I wholeheartedly endorse this poll.

As the topic suggests, I have created a Topic Archive content block. This block links to all my relevant topics, which include MOCs, artwork, and stories but omit any answered questions or disproven theories (including my far-too-hopeful Aquaraiders theory from a while back). If anyone remembers any topics I have neglected to include, post it here. Remember, you are my last hope that the creative abilities of Aanchir: Rachira of Time can be shown to the general public. With all due respect, Aanchir: Rachira of Time

I was not on a computer at all yesterday, which is a first for me. Anyway Happy Holidays from the Twilight Realm. Also, things that Kohaku got(Some I got with money I got): The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess DS Lite Bionicle Sets (Full list coming soon) Classic Controller (Wii) Wireless Router And I have one more Zelda thing that will make many of you jealous, but that'll wait... Also, I had Christmas on the 23rd, so I was happy. Kohaku

Merry Christmas, BZP. I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.

Hey, guys--this is a quick callout to any of my fellow "S&T geeks" for the Storyline FAQ Topic. As you guys probably know, I haven't been able to pay much attention to BZP this fall due to tons of college homework. Well, the FAQ's topic's last additions (aside from one I just made, which reminded me ) were from early 2006, so there's probably a lot of frequently asked questions that could be added for later 2006 and the leadup to 2007. That topic works by linking to S&T topics where someone's asked the common question, it's been answered well, and usually the topic was closed because the answer was provided. Being out of it, I obviously haven't any idea which topics those are. So, anybody got some suggestions? Anything you guys have answered, have seen answered, have in your tracked topics list, or if you're staff there, have closed? You can comment suggestion links here or post them in the FAQ topic itself.

I was going to write this on a Wii, but after trying to send a PM that didn't even go through, I decided not to. Just using the Wii to surf the Internet is going to be a pain unless the USB keyboard is somehow integrated. First off, it's hard to type when I have to move my "mouse" to each individual letter; yes, I know some suggested words come up, but if what I'm typing is short or not even listed, those suggestions are pointless. Second, I don't want to waste batteries while trying to get to each letter either. (Way to make something mundane even worse!) I know it's a Beta version, but if it's a hint of things to come, surfing the Wiib is just not going to be that much fun. Well, I guess we'll find out how things go when the final version is released in March. Right now, all it's good for is doing simple tasks... BZP-related things is just not one of them for me. For now, I'm sticking to my computer for most things; although, I do have some ideas for the Wii and its browser. ©1984-2006 Toaraga EAM

So, over the course of the past few contests, there have been some complaints that it's difficult for new RPGs to break into the top few that keep getting into the finals poll for the past few contests. I, personally, don't see an issue in the fairness of the contest, but I'm all for making as many people happy as possible. So, here's my idea, as it stands: RPG Contest Pro/Amateur System The system divides the entrants into two categories which separates them during the initial stages of voting. To be in the 'Pro' category, the RPG entry must have been in the final poll of at least one of the last two RPG Contests. If an entry won any RPG contest, it also qualifies for the 'Pro' category. This is completely optional, if a member does not want their entry in this category, that's fine. All other entries will fall into the 'Amateur' category. The two sections of voting will go on simultaneously. In all likelihood, there will be very few entries in the 'Pro' section, meaning fewer rounds of voting. Once both have narrowed down the entries, the top five from each will go into the final poll to decide on the overall winners. And that's it. Please note the 'Pro' and 'Amateur' names are temporary, the best I could think of at the time. In fact, everything is still in flux, and I am open to any suggestions for improving it. Do people even want to see such changes implemented, or are they fine with the current system? I want to hear from you guys! PS - GO VOTE in RPG Contest #4!

Okay, so most of us by now know that clicking the above button allows us to quote more than one person within a single topic without having to copy and paste (total time saver). But how many people know that you can use this feature to carry over posts to another topic? Though the use of this feature can be somewhat limited in necessity, it is useful nonetheless. ©1984-2006 Toaraga EAM

Or at least what's left of it. Yes, I am talking about topic revival. I mean, even Omi knows it's evil. It has to be a direct spawn of the devil. You kill it, and it just keeps coming back. However, we can fight topic revival. Oh yes. JUST DON'T REVIVE TOPICS! Here, I've even composed a list of topic revival periods in every forum. Well, I did this months and months ago, but it's still accurate. Please, help me out here. I still have a contest to assist in, I can't be dying on you guys now. Q&A- generally none Contest Voting forum - none BZP Library- generally none BS01- generally none Blogs - none Sets- 20 Collectibles- 20 BBC- 20 Artwork I- 20 Artwork II- 20 Artwork III- 20 G&T- 20 B/S/T- 20 Marketplace Banter- 20 BZP Voting Booth- 20 News Discussion/Talkback- 30 RPG- 30 LGD- 30 COT- 30 S&T- 30 Promotions- 30 Software- 30 M&B- 30 GD- 30

Why, none other than µµ. I am not sure if BZP will show that, but µ is the Greek letter mu. Put two together and what do you get? mumu! And yes, mumu has now been blogged, with his blog: The Precious Milk So let's all walk on over and check out our favorite Chinchilla's blog, shall we? ~U

It took a while to figure out, but I finally found a way to give my readers on BZPower access to a sample of Endless Night, the song featured in my SSC3 entry. Copy and paste the following URL into your address bar and it should open it up in Windows Media Player or a similar program. Sorry I can't provide a direct link, but the brackets in the URL prohibit me from doing that. I can't link to the source either, because it has forums. http://lebom.com/audio/The%20Lion%20King%20[Original%20Broadway%20Cast]/Ensemble_Endless_Night.mp3 The song is from the Broadway stage production of The Lion King, and is not featured on any CDs (to my knowledge) except for two: The original broadway cast recording and a CD you can buy at the play that contains just five songs. I have the five-song version. If this song influences your enjoyment of my songfic, post comments there. General comments about the song go in this entry. Share and enjoy! -

You know, as I sit here, waiting for various things to fall into their places, I take a look around at BZP -- at all the good and joy that circulates around. And of course this is thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff, but there are also another group of folks who work hard and love BZP. Namely, the good folks like you all (you know who you are XD). And here on BZP, there's this system thing of proto, PE, what-have-you, etc. and once someone reaches a full bar, they became an OBZPC, which basically recognizes that that person is a good BZP citizen and is very helpful (now there may be a few who try to cheat the system, but let's put those aside for this'n). But of course, is every helpful person an OBZPC? Heck no. Otherwise that slim minority would be a bit bigger now So why am I writing this? Well I hope he won't mind if I use Toa Lhikan Hordika, my good buddy here on BZP, as an example here. Now, as you see a few entries down, I became an OBZPC, under a year no less... However, I now recall a time when I was talking to TLH, and he said that he was trying to become an OBZPC under two years, that it was like his mini-dream. Not a goal, because he's not trying to get it, but something that he hope just happens under two years. Unfortunately, the days dragged on and he still is one PE away from OBZPC. But does he deserve it less than I? Heck no! If anything, he and many others like him deserve it more than I do. He's been here for over two years, and has had around 3000 or so posts of helpfulness. I'm not even a year here, and somewhere around 1700 posts now? Anyway, the point of this entry is, is to give my toasts to those who ought to have such a gracious title, but for whatever reason, don't have it yet. However, that doesn't mean you don't deserve it or didn't earn it any less *Cheers * ~U

I haven't really built any MOCs since before Brickfest: I think that really put a strain on my creativity and desire to MOC. Though I wanted to MOC something, I just didn't feel fully compelled to do so; weep not though, for BBCC #39 gave me a reason to MOC. One complaint people are giving is the color restrictions, but that's what makes things interesting. Utilizing my means within the confines of the rules, I am making a group of small MOCs which are unlike anything I've done before... I'm not sure anyone has, but it is possible. (Think house, only even more different than that.) Quitters give up with little or no trying. It's fine if you just don't want to participate in a building competition or for whatever reason truly cannot enter, but blaming restrictions for your lack of motivation is just a sad excuse. At least try to do something; nothing easy was ever worth accomplishing. If you blame restrictions for why you're not entering the contest, be forewarned that your MOCing skills will never improve. Hunks of junk come from putting all sorts of pieces together; masterpieces arise from challenging the mind and putting the pieces together correctly. So get out there and build: there's still a little over a week to enter: that is usually about the amount of time I allot to BBC contest building (it's usually the first or second week). It's not because I don't want to enter or want to enter a terrible MOC: it's just that I have other things I have/want to do as well. But no matter the restrictions, I do my best to enter. I'll admit a lot of them were pretty awful now that I look at them, but at least I tried. And I don't regret that.

I know I have done this before, but I am doing it again, cuz I can. BZP has a wonderful community, but it wouldn't be the way without you guys. So this is for you all. -Omi

Official BBC Contest #39: Deck the Halls! Yeah, it's here. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, I've gotten 31 PMs related to it. Yeah. A few things need to be said, though: 1. Please, please, please ask all questions in the entry topic. I hate PMs, and rule number two even states that you should ask all questions in that topic. 2. If you see an entry that you feel doesn't meet the requirements of the theme, then you should PM a contest staff member (Tufi Piyufi, -Shannara-, or myself). How would you feel if somebody just told you that you were disqualified from a contest? It's not a very pleasant thing to do (which is why the puffin does it). It's something best kept strictly to PM. 3. Have fun!!!

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension — a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone. Wait... its not the Twilight Zone, its the Twilight Realm. Well, I said I was going to change my blog a few months back, and I finally did get around to changing it. Welcome to The Twilight Realm. As you've noticed I now have images in many of the content blocks on the left. Although, I'm not done yet. I have more to add. Also, my previous content blocks are still around, I just removed them. They may return someday. Hope you enjoy the new look to my blog. Kohaku

I'm probably going to change my username soon. EDIT: Forget It Yoshi

Well I didn't expect that coming Yesterday, around late night, I had went to check out BZPower before I'd go to sleep. When the page loaded, BZP said I had a new PM. So, like a normal person, I checked it out. Originally I thought Greg was replying to a PM of mine, but as it turns out, it was a PM for a proto boost! I read the PM, and I was given it for just doing what I normally do in the S&T and such, etc. etc. So yea, yesterday was a pretty good day. I mean, I don't care if I get a full bar, but as you all know, it's always nice Funny that I was joking with bones that I'd become an OBZPC before I was even at BZP for a year -- well I didn't acually expect that to happen Something that I didn't joke about with bones, was that if I did get a PE for something, I wanted it to be for helping out around the forums (specifically S&T, you know ) not for news blurbs (like the one I had just gotten from bones at the time for helping him find things here and there for his news article). So it was ironic and touching to receive my last proto from mumu for just helping out around the S&T ~U *sniffle*

So I was a bit bored one day, and decided that my username needed a little spice. My solution? Add a dash to both ends of my username. I was pretty unexpectedly made an ST before I got the chance to remove the symbols myself. So I just stuck with them... Until today. Decided to ask one our friendly neightborhood admins for a name change, as staff members don't even have the option to change their name in their CP, to avoid confusion. And since it was just a matter of removing two little symbols, it wasn't a big deal. I was still Kex all along. I lol'd everytime someone called me -Kex-. Just a heads up.
