The Infamous Steve

First to 25 Critic Challenge Winner
The Infamous Steve

WINNER of the “First to 25” Critic Challenge is…

An Infamous Steve Contest participant has completed the Round #1 First to 25 Creative Critic Objective!

They’ve triumphed over the competition to succeed as the first Creative Critic to write 25 Critic Replies to Building Entry Topics.

So let’s give a round of applause to…


Horation!

Horation was a latecomer to the First to 25 Challenges, assuming the mantle an entire 2 weeks after the Challenges had commenced.

Most of his rival Creative Critics demonstrated a high degree of complacency, enabling Horation to easily close the distance and overtake them in less than a day.

First to 25 Challenges Progress Report: July 2

A snapshot of Creative Critics progress around the time Horation claimed victory

Math Wizard, was a strong contender for First Place, with 22 Replies at the time of Horation’s arrival.

However, an unexpected Internet outage delayed the submission of the Wizard’s final three Replies, costing him the Prize!

Steve participating in the First to 25 Critic Challenge

Steve knows complacency costs you Prizes!

The moral of this story:

Go above and beyond to craft your Replies. Reply to ALL the Building Entry Topics and ask Building Entrants about their creations to ensure the conversation continues… giving you further opportunities to Reply.

But most importantly, DO NOT hesitate! Or someone will beat you to the Prizes!


The Prizes

Horation, who is based in Canada, was awarded a 35€ LEGO Prize, which at the time of award, was equivalent to $51 Canadian dollars.

Photography Credit

Not everyone be an aspiring photographer nor has time for photography to acquire the perfect sigfig photo (forum avatar image).

So a busy Creative Critic like Horation took a shortcut and borrowed a photo taken by photographin_lego.

So we’d like to thank photographin_lego for this beautiful imagery and recommend you follow this talented photographer on Instagram.

That said, we prefer members of the LEGO Pirates Forum to provide their own photography for their sigfigs.
