Guys, I need some help. I need a large number of these: Plant Leaves 6 x 5 Swordleaf with Clip in regular green http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=30239. Anywhere in the US I can get them cheaper than $0.34?

Really nice! Love the window idea!

Nice job! Nice improvisation as well!

I really don't see a problem with Z's idea or even that the ones working on the idea are limited to EB staff. In fact I think it makes sense. I didn't even take it as Chapter 2 but as something to try out to see how it went. Historica still belongs to the members even if the Z and other EB staff work on another storyline. Everyone is free to make their own stories and locations. If someone didn't like the idea of elementals destroying their homes in Chapter 1 they could make up a story of how their homes avoided destruction. I consider what Z is working on as an extra bonus as well as a way to bring more members to GoH. I really don't see us regular members missing out on anything except some decision making and immediate knowledge of what is planned. If you want to work on a multi member story, get together with some other GoH members and make some GoH history.

Dextrus needs an assistant to look after Kaliphlin affairs when he decides to visit the worlds of sci-fi. I think Dextrus is not about to lose his job as he is somewhat or should I say a major folkhero in Kaliphlin. However his disappearance for months at a time without someone to officially look out for Kaliphlin interests is just bad governing. So upon considering those capable of handling the daily rigors of Guild correspondence I had nominated Kai. DaMaximus, NiceMarmot, and Skaforhire would be other possible candidates although NiceMarmot seems to have disappeared like Si-Mocs did and with DaMaximus as official relations with Avalonia would probably seriously decline . Not sure if Skaforhire would want the position but he quite possibly might be the best candidate having been with EB for so long.

Just got to echo what SK said. Great work!

Very nice! Love the waterfall and wheel!

Cool stuff! You have a fish on the fire, and a knife being made in the forge, but where are the people?

I totally hear you there, bro! Same here unless there is a great techniqhue I had used in which case I usually keep segments of the builds and incorporate them into another build. My idea factory pumps out so much more stuff than I can possibly begin to build. I think I'm beginning to organize my ideas into two catagories now: priority/must be built and cool/ I might do that at another time which usually means forgetting about it.

Nice ship! As this is a fantasy world, I think that the figures and wheel are fine.

Was there ever a reply for when the vote for the Chapter 1's conclusion is going to take place? For some reason I was thinking it will be July after the free builds score cutoff but I don't remember where I got that from.

I have twin exploratory ships still in the works. (i posted a wip a year ago I think) I'm trying to think how to design a barge craft to transport these huge creatures... Well maybe after my home base is finished. The base will be pretty much self sufficient but I forsee increased trade with Mpys Stedor for products we don't produce. Maybe have an order for some gold windows...

Is it big enough to carry some giant horned creatures? (Triceratops) Masa now has begun utilizing them for Kaliphlin heavy cavalry. However we need some way to transport them to the Historica mainland.

Sounds good! Ready to boly to LCC? Never!

I really think it looks a lot more dwarven with the cliffs instead of the roof. Nice build!

You try any other sets? I'm going to have to check my Kmart out.

Don't worry about their sales pitches... Masa believes one should look towards one's own future, not the past of someone else. Anyway a nice build for one of your first. You stay in GoH long enough and it will totally change your building skills... for the better. The fig posing is excellent. My main criticism would be the roof as it seems to have no support beams that it should have even if it is a tent.

Kaliphlin would love to have you! You have a real knack for colors and Kaliphlin could use some more color. But what would happen to Antyria? Or are you talking about making a new guild? Anyway I'm not sure that it really matters what guild you are in as you can build bases for you assassin's guild in every guild like in Varlyrio. When Varlyrio first became the fifth guild, I considered joining it if it opened up for membership as I was having a hard time reconciling my projects with Kaliphlin. I use bley bricks for my castle and it looks out of place with the typical perspective of Kaliphlin architecture and terrain. But now I have gotten inspiration again like for my first challenge entry for GoH. I have thought out a scenerio that makes everything fit together. And the best part is I am now quite a better builder now than when I first started GoH.

This is really cool!

Main advantage of an active guild leader is higher morale. Our guild self maintains its morale extremely well but I still think that it would be good to have an official "leader" that is always around to help maintain interest in guild affairs. The old idea of the king visiting all the lands that never really took off may have been to ambitious for all the guilds but I think would work fine within a guild setting and make every member feel included.

Nice build!

I hope you find some time to get to do what you wanted to do originally. I know that my original plans have changed a bit mostly due to being more critical of my builds with my increasingly enlarged library of new building techniques. One idea that is helping me build my dream is what Ecclesiastes did with his Ondylion project. He posted a series of MOCs that connected together into a single massive display. So istead of being overwhelmed with trying to finish the project as a whole I am now slowly getting it done piece by piece. Its nice to have people admire our builds too even if they do not actively post MOCs. That is a problem that the guild leaders faced. They had to keep track of all the builds that they were missing time to do the building they wanted to do. So if a build really impresses you, by all means leave a comment so that the builder knows how much you liked it. In a way I kind of agree with you about the first two challenges. (oddly enough I joined too late to participate in those 2) But the good thing is that even though you may not be particularly fond of the official storyline and challenges, you are free to create your own story and factions. Some of the most fun I've had is working with another GoH member on a single story. You have some great northern scenes and I believe we have yet to see some very interesting stories coming from you. Definately not counting anyone out, although I fear Gabe might not have much of continued showing but then again when he does show up its with a MOC that totally makes up for his absence. I think I remember Robuko saying he was going to continue. And hopefully NM is just on vacation as no word from him since April. Now that you officially voted, that brings my missing Avalonian count down to 2.

You guys could always use it as a retreat to escape the cold. Besides I'm certain Nocturnus has some valuable resources even for Mitgardians. Well maybe not as it seems Mitgardians are content with a IMO bleak lifestyle: rocks and snow

I really do wonder what Dextrus Flagg has been up to. Comment wise it really helps to have an active guild leader. As Ageven seems to be becoming a lot more available than Dextrus, Masa has been thinking we Kaliphlins should appoint him as the standin Delegate of Kaliphlin.

Ahhh... and here I was thinking that we should just anex Nocturnus onto Kaliphlin! Hey that could be an interesting Chapter 2 plot. Avalonia, Mitgardia, and Kaliphlin each fighting to anex Nocturnus into their guild. You better be in Ecc!
