LGD Contest #5 Results Topic First off, I'd like to congratulate Sidorak The Hunter who took first. And Time Agent who took 3rd. Who got second? I happened to get second by one vote. Which made it close near the end. Anyway the prize I win is a 1-year premier membership which I will be transferring due to the fact that I already have a Lifetime premier membership. Be sure to congratulate them in the topic. Citadel of Despair Kohaku

For the first time since I became Kohaku, I have changed my avatar. (Not including fads which may or may not have existed. ) [insert gasping sound here] The person in my avatar is Byakuya Kuchiki. (The link takes you to the Wikipedia article on him.) Byakuya is from the extremely awesome anime BLEACH. If you have yet to see this anime, I recommend it. Kohaku

"Yeppers deppers peppers snappers." --- "I wonder who realized I've only been here a year." --- "What a good first year *reminisces*." --- "You know that's right." --- Many thoughts going through my head at this time. Mostly my BZP life flashing before my eyes (no, I'm not dying). I don't remember signing up exactly, but I remember that after I did I had to wait for a few weeks to be able to post and everything -- I think that as I was still waiting authorization, I was slightly turned down by it all, and went back over to the BS01 Wiki for a month or so. Then around March, I made my first post -- simple minded post; I could link to it now and I'd probably wonder what I was thinking about the time. But anyway, I made a few posts at the start -- mostly in the BS01 forums whenever wiki chaos ensued. Then around late May/early June, I started to get into the swing of things in posting -- moving on over to the S&T. It wasn't until July-ish, when BS01 went down (*sniff* ), that I really started to post like a mad-man (like the mad-man I am ). Things then just took their natural course I guess... Then in November, I became an OBZPC, but that didn't last long because in January of this year I was promoted to RKism. I also broke my small post rank of 2,000 posts in my first year. Yea... I'd say this was a good year guys. It's fun to reminisce about the past -- see how I've grown and whatnot. And I must say -- I really have To go from the guy who didn't want to have anything to do with posting, to the guy who now happily posts and happily serves the staff as a Reference Keeper, it's been a grand year. To another fine year on BZP! *Toasts* ~U

I notice members are sporting Star Wars themed avatars and banners. Was there some sort of fad going on? -Omi

- Lemon Club Challenge - I thought we might as well have a bit of lemon-based fun, having a Lemon Club and all. Your challenge is to... Make a Toa of Lemons. This can be a MOC, a drawing, a sculpture, a 3D rendered image, a Lemon carved into a Toa - anything you like. To enter, post a pic of your entry in the comments for this blog entry. There are no colour restrictions (though Lemons usually are yellow), no size limits. However you interpret it is fine. Entries will stop being accepted on the 25th February. This is simply a chance to show your creative skills, but Bundalings and I might chose one we like the most, and give them a banner, or something. I haven't decided yet. Any member of the Lemon Club can take part. If you aren't a member, you can join by posting in this Blog entry. Good luck. -Aero-

First off, I'd like to say there is currently no one by the name of Member X (which is really kind of surprising). Anyway, this is not whether or not Member X does or does not exist or whether said will or will not exist. What I'm writing about is posting to let everyone know you sent a Personal Message to a certain member. Yes, you might be posting to let the person know you sent him/her a PM or asking if said member got your PM, but when you post it, you're also telling everyone else this information. Let me get to the point: THIS IS SPAM. If said member does not see you sent them a PM, posting to notify or ask is not only not necessary, it's an unwanted post. If you are unsure whether the person got the PM, contact that person again, only if it is necessary. As I and others have said, it is not always necessary to reply to every PM. If you and someone else are working out something, then communication is necessary; therefore, it is necessary to reply. Remember that a lot of people do have lives outside BZP, and the server may not work like it's supposed to when they are on. Perhaps s/he got your PM but was unable to respond before having to deal with other things and/or just forgot. It happens; that's life, and you're not the center of the universe. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with sending another PM after a considerable amount of time if you feel the other person missed, forgot, or otherwise didn't get to your PM. Just don't go overboard with constantly PMing to ask for an update, as neither you nor I always knows what's going on with everyone else. Besides, PM space is more limited for some than others, and the more PMs you send to the person you are trying to contact, the more space you take. Back to my original point, don't post just to say you sent a PM to someone else, especially if that's all you're saying. It's one thing to make it apart of a conversation, but don't make it the conversation point. If you really want to know if anyone reads your PMs, just check the box marked for tracking them. Note: This does not exactly apply to the Official Greg Discussion Topic, as that's how we get our answers from his questions; of course, we do already know you have to PM him to talk to him. So saying you PM'd him is really kind of a moot issue. ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

I told you guys that Ewoks are evil. And you didn't believe me. Beware the Ewok suicide bomber from Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. Fear us! We will rule! *Evil laugh* -Wicket

Where does the time go? Have I done so little and learned so much, or have I done so much and learned so little? So much has happened since I was first asked to join the staff. *Cues cheesy flashback music* *Cuts and replaces with a song about memories* *Is told the second song is worse and to stop singing* Yeah, so much has happened, not just on BZP either, but that's another entry for another day... or you could just read my past entries. Good times. ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

Hi! I am a new premier member and I am glad to be a part of BZPower! What a great site this is. I think that I'll kick this off with a brief history of my time here in BZPower. The Beginning[ In January, I was struggling on the original Bionicle GBA game, where you are Takua and have to rescue Turaga and collect the Toa stones. I was stuck with fighting the Kofo-Jaga in Po-Wahi, and I got desperate to make it through. I got online to Bionicle.com and on their message boards, I found a reference to BZPower. When I first got on as a guest, I looked around and one member was upset, because he had turned thirteen and his father was trying to force him to give up Bionicle. ("He was too old.") I wonder what ever happened to him? Anyway, finally on the night of April 16, I convinced my mother to let me get an account. I joined as Taka-Toa Of Light. Soon I got a PM from someone known as theinfectedkranakal; he and I began to become great friends. I haven't seen him in a long while, though... My Major Topics ---WARNING: Some of these old topics might not be locked, so do not post on them.--- "Toa Of Faith?"-April 27 2003 My first topic was about a Toa of Faith. My reasoning behind the possibility of it was that before the Toa fought Makuta, Tahu said these words: "Where wisdom and valor fail, all that remains is faith. And it can overcome all." The thread failed miserably. It threatened to become a flame war-and soon after start is was closed by-I think-The Fallen One. "Kanohi Nuva Collection"-April 30, 2003 This was one of them good 'ol post-it-here topics. It was asking for everyone to post their collections of Kanohi Nuva. It got into a hot topic level, and was locked by Bionicle Rex. "Silver Kanohi Nuva!?"-May 1 2003 I got the krana-kal pack, and if you remember, it had Kanohi Nuva in it. And in it was something unexpected: silver Kanohi Nuva. It also failed miserably. I also got laughed at by a Moderator who is retired. "Should we-..."-May 2003 ...start a riot for more Matoran? I was upset that in 2003 they weren't releasing Kongu or Onepu. It got closed by The Fallen One, and I lost a PE point for trying to start a riot for more Matoran. I got it back, though, because I was new. My big mistake there was a lack of vocabulary. I think that the word I was meaning was protest. "Grr...my mom won't let me..."-June 2004? (Link Unavailable) ...become a premier member. This topic isn't relevant now because I am now a premier member. But I will say that it was my first major hot topic, and got me up to the #1 Hot Topic. It was closed my mfuss903. "What set do you think is cutest?"-October 5, 2006 Title says it all. This one got onto the top ten hot topics. "What would Macku's reaction be..."-October 23, 2006 ...to Hewkii becoming a Toa? The title and description say it all. This one also made it to the top ten hot topics. ------- Right now I am working on my epic, Bionicle: Law Of Darkness, and eagerly await your reviews on its review topic. Its characters are personified as MOCs here. My Name History Taka-Toa Of Light Takanuva-Toa Of Light Takanuva Mastra Hero Of BZP Takua Nuva-Toa Of Light Takani Of The Enduring Fire Toa Takani-The Lone Seeker Takani-The Lone Seeker Takani-The Fiery Armored One Takani-Toa Of Fire Coming soon: Tahima My Folly I became a hypocrite on BZP sometime in late 2003, to be short, and it lost me 3 proto points. One time I requested Premier Membership without the money and lost another point. I gained three back out of actually becoming a Premier Membership-but that wasn't why I got the membership. I got kind of BZP depressed about the Proto Energy after that in 2006, and even was tempted to start over by making a dupe account, because I was embarrassed to go out onto the forums with a single proto energy point. I found a moderator to talk to, and he helped me out by helping me overcome my temptation. And I am trying to turn a new leaf, believe me, I am. I see a bright new era in the future of my time at BZP. Sincerely, Toa Takani (Call me Tahima...)

Title means (The swords flashed and burned.) And now to shatter any reputation I have... I'm a little Ewok, short and stout, Here is my fur and here is my snout. Baa moit na hay goo-ip too cah. Vade soy oto gubu. Nu wunday, nee a wundy, nee a gro-libu. (We've come to seek your aid in fighting these enemies. Please help us.) *Parts of this were written in Ewokese, language of the Ewoks. -Wicket Wystri Warrick

After fiddling around with various hex codes, I've decided that silver doesn't work too well on BZP, because of the pale blue background. So now I'm using bold #243042, apparently. It fits pretty well with the Rift, I think. -Aero-

Dear Reader, If you have paid attention to the world around you over the course of your life, you are probably well aware that certain unpleasant characteristics are to be found on the faces of many people, just as they are to be found on many people's left ankles. The Baudelaire orphans were exempt from many of these conditions, having inherited their mother's pleasant facial features, but sadly, there are many who do suffer from such unfortunate facial features. Shiny eyes, for instance, are typical of all sorts of people, including former presidents of large businesses, or certain well-renowned actresses. A frightening voice can be heard in most of Al Funcoot's plays, or at performances by people who take up yodeling in deserts as a hobby. Brilliant smiles have been seen on actors in toothpaste commercials, and on the city's sixth most important financial advisor, back when smiling was in. However, the three aforementioned features, when together, will usually describe only villainous people, such as Count Olaf or one of the six Piraka, as the case is here. You are probably better off avoiding my latest story, Smile!, which contains such unpleasantries as poor working conditions, the Mask of Life, the mass slaughter of mining supervisors, comfortable lodging in the home of a notorious villain, a song by The Gothic Archies, and protodites. One can only hope that you will have the good judgement not to read this story, lest you add a perennial, a word which here means "eternal," frown to your personal guise. With all due respect, Aanchir: Rachira of Time

On your left you will now see many new Twilight Princess images. Many just show off the awesomeness of the game now that I have started my second playthrough. Although I am also playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past via the virtual console. Enjoy the new darker feel of the blog... and it isn't that dark if you take a look at the lowest content block. Kohaku

I didn't like Seran. It was a shorter version of Seranikai, a character from my novels. It sounded a bit like 'Sarah' to me. So I wanted a better name. Sleeker. Dynamic. -Aero-

I may have fooled a couple of you into thinking that my favourite colour is blue. Or navy, to be precise. But it isn't. It's actually silver. So I'll be posting in that from now on. I'm also contemplating a name change, so so don't hesitate to tell me if you have any good ideas. I've done it. -Seran

Okay, so I've noticed a trend of RPGs (that's Role-Playing Games, not Rocket-Propelled Grenades or whatever else it could stand for) down in Completely Off Topic lately. Now I have nothing against them, but there certainly are a lot of them. Too much product without limitation often causes lethargy. Yes, you have choices, but where should you begin? If you don't figure out what you want to do, you stop moving. So to keep some order and prevent flooding of them in the forum, I'll be limiting approval. No, this doesn't mean I'm going to automatically be saying no to your RPG: it just means I won't be approving everyone of them right as they arrive. At most, I'll probably only approve a few each week to allow for these games to get their feet off and running. If you want your game to succeed, you have allow for some breathing room. I won't give a definitive number because things can happen, causing the number to change. Rest assured, if you have submitted an RPG idea, and I have not gotten back to you, it doesn't mean I've denied your game. It means I may not have read it yet; in which case, I'm not ready to approve any games just yet. Or it could mean I'm looking it over, seeing if something can be improved before its "released." I'm also planning something right now and have other things to take care of, so be patient until I get around to you. If you're too impatient, then the answer will most likely be no because patience is often necessary if you wish to be a leader. In essence, if you are a game's starter, you are its leader. Besides, being pushy only pushes away. ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

It has come to my attention that a certain forum here on BZPower has been slowly dying. You might be wondering which one (otherwise you wouldn't be reading this), and I'm going to tell you. Every time I visit the Short Story Forum, I see (at most and if lucky) about 4 members other than me there. Not many people take the time to read Short Stories anymore, and I find that sad. For example, I wrote a Short Story entitled "Skullduggery" which was the tale of Kopaka's journey to Makuta (when all six Toa went their separate ways and fought the Shadow Toa). It was very long (in my opinion) and I thought that it was worth reading. Apparently not. I had about 50 views (give or take), but no reviews. In most forums, there are about 5-6 pages of topics that have been posted in within the past 30 days. The Short Story Forum has only 2. So, if you're not bored and haven't left, then you'll now hear my point (or rather, read my point). I know that there are many talented writers out there with many ideas to bring to us, so I encourage anybody with some words spinning around in their head to type it out for us to read! Save the Short Stories forum! <I>Kobra<I>

Being a staff member is a big responsibility that few people get to experience, but if you think about it, a blog is like a personal forum where you are the staff. It's not a full-blown forum: it's more like a mini forum, where you get to have some creative control over the layout and decide what to talk about. (Yes, there are certain restrictions to both.) And the only people with the same powers or more are the actual designated BZP staff. So if you want some of the experience of being a moderator, go Premier and get a blog. Granted, the powers aren't the exact same, but you will get a little feel of what it's like to be a staff member. ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

So it's a little bit late, but Jo is now in the Temperance Final Poll for BBC 40! As always, any and all votes for her are appreciated... And while you're at it, if you haven't voted yet, vote for Xirgath in the Fortitude Final Poll! Xirgath is a great embodiement of Fortitude, and I maintain that Toro ought to win his category. As Toro said at the beginning of the contest, it's Clash of the Titans all over again – Seran, Shadrahk, and I all in the same poll... Yeesh... ~ToM
