For those of you who are reading this entry, I am declaring The Game won. That's it. You've won the game. Victory. No need to go back to playing it.
kthxbai!
I personally don't see any difference at all between the two, but I'm just curious: which one do you use, or do you use both or neither (some other image hosting site) for your Bionicle/BZP things?
Note: This is not about which is better, just which one you use.
People will never agree. Especially not on standards. People will argue about the verdict in a courtroom, the flaws of the SAT in providing a standard for college admissions, even the 'accuracy' of a history textbook that is too left-leaning or right-leaning. When these standards are taken to a national scale, these disagreements become huge as well. And ugly.
There is no correct way, no one Truth; at least, even if there is, there are few people who can figure it out in their lifetime. It's

3/12/10 Story Fit Special
For an explanation of what the Story Fit is, please go here.
Each week I'll post an exercise. This is the entry for the exercise of the "week" of March 12 - March 23.
The Task
Story Fit has now hit the two-month (plus two days) mark, and what with the promise of more active SFers and a minor addition to the system, this is the perfect time to go back and redo any of the exercises you missed!
That's right, that's all there is to this exercise. You have el
Today after school I called my mom to pick me up. The phone call lasted five seconds; a police officer immediately caught my mom and fined her for using the phone while driving.
When my mom picked me up, she was laughing her head off at the absurdity of the situation.
I vowed not to eat any sugary products or candy for the month of March. Despite the first couple of days being pretty difficult, I'm experiencing a surprising lack of temptation. I have six Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream chocolate bars next to me, as well as a Crispy Rice chocolate bar. It's been on my desk for two days, but I haven't touched it at all.
Suffice it to say that I am proud of myself.
Kulagi's Kanoka: one of the epics that I read before becoming a member here, it played a huge part in leading me to join. Thanks to xccj for writing this and for directing me back to the story! =D

3/3/10 Story Fit Exercise

Each week I'll post an exercise. This is the entry for the exercise of the week of March 3 - March 9.

This is the seventh week that Story Fit has been running. Time to do a more challenging exercise.
Imagine the person or type of person you hate most. Think about that person's habits. Think about the aspects of the person you distaste. Think about that person at their absolute lowest, thei
There are few things in this world that incite as much anger in a person as the bullying of the person's younger sibling.
You can hurt me, you can cripple me, you can beat me to a pulp, but lay one finger on my seven-year old brother and I will personally come and tear you apart.
This'll be my eighteenth entry for the month of February (two on the 17th), marking my most active month on BZP for years. I feel like I've finally re-discovered what drew me to this site in the first place.
Which is the subject of this entry. The last time I "quit" BZP was two years ago, because I got bored of the place. Not enough was happening, I felt like everything I was a part of had stagnated. BZP just wasn't fun anymore. Similar story when I came back. Still bored.
So why is it tha
Now that my entry for the IDBM Contest #3, the Everflight, has made it all the way to the final poll (to be honest I'm really surprised; I thought I might make it past the first round if I was lucky), I'd like to share the ideas behind my entry.
When I found the topic in the S&T forum (it wasn't that hard since it was pinned), I thought "why not, I'll try it out". I've participated in a few contests here at BZP but the only ones I've ever stood a chance in were the story writing ones. But
Don't you hate it when somebody staples a packet of paper too close to the center, and the staple isn't in the top left hand corner but too far down and to the right?
It's like the staple is intruding in the rest of the paper's personal space. I mean, how are the words going to get any room to breathe if the staple is right next to them? It's just rude and obnoxious. If any staples are reading this, I suggest you go back to the little square inch in the corner of the page where you belong.

We're into our sixth week now, and since six is such an important and prevalent number in the Bionicleverse, this theme will be based on six.
Instead of being given a requirement, you will be given six possible requirements, with the option to choose between one of the six for your st
Recent events in the RPG forum have brought to mind a debate about ethics that we've been having not just in my AP Lang class but also my Government class as well. I've decided to share my views on justice and fairness, and what I believe they are.
Women today, despite supposedly being on "equal ground" as men, still don't get the same wages as men do. I won't bother you with statistics. Some women's rights activists demand exactly equal treatment as men do, in not just jobs but all aspects o
You've all heard of the term "___ wins the internetz". I'm usually against using such cliches because overusing these memes tends to downplay the awesomeness of real accomplishments. However, in this case I believe our resident Compulsive Name Changer, Rabid (or My name is a sentence. now) has indeed won the internetz. Congratulations.

It's nice to finally have confirmation from Greg himself on the differences between Iron and Magnetism. Maybe this will set to rest some of the "Magnetism is useless" accusations.

Original OGD post:
Though it does bring up the question of whether MU beings even have blood. Unless that was a real life example and not meant to be taken literally.
I'm starting a new blog project. Each month I'll post nine links to topics/stories/blogs that I highly recommend. Included with that will be a "game" of sorts (where the name of this entry comes from).
First, I'll introduce the nine topics, and then the rules of the game below.
1 - Renowned Outstanding BZP Citizen, Master Artist and Writer, and overall Nice Person Lady Kopaka is now offering commissions. If you're feeling like having one of your story characters or RPG characters or a rand
2/17/10 Story Fit Exercise

We're into our second month now! Yay! And to celebrate, this week's exercise is to include a celebration in your story. This can be the focus of your story or a prop/background, or just a device to propel your plot. Write away!
Note: Yes, I know it's just been Valentine's Day, but
My thoughts on the experience:
1) Raccoons > Bears
2) Instant Mac and Cheese still tastes good without milk and butter.
3) Old people not only can hike, but are better at it than a group of seventeen year olds.
4) Some rangers are chill, some aren't.
5) Sociology and Economics texts make for some great fuel.
6) GPS > Woman for directions. But the extra two hours of getting lost in the mountains was nice I guess. Beautiful scenery.
