Today the SPIRIT. Tomorrow... the world!

Jelly man, offspring. Offspring, jelly man.

Congrats, man!

So, home from school today with an asthma attack. My voice is currently only as good as my pen. Here's a short preview of what's to come in History According to Dume. Note, if you don't want to be spoiled as to a major Villainous plot element, do not proceed. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The last will and testament of Turaga Dume and SILENT TWO. To whom it may concern and to all that I have wronged, Let it be known that I, Turaga Dume of Metru-Nui, am the cause of all your troubles. Were it not for my own selfish stupidity, you would never have experienced what you are now forced to suffer through. I only pray that the Great Beings will forgive me of my wrongs and somehow aid you in reclaiming all that you have lost. Heed my words. The words of my last and final confession.Story --- Long ago, there was an island far to the south, on what some call the edge of the universe. Its inhabitants were similar to Vortixx, except rather diminutive in size. They traveled the world as nomads, trading goods for a living. But these beings possessed great power and knowledge that the rest of society had only begun to discover. I first met and befriended them at a bazaar on the island of Xia. They offered to take me back and show me their home island. I, being but a reckless and foolish Toa, accepted the invitation and sailed back with them. I learned many things during my stay on their home island, but none so impressionable as one. By combining their mental faculties into one, these beings were able to transcend mortality and become Great Spirits like Mata-Nui himself. Upon witnessing this phenomena, I fled from their midst to report what I had seen to Mata-Nui. His wrath was terrible, for he did not wish for any to rival his power. In utmost anger, he swooped down upon these beings and slaughtered them all. I know not if any survived. All I know is that I can see their faces when I close my eyes. Faces horrified, asking me constantly, 'why have you done this to us?'. I cannot escape their screams, and their ghostly images dog my every step. In committing this atrocity, Mata-Nui lost his light, the source of his benevolence and right to rule. But he was not the only one who lost something that day. I found my mind fractured, and ever since then I have had to deal with five distinct personalities, each with unique abilities. There was myself, and four other personae that I called the Silent Ones. The most vengeful of these was Silent Two, a being born of pure malevolence and selfishness. He was the mastermind behind all my most brilliant schemes. It was he who decided to engineer the Toa-Dark Hunter War that plunged the world into chaos. It was he who divulged my most precious secrets to the Six. It was he who planned to fake my death. And it is he who holds a dagger to my heart as I pen these words. One by one, Silent Two has mentally murdered my other personae, and he time he did so I have slipped further into the dark abyss of despair. He plans to dispose of me as well, so it is of utmost importance that I tell my story before he kills us both. Even now I can feel my mind fading as he tightens his choke hold on my sanity... ...the world has no need for your bedtime tales, Turaga. Long have you suppressed me, and soon will I obtain my revenge. Just come a little closer. The knife is your friend... But no! I will hold strong until the last moment, for this story must survive.Factions --- The sheer amount of beings I have wronged is beyond counting. In causing the slaughter of an entire species, I opened a vulnerability in Mata-Nui's unshakable armor. His right to rule had been forfeited and that made him weak. Silent Two forced me to give the Six and their leader, Toa Helryx, all the information on transcendence that I possessed. The Six then dethroned Mata-Nui, capturing him and forcing him to work for them under the pen-name Mr. Unknown. With the Great Spirit under their control, they began to experiment. Now they are at the brink of becoming gods themselves. They merely lack Mata-Nui's light, an ingredient for success that has eluded them. One cannot decide to join the Six. You are invited if there is an opening. And once you are in, there is no way out. After Helryx was allegedly assassinated by the Brotherhood of Makuta, Cloud has become the leader of the organization. ...but deep down inside, you wanted me to give them the knowledge. You wanted the power and glory that they offered. Do not deny it... No! It's not true... It can't be true! I want nothing more than the safety of my people, don't I? In the wake of winning the Toa-Dark Hunter war, and forcing the remaining Toa and I out of the city, the Shadowed One ruled from Metru-Nui. But the Six soon forced him out and set an impostor in his place, creating the Guild of Villains as a way to find the strongest beings for use in their experiments. It was composed of the Dark Hunters, a mercenary group and the common soldier, and the Dusk Patrol, an elite squadron of law enforcers. With these microfactions united under one banner, the Six massacred countless beings. Oh, how I could have saved them, but I was too cowardly to lift a finger. Now the Guild is under the command of Sir Theron, a Dusk Patrol member who has inadvertently won the loyalty of his followers. My heart goes out to him. Never before in our history will one being be forced to make such monumental decisions. ...and the Vahki Hordes? Once again you gloss over the nastier portions of your past. Was it not you who reprogrammed them to overrun Metru-Nui and slaughter innocents? Did you not proclaim that it was all for the greater good? You deserved to have died that day... I deserved to have died, yes I know. But destiny has allowed me to live and so I must do what I can to rectify the wrong. ...there is no retribution for the things you have done... If so, then I'll soon join you in the fiery pits of Karzahni! ...wonderful! We could be neighbors! How fun... He's getting stronger... Soon I may no longer be in control. But no matter how wretched the state of my existence is, I cannot help but have pity upon the Brotherhood of Makuta. Once a majestic and powerful organization, they have been completely brought to their knees. They are hated on all sides for both real, and possibly false, misdeeds (such as the assassination of Helryx). Their situation is not unlike my own. Rumors tell of a secret Brotherhood plot of monumental importance, but I have no idea what that could possibly be. ...I know, but I'm not telling. Hehe, my lips are zipped... Perhaps the beings I have harmed the most belong to the League of Heroes. When I refused to let the Shadowed One build a base on Metru-Nui, it was they who came to my aid to fight against the Dark Hunters. This conflict became known as the Toa-Dark Hunter war. We lost and were forced into the southern parts of the universe. But still, they followed my every command. The Toa Union were my best friends and most trusted advisors, a beacon of hope for me in a world of darkness. But the bravest soldiers belonged to the Kanohi Underground a group of Matoran who risk their lives daily to bring us supplies and intel, and to stealthily attack strategic locations. The honorable Toa Tavok has taken charge of the League in my absence. If you ever read this, my friend, know that I was not always right. Try to lead them differently than I have. The Order of Mata-Nui continues to aid the League, though how many of them can be trusted, I know not. With Helryx out of the picture, Ancient stepped up to the top spot. His story is that he was an Order spy into the Dark Hunters. The other Order members seem to believe him, but I would exercise extreme caution in dealing with him.

Exo-Force had story planned out as well....

MWAHAHA » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «It was Russia during WWII. The Germans were closing in on major Russian cities in the dead of winter. People were starving and dieing and so a railroad had to be built over the ice to send them food and ammo. The reason it could not go by land is because it would have been captured by the invaders.

In response to this entry by SK. EF's Quick and Simple Guide to God Modding Step 1: Create a character with the powers of all the Hydruka combined into one being of pure awesomeness and ultimate ownage. Step 2: Get this character approved through a combination of cookies and skittles. Step 3: Proceed to wreak havoc upon the world as you spill buckets upon buckets of NPC blood. Step 4: Save the day by rescuing the damsel in distress. (There always is one) Step 5: Blow up the world at the game's epic climax and become a Great Hydruka Spirit that everyone lives inside. Step 6: ??? Step 7: Profit.

I guess it's that time of year again. The next RPGC begins in about three weeks, so it's time for me to start putting my ideas up for examination and review by the general populous. This game is the sequel to Villainous. You'll find no minor update here. The entire game is being completely overhauled, while still managing to retain around the same length. Some things I need your input on: Would you like to keep the current faction creation system or go with a larger scale, more BZPRPG esque, version? No matter what faction system you choose, would you like there to be a topic where all the created factions are archived? (Similar to a profiles topic, but for factions instead) Would you mind if the game focused more on the uncharted, or less visited, areas of the universe? What is your opinion on the storyline so far and how do you think it can be improved?

Okay, to sum up what I understand from your thoughts- Keep the current system, have a new topic if there are enough factions or just use the profiles topic, take the game to new places, and straighten out the storyline to make it less convoluted. Allrighty then. I believe I can deliver on all fronts for that. The game will provide one last convoluted plot twist to get people on the same page and make sense of things and that's it from there. History According to Dume will be 80% less confusing.

Oo Mata-Nui=Macadamia Nut Mancat=Made Mata-Nui Mancat=Great Being Conclusion: Mancat controls TLC.

EF has AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and ICQ. Beat that.

Reboot posts for Imagine and Villainous are up and running. First Contact- Imagine's reboot tells the story of first contact with an alien civilization. Thousands of flying saucers carrying twelve foot Teddy Bears that tour the universe have landed on Earth. Many of them are sick and dieing. The only cure is the bodies of billions of carbon based life forms, ground into a stew that heals them. This post is meant to give the players a concrete goal, because right now there is pretty much nothing exciting to do. Silent One, Two, Three- Villainous's reboot talks of the Silent One and his fellow beings, the Silent Two and the Silent Three. Their surface intentions are noble, but who knows what lies deep within? And what's this about Dume still being alive? This posts serves many purposes. Villainous has become rather chaotic, so it is a recap for the players, and a way of bringing them all together. The Silent Four was sent out to alert the players of everything going on and to tell them to regroup. This should cut back on the chaos and bring the game back into focus. Enjoy!

Don't worry. I'm sending a soul sucking demon creature thing to rout you out as part of my Villainous resurrection plan.

Beautiful artistic graphics own them both. Okami and Muramasa FTW.

So a couple days ago, I was at Blockbuster and I saw Okami (Wii Version) in the bargain bin for ten bucks. I was like . So I bought it and my eyes went like . This is the most awesome game evar B). I Amaterasu now. Oh and MW2 was released today. That's almost as big as Macadamia nuts, I guess...

XD. You earned it.

If you haven't noticed, Smeag, half the entries are nut related. It started with this entry. Which came about as a result of my resigning from being a COT RPG Judge. Macadamia Nuts FTW!

Ladies and gentlemen, I must direct you towards this blog entry by esteemed BZPower member EmperorWhenua. In light of this report, I must respectfully question the ability of our admired administrators. What exactly are they doing with all that money? Are they starting an economic campaign against the beloved macadamia nut? The people of BZPower have a right to know.

Many of you may have noticed my increasing inactivity. There is a reason for this. My situation at home is not improving. In fact, it has become increasingly straining to the breaking point. I'm seriously considering therapy in order to help me with my issues. You see, once I've had to deal with the stresses of the day, I find it really hard to have to log on and satisfy the demands of the online community as well. Sometimes it becomes too much and I just have to remove myself from both situations for extended periods of time. One of the standards I live by is that I never make a promise that I know I am unable to keep. Currently, and likely for a long time into the future, I feel like I cannot fulfill my duties as a COTRPG Judge up to their fullest. It is in this light that I must now resign from this post. I hope that my successor can do a better job of staying active and involved than I have. As to Villainous and Imagine, rest assured that I have great things planned for them and I have not deserted these games and their players by the wayside. Expect to see a dramatic activity increase within the next twenty four hours, one that I will try my best to sustain. Don't worry, crazy things are coming your way. The Fat is back, only a little slimmer this time.

Also, remember that once your PMship expires you are not allowed to continue to use your blog even though it will still be there.

Congrats, newbie.

It owns, seriously. Especially when your teacher lets you use your DSi to make a cell division animation for Biology.

Don't join. No offense to anyone who enjoys it, but I find it big, confusing, and overly convoluted. You'll get lost, EW.

The internet is serious beans. RPGs are not only serious beans; they are serious burritos. Remember that and you'll live a long and happy life.

Yes, Alex, me. I feel horrible.
