EDIT: HEY LEGO MESSAGE BOARD MODERATION TEAM, ELIMBIER IS ONE OF MINE. IT'S NOT PLAGIARISM, OKAY?

 

A few years ago, I tasked myself with a writing exercise to expand on the LEGO Universe origin story, told in a dramatic and engaging narrative. It was exceedingly dark with embellished descriptions and edgy dialog. Up to now it hasn’t been published… I’d personally like to keep it that way. Excessive purple prose, said bookisms, and unrealistic diction are just a few of its infractions against the literary hobby.

 

Thus, I buried it and eventually exhumed it a year or so later, incinerated the corpse, and built something completely different atop its remains. Hopefully this one is comically serviceable.

 

I’m also planning to post this incrementally on the Elimbies, just to see what extent of scatological subterfuge the moderators will tolerate. I may share my results in a blog afterward.

 

Feedback is appreciated, provided that it only reinforces my narcissistic outlook. Criticism, constructive or otherwise, will be overlooked in favor of glowing reviews by the mindless masses.

 

New chapters will be published every Friday, and the accompanying vignettes will be posted in a separate topic in the LEGO Creations forum.

In a sense, I am already publishing it; right here, incrementally. I may propagate it on other forums, specifically the Elimbies, but I have no intentions of compiling it into a book if that's what you're asking.

Well done. These are hilarious in an actually amusing way, unlike the Terraria Steam discussions.

 

 

Keep it up!

As a rule, I wouldn't touch the Elimbies even with a 32-length axle; my presence there has been, up to now, almost exclusively observational. I submitted my Elimbies paper a while back, but it was evidently too offensive for my unsuspecting audience. Even now, I am maneuvering myself so that they will welcome me as one of their own.

Soon I shall be embraced by my prey, endear myself to the natives, and wait...

Well I finally got to read it since it became unavailable for reading earlier, buuuut: "last edited 30m ago by LEGOModerationTeam", so I don't know if I missed anything.

I applaud your strategic maneuvers with the Likes Given...

 

 

 

Also, is there any real reason only half of Chapter 1 is up? Character limit?

Sorry, I do not know who you're refering to.  Obviously I wrote this story, and I already talked to the moderators about this. We're cool now. How did you like my story, though? I hope you enjoyed it!

Chapter 6 is up, and so is the image that was to accompany chapter 5. 

 

Anyway, here's a quick recap for those of you trying to figure out what the blok is going on these past couple days.

 

I recently began my infiltration of the Elimbies, but some particularly dense asterisk didn't get the joke and summoned the wrath of the moderation team upon my topic there. Elimbier's former signature stated that he was eleven years old.

And somehow he interpreted this response...

Expand  

...as evidence that Elimbier was a completely different person from me. The notion of creating a fictitious persona in the interest of comedy must be completely foreign to him. And don't even bring up the "lying" allegation, because it's so obviously said with tongue in cheek and we all know people claiming to be Time Lords and whatnot in their signature but nobody gives a fuss about them.

Expand  

 My topic was thus reported and the moderation team retroactively rejected my topic on grounds of plagiarizing this very topic here on RRU, despite the fact that I expressed intentions to propagate this on the "Elimbies" in the foreword, never mind asking of them to scroll down for context. In their mild defense, they aren't familiar with the rich history of that term on this site, but surely they would be cognizant enough to correlate Elimbies with Elimbier, an account that has been in position now for well over a year. I submitted this appeal in the form of a topic bound for rejection. Oh, and it was entitled "An Appeal for Sanity".

Sorry talented writer Elimbier :)

I'm leaving up that edit at the beginning of this topic as an artifact of this encounter, and because I find it outright hilarious. In a surprising act of lucidity on part of moderation, the topic was reinstated, but shamefully this follow-up message submitted prior to the topic's rejection wasn't.

Well played, mods.

The culprit, inexplicably, was still completely lost at this point. Instead of drawing the logical conclusion he soon points out that Elimbier's signature indicates that he's twelve now.

By the way, it's Elimbier, with a limb. Typical Elimbier, making such spelling errors. Also, nothing was merged, it's just a restoration of what he had them take down.

Then he wrote up this gem on his LEGO account. 

He rhymes with bricks

This naturally escalated into a masterful prank, beautifully cataloged in the posts above and scattered across the RRU chatroom.

Denial

Note the beautiful title. To which he replied...

Underlined for your convenience. Jellyfish ensued, and the truth has been elucidated to the Hero of Origami. Chromey, either you are a brilliant troll or just stupefyingly gullible.

 

 

Wow, that went a lot longer than I anticipated. TL;DR...

Yeah, he's totally pissed over the whole ordeal. Also, according to our edifying chatroom conversations, I'm apparently the devil now, and Nog is the Queen of America.

 

I regret nothing. God save the queen!

"Too Long; Drome Racers". Hovertext is fun.

 

Sorry you had to undergo such a stressful posting experience. I mean, I have to say, I also feel a little sorry to see Chrome's unmasterful social interaction backfire into a manuscript-length post mocking his cluelessness, simply out of personal experience, but... uh... I guess sympathy for both sides then? Dunno.
