I hope by the means of this group to expand the Mysterion universe, and multiply the sightings. I think it will be a good thing most of all for recent builders, because Mysterion MOCs can't seem to be able to come out wrong, no matter your limits in skill, pieces, or inspiration :)
YAY MYSTERIONS!

Don't worry, this group is for people who like Mysterions, not only for those who alredy built some :)
Permalink

Say, Ocean, I'd like to use a pic of your first Mysterion as group's Icon, if that's all right with you.
Permalink

Thanks for the invite. It's been a while since I dusted off 195, but it's the only remaining Mysterion in my collection. I'll build more soon! (Just realized that a lego store is opening 10 miles away. I'm going to stock up on pieces to churn out some more.)

I agree; Mysterions rock. Way more interesting than the old VOATs. I should post object 666 and the other one in about a week.
Permalink

Can't wait :)
Permalink

Yay, thanks for the invite. Could someone update me on what these mysterions are and what this group is about?
I think I might have some notion about what these mysterions are, but I'm not sure. So some help would be appreciated

Mysterions were Shannon Ocean's idea for a new kind of VOAT, but now they're pretty much their own theme, I guess. See this page:

Also, you can read the discussion here starting from this comment:

Thanks! That was rather helpful. I like this idea. But now I want to know what a VOAT is :)

Permalink

A VOAT is mainly a MOC featuring a bubble cockpit of some kind, best if the BTII kind (the one with the 2 octagonal screens on the sides, and the vertical one in the middle.

But other bubbles are allowed

Once upon a time, Uspez Morbo posted this:
http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/46200
The challenge of this is to build a MOC that uses no more than two colors (except trans colors) and incorporates a certain canopy design. It became a relatively popular theme over time. However, one day Uspez started thinking that it might not be easy for lots of people to build this canopy design because they might not have the necessary pieces or whatever. To help solve this problem, two more canopy designs were introduced that were different from the original VOAT design, but could be considered VOAT subthemes, I guess. Those two designs are known as VOADTs and Mysterions. This group is dedicated to the latter, but you can also find them at the group for VOATs, which is here:

I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
Permalink

Ah, thank you both for the explanation. I feel all educated now. I might try my hand at one of these soon.
Permalink

I'm sure you'll come up with something stunning, as usual. btw "Watch this, you're gonna love my guts" made me laugh my aXX out. I watched it twice!
Permalink

Haha, yes, I've also watched it a couple of times. And it still makes me laugh very much.
Permalink

I'm already making one!

Well, things were going well here, up to day #2, yet now nothing seems to happen... Morbo didn't join (I'd have really liked to have him and his stuff), and Ocean forgot to post his stuff :(
Well, I know some of you are bulding Mysterions, so I guess things will become more interesting in no time :)

Take a look at these unpublished Mysterions found around Ocean's page

Hope you don't mind that I joined. I love mysterions, and am making my first one as I type this...:P
Permalink

Welcome! I love Mysterions and I really hope to see more and more of them :)
YAY MSTERIONS!
Permalink

Thanks for inviting me. I just made my first mysterion and am going to upload it soon.
Permalink

Welcome :) More are coming!
Permalink

Question. Do the details coming off the box have to be black or can they be the same color?
Permalink

Well, classic mysterion have black... stuff around. But if you check around, you'll see a great variety of shapes and colors, just try to keep the original "feeling" alive :)
Permalink

Greetings all over there! I'm christian and will addsome mysterions soon. Maybe next week.
I love the idea of this small fantasy universe. It's easy, mysterious and you can do many things about. One question: Where and when the mysterion universe is set? Because i read many protocolls about star systems etc. Is it a future world or can i use earth of today, or is it a mix of it? (Earth 09 but with space discovery)
Permalink

You can write reports so it's not clear how much in the future you are :) I always assume the sightings happen inside the UNE/COPverse, but I keep it vague... I'm working on a timeline rilght now, based on previous sightings. Keep an eye on the Encounter Report List :)
YAY MYSTERIONS!

To expand the Mysterion universe, it could be fun and useful to create some kind of canon for the Mysterion universe, not? I don't mean telling an originstory, of course not, because it's the highest rule of Mysterions not to know about them. What i mean is a basic introduction or list with known main star systems, factions, who/where/when met or explore the Mysterions. That's surely difficult because Mysterion was developed for the VOAT thing, so there maybe is a background at some models, but a specific one would make the stories and report much more interesting and intensive. For example, you could connect some etc. Of course, it would have to be open, to expand and add new things. What do you think?

By the Way, i have an idea for my next Mysterion project, which won't be just a new Mysterion but is inspired by the whole theme. It will introduce some new stuff and expend the setting without explaining anything. You'll all allowed to use it for your own stories, also, but you haven't to. Hope to finish in June but i'll need some weeks to take the time for.

All is fine as long as they remain a mystery :)

I am new to this group, and I was wondering if I could make land vehicles? I already have 1 built, and one WIP.

Thanks!
Permalink

of course! I'm building a Mechserion myself :)
Permalink

I know I can make mysterion mechs, but can I upload them to the group? It said on the storyline 'mysterious alien spacecraft', but I'm not sure how bendable the rules are...
Permalink

The Mysterion came from space, but why they shouldn't use any landcrafts? I also created a submarine Mysterion. The only fact is their alien origin, the canopy and that they have hundreds of various objects. Anything new is welcome.
Permalink

My test Mysterion is a 2 wheeler type thing.
Permalink

Hey guys-there's a whole bunch of new Mysterions here I missed! I've been meaning to come back here for a while but have been busy lately. I won't make this mistake again :)

I feel a new batch coming on looking at all these new mocs. Nice work guys!
Permalink

We still miss your own stuff :)
YAY MYSTERIONS!

Mechsterion coming up this week :) Oh, and Vote Yuri :) http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/125826
Permalink

Oh, i didn't thank you that you made me moderator yet, Yuri. I don't know why but thanks.
Permalink

More mysterons are coming in a month or so...
Permalink

Hello, do you keep track of all the mysterion's numbers?
Permalink

Sure, the list is here:
http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/146748

But if you build or find any i missed to add, report in the encounter report list.
Permalink

Wow, I can't imagine the time you spent compiling that. Hmm, Could you give me some tips for gimp photo editing? I would appreciate it alot.
Permalink

Mh, there's a mocpages group "photo editors" or something similiar, which can help. Easiest way to learn is experimenting. Basicly, i make photos on clear background, cut the background away with different tools or manual, the rest is work with the layers. Effects are very easy after some experience. You can find instructions on Youtube.
Permalink

Hey guys, in a future MOComic that I have in progress I'm having a mysterion CHARACTER. Yup. That's right. It's in an alternate reality from the UNEverse, so no plot-story conflicts. I even have a NAME for the mysterion soldier: Wyak, which is an abbreviation of the Hawaiian word for 'mystery'. Just lettin y'all know, tell me what you think please.
Permalink

Honestly i wouldn't do this last big jump. Mysterions are supposed to be complete different to our imagination of life or being. So, i wouldn't show any in my series, there some telepathic encounters where Mysterions are presented by other persons. Making pilots of the objects may offend the idea Shannon Ocean had when making them.

On the other hand, there's no size limits for canopies so an object like your Mysterion drone could appear and named by your characters. Depends on how he/it reacts in the series. But for me a Mysterion is not an individual with feelings, thoughs etc. as we know each other.

OR: Your Mysterion is a fake and later uncovered as something elso in your series to trick the crew.
Permalink

D'oh! Of course. The identity of the Mysterions must NEVER be revealed!!! 0_0 I have something in mind, though, to fix this. Thank GOODNESS I ran it by you guys first! Phew!

This was my "unofficial" Mysterion fig.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=683261639#!/photo.php?pid=2376310&id=683261639&ref=fbx_album
It was just a concept, so I never posted it on MOCpages. Up to this day, I'm still not sure I want to know what's inside the canopy :)
(and even if I did, I think it should fall on Shannon Ocean. Or maybe on Christian, who's dome more for this theme than anyone)
Permalink

I once considered making an april fools joke with a fake "reveal" that it was a spongebob minifig, but I never bothered. Anyway, so I take it this theme is still going strong?

Also, I have noticed at least three early reports that implied the mysterions were collecting asteroids. Hmmm.
Permalink

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET ALL OUR MYSTERIONS IN THIS GROUP IF WE CAN ONLY ADD 2 PER DAY! I'VE BEEN BUILDING THEM FASTER THAT THAT!!!

Permalink

Would this count?

http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/201770

If so, how do I assign an encounter number?

Thanks!
Permalink

If they're many more simpler ones, put them in one moc, Yuri and Shannon did so, too. The limit is made because a big amount of mocs posted early to each other loses more attention each because it's easier to overwatch one.
Permalink

Oh... That makes a sense.
Permalink

OK, I just saw Bob's list. I'm claiming #708.
Permalink

Where are my new ones? Are they on the main list yet?
Permalink

I am meaning:

#401-A
#4095-TM
#823-C
Permalink

OBJECT #823-C was DESTROYING an asteroid field. How do you explain that?
Permalink

Yes they are.
