It wasn't. Its OT name was something relatively normal like "Bob".

Whoa. I never thought I'd be happy to see the Mistika. Overall, the site looks great. I quite like, on the main page, that piece with the Mistika buttons - roll the mouse over, and the pictures enlarge. Simple but appealing. Another song from the person behind Creeping in my Soul? Great! On the downside, I see the return of that nauseating Hordika green as a background colour. But it's only a minor problem. Now I just need those new story serials, and I'll be happy until next year.

.... Okay, I'll keep SuperMudkip. But he'll have backup. Plus, with any luck, that won't be the last vestige of the Mudkip theme.

Yeah, I'm getting away with it on the microphone front, too... Just pin more roles on me. I do it to you all the time.

I've got one. A good one. Just... give me some time to make the graphics, okay? In other news.... LAST WEEK OF TERM!!

WIN.

Like the others, I say that the songs should be the first things to go. No matter how good they are, they're too long to fit into the constraints. Secondly, I suggest go through the topic and identify which bits everyone liked the least; prune those. From there, see what you have left and pick out any specific lines that aren't necessary. For instance, (*watches PSA*) the "O RLY" bit at the beginning should be removed, and the conversation where Lewa initially suggests a PSA should be whittled to the extent where it's merely this: Mantax: So what's this great idea? Lewa: So what we need to do is get people interested in you again. With a PSA, of course! ...Or something like that. Having said that, just five minutes is a mildly extreme length to cut it down to.

Remember what I was saying about Lai hijacking one of my latest MOCs? Well, that's been resolved very fairly, I think. B) You see, before I left for school today, I decided to get my work back. So, when he was in the kitchen, I snuck into his room and took it; he left it in a very obvious spot, a mistake I didn't repeat myself. Then, after school, I got to work reclaiming my work. To divert Lai's suspicion, I had to change the red-and-black colour scheme to red-and-silver silver and black, pardon the typo. Then I had to try to recreate the old torso, which took a lot of experimentation. The legs were somewhat Nivawk-based, yet different in a big way. The end result was, in my view, a very sleek and thin, yet mildly oversized, Toa of... something. I'll probably put him up on BZP sometime later. Then again, that's what I said about all my other MOCs... But this time I mean it!

...For now. And yes, that means bye-bye to the Mudkip signoff. Anyway, for my next blog theme (I'm not going to re-do "Dlakii Industries HQ" for a while), I was thinking something to do with Ike and the Greil Mercenaries. Any other suggestions?

Do you have a job? Nope. What did you have for breakfast this morning? Sultana Bran. How often do you read this blog? Whenever it's in an obvious place on the list of blogs; I haven't added it to Favourites or anything. What speed internet connection do you have? Broadband, supposedly; it's slow when it suits it. I blame Telstra. Noun as a question? Mudkip?

Yeah, it's deeply lame, but still... CONQUEROR O' DA SWARM!!!

The following entry contains much anger. You have been warned. So, yesterday I was working on this absolutely winful MOC. It was absolutely brilliant; I made a set of custom upper arms which actually looked streamlined and heroic in my view. It was one of my better works. Then today, I came home from school, worked on it a bit more, then did some work on Chapter 4 of LIGHT for about an hour. (:wakeup2:) Then I headed back to continue work on the MOC. Guess what I found? Lai had hijacked the MOC! He'd destroyed my torso, reducing it to a lamebrained Inika design. He'd stolen MY PRIZED ARMS, and hacked them onto said torso. He'd added pathetic generic Piraka legs, and topped off the horrifying spectacle with a badly-done Vahki head. Needless to say, I was NOT HAPPY. When I interrogated him about it, he claimed to have built the whole shebang from scratch. Then he proceeded to throw every pillow in the room at me, scream, and bolt out the door, which I subsequently locked. Some justice was dealt in the end; I proceeded to mutilate a Matoran microphone he'd made. I'd like to stress that Lai is not seven years old. He's nearly thirteen.

It's not that the time with the name was bad (I mean, I finally overtook Dreiken in posts under this name!), but the Mudkip thing just got old rather fast. It was funny for a few days, it certainly turned a few eyebrows, but now that most new acquaintances are calling me "Mudkip", I'm downright sick of it. But this blog will still be Mudkip Manor for a while.

Gah, close enough. One of these days, Phy, that'll change...

So now I am missing out on something... And once again, Australia gets something first. I think.

How about we stay ON TOPIC, PEOPLE? No. It just sounds cool. Is this SZ signing up himself? No! Sign up for yourself only! And post in the Emporium! Doesn't ANYONE read those conditions? :angry:

Only three more days of Mudkipness.... Thank (insert random deity here) it's nearly over!
