I can't say what was the best, storywise nor gameplaywise. If my friend didn't fool me, I would have been able to compare 3 and Reach, but he did. As for te SAW, maybe it has some good things, to be put in the game, but I can't see those. To me, it reminds too much of CoD and realistic shooters like that.In other news, if someone hasn't still read A fistful of arrows, I'd recommend him to read it. It's very good for a fan-made Halo comic, IMO.

Thanks for the review, Valixia! I can perfectly understand what are you complaining about. I understand that characterization here is completely absent and I'll keep in mind to give characters a soul, or whatever gets closer to it, in my future works. Here, I can't do much to correct its absence, for this should be intended as a paper written while being hunted by cruel creatures, when you have no time to write about that. Still, I understand that this way it looks like a colorless, emotionless world populated by gray figures with blurred shapes. It's true. Stories have to involve the reader, and it didn't happen here as it should have done.However, if there's something I can do to fix it, it is adding a reference to the BIONICLE world. Again, you're right, I didn't put any references to Glatorian, Toa or stuff.I repeat, I fully understand your reasons to judge this as an experiment that backfired. I suppose that I should start writing the related Epic, for the sake of this Short Story ( and of the others ). I should provide more backstory and understanding to those.I'm satisfied of your review, though it wasn't a completely positive one. Still, it's been very useful and I won't stop writing and trying to improve my skills. I'll keep at it.Thanks again for the precious review!

Little question about posts and topics?

Good! Thanks for help, Reznas! I think this could be "Question answered, topic closed"ed. -
Little question about posts and topics?
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Mare Tranquillitatis's topic in BZPower Q&A
Regarding your question, it is a bit different with the post count. Technically, as long as you are posting in a forum which increases your post count (Like the Comics Forum), any topics you created will be counted towards our post count. As I said before, topics are considered posts, but not replies. I know it can be confusing, but once you figure it out, it's easy to remember.-RezOkay. Let's see if I got it right:- posts: count towards Members' post count ( if they're done in topics that allow that, such as GD, instead of, for example, CoT ); count towards post count in main page, as described above;- topics: count towards Members' post count ( if they're done in topics that allow that, such as GD, instead of, for example, CoT );count towards topic count only, in main page;- replies: posts after the first one, which counts as topic.Right?Let's see, you have posts and topics correct, but as for replies, do you mean that replies count as topic, or the first post? I didn't really understand that sentence.-RezThe first post. -
The Vahi's Power
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Makuta Matata's topic in Bionicle Storyline & Theories
That should be true, as far as I've heard, for the other two Legendary Masks, the Ignika and the Mask of Creation.As for the second part and "true" question, I can vaguely remember that moment, but I suppose that, being the Island of Mata Nui just a camouflage device of the Mata Nui Robot, it's considered part of the Matoran Universe as well, yet external to the body. I think a paragon with human body could help: I think that, if what I said is true, Mata Nui ( the island ) can be considered like hair in the human body. Hair is part of us, yet it's out of our body. I believe this could be a working metaphorical explanation of what I've supposed. -

So, I guess, in the member post count, replies are wrongly called as posts? -
Describe The Avatar Of The Member Before You!
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Ghosthands's topic in Completely Off Topic
Apparently, he's confused. Perhaps by the fact you actually want a T-shirt with him on it. -
Okay, it's been quite a long time I had this question buzzing in my brain and, since Q&A description says I could ( The place for BZPower Members to ask questions about BZP rules, traditions, and all other aspects of BZP they may be curious about ), I'd like to ask this, though it may sound kinda useless: when one looks at the main page of the forums sees, let's say, for example, BZPower Q&A, with the description and the forum leader and, on the right, "371 topics, 1820 replies"; well, the question is, do the topics count towards the number of replies, like it works for us members, or are they separate?I understand this may seem a little bit useless and pointless, yet I didn't find anything that could explain this, so I asked. Anyone knows the answer?Thanks everyone in advance!

Though his body could lead to a human figure, I don't think that his head is human... -
Excellent job. The use of the parts is genius. I especially love the legs and the gun in the right arm. And, unlike those who came before me, I appreciate that black arm.I can't see any flaws in this, it's perfect. Though I can't understand what its left arm is supposed to be holding.Impressive MOC, one of the best I've ever seen here! I bow at you, sir, and give it a very well deserved 10/10.

Both the sketchbook and the sketch of Mata Nui are very nice. I love the front of the book and even the back, though it's very visible that you messed it. Can't say if it really has been inspired from Dr. Halsey's Journal, but I actually had a Halo-feeling, if you catch my meaning. :biggrin:Very good job, Crunchy! As always.

I'll be handling your request personally. Thank you for choosing the SSCC. EDIT: Done. Even if you didn't like it that much as I intended, thank you so much! Your words have been precious and I'll surely keep at it. Thanks again!

Uh, if possible, I'd take a request. I'd like some advice of my newest work:Letter from a prey - The Renegade EmperorSomething different from my usual style, so I'd like to see how it affects Short Stories Critics. Thanks in advance!

I don't think interrogation would bring anywhere but "The worship of Talos is strictly forbidden".

Is that so?They will have to die, then. *grabs Merune's Razor and Shrouded armour*Yes, it is. They should be on the left of the Jarl's Throne Room. The room they can be found is the one where the Stormcloak officer stays. I suggest you to use a bow while he sleeps. It could be considered a crime, if he sees you attacking them.

Agree. Thalmor are, along with bears, the only enemies I kill mercilessly. "So you can cast a few spells, am I supposed to be impressed?" Their Bound Swords never help them.I can't get why two of them live ( and respawn ) in Markarth's Understone Keep. I mean, that city has passed under Stormcloak control with my character!
