Lads, lasses, gents an' damsels, I give ye: the Limegreen Scourge ^Click for larger version^ In flying mode, the masts split, making room for the montgolfier, which is stored in the deck itself, along with its separate rigging. The panels on the sides slide open to reveal retractable masts for additional steering when airborne. Most of the planking is painted green, whereas the banisters and details are limegreen. The captain's quarters, being the cast-iron orb on the aft side, are gilt, with emerald green for the windows. The tricolore in the mast is the Belgian flag, with the Skull Kitten flag beneath it. I'll also be sketching some details (including the SK flag) and inside views, which will nicely contrast with what you're seeing here.

Look, a question mark instead of an exclamation mark! How rare! Just thinking about getting a different theme for the BioLog. I'm still debating whether it's a good idea - after all, my Bionicle/BZP incarnation is a pirate captain, so the theme goes along with that. Perhaps I should just go with some different hues (though I like the light blue versus sepia contrast), or just different pirate graphics. Or just throw more Bionicle into the mix...

>>>Final Poll<<< First of all - thanks to the people who've voted for me so far, it's nice to know my art is still appreciated. Still, I'm not exactly drowning in votes here, so here's some emotional blackmailing. I mean, how could you say no to a damsel in distress?

Yarr. Because I couldn't very well just not do it. Because it was the thought that counted. Even though people are talking like pirates anyway, Talk Like a Pirate Day or no. All thanks to Schizo. I dunno. I guess I'm just bitter that I couldn't start a fad if I tried. Which is dumb, really, because I've never seen the attraction of fads in the first place. I'm more an in-joke kind of guy. My favourite unfunny jokes are the ones nobody else gets. Or the ones without punch lines. So, why did that hedgehog cross the road? -BC

And off they go! The AC polls are going up, one by one. And, as always, the pairings are random. (Poll #4 is stuffed with crowd favs, and LK's with B_D... ouch. >< ) So, whenever you all get a chance, go and vote for your favs! =D ~Nikira

I just saw the updated list for AC12. A lot of really nice ones came in while I was absent. ... I think I'm gonna die. ~*~ Art AC News: I see that Schizo made it in this time around! *pom-poms* Good luck to you, Captain! Well, all I can do now is twiddle my thumbs and wait for the polls to come up. I'll need a LOT of luck this time through. *still doubts that she'll win* ~Nikira

Just go and check it out, lads 'n lasses! EDIT: Also, the Fan Fleet content block has been renamed Rogues' Gallery, after the Rogue's Gallery album.

Is it just me, or was this AC entry period a lot shorter than the other ones we have had? *is losing her mind all over again* ~Nikira

I have been MOCed. You will leave him comments about it. -Omi

I think I slipped. Yes, I think I slipped. Or did I? For some reason, I'm quite confused. Or am I? Somebody needs to sort things out. -Kex

Hello, people! It's been a while since I've posted in my BLOG, so I'd just like to clear up a few things. . . and share some as well. 1. The "Ten Tip" series is currently on hold for a while. I'll do MOC'ing probably this weekend, with homework and all, I'm really busy. 2. CAVES II is going great! I'm currently finishing up chapter four. . . if you'd like to call it finishing. Expect to see some wierd things. 3. I've made it into the Sidorak Fan Club, or SFC. GO SID! 4. I just found this really cool topic, and I'm using the things in it too. For those of you who haven't seen it already, check out Vaken the Proto Night's "Bouncies" Topic! Remember, though, the sprites are by Leppy, so give credit to him! Link here. That's it! StF

I've just finished the sketch for the main character of my AC 12 entry, with three secondary characters to go. I'm going to try and get those done tomorrow evening, and CG them on Thursday evening. I'll be going to a fund-raiser concert on Friday, and I don't want to hold everything off till Saturday, because last time, that got me into serious deadline problems that lead to my not participating. *continues watching the Full Metal Alchemist movie*

OK, people, sorry that I haven't been on recently. At least, now, the blog will be updated regularly. On a sadder note, my good friend Dreiken will be leaving BZP for at least a few months (At most, his whole life). He will (or more specifically, his comics) will be missed. I have been working on my epic during my absence, and have titled the series "The Dlakii Chronicles". It will also cover another upcoming comic series, Light. Now, as a present to all my readers, I give you a segment from the first chapter of The Dlakii Chronicles. It's also got a lot to do with Dreiken. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Why do I always have to set up base camp?” Thekoo complained. “Why doesn’t Dreiken help? I just don’t get it.” Thekoo was kneeling down, setting up a yellow tent. The burning sun reflected off his gold-and-teal armour. He was hammering down a tent peg with his gold sword. He was so lost in his vaguely contemptuous thoughts that it took him ten seconds to notice that he had just hammered his finger into the ground. “OW! OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!” Thekoo screamed! “OW! OW! OW!” “Would you keep it down, Thekoo?” A voice came from inside the tent. “What’s so important that you’re doing in there, Dreiken?” Thekoo asked. “I’m trying to figure out where we are,” Dreiken replied, sticking his head out of the tent. “This area isn’t in any atlas.” “Isn’t it obvious, Dreik?” Thekoo asked. “We’re in the middle of nowhere, on the Mainland.” “Oh, no, we’ve already passed Nowhere. That was the desert we saw, a kio or so back.” “Ha-ha, very funny, Dreik. Why are we here, anyway?” “It was YOUR suggestion. It was YOU, Thekoo, that wanted to go around training.” “Well then, why didn’t I go back to iKKF’s Dojo?” “Quiet, I think I’ve got it. Let’s see… south of the Nowhere Desert… um….” Dreiken muttered. “Hold on, I’ve got it! Thekoo, did you see any signs saying, ‘Private Property’?” “Um, no.” “Which means that I know where we are on the map,” stated Dreiken, with a very small amount of superiority lurking in his voice. “Where?” “Between the Nowhere Desert and some land belonging to an old guy so weird that he hires killer cops to keep intruders off his property.” “Why do I bother?” Thekoo wailed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And there you have it. The epic is coming soon! -Dlakii

Just dropping by to let you guys know I've already got a movie scene picked for my AC 12 entry. It's not a very obvious choice, but I've already made my own rough rendition of the main Bionicle character of the composition. I'm still debating whether to make the adversaries canon or non-canon Bionicle characters, but I'm leaning towards non-canon. I'm going to try and drop by a friend of mine tomorrow evening - he's got a copy of Photoshop CS for me, and I'm hoping the extra features come in handy. Plus I'd be able to use all those custom brushes I downloaded. It won't be easy getting it finished on time, what with work and all. It's also definite that our Scouting group is moving to another building at another location, a switch with the old Brownies building on the Girl Guides' grounds, so we'll be spending most of Saturday moving our respective material and other belongings. The new building is smaller than ours, but because of the merger of the Cub and Brownie groups, they're in the biggest need of a spacious location. I just hope we can fit all our stuff in there and still have room. The problem is, this is probably my last year of leadership, and I don't like having a transitional year... Might add another year of Scouting before I 'retire'. It mostly depends on my still being single by then - if I am (which isn't all that unlikely ), I'll still have plenty of time to spend with my Rascals.

Font size 6 U? Sorry, had to laugh at that. I found it amusing. Why do I find it amusing? Well...I do, other's might not. Wysp posted a topic, asking if 2007 was confirmed to be underwater. I said no, and he said "thanks, FS6U." You can find his post here. Now, I can be called FS8U, and just read one of my content blocks for why I can be called that, and who coined the term. Sorry Wysp, but I just found that hilarious Good to know that you either know me from BS01 wiki or actually read my blog, however. Don't worry about being 2 numbers off, so yea. ~U

It's a little late in the week, but technically still applicable, but I never did get around to congratulating Schizo and his Captain's Quarters on achieving Blog of the Week (or Quarters of the Week, as he put it). Drinks all around! And on a linguistic aside, I think a conflagellation would technically be a whipping. From Latin flagellare, to whip. So one wonders why people so often wish them on others ... Maybe a ruse to express animosity under the pretext of felicitating them ... Not that that applies here, of course ... Really! I swear! ... Pirate business. Go back to your drinks. – ToM

Let's see... I'm going crazy, but you knew that already. I need to get my Blog Pimp'd, it would look so much better. But who will get to help me... I still am not in the knowing of that yet. Fawful: Kohaku, please give me a chance to do it. No, all you will do is make 50 content blocks all saying, "I Have Fury!" (Can you even have that many?) Fawful: So, what? Fury is awesome! Indeed it is. But you already changed my subtitle on my blog. Anywho, I've been working on my epic again. I'll hopefully have Chapter 3 up tomorrow. And I have idea's for Chapter 4... I think, those who have read it will be pleased... Also, I've noticed that people have trouble getting their friend code when they start with wifi... so, I'm thinking of putting up an entry helping people get their friend code(s). Kohaku

I've posted in plenty of colors in my time here on BZPower. Black, lime green, blue, steel blue, gray, crimson, orange, teal, and, of course, purple. Maybe even some more that I'm forgetting about. A few weeks ago, shortly after the spider-staff, I thought about dropping the purple. I actually did go a day or two with normal black text. It just didn't seem right. So I went back to the purple. Just a few moments ago, I had one of those sudden, random thoughts. I asked myself, "Drop the purple?" And I answered myself back. That's how it went down. Actually, after that, I thought of BR and lol'd. It really does look a lot neater. And to emphasize something, bolding works quite well. And when something really needs emphasis, I believe purple can do the job. So yeah. It's a totally new style to me. It'll definitely take some getting used to, but I like it. I like it a lot. -Kex

I wanted to know what you use BZPower for. Blogs Information Hanging out Other Well I use it for Information and displaying my arts. So what do you use BZPower for? ~RK~

... I want to rewind last weekend so I can go to Brickfest with Omi and Rayg... ;_; ~*~ And, yet again, I must explain for my absence. Two words: Parent Password One of my siblings has been visiting a couple gaming sites secretly. Unfortunately, they're sites that have been dumping tons of viruses into our computer. So, my parents set up an internet password that only they know. So, alas, I shall be on BZP even less than before... boo-hoo. ~*~ However, I AM planning to enter the next AC. Maybe I might win this time around! I'll have to check it out on Sunday afternoon (I would look at it on Saturday, but that's my bro's 13th B-day, so, no comp access for me.) And my mum's manicotti is delicious... ^^ ~Nikira

^Click for article^ The banner will be joining my Letters of Marque (Q.C.), given to me by Admiral Emeritus Ninjo, on the starboard wall of my quarters, right beneath the Hatebeak poster. And yes, it's completely true: I didn't bribe Janus into picking my quarters. If I'd done that, I'd have had the title weeks ago. What, you thought I was going to say I threatened him into it, rather than bribing him? No one threatens Janus and lives, young tars! (Well, perhaps Percy...) Well, the previous celebration has ended, mostly because someone decided to turn my 4.4 rating to a 4.2 rating, so the cause for the celebration is pretty much gone, but hey, let's forget about that and celebrate this special occasion instead! We're still having the Scourge cleaned up, so we're moving the party to the Verdant Terror, the secondary fleet vessel. It's a tad bit smaller, but I figure it's a week day and less people'll show up anyway. As Cpt. Than hasn't been able to access his own blog for a few months now, he's been refitting the Terror and keeping it in good shape, so a deck-warming party is in order there, too. O' course, Than will be the guest of honour (I've been hogging the position for too long anyway ), mostly because of his surviving the Comedies Islets. You'll notice his rank now says 'Enjoys pain...' Other people who'll be attending: the Fleet Followers, some of which you'll know well, and others you'll just have to talk to yourself: Lehvak Kal Nuva, Forgotten Onepu, Lukos Bassai, Bionicle Dragon, Carnage, Mikerahk, Kohaku, -Storm-, Cap'n Exo (watch out for his spork o' doom), Tesseract (BBC contest #38 finalist!), BCii (watch yer feet, he may have brought hedgehogs along), Lyichir: Rachira of Influence, Janus (beware the poking stick!), T-Hybrid (thanks for the DJ set last time, we're still trying to fix the rudder, plus my state room's full of sawdust), Kopaka's Ice Engineering (wild tales o' the Brickfest, lads!) and Valenti. Half of them have blogs of their own, so check those out, too. It'll be more of a lounge-type get-together this time: we've plundered us some more Lazy Boy bean bags, added a few lounge chairs, pillows and couches, so there's plenty of room to take a load off. Get in nice, all sorts of beverages and party snacks will be brought to you by the Ga-Koro Girl Guides. Hey, they need to earn their widgets, now that they're not getting any screen time in the storyline. Oh, and come a bit closer, so they don't hear... Whatever you do... Don't mention Hahli. They're pretty ticked at her fer hogging the spotlight this year. As for music: Apocalyptica's coming over to play their own covers of Dropkick Murphys songs. They used to do Metallica, but they're making an exception for me. That, and they're actually getting paid, so they don't get to complain. You'll forgive me for turning in early, but everyone else is free to chat and joke around till the wee hours o' the mornin'. The Cap'n 'imself needs to get up early for his day job. (It's just a way to cheat taxes, they don't expect pirates to have a 9-5 job.) But fer now, board the Terror! We won't be stationary in the BioLog harbour this time, so while taking it easy, you'll get to see different vistas of BZ-Metru and Mata Nui.

No, this has absolutely nothing to do with LGD Contest #4. I've added a new content block linking to my fellow pirates' blogs, in the tradition that they started ... returning the favor, you know. The background is from a wallpaper still of this spiffy sunken pirate ship screensaver I found. Not that I use screensavers, but I may use the wallpaper some day ... – ToM

After recovering from my wounds (who knew Vahki had frying pans,) I met with Vezon again... Kohaku: Hello, Vezon. Vezon: How the heck are you knowing that? Who sent you?! Are you with the CIA? Kohaku: I read the story. My blog on BZPower sent me. No I’m not. Vezon: How did you get past my guardians? Kohaku: A special ID Card. Vezon: Oh, ok… Kohaku: People claim you’ll do their work for them. Is this true? Vezon: No. *Hand’s Kohaku future news stories for BZPower* Kohaku: What do you do instead of stand and wait? Vezon: Fenrakk and I play Uno. Kohaku: Are you going to kill the Piraka? Vezon: I can’t answer that. Remember the Lego guy. The one who tried to kill you. Kohaku: I have heard that Lego is working with some evil guy. Is this true? Vezon: I can’t answer that, um I have to go destroy the intruders. *Runs away* He is hiding something but I was forced to leave... not before Fawful came with me though. Fawful: Hi, this blog is now my new home. Kohaku: Why. Fawful: Because. AlL yOuR bLoG aRe BeLoNg To Me. Kohaku: ... Kohaku
