Having a little fun tonight, I created this fig. I think I might make some more and will do a real moc. If so, I'll update here. Master Roshi

Cinna, seeing the children cowering in the back, steps forward. "Please, we are not here to harm you. We are only trying to find a lost boy. It looks like maybe he lived down here with you. Will you talk to us?"
-
Cinna addresses Thalion. "That's a great offer, but the one that protects her must be strong enough to withstand the attacks of a full round of enemies."

Cinna drinks a tonic.

Love all the action. I embeded the video in your post for you so that more people will get a chance to see it without having to leave the page.

I'm glad the whole Hervi/Dragmall thing is over, that was really confusing. This is why it's good to talk things out here and bring up any suspicions we have. All that talk of a third party was scary, but now that we are kinda sure there isn't one, what I'm really worried about even moreso is the fact that Bergulf, who was under such suspicion yesterday was not being talked about today. We've had a few people accusing others but it's like someone was stearing everything away from him today. Almost like they are protecting him, a scum teammate? We know now that Danr was town, and yet the crowd seems happy not looking back at what caused him to get accused and who really started that? He was defending someone, maybe someone who even messaged him asking for help, we can't know for sure but it seems likely. Now I'm seeing that more people are looking back at his strange behavior over the last two days and coming to the same conclusions. This has been a strange day full of so many accusations, but I think we need to resolve yesterday's issues first and then we can see the clear choices for tomorrow. Vote: Bergulf (badboytje88)

Pictoral Review: NYCC TMNT Black Turtle Minifig
Darkdragon replied to Darkdragon's topic in LEGO Licensed
Not sure where you are coming from on this comment. The MB turtles are nothing like the LEGO turtles. For one thing, the LEGO turtles can actually bue used in something other than a TMNT moc as all the parts are interchangeable just like any minifig. The shell is a separate piece. -
I think that's how they work, but I've read that it doesn't always kill them if they try to recruite a scum. Also the other thing is that I've read sometimes when investigated they would come up as neutral and that's why I thought what I thought. It was just something that I infered from reading the play, that she couldn't or wouldn't target herself. This is something I've not seen before and just trying to figure out what it could mean and how much it's helpful or detimental to us. Targeting herself and somone every night would be the best way for her to use the role though, it would be safest way to find out who is the enemy and who is the friend. I was also in the pub during this conversation and a previous one with a similar statement being made. Was it a joke, a trick, or the truth? Only two people know for sure. I think it is half truth and half trick, that's my opinion on it. Just because something is said in a joking context where things "shouldn't be taken seriously" does not mean they aren't true.

Hey Brian, glad to see you here. It's a wonderful place and lots of crazy train-heads like you.

That's a really obscure roleclaim from Artemis. If it's true, then could it be she is part of a cult that has a conversion that will kill if they try to convert scum? That seems like the biggest reason for this kind of investigation, since it doesn't tell if people are scum or not it makes it pretty weak for any other use. The seeming reluctance to target herself makes me think that if she is neutral then she would know all the other neutrals and wouldn't want to waste a night on that.
-
Well that's quite a good break we already got a scum! I will have a look at the records from yesterday, this should prove very excellent for analyzing things today. It's surprising that Danr was loyal, but we really didn't have much to go on yesterday. Now we have so much to look back at, I'm confident we'll catch another scum today.

Hi all! DarkDragon reporting from the 2012 New York Comic Convention Since we've all seen some wonderful images of the new sets and the exclusive TMNT minifig, I thought I'd show you some photos of the actual booth. The LEGO booth was huge and impressive. The first thing you see walking toward the familiar red cube is this giant screen showing LEGO animations and commercials. There was some really fun stuff going on there and I caught a few people just standing and watching the cartoons (especially the ice skating Star Wars figs ) As with most LEGO events, they had a cool mosaic going on. Everyone could help by building an 8x8 section (or two, or three...). Then they would hammer it into place (or take it apart if it was wrong). Throughout the booth there were building areas where you could stand and build all day if you wanted to! One guy built a cool small yellow castle. Not sure how he found so many yellow parts! I had trouble just building a blue brick. There was even a Duplo area for the really little kids. Lots of great sculptures thought the booth too. My favorites are this big Superheroes "poster" and the Darth Maul with light up lightsaber. There was a small store too. It didn't have much selection (though that didn't stop me from buying), but the cool thing was the display windows showing off the new sets and all the way around both sides and the back was more building area! That's all folks! DarkDragon signing off.

Not much to say except it's really cool. Hope you enjoy seeing these photos! NYCC Exclusive Black TMNT Minifig Yes, it's a sticker.

Thanks Walter. Yeah, I know the framrate is a bit low on this one. I usually like going 24/25 and once even did 30, but for this project I went lower. One thing was that I had to get it finished quickly and another was it was my first time animating figures. My next project will be much smoother, hopefully. I'm pretty quick learner.

There's a cream for that. - I can't explain. But there is. Given by probably Shadows or Hinckley.

Bob! I'm so glad you finally joined. Welcome to EB.

So happy to see this reposted. Such a great creation! You did an amazing job matching the source material and I am excited to see this with some turtle figs in a couple months.

Profile & User Settings From your user menu, you can get to a number of different controls for your account. One of the most useful sections is the My Settings sections where you can tailor quite a few things for your own account. Clicking the "My Settings" link displays another menu of links. We won't go through everything but there are two sections that you'll want to pay specific attention to for setting up your account. Profile Settings These are your general settings for your account and profile. It's all fairly self explanatory. Photo Change your photo (aka Avatar). If your photo is not square, you will have the chance to select a square area for use as your avatar. There is however no way to resize the area. Timezone You can set your own timezone here. This way the post timestamps match your local time. Automatically detecting DST doesn't work very well and should probably be left unchecked. Comments & Visitors Control if people can leave comments on your profile and see who's visited. Friends A couple of controls for showing and approving of friends. Profile Information Set your birthday, and this is where you access your About Me page to update it. When you click to update your About Me page, it opens up an editor that looks and works just like the post editor: Contact Methods If you want to give people ways to contact you other than Private Messages, you can enter those details here. Profile Information This is your basic demographic info. Extra Being a global forum, it's very helpful for other users to see what country you are in. This way they have an idea what timezone you are working with. It just makes communication a lot smoother if you enter your country. Notification Preferences The system can keep you notified of many events that happen on the board. This is where you'll set up what and how you are notified. Notification List I already talked about the icon at the top-right of the board. This is the page that controls what items generate notifications that are shown there. Checking a box in this column will add the notifications to that queue. Email If you want to be emailed notification for some events (it's not recommended that you check this for everything), you can check the box in this column. The email will be sent to the email you have set up in the Email & Password settings. Special Settings: Topics & Posts On each post and topic you create, you can choose to be notified or "follow" the topic. If you always want to follow topics you are posting in or creating, you can simply control it with this dropdown instead of having to check a box every time. Special Settings: Private Messages If you'd like the message window to pop up in the middle of your screen when you get a new Private Message, instead of just adding a notification on the icon, you can control that with this checkbox. Be sure to save the changes before navigating away from this page or you'll have to start all over! -

Posting Topic Title Enter the title for your topic. Follow the guidelines for the forum you are posting in and the site guidelines for topic titles. Topic titles will display a maximum of 66 characters, this number includes spaces. Short descriptive titles are preferred. Topic Tags You can enter up to 10 keyword tags for your topic. These can be single or multi-word tags, each tag must be separated by a comma. Tags are useful for search results and for research by users to find all the topics related to a specific term or phrase. Content Editor Here is where you will write the topic itself. The default view is a Rich Text Editor, meaning you will see all the formatting and images as you insert them. You can use the buttons along the top to format your topic contents. If you'd like to handcode BBCode instead of using the RTE, you can use the button at the top right of the area. This will toggle between RTE and plain text. Note: You can use BBCode in RTE mode without using the buttons, once you save it will correctly display your content. Attach Files You can attach files which will then be hosted on EB, but there is a maximum number of files and file sizes based on your account rank. These limitations will be displayed next to the Attach This File button. Manage Topic Poll If your rank has the ability, you can add a Poll to your topic. You'll do that by clicking this link. Post Options You can manage some post options here, depending on what your rank allows. Posting Buttons The last step is to click the Post New Topic button, but it's highly recommended that you use the Preview Post button first to make sure the post is set up as you expected. Using the preview will give you a chance to fix any problems before you submit your new topic to the board. Topic Tags & Social Networking When you enter Topic Tags for a new topic and then post the topic, the tags show up at the top right under the title. Each tag is click-able and will bring up a search results screen for all topics with the same tag. This can be a quick way to find related topics. At the end of each page of a topic, the board does all the work for you by showing you the related topics based on the tags. From here you can preview the topics and do all the other things you would expect from a topic listing. The social media icons are located just above the related topics section. They can be used to send the link for this topic to your favorite social media stream, as well as print and download the whole topic. -
