What?

Go Cubs! Yes, three runs in the bottom of the ninth! Tied! Well, scratch that now. Well, he hasn't done it so far this season. He pitched a good game. Your cordial bad-wishes are similarly returned. I'm not a big fan of any team other than the Cubs. I think really liking more than one team is kinda weird. Well, anything against the other team--or almost anything--can be amusing. Like all the Brewers losses last year when the Cubs took the lead--not an amusing subject with you, I bet. Or the White Sox's awfulness last year to White Sox fans. Having the second-oldest ballpark is pretty awesome. Really? What are his W/L against them? I'm not challenging your statement, I'd just like to know. Ah, the might-have-beens. If the Cubs had scored more runs, they might have gotten to the World Series. But they didn't, and that's what actually happened. (Stupid reality, huh?) We'll see how it all works out. The Cubs aren't so bad either. Those MHBs. If only Prior's career hadn't been so messed up by injury(s). Baseball stats ignore 'em, the only logical thing. But MHBs can still be annoying. -?

Yeah, some things seem okay that aren't, 'cause you forget to think about what effect it'll have on people, or whatever. . . I've done that, unfortunately. If you've ever offended me, here's a (free!) official Receipt-O'-Forgiveness from me. If you were really bad, then you wouldn't be sorry about anything you did wrong. You'd probably be too proud, and obviously you aren't like that. And that counts for a lot. -?

You're entitled to your opinion, but this is going too far. "No offense, but I was shocked that you got out of the semis." Anyone who says "no offense" needs to make sure what they're saying is really not offensive, because they obviously already think it could be perceived as insulting, and that often could be for a good reason. That is definitely offensive, and the kind of thing you, at the very least, do not say to the builder. Using the word "shocked" is saying how bad you think his entry is, and it is not even partially relieved by a detailed review on how it could be better, or why it's bad. Feel free. But don't try to force it on other people. The point is not that whatever MOC you think is the best wins, or the mods would've set it up that way. If you were sorry, you wouldn't do it. As I said, if the mods wanted you to decide who won, they'd do it. It's the majority that counts. You have already voiced your opinion by voting, and now you're objecting to others' opinions. Or you could post constructive criticism in his topic, if you haven't or have something to add to it. I've found that you already posted, and your post contrasts rather sharply with what you're saying now. One would think on seeing that post that you might actually be supporting his entry now. That's as insulting or more so than "shocking." I don't know what you were trying to accomplish by posting all that. The most likely reaction 55555 would have after reading this is a) to make him mad at you because of its offensiveness, or B) it would make him feel bad to be doing so well. Or maybe both. -------------- And you seem to be taking out your frustration about 55555's success on him. That doesn't really make sense. Y'know the real reason why he's where he is? Because other people voted for his entry. Other people "deserve" (though not really) your comments of lunacy and shocking. -?

1. Greater Slappy Fly 2. Poisonpede -?

1. Ratali 2. Pesteer 3. Elephail 4. The Kunari Crab 5. The Poisonpede 6. Gargali The Poisonpede is my favorite entry out of those. Good luck, Aklan! -?

Ouch. I have an idea of how frustrating that would be. -?

Uh, Shine? An elephant that lives in a tree? Well, it's more creative than mine. I went with something more. . . classic: Behold, my Monkey. Yes, just plain Monkey. Entry Name: Monkey Entry Pic URL: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Rojaz/MO...ey/img_3197.jpg Topic URL (if applicable): Not applicable yet. I'm not sure its limbs and tail--I'm pretty sure not all of them do--fit inside the size requirements. That's okay, right? I really need to change my name. I agree with the 'Zilla-that-ran-into-a-couple-power-lines too. You knew I was entering a monkey. . . Your bird might have a hard time eating a monkey that's so much bigger than it, though. -?

Naw, can't be that. That would mean you'd need a double-socket or something that serves the same purpose, and it would make the neck longer than the pictures show. And after just looking at this picture. . . . . . you can see it's just a Metru forearm attached to a plain ol' socket. Krika stands out from the summer Makuta, and Takanuva is how I'd like the Nuva to be. That mask is just the way I'd like the Nuva's. Here's my opinion of the Nuva Mistika: Tahu Mask: Not similar at all, and IMO, ugly.Weapon (not the blaster): Same as his mask.Color scheme: His color scheme lacks bright red, his signature color. . . He doesn't even have his orange, which is more understandable, considering Pohatu was partly orange this year, and they might not want to make two canister sets with the same color the same year.GaliGali is the worst, mask-wise. Not only does it not resemble either of her other masks, but IMO it's the ugliest of all the ones I've seen in Bionicle. Weapon (not the blaster): From what I've seen, she doesn't have one--so that's another way she's different.Color scheme: It would've been nice if she'd had bright blue and not dark blue as her main color. That alone would make her much more Gali/Gali Nuva-like. But I see that it's there--a little--and that's better than nothing. I'll take it. And she doesn't have light blue, her other main color. . . So, yeah: her color scheme is slightly similar. OnuaI guess he's the best of the Nuva Mistika. His mask looks evil to me, but at least it's cool, so I'll take it when I compare it to the other Nuva Mistika masks. But it doesn't resemble his other masks in any way that I've seen.Weapon (not the blaster): Don't know if he has one.He's the best, color scheme-wise. He's black, gray and silver: His old color scheme. Sweet!All points considered, Onua is the most similar, but even he isn't very similar. Which means the others are even less similar. . . I'm very disappointed with the Nuva Mistika. -?

Okay, got it. Aww, man. . . Now I don't know what to do. Enter the monkey, or make a more evil-looking MOC. . . Why did you have to give me a choice?! JK. I prefer having that choice, so thanks for the rule change. Maybe I'll enter the monkey since he's almost all the way built. -?

Guess I won't enter monkeys, then. How about two different MOCs, BD? Oh, yeah. Heh. . . How about Toa Metru chest armor instead, attached by the bottom hole? (Bottom meaning bottom when it's on a Toa Metru.) That might work. -?

Hm. Does it have to be a "nasty critter?" And can more than one MOC be entered in one entry? You could try attaching Toa Metru leg armor to it, if it's the piece I think it is. -?

Your choice. If you want, you can just say what your first and second choices would be while we wait for What? to get here.. Sorry. I'm here now. I claim the $6. Money. . . Maybe I'll use it to help buy a Nuva. Thanks a lot to Arpy & 55555 for the awesome contest! Thanks a lot for the prize, Arpy. And thanks to 55555 for putting up the polls; I know that was a lot of trouble. -?

Well. . . I already voted for the Craniopod, and I wanted to vote for the Streak before, and I don't want to vote for myself, so I'm going with the Autobot Streak. Good luck, Konta! -?

Entry #3, though I find the name a bit disturbing. "Neural Organization Device?" That thing's not organizing my neural pathways, or anything else to do with my brain, pal. Entry #1 is very possibly the best transformer I've seen. Too bad I can't vote twice. -?
