LBPcentral.com pin and more!
Archive: 46 posts
| Hello, sacknation. I found in the web information about new exclusive in-game pins, that will be added with Move pack - it will be special pins for big LBP fun sites. I found information about littlebigland (http://www.littlebigland.com/introducing-community-pins/), littlebignetwork (http://www.littlebignetwork.com/showthread.php/11050-Exclusive-LBN-Secret-Pin-!!!!?p=205513#post205513) and littlebigplanetarium (http://www.littlebigplanetarium.com/topic/1354-planetarium-crown-contest-1-winners/) pins and also about nice Contraption Challenge Pin (http://rocketcheetah.com/2011/08/announcing-the-littlebigplanet-contraption-challenge-pin/): http://www.littlebigland.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/pinlbl.png http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a142/bcolehome/community_littlebignetwork.png http://i.imgur.com/3Upww.png http://rocketcheetah.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Contraption-Challenge-Pin-16x9-760x427.jpg There was information about lbpcentral.com pin too. But I didn't find any information about it on lbpcentral. Why? It is secret for now? Or I didn't search in the right way? Update: Thanks to ConfusedCartman, who showed us lbpcentral.com pin: http://i.imgur.com/rBCWM.png And one more question - how I can resize images in the post? Tag [IMG size=NN] don't work here. From Russia with love, Domick12. | 2011-08-11 09:03:00 Author: Domik12  Posts: 838 |
| YES! YES! YES! I love this idea. Im anxious to get the LBPC pin and wear it proudly. | 2011-08-11 11:05:00 Author: craigmond  Posts: 2426 |
| NICE! how will they be given, active members? | 2011-08-11 11:06:00 Author: dragonights  Posts: 209 |
Some people it's too anxious to brag about their stuff.  All this "I want to be first to put news on my site", "we're cooler", "look at us what we can give" is not healty for the community imho. Things will be announced at the right time.  | 2011-08-11 11:17:00 Author: OmegaSlayer  Posts: 5112 |
like the contest winners  JK JK!!! but i get it, and there will be plenty of noobs, who will just go site to site for pins. i want to use just this pin to show community spirit for this website, and the epic community | 2011-08-11 11:40:00 Author: dragonights Posts: 209 |
| ...I didn't find any information about it on lbpcentral. Why? I guess it seemed a little misleading to announce something that hasn't happened yet, and may never actually happen. And one more question - how I can resize images in the post? Tag [IMG size=NN] don't work here. I don't think you can do it with BBCode - you'll have to rescale the original image before you upload it. | 2011-08-11 15:00:00 Author: Aya042  Posts: 2870 |
| I guess it seemed a little misleading to announce something that hasn't happened yet, and may never actually happen. Exactly. With how finicky game development can be, I don't think it makes sense to announce anything until we can guarantee we'll be able to deliver. So we're holding off until it makes sense. But, yes, an LBPCentral pin does exist, and I hope it makes it in with the Move pack so we can start giving it out. | 2011-08-11 22:23:00 Author: ConfusedCartman  Posts: 3729 |
| The details on those pins are incredible much better than the "Slap a sticker to represent a pin". I'd love to wear a LBPC pin to show my spirit to the site, but as everyone says there migh be noobs bombarding the sites wanting to join for the sole purpose of a pin. Maybe you can have a requirment to earn the pin, like reach a certain reputation level or XP level, or even only limit this pin the the most well known members, mods/ admins etc. (though since most of the well known members are or have been mods/admins, it will almost feel like a copy of the "Master of the Internets" pin But its great to know its possible to add more pins | 2011-08-12 08:24:00 Author: JKthree  Posts: 1125 |
| as i've been reading on other sites, I don't think you'd get the pin just for being a member. I like that idea of a certain rep level or xp, maybe even after a certain number of post. At least 500 post to earn pin. My hopes would be that, if the pins do come out, that they would be attainable. I'd hate to see it come out only to see the requirements so outrageous that only a 5 or 6 of the two thousand active members could get it. Of course this is all dependent on the pin even coming out. I'd love to see what it'd look like. | 2011-08-12 17:27:00 Author: biorogue  Posts: 8424 |
| Oooh, contraption challenge pin... But I already have 3 rare pins displayed on mah profile, whatever am I to do? It's a hard life being me.... :/ | 2011-08-12 17:40:00 Author: rtm223  Posts: 6497 |
| But I already have 3 rare pins displayed on mah profile, whatever am I to do? Just swap out the "Egomaniac" pin, then. Edit: Actually, swap out the "Liar" pin. | 2011-08-12 17:54:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |
| thanks Aya, now we'll get a bunch of people asking how to get the Egomaniac and liar pins | 2011-08-12 19:13:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |

I just like to say that this was not the case. There was some discussion between the sites whether we should all announce it at the same time, but in the end the announcements just happened separately. | 2011-08-12 19:28:00 Author: Syroc Posts: 3193 |
| I just like to say that this was not the case. There was some discussion between the sites whether we should all announce it at the same time, but in the end the announcements just happened separately. I just think that the sites should collaborate more for the good sake of the community. Lately I've been seeing people dividing in factions and it's not cool at all. | 2011-08-13 09:40:00 Author: OmegaSlayer Posts: 5112 |
| Completely agree with you on that. | 2011-08-13 10:05:00 Author: Syroc Posts: 3193 |
| Lately I've been seeing people dividing in factions and it's not cool at all. But if we don't divide into factions, how are we supposed to know who the enemy is when the LittleBigWar of 2012 is upon us? D: /s | 2011-08-13 14:46:00 Author: comphermc  Posts: 5338 |

| ...I thought when you divided, it was like doing fractions not factions. Factions sounds better. When it comes to the LBP community, I think it's better for everyone to work and play together, rather then seperating into their own little groups. The community united is better then a community full of people wanting to kill each other. Anyway, on the pin topic, I think the pins look real nice. I do think some of the fansites without pins might feel a bit left out. Though I'm not sure how much use the smaller ones can get out of pins. Well, I can't wait to find out what the requirements for these pins are (though I'd expect them to be winning contests). | 2011-08-14 00:32:00 Author: Goober1823  Posts: 76 |
| To those asking the purpose of the pins: they're specifically named and designed to be given out to contest winners from each respective fansite. You won't see people getting them because they reached a certain rep level or something like that. They're intended as contest prizes, and that's how we'll use ours if (when) it makes it into the game. Also, just for parity, this is what LBPCentral's pin looks like: http://i.imgur.com/rBCWM.png ...though on a much smaller scale, of course. | 2011-08-14 00:41:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
| @ConfusedCartman Ah well it's a rare pin . | 2011-08-14 08:06:00 Author: Sport_dude  Posts: 622 |

Oh sounds exciting, i hope it'll be used in non-level making contests, I see this as a great prize for some of the community contests such as jwwphotos Caption contests  | 2011-08-14 08:07:00 Author: JKthree Posts: 1125 |

D: /s Wouldn't you feel a better man without useless sarcasm? :/ You told me more than once that I "poison" the Community, does sarcasm help to make the Community better? I hope 2012, but even tomorrow, will just be more serene. | 2011-08-14 08:51:00 Author: OmegaSlayer Posts: 5112 |

Apparently others see that being sarcastic is "cool" | 2011-08-14 11:10:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| Well I know one pin I'm never getting. *sighs* Oh well. Only if the made a 'best RTS competition' Then I'd win (me thinks). | 2011-08-14 15:02:00 Author: Unknown User |
| If you don't have one of these pins you're going to die and fade away. Like leaves in autumn. You'll be a tumbleweed just rolling around without a sense of direction or purpose. | 2011-08-14 18:56:00 Author: BasketSnake  Posts: 2391 |
| They are not only given to contest winners, For example: LittleBigLand are giving it to contest winners and helpful active members, each fan site decide how they are giving them out. They list everything the admin send it to Mm. | 2011-08-15 02:54:00 Author: Sport_dude Posts: 622 |
| How about a spotlight crew pin? | 2011-08-15 03:18:00 Author: anoken  Posts: 1654 |
| @Valmassoi They are limited in pin. LittleBigPodcast,lbp2blog,etc didn't get the pin because Mm where limited in pin & time. | 2011-08-15 04:30:00 Author: Sport_dude Posts: 622 |
| Interestingso these pins will take place instead of crowns then. Or will then get that shinny hat and a pin? | 2011-08-15 06:13:00 Author: WESFUN  Posts: 1336 |
| Crowns have become so pointless now in my opinion that it will be nice to have something that can't be given out in a level. :/ | 2011-08-15 12:59:00 Author: tanrockstan34  Posts: 1076 |
| They are not only given to contest winners, For example: LittleBigLand are giving it to contest winners and helpful active members, each fan site decide how they are giving them out. They list everything the admin send it to Mm. Judging how much a Community member is helpful could lead to some trouble with the users. There will always be some bitterness around unfortunately. The purpose of this stuff is making people involved in the Community without expecting anything, just out of good kind will. You can be sure CC, and the other admins will be fair about handling the pins. | 2011-08-15 14:23:00 Author: OmegaSlayer Posts: 5112 |
| As much as it pains me to say this, Omega's right. To keep things fair, the pin (should it even become a reality) probably should be reserved for contest winners and CC. Mods as well, they do good work here. That didn't sound right. I don't mean that it pains me to agree with Omega, it pains me to know that I won't win any contest, unless you count the Caption contest (hint, hint). The contest are tough and you have to be really, really good to win one, I mean they are for a crown after all, and I just don't have the necessary skills to accomplish that feat. So it pains me to know I won't win one. Sure, if I practice and study and practice some more then maybe by round 20 I can be a contender. That's my goal. Round 20, you're mine! | 2011-08-15 19:57:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| Two cents: Games are a weird thing - they let us do things and feel powerul. So much so that we end up taking some things much more seriously than we should. Mm can't fire us from our jobs, or take away Christmas, but we put all this energy into the process, so when we don't get a pin or a crown, we feel cheated...even though nobody really owes us those things. The meet-up was a real eye-opener. Johnee and Spaff worked really hard to make sure everyone was having fun, and we got a look into how tough it is for them to please as many people as they've managed to do. (I think Cartman's responses in this thread sort of allude to this, too.) Pins and crowns are neat - I equipped my "Touching Royalty" pin right away. Yes, they get silly after a while. But so what? LBP is meant to help people have fun, and to have fun together, and I think they're doing the best job they can facilitating that. | 2011-08-15 20:53:00 Author: coyote_blue  Posts: 422 |
| They are not only given to contest winners, For example: LittleBigLand are giving it to contest winners and helpful active members, each fan site decide how they are giving them out. They list everything the admin send it to Mm. Perhaps, but the pin is literally named "[FANSITE] Contest Winner". I've seen it myself. I guess you could give it out to those that haven't won a contest, but it'd be outside the realm of the pin's intended use. Whether or not it's actually used that way is up to the individual fansites. As for us - if they make it in, we're going to be as fair as possible handing them out. Don't worry about that. | 2011-08-15 21:03:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
| I have not won any contest, and I did not won a crown. So really I get this pin for no reason? | 2011-08-15 21:47:00 Author: ShiftyDog  Posts: 293 |
| Wouldn't you feel a better man without useless sarcasm? :/ Honestly, I think sarcasm is appropriate plenty of the time, laughing is basically what keeps me from blowing up every day from stress and all that other in-life garbage, so I appreciate jokes wherever I find 'em. As for the pins, I love the idea, I think for contest winners it's a great thing, rather than just give the pin to everyone making it so much less special, it's given a certain level of prestige, good move on behalf of all. | 2011-08-15 22:18:00 Author: Jayhawk_er  Posts: 403 |
| I have to say, I was kinda confused by this whole thing until seeing that it was a competition-winning thing, at which point I was pleased. I know the crown competitions always cause some controversy, and so I fully expect the pin-giving will do too, but giving away pins to "special" forum members seems a little bit obscene. Even giving them to site staff seems a little bit weird, what with their already being a pin for running fansites. Keep em for the compos I say, and if you really must give them out to special forum members, at least limit it to those forum members with more rep than the site admin and who have at one time served as moderators and spotlight crew members... Whoever might happen to fall into that criteria  BTW, it was implied that the CC pin would be given out retrospectively... Is there a plan to do that with LBPC, or will you be only giving them out for future contests? It seems like LBPC's previous compos are less clear cut than the Contraption Challenges, so IDK what would be the best approach. Cartman, got any thoughts? | 2011-08-16 00:00:00 Author: rtm223 Posts: 6497 |
| Idk what's goin' on, I know it summut to do with the contest and he said that whoever did not won the contest get this pin aswell. I don't get it.. | 2011-08-16 00:23:00 Author: ShiftyDog Posts: 293 |
| that's what i need I need you to tell me how you posted this | 2011-08-16 04:15:00 Author: Unknown User |

Due to how sensitive the community is about rare content, I think we should make the line clear - that way, there are no disagreements about who deserves the pin and who doesn't. So I'll state it as plainly as possible: only LBPCentral contest winners will receive the LBPCentral Contest Winner pin. Not site staff, not "special" members, not even the contest crew themselves (unless they win an LBPCentral contest). If and when the pin makes it into the retail game, we'll reinforce that criteria when we officially "announce" the pin's existence. I think that's as fair as we can be about it. As to past contest winners - we'll decide on a case-by-case basis, but I think it's fair to say that everyone who meets the emboldened criteria will receive our pin. We want it to be a rare prize, but we're not going to gyp deserving winners out of a pin simply because they earned the title before the pin existed. | 2011-08-16 07:39:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
| By the way, no one of the Contest Crew will ever be allowed to enter the contests, just to make another thing bald clear. | 2011-08-16 12:57:00 Author: OmegaSlayer Posts: 5112 |

Only thing I might see an issue with is if someone that has a crown, but wants the pin and enters the contest to win. (that is.. assuming only the site crown contests will count) Will there be hard feelings about that? Oh wait.. there are always hard feelings. lol Umm scratch that.. just make the above an fyi. | 2011-08-16 13:12:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |

That's a question that would be better directed at the contest crew, but in my opinion, anyone should be able to win - crown owner or not. In the event that the winner already possesses a crown, we could just give them the pin. | 2011-08-16 21:20:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |

In the event that the winner already possesses a crown, we could just give them the pin. If a guy with a crown wins a contest, the prize will be given to the runner-up. If CC agrees we can give both the winner and the runner-up a pin for this kind of occurrance. | 2011-08-17 11:09:00 Author: OmegaSlayer Posts: 5112 |
| I only use pins for colour co-ordination with my theme. The orange and white of the LBPC logo don't match at all, but the joined purple and green would suit if I accomodated it. Still, there are better pins that I can and do use (like the 'Loving You From Afar' pin). ...Trust me to think of pins from a matching standpoint as opposed to the rarity and status it grants. | 2011-08-26 14:21:00 Author: Vector-Espio-Fan  Posts: 119 |
