Hahli Husky

Better as a poll, so I edited one in to the topic.

Merged the two topics about this into one, since posts were piling up; left in News Discussion so as to be easily found from the news story on the front page.

Yeah it can be really testy like that. It took me about 40 minutes just to find one topic and get it to display well. Some years look better than others. Not sure of what else to use since the Google caches were written over by the blank pages, but if anyone finds another way, please feel free to share.

I did an excited little dance that I usually did when ~productivity~ was in full swing. "We are gonna rock them with Lincoln Logs yoooooooo!"

Arpy crossed his arms with pride. "And Lincoln Logs are definitely a million times better than LEGO."

As an ex-rock farmer, I hurried to move the rocks Sumiki indicated. A fort was the perfect idea at this point, and seemed like a good way to honor our first fallen comrade. The other team was also unpredictable enough that ambush was highly possible at this point. And speaking of which ...

"What sort of things should we use for fort defense?" I called out to the others. "Besides boiling oil, which unfortunately we don't have."

I wrote this songfic comedy where Hewkii and Jaller (as Matoran) sang a modified version of The Beach Boy's California Girls to Hahli and Macku and it was so embarrassing from about 4 months later until ... well, it's still embarrassing now, honestly.

Exactly how often will the entry list be updated?

When I feel like it/remember to.

 

1. We were thinking Titans = mechanical and monsters=organic for this contest.

 

Wait, what? That was never specified. My entry is still valid, isn't it?

 

It wasn't specified up front, but if you didn't adhere to this, it's fine. It's not set in stone or anything.

I have a few questions regarding restrictions on applicable titan and monster designs:

• [*]Do the titans and / or monsters have to be living things? Specifically, I'm wondering if automated robots would be allowed on both sides of the aisle, just one, or none.[*]Do the titans and / or monsters have to

resemble living things? To clarify, I mean to ask if titans and / or monsters must look like a living thing (e.g. a dragon or a giant robot) and thus cannot look vehicular (e.g. a tank or airship).[*]How much of the titans and / or monsters must actually be seen? If I write a story from the perspective of a character who spends most of the plot hiding, and the monsters and / or titans mostly influence the plot from off-screen, would the story still be applicable?

 

1. We were thinking Titans = mechanical and monsters=organic for this contest, but whatever.

2. Not really; they both can look as normal or fantastical as you like. If you're imaging a monster who resembles a tank, go for it!

3. A story like that would be fine; the effects of the titans and monsters on others sounds like a cool concept.

I would recommend trying the Internet Wayback Machine to see if you can find what you're looking for. The data is very spotty, especially for caches made when the server gave out busy messages or crashed in the afternoons and evenings (notably between 2005 - 2008.) You might have to navigate extensively, especially since the subforum links on the main forum listing are often broken. I've been able to find a couple things so far. It's upsetting that we weren't able to save our favorite old stuff before the archives were broken, but hopefully that helps some!

Closed and unpinned regarding the recent merger. The consolidated rules topic can be found here.

EVERYONE was watching me apparently, until Ophelia snatched up Sisen. I waved goodbye, thankful that at least he'd be able to rest his ankle. It was a tragic moment for our team. But it was something we had to be prepared for at all times. At Tufi's passive-aggressive shooing, the team collectively winced.

"YES," Makaru announced, then added softly, "In the future, anyway."

The dudebros who had Settled For Something were already planning an awesome camp as they walked away. I could feel a few of my teammates bristle.

We turned towards our old campsite, determined.

We probably weren't as gorgeous as the other team.

But we were tramps.

Long-term homeless staff members who could do anything.

And even if some of us were lost along the way,

We could at least make a campsite worthy of not tearing down the next day.

It would make the other team's campsite cry in its chocolate milk and burn its terrible fanart, too.

But that was just a bonus.

Micah, I voted for you, too

"Aaaahhhh nooooo I'm sorry I tried to distract you also it's not my fault we won and I really didn't have anything to do with it and oh god please don't hurt meeeeeeeee!" Janus blubbered as I dragged him through the bushes. He dragged his heels, but otherwise didn't try to break my grip. I deposited him by a large bula berry tree and then dug through the bag of supplies. When pulled out one of the larger, sharpened Gafna bones, he squealed again.

"OHGOD"

"Ssshhh, cut it out already," I fussed softly. I pulled out one of the polish cans, another of the books, and Kakaru's picture frame, and handed the items to him.

He glared at me. "Did you poison this stuff?"

"YES NOW DIE." I held the items to his face and he jumped. "Will you just take them?"

He regarded me in his fake-caution face, then took the items. "The empress sure wants you to use your heads, huh?"

I shrugged. "We should probably be flattered that she knows we have a chance of figuring it out. Though, if I get voted off, it will be nice to just watch all this on TV in my pajamas. But until then ... "

He pocketed the items and smiled. "What are you plotting?"

"Nothinggggggg. Love you." I smiled back and hugged him for a while, then we headed back towards the beach, holding hands until we got back within sight of our teams. Janus pretended that I had roughed him up, moaning dramatically, and I did my best to look angry again. Hopefully it didn't look like I was hiding a smile.

Tufi held up the wooden Tohu, and seconds later it was snatched out of her hands by a giggling Janus.

It must be noted that superfluously giggling and hand-clapping-while-dancing Janus is a Very Canon Thing.

Sighhhhh ... I guess you won this round, Settlers. But I would sleep with one eye open ~

Becca, you just answered a multiple choice questions as a yes/no.

Due to the recent revisions of the Advertising Policy, can we host our videos on that one video hosting website, or must they still be hosted on Vimeo?

Hahahahahaha I mean YES YOUTUBE IS ALLOWED

I'm gonna be updating the policy for this in the actual Movies and Music forum, but for this contest, yes.

EDIT: Yes as in yes youtube

Since we're not necessarily talking about official LEGO-produced masks, I'm moving this to LEGO discussion.

I dug around in our somewhat-useful bag of stuff. "So uh, Clikit Supertramps. In addition to the sticks ..." Sumiki was already busily gathering more like the beautiful lover of blue cheese farm animal hats he was. Sitting down, I pulled out the picture frame and tossed one of the books on the ground. Hurriedly popping the glass out of the middle of the frame, I nodded to the book. "We need some balls. Paper balls. Also some grass or something."

While it's TOTALLY RAD!!! that we can link to many different websites now, don't forget that, from the advertising policy topic:

Advertising for Bionicle or LEGO sites is permitted. Links to such sites can go in your signature, profile, or blog, or added to discussions as appropriate.

I would recommending putting these links in your signature, profile, or blog if you have one.

Topic closed.

The rest of the gorgeous Team Clikit Supertramps shrugged and headed down to the beach, hair blowing attractively in the breeze, sun-burnt skin glistening.

Whatever

 

Inactive members always have the chance of returning, and some may not wish for their works to be reposted.

 

I would've thought they'd be happy that people like their work enough to preserve it. And if for some reason they really don't want their works reposted here, couldn't they just request their removal?

 

Believe me, I thought about it long and hard before posting these topics. In addition to not knowing the wishes of the previous authors and whether or not they may return and wish to post themselves, the administration and I don't want the Library overrun with old stories. I'm sorry, but the answer will continue to be no.

 

 

You are only allowed to repost stories that were written by you.

 

Why? What about saving stories by inactive members who aren't here to do so themselves?

 

I don't think saving them would technically be an issue, but posting them could create some very... complicated issues.

 

^ This. Inactive members always have the chance of returning, and some may not wish for their works to be reposted. This isn't about trying to preserve the old Library; it's just a chance for active members to continue sharing their works.

We finished gathering up the stuff we wished to take. Arpy and Bfa still hadn't shown up, and at this point, I thought we had a better chance of finding their picked skeletons in the jungle than waiting for them to return. In an amazing and heartwarming display of ~ productivity ~, everyone geared up for their jobs. I grinned.

"Go ahead and start out," I said, pointing vaguely. "I'm going to stand here for a minute and listen for the other team. Just in case. I can't hear anything while you guys are here making racket. After that, I'll catch up, okay?"

They soon disappeared into the foliage, though not before Makaru had turned back and narrowed his eyes at me for a second. I pursed my lips in response, and he turned and left. I waited until I couldn't hear their footsteps or the crackling of branches.

Honestly, it was good to clear other human voices out of my head for a moment. For a game on an uninhabited island, there sure was a lot of talking. But I had another objective.

I moved down closer to the beach. They hadn't said a word when I grabbed the entire bag of Walmart returns from Tufi. I placed a couple cans of shoe polish, a few of the Crazy Taxi discs, and one of the poetry books on the . I traced a heart around them in the dirt. Then I laughed and drew a crude picture of what I knew was Kakaru's Daiso dollar store picture frame, and then a winking face.

I ran after my team, catching them easily. "I think I heard very distant noises, but I'm not sure whether they were voices. Ah we're almost to the stream now! Just up here."

so....why was the topic reposted three times?

To make sure those who frequented only certain Library forums would see the message, and to personalize it in regards to the needs and styles of each forum.

In light of the recent loss of the archives, I am allowing authors to repost their stories that were contained in the Library archives. If you didn't repost them within the limit I had given, back when we moved to this board, you are welcome to post them now.

Please note that there is a feature enabled on these boards that will merge double posts made within a certain time frame. You may wish to repost a chapter once per day.

There is no limit to when you can no longer repost stories. You can do it now, or next year if you wish.

You are only allowed to repost stories that were written by you.

Thank you very much for understanding; feel free to ask any questions here.
