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.
3/3/10 Story Fit Exercise
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 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
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.
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
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.
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.

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
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
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

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
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.
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.

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.
In my previous RPG Etiquette Episode (more than a year ago now), I adopted a rather cynical and sarcastic tone. This Episode will depart from that a bit by taking a more neutral opinion on matters.

Godmodding. We RPers all know what it is. It's a rule in almost all RPGs, and those that don't have it usually tend to fall apart. Why is that?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, Godmodding essentially stands for "godly modification", where a player makes his

We're into our fourth week now, and it's time to get even more creative with our prompts.
We've all experienced it. That dreadful thing called Writer's Block. The very mention of it sends chills down the best writers' spines...it's scarier than Edgar Allan Poe's short stories.
There's a contest going on right now to make a Rahi canon...specifically, the bird Rahi that Ackar uses to teach Mata Nui how to predict an opponent's movements.
There are lots of good entries out of the twenty there, go to the poll and vote for your favorite!

Since we're into our third week, let's go for something different from our past two one-word prompts.
When attempting to reveal a character's beliefs, writers often fall back on using a monologue: a prolonged talk or discourse by a single speaker. Many criticize monologues however, citing it
