I have been working on three GC XI entries along with my character introduction and had planned to post all of them yesterday, because I needed all the time to finish the GC builds. I got them finished and posted on my Flickr account in time and I also signed up for Merlins-Beard. However, I didn't realize that you have to wait for account confirmation before you can post in Merlins-Beard. Since I only got the confirmation today, these GC XI entries are now late. I would like to ask that these entries be allowed to count, because I didn't know about the delay involved in signing up for Merlins-Beard, but if not, that's fine. GC XI - Restricted - Secrecy - 32x32 Sylvan Subterfuge - GC XI by kingdomviewbricks, on Flickr GC XI - Unrestricted - Steal - 48x48 Riverine Robbery - GC XI by kingdomviewbricks, on Flickr GC XI - Bignette - Sabotage - 16x16 Subterranean Sabotage - GC IX by kingdomviewbricks, on Flickr Stories and a couple additional photos on Flickr. Critique and advice welcome.

Kingdomviewbricks - These are some seriously amazing entries! However, I feel I must extend the burden of the fact that they are late to be considered for the GC and should not count to your factions global score. Now...although that may sound mean, I do believe you deserve the personal score points for these and should be granted those as you made an extensive effort and provided quality beyond measure. As such, I would encourage my fellow KC members and members in general to agree with this ruling as you did a fantastic job. Unfortunately I must remind my fellow members that we did extend the GC to October 4th and as per the past we must adhere that the deadline is a firm one.

Thanks,
I understand completely and can see that it would be unfair to the members that did get their entries in on time to count those points. I am new here and didn't know the precedent or rules about such requests so I thought I might as well ask. If the personal points are counted that would be great, but however it is decided is fine with me. I had fun building, and that's the main thing. Thanks for answering my question.

I'm no longer a member of the KC, but being that they were posted to Flickr on time and the only hold-up was getting his MB registration approved, I would vote to allow these as GC entries.

I would just like to remind nightstalker. That he should post his Bignette entry (posted to the garheim forum on the 13th of sep) In this thread.

I think that having the pictures up on time should be sufficient for full credit in the GC.
Even though it's for Lenfald...

Democracy!? we could make a small vote. I am most definately in favor of. The posts were online so it's proven it was not slacking or otherwise funny business. Although I do understand the ruling, he obviously knew before that there was a deadline. Nobody builds these amazing pieces in 1 day.

Good point Schreeuwwitje. I should also remind everyone the original due date was September 27th. In the past we only offered a few days for an extension of GC's. This time we offered a full week.

Matt makes a good case; the deadline was already extended. I can understand wanting more points for your faction and I can understand wanting to allow entries that took time, effort, and fun to count despite being past the due date, but even if this were one of my fellow Garhims, I would have to vote against allowing them to count. I'm not trying to sound mean and I definitely think that they should count as points towards his personal score, but rules are rules - especially when they have already been bent. Just my two (unpopular) cents.

Well, the only reson he was late was because of the forum. He had the builds themselves up, and they would have been up if his account had been approved. I'd say it should be approved. But of course it's up to the KC.

KVB, welcome to the best faction! Yes you will get your Personal Points as I am the FO and Hath Proclaimed It Thus. BrickMadness will send you a Personal Message (PM) with some advice and the password to our Private Discussion Thread. And great builds by the way! mattiusxavier I would like to take the discussion on whether Lenfald gets credit for the builds or not to the KC discussion thread. I don't have time to make my points tonight (the family wanted to play Dominion: Dark Ages and they won the melee on that...) but I will tomorrow night after work.

@sir Caelan Munro - Good. I like many others think he deserves the points.

Aren't we supposed to vote for the best of the factions' finalists? Is this happening somewhere and I am missing it?
Does the KC plan a GC parallel to the CCC like last year?
Cheers Adam

I'm going to go with one simple answer to that Adam my friend "BACON" now with maple sugar. As for the GC, yes, we are working on that and would like to pair it with CCC to maximize entries. As for the voting it should be up very soon.
