Colossal Castle Contest 12

Also, some My entries were on the naughty list, and I re-submitted them all with the corrections. But only some of them showed up on the view entries page. I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong or what.

I'm not a mod of course, but I think the naughty list hasn't been updated since the 22 (and thus neither has the submitted entry's list) , so any entry's you submitted or resubmitted won't show up till they update both the entry list and the naughty list which I think they do at the same time.

No, since I've resubmitted them all, an update has come, and some of the ones that were on the naughty list are there, but the rest aren't
For instance I re submitted Ambush in the Garden and then Maktig Krigare, but only the latter has shown up.

How far does "cleaning up" a picture go - in other words, can I submit a picture with a background that has been edited in (but without changing any of the physical bricks, other than a routine adjustment as to brightness/contrast & getting rid of some of the superfluous blue tint which I find pervades all my pictures)?
At the same time of course I would include one picture with a plain background as required.

Can I edit a pic on photoshop to remove the support for a flying island or a flying device to make it look like floating?

No. Photoshopping can not be used to alter the build.

This is fine.

It will be looked into and addressed, but please remember there was a Holiday. Even if the December 31st deadline passes, we will work with the people on the naughty list.

Did you miss my post?

"I had a question a while back (It was; for Vehicle VS Vehicle can there be multiple Vehicles?) and was answered:
"The admins will discuss multiple vehicles and get back to you."
SO... have they discussed it yet? Is there an answer? Because I had an idea that would involve multiple vehicles ."

So, is a siege ladder a siege engine?

[BingoLittle]

Is an acceptable photo with a white background one where the white background is photoshopped in?

Hello admins,

This is a very delayed question, one I've been meaning to ask, but I have yet too.

Am I allowed to submit a collaboration between me and a friend for the CCC?

[josdu]

I know this is probably not allowed, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to check:
Can one build be made to fit two categories (and entered into each of course) ?

[Bruce N H]

Would I be allowed to use a blue background with clouds and a sun on it to represent a natural sky?

50 Sure, though relatively neutral backgrounds are best as they make it easier to see the MOC.

And also, could I use rubber bands for rope? My chains seem to have gone missing.

51 We always allow non-LEGO string, so I suppose non-LEGO rubber bands are also okay.

for Vehicle VS Vehicle can there be multiple Vehicles?.

52 - Sure. That is fine.

2 questions: in the Castle Siege category, does a siege ladder count as a siege engine? Also, some My entries were on the naughty list, and I re-submitted them all with the corrections. But only some of them showed up on the view entries page. I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong or what.

53 Yes, a siege ladder counts.

Also, just a general statement - I'm up to date as of this afternoon on the naughty list. Thank you for your patience.

Is an acceptable photo with a white background one where the white background is photoshopped in?

54 - Yes, that is fine. As Blue noted above in her post, editing in Photoshop to clean up background is fine. Editing to actually change the MOC is not fine.

Hello admins,
Am I allowed to submit a collaboration between me and a friend for the CCC?

55 - Yes, but if you win you have to decide how to share the prize. Also, collaborative MOCs could not count towards the Master Builder score.

I know this is probably not allowed, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to check:
Can one build be made to fit two categories (and entered into each of course) ?

56 - No, you should choose the category you think is the best fit for your MOC.

Hello
I just noticed you can add five pictures to your entry instead of the three in past years. I was wondering could I add two more pictures two my Flickr gallery for my entry?

I was wondering about the fairytale category.

I want to build a house in a tree with maybe a few elves baking cookies, though I can't find any story that have a tree trunk house in it. Is it okay if I build that as a generic fairytale like piece even though there is no story to accompany it? I think everyone will agree tree trunk houses are very fairytale like.

Thanks!

Unless you can find an actual fairy tale with that in it, this build would go into miscellaneous.

I have a question: Would _______* count as a Vehicle for the Vehicle V.S Ditto category? *Fill in the blank with, Sedan Chair? Dragon with a rider (standing in a box maybe) ? Thanks!
