee bit pricey. That 1000 pieces works out to $.25 each. Not happenin. Maybe I'll find a bucket of used ones at the swap meet this year.


Construx were the best. Too bad you can't find em anymore.

I built me plenty a GI Joe base with those. My older brother and I also used to build swords out of em and whack each other. They were that tough. And hurt...

Oh man, I loved Construx. I still have a giant stash of them stored away (with the Legos, of course!). And yes, they did make awesome bases and crazy vehicles for GI Joes. Especially if you could find the camo pieces

GS AGAIN?

I'm an old dog. I don't do new tricks.

Hopefully Krill will be around a bit later to let you in.

Actually, Locutus, I have a question; as you are an admin to this forum, I take it that you are able to view all of the private fora, no? If so, would it be possible for you to remove the admin/moderator status to this set of fora (the public and private BtSDG fora) or not?

[Locutus]

The admin/moderator status of who/what? You mean me?

I can fine-tune exactly who has access to which forums, including for myself. As with previous team DGs I've been in, once I've set up a new private team forum and I'm satisfied all is working fine, I disable my own access to that forum. E.g. I posted a few times in the RoC forum yesterday to respond to some administrative issues, but right now I no longer have access to it. Unless people start setting off proverbial nukes I'll rely on other staff members and Keygen to keep an eye on the other team forums and deal with any issues that may arise.

Of course, everyone will just have to take my word for it that I'm playing fair, but if you don't trust the owners/admins of the site you're running a DG on you're gonna have a hard time running any kind of game

(Of course, you could ask Solver or Dan to double-check on me but I can probably run circles around them as far as hacking goes so I'm not sure how valuable that is )

Thanks for the reply. I'm just making sure that nothing... untoward can happen that lands GS or yourself in troubled waters.

I haven't paid attention to this after I joined. It has to do with some other activities.

There are two teams I have in mind, this one and Beta's. My guess is that Beta's will be pretty much like Sarantium now. While I generally like the athmosphere in Sarantium, I'm thinking about going for something new now. Only I'm not sure yet.

Any idea of what this team is going to be like?

When Beta announces our team concept, you want to join us.
