So, besides a 'Mojo' Build being a Blitzbau-lite, I'm unclear as to the real purpoise.

The same purpose as any other GB Bruce. To have fun and enjoy the company of your fellow modellers.
I have no problem if you don't want to participate, but please don't denigrate the format. It worked very well, had a lot of participants, and an excellent level of lively interaction between the participants.
As I have said repeatedly, I like observing the Blitz format, and I do try to participate in the encouragement while a build is in progress. However, I am excluded from actively participating in such builds myself. A little reciprocal support from Blitzbauers would be nice. There is room for both in this forum.

No denigration, just a simple query, on account of a need for clarification.
The original Mojo was, as far as I understood it, a means to get those who had lost their modelling mojo back into modelling. One tactic, to answer Beowulf, was to have a go at something different.
The Blitzbau, originally, was intended to try and break those modellers who repeatedly failed to complete stuff and to try and get them away from AMS...back to modelling like when we was little, when we slapped kits together quickly and without anxiety re finish, or accuracy. A very similar purpose to that of the Mojo GB, apart from timescales.
The original purpose of a GB was way more than simply "To have fun and enjoy the company of your fellow modellers". As far as I see it, that occurs in here every hour of every day of our 24/7, on-line modelling club.
All that said, I appreciate that, with new blood, comes new interpretations. Hence my polite request for clarification.
Regards,
Bruce
