  1. I definitely think the second season of Chima was the best, with the whole mystery of Lavartus and the big outland battle with all of the suspense and plotting, etc. They tried to make the Outland Tribes seem like a credible threat, and they succeeded pretty well.

     

    The first season was definitely the worst, with fablistic storytelling and a repetitive plot "shall we race for the Golden Chi again?" It got better towards the end with the build up to season 2, but it was still bad. 

     

    Season 3 had a good beginning (Eris' vision mystery) and a good ending. The middle of it was really badly paced, with a lot of extraneous fluff thrown in, a bunch of battles and fights just going on...until the ice mountain finally arrived and important characters started getting captured (or freed), lending the suspense quotient and a lot of cool reveals. (It wasn't a giant robot, but it was still really cool.) (pun not intended.)

     

    I think Chima was somewhat of a middle of the road. It wasn't like Ninjago, which started really good and is starting to feel its age, or like Hero Factory, which refused to live up to its own potential. Chima started bad and actually got better with time...but ended before everyone could realize it got better. (And it had some really good characters like the Ravens and the Beavers.)

     

    I think Lego might bring the anthropomorphic animals theme back eventually, and take some lessons from Chima in doing so. Or they might just plain flat bring it back someday - I think it was included in Lego Dimensions. Could be wrong though. 

  2. This makes me think about The Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind. He does this amazing job of creating the world and presenting it to the reader, but then he goes off on a tangent for pages and pages and pages, multiple times, to soapbox his socio-politcal views. It doesn't just annoy, it absolutely breaks the flow of the story. If you don't trust the story to bring across the theme you wish to convey, rewrite and rework it until you do.

  3. host XXVIII as well then

     

    "Bionicle Mafia XVIII: Mask of Ultimate Power 3"

    No way I'd mortgage MoUP like that. 

     

    I could host the Prison for XXVIII, but then I'd be hosting two games in a row. That doesn't sit well with me. Give other people a chance.

  4.  

    I already have the idea for MoUP 4. It shall be glorious. 

     

    However, after MoUP 3 I shall have to host XXIX, if Quisoves ever gets off his dead tail and actually hosts the game before that.

     

    if Quisoves doesn't post XXVIII soon I propose that you either take it for yourself or we throw it at some poor host that can scrape out a mafia game quickly

     

    Nah, there's a reason I want that concept for XXIX to be XXIX, otherwise I would have hosted it sooner.
