Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 done son didn't even vote for my own..do'****
@rtisan Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 They`re all creative, but there are definitely some stand-outs. You guys/gals are a riot
TheOrcKing Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 done son didn't even vote for my own..do'hReal smooth, ex-lax. Anyway I hope people are staying within the "four vote limit" rule. I suppose I can let voting less than that slide this once but please do not go over the limit otherwise your votes will not be counted towards the final tally.
Mos_Eisley Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 It's not my thing, but I think requiring a minimum numbers of votes is strange. 4 being the maximum implies that anything up to that number is acceptable ;)
leenoack83 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 2nd place so far. Not bad. Although I may have committed a tactical error in voting for the entry that's beating me. D'oh! Fair play though, Old Ironstuds is a pretty sweet name.
MartinP Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 There are a lot of creative names in this contest. Looks like I'm in 4th place. Not too bad! Old Ironstuds is probably the most creative ship name in the list. There is still six days of voting left, so anything can happen.
redghostx Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I would like to vote but I don't want to "have" to vote for 4 names if I don't like 4 names, is this negotiable?
scuttfarkas Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Devil's Bane Old Ironstuds The Sea Blade Rising Tide Like Rising Tide the best; but Ironstuds is the most clever. Rising Tide just sounds ominous. If Guardian of the Realm was something other than "Guardian"...would have had that...but seeing as I don't think a pirate ship would ever guard the realm.. couldn't put that one in.
hobbycrafter Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Darn, that one is clever. Fingers crossed that non-US voters will balance out the vote away from Ironstuds... Also, didn't someone post that their submission was "The Brick Bounty" just to bug TheOrcKing?
Pseudoty Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Sour grapes, but the USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides" started as a pirate ship hunter before it kicked butt in the war of 1812.
TheOrcKing Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Also, didn't someone post that their submission was "The Brick Bounty" just to bug TheOrcKing? Yes, a couple did exactly that just to 'shiver my timbers'. Haha. Sour grapes, but the USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides" started as a pirate ship hunter before it kicked butt in the war of 1812.True the name would seem to be a better fit for an Imperial Armada naval vessel but you have to admit it is a clever pun. It's not my thing, but I think requiring a minimum numbers of votes is strange. 4 being the maximum implies that anything up to that number is acceptable Having the maximum and minimum requisite the same hasn't been done often I know but like the contest itself, I was just trying something a tad different than everyone else. I'm more used to similar things asking a person to make a certain number of choices between everything given as on option. I would like to vote but I don't want to "have" to vote for 4 names if I don't like 4 names, is this negotiable? If out of a complete list with 20 entries you can only find one that you like then by all means just vote for that.
Mos_Eisley Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Lol, why is anyone worrying about the names so much? This is a silly "name a fake LEGO ship" contest, not a historically accurate research project. If you like a name, vote for it. It doesn't seem like there should be lobbying for or against certain choices regardless of your thoughts on it. 2
biniou Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Darn, that one is clever. Fingers crossed that non-US voters will balance out the vote away from Ironstuds... I have to admit that I don't understand the play on words with "old ironstuds".
Migration Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I have to admit that I don't understand the play on words with "old ironstuds". The USS Constitution is nicknamed "Old Ironsides". During a battle with British warship in the War of 1812 canon balls bounced of her hull like she was made of iron.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Constitution 1
biniou Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks ! (I didn't knew anything about the USS constitution... )
Migration Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 She is an amazing ship, oldest still commissioned naval vessel in the world.
vincevaughn Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 She is an amazing ship, oldest still commissioned naval vessel in the world. I thought that honor belonged to the HMS Victory which was Admiral Nelson's flagship?
Migration Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I thought that honor belonged to the HMS Victory which was Admiral Nelson's flagship?Forgot to specify "afloat".

Noodlenut Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Nearing the end.... More people must vote (for me) if I expect to win.
MartinP Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Nearing the end.... More people must vote (for me) if I expect to win. I don't expect to win, but there were a lot of creative names in this contest.
leenoack83 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I think I'm pretty much out of it. I'm only 7 votes back, in 5th place, but I can't see myself making up the ground.
MartinP Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 I think I'm pretty much out of it. I'm only 7 votes back, in 5th place, but I can't see myself making up the ground. You never know. You could get very close to winning. There is still two days left for voting and anything can happen in those two days.
