ExoFat

Be good, little one.

Exo-Fat may not have a problem with it. But The Santa Clause does.

Thanks to your votes, Villainous has won RPGC15! Special thanks goes out to Zyrox for suggesting the unique coding and helping me clean up the presentation, and to Spink for helping out with the finer mechanics of story driven RPGs, and to Robo for inadvertantly giving me the idea for a gameplay mechanic which I think you're really going to enjoy.

I can arrange that.

>_> Stop gloating, already. Have a good time!

If you're not good, you'll find coal in your suitcase.

Don't worry. I've got your tail.

Deal! I'll do reindeer bombings.

So, if any of you need a recap, check here. I'll be updating this periodically. I'm shooting for every Saturday, so we'll see how that goes. You can also add your own personal recaps here in comments section. Be sure to mention anything that I missed! *Recap Start* Imagine opens in Spaceport, where a night time zombie attack is plaguing the city. Red and other people fight off some zombies while occasionally returning to the Universe. In the Universe, the Demons have someone managed to infiltrate London, likely through its sewer systems and people are evacuating the city. Wyatt meets up with Davis and they encounter a demon who forces them into the Immagina for a duel. Shade, a super villain from the Immagina's past, shows up and traps Red, Davis, Alex, and a few others in a building full of zombies. While trying to fight each other, they have to fight the zombies as well. Mocha, a bear eidolon, starts throwing zombies and creates a zombie shaped whole in the wall, which they promptly escape through. Once outside, they meet the Professor, who got hit in the head by a flying zombie, and Shade, who forces them to experience their greatest fear. The only way that Shade is driven off is by a surprise attack from Manifold. Shade runs away in order to execute the next stage of his plan. A battle ensues that lasts until dawn, when all the nightmares flee the city. Red goes to a bar to meet his contact with the Dune Bandits, who informs him that they have found a passage into Underworld. Red asks the room at large if anyone will join him in this quest. A team is assembled and will meet later that day on the street corner. Red goes out to requisition supplies. Meanwhile, the Bazooka BUnnies are being chased by a legion of hunters. After that fight, the team assembles. They meet Pedro, whom everyone is almost immediately suspiscious of but they accept him anyway. The team travels out into the desert where they are shown the tunnel to Underworld. Right after entering the passage they are attacked by many nightmares. The team fights them off, but not without injury. Red duels Shade who spouts off some cryptic messages before being driven away by Sol. A small break in the fighting allows the team to reassemble. Pedro slips away to go talk to a horde of demons and betray the team. He is unsuccessful, and upon his return is questioned heavily about his whereabouts. When he is revealed as a traitor, he gets angry and leaves the Immagina to go after the baby form of Starbright, Thea Metissa. After being healed by Eckell, Red assures the team that there is only a little way to go before they reach the top most level of Underworld, where they can assassinate the Demon leaders. About halfway up the stairs the team encounters Manifold, a group of five giants, and a Shadow Tyrannus. The giants are easily dispatched, and the Professor's Nanotyrannus devoured the Shadow Tyrannus. Manifold proved harder to beat. He orders his familiars to crazy things, culminating in the creations of a gigantic Goliath Bird Eating Spider. Red becomes desperate and asks Starbright if she can have Nexus lift the team up to the topmost level and out of danger. Most of the people are carted by Nexus to the top (some were left behind to fight the giant spider that Manifold created), where it is revealed that Red is actually one of the six leaders of the Demons, with the lead Demon being a headless figure with a diamond hard body and a gold robe. The whole scheme was a trap to kill some of the most powerful Daydreamers and harvest their *dreamsouls for use in the Demon's plan. Starbright, in particular, has a very powerful dreamsoul. In passing, Red mentions an artifact of unimaginable power hidden deep beneath the City of Gold in an infinite labrynth of doom. So people start fighting. Shade shows up, says a few things, and summons one of his creations, called Behemoth. To combat this, the Professor writes up the Black Beast of Aaaargh and now the two monsters are duking it out. Red has summoned several ghost ninjas to overwhelm the Daydreamers. Currently the Professor has obtained the holy hand grenade and intends to use it as a way to escape. *Recap End* I'm sure that there are things that I've missed please tell me about them if you remembered something that I didn't. -EF

So, I was recently forced to take a small hiatus from BZPower, my games, and my other online duties. Sorry to all you Imagine players out there. But now the quarter finals are over and my two and a half week long fall break has commenced. I'm going to kick things back into gear in Imagine and finally post my final Outbreak IC (if it's still up). Oh, and thanks for those who have voted for Villainous so far in the RPGC15 polls. If you haven't voted yet, check out the submissions, reviews, and the final poll. Be sure to give Villainous a glance while you're at it.

PREDICTIONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT B6's LATEST STATEMENT THAT THERE WILL BE TWO PRELIM POLLS Okay, as RPGC15 winds to a close within the next few days, it is time to begin the analytical study of RPGC politics. This entry will be constantly updated as the scene shifts and new games enter the playing field. The goal of this research is to predict the final winners of the contest and claim bragging rights if you're correct. Predicting which games will be in which polls is relatively easy. Generally there are 6-10 games in the final poll, and the amount of polls depends on the number of entries. There are 20 valid entries so far, and B6 said this is a two poll spread with likely eight finalists. Based on past games and their polls, you will see that assigning the games to their polls is just based on giving each entry a number. Thus the polls will look something like this if the contest ended at this moment. Poll One Riot! - RueLee Strike of Lightning - Shadow Hydruka Reign of Shadow - DethRaid Night Ride - Parugi Bionicle: The Skrall Wars - Optimus Prime1 Tales of the Afterlife - The True Zedd of BZPower City of Ruins - Mr. Anarchy Kato-nui - TINR Sunder - botaris Intergalactic Storm - Waffles Poll Two Guardian - Asd Yhn Asylum - Twilight Kreuzer Exploitation of Anarchy - Toa of Nerds Villainous - Exo-Fat Mask of Power - Super TOA Hunter The Gale - Rising Moon Merits of Honor: The Fifth Company - Keeper of Kraata Top Secret: Operation Endgame - Tafu Darkness Falls - Kagha City of Steam - Toa of Dancing Final Poll According to Exo: Night Ride - Parugi Tales of the Afterlife - The True Zedd of BZPower City of Ruins - Mr. Anarchy Sunder - botaris Villainous - Exo-Fat The Gale - Rising Moon Top Secret: Operation Endgame - Tafu Darkness Falls - Kagha Here's where things get complicated. You never know what could happen during the final poll. Just look at RPGC14 for an example of that. I ask you these questions: Do you think these predictions are accurate based on the current contest landscape? Which games do you think, in no particular order, will comprise the top three? *The predictions here are subject to change at any time based on any new entries that may spring up.

Betcha you didn't see that coming, all you twelve Imagine players out there.

EW- TPTI- Ah, but there's the point. I'm not going to let Imagine or Villainous fail. And Playground, for all intents and purposes, was actually pretty good. I wouldn't call 40 pages a failure. The problem with IF and AP was that I gave up too early instead of pushing on. As soon as I declared it a failure it became a failure because I stopped trying. Inferna- I know, lol.

1. CoR 2. Darkness Falls 3. Night Ride -Inferna, Guardian Mistress Lack of Villainous makes me cry.

So, I've been thinking lately about BZPower's writing scene. Many people say that their writings are ignored and that authors on BZP don't get the attention they deserve. As examples of BZP's great writers they say GaliGee, Bonesii, Spirit, and xccj. I, however, feel like they leave perhaps the most vibrant part of writing out of the equation. RPGs. Let's face it. More people play RPGs than regularly write and read epics. They are a large and integral part of the community. But why are people such as Koname, Celeste, Robo, and Dr. Bionicle left out of the spectrum of great BZP authors? In fact, I think the only GM that is widely respected among the Library Denizens is Beliwa. So, my question to you is this. Are GMs authors, just of a different writing style? Does the name Kumata Nuva deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Takuta-Nui? Are RPGs truly a form of writing? And which, authors or GMs, are the true "best writers" on BZPower?

Thanks, Emzee.

Spink- Yeah, it's been going since June, lol. TPTI- Yep. JG- Thanks. Well, RPGCs are writing contests, just a different style of writing that's more complex, so actually it isn't my first writing contest win.
