LUG "Kockice", Croatia

[dudek]

Hi, all. It's dudek again, representing Croatia's LUG "Kockice". 
This theme will be used for communicating between our LUGs and of course all other forum users. Here we'll be announcing competitions, events, exhibits and everything that is organized by LUG "Kockice".
Hope this will be "a place to be" on this forum. 
Stay tuned for more info.

Dear members of nearby LUGs, it is our pleasure to invite you to join a building contest we organized especially for you. The goal of this contest is meeting other builders from our neighborhood, making better and stronger relations and forming new friendships. Also, we hope to encourage non-LUG builders to join a LUG from their country. We are looking forward to seeing what you have built. 
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi dudek, a couple of questions:


1. What is the deadline for applying as a contestant?
2. When are the themes going to be shuffled i.e. when are the contestants going to know what they should be working on?

[dudek]

@Sammael:

1. "Deadline" is 23:59:59 on December 31st, 2014..
2. They are alerady shuffled, you just have to send an email to klub.kockice@gmail.com with your name, the name of your LUG and pick a number between 1 and 10. Then you'll receive a mail with your theme.

[dudek]

Hi everybody!
Due to holiday and family arrangements, that most of people are bound to  , we decided to prolongue the "deadline" for BRICKSTORY.
New deadline is:

January 14th 23:59:59, 2015.

One week left for entering the competition... It's still not too late! 

[Dardanel]

Hello : ) Do I have to be an official member of Skockani, or is being a forum member here enough?

[dudek]

@Dardanel - Hi Dardanel! It's only for LUG members of Skockani. But you still have time to become a member of Skockani and enter the competition. 
Being a LUG member gives you more potential and more posibilities than just being a forum member. I hope you will apply for the membership and enter the competition.
Best of luck!

As I've understood it you only become a member after a trial period - which lasts for at least a year. Is it enough then if I'm a trial member?

[Acidum]

...

As I've understood it you only become a member after a trial period - which lasts for at least a year...

I have to intervene here:
- There are several "levels" of being a member of LUG Skockani. First level is "Pridruženi član", and although it is usualy reffered to as a "trial member" it is actually more like "Associate member". It gives You almost all of the benefits of being a LUG member (among others - participating in LUG events and competitions), but it lacks most of the "governing" benefits. Associate members can maintain their status indefinetly, but have the opportunity to advance to next level after one-year-trial period...

Da ne duljimo više na engleskom, svi se razumemo  (tj. bar je meni sad lakse da ovo napišem na "zajedničkom" jeziku )

Dardanel, pošalji zahtev da želiš da budeš član Skockanih na email  info@skockani.com , i dobićeš izgled uplatnice. Uplatiš sutra 750 dinara i postaješ ubrzo pridruženi član Skockanih.

E sad, ne znam da li ćeš imati dovoljno vremena do 15. da završiš moc i da li Kockice dozvoljavaju i pridruženim članovima da učestvuju (mada, mislim da dozvoljavaju). Na ovo poslednje nek odgovori dudek. 

[Sammael]

Član je član, nema veze da li je pridruženi ili redovan. I Kockice imaju (ili su imale) više nivoa članstva, pa bi verovatno bilo naglašeno. 

[dudek]

Dardanel - if you are a member of Skockani, associated or regular, you can submit your creation at the competition. As Sammael mentioned, a LUG member is a LUG member, no matter on the level of membership.

Pa i po naškom onda... 

Dardanel - ako postaneš članom Skockanih; na početku pridruženi, a sa vremenom možda i redovan  ; možeš sudjelovati u natjecanju. Kao što je i Sammael spomenuo, svejedno je koja je vrsta tvog članstva. Član Klub je član Kluba 

[dudek]

And... The entries are over!
Thanks to everyone that accepted the challenge and entered our first international competition.
Now we're in the process of looking over all the entries and voting.
So stay tuned!
 

[dudek]

At last, the results! :LEGO04:
Here's the list of all entries with the points they received from our three judges.

Evo rezultata!
Ispod je tablica sa svim kreacijama i bodovima za svaku.


(Entries 14 and 3 had the same number of points, but 2/3 judges gave more points to entry no. 14 so this is why it ended up on 3rd place, one place higher than entry no. 3)
(Radovi 14 i 3 su imali isti broj bodova, no 2 od 3 suca su kreaciji 14 dali veće ocjene nego kreaciji 3, tako da je kreacija 14 rangirana više na tablici i na trećem je mjestu)

And here are the five winners! Congratulations, guys! 

A ovo je pet dobitnika! Čestitamo, dečki!
