  1. Thanks. I forgot I posted this in four places. Thank you. Flipz, follow that link Brickdoctor posted. Thanks! Sorry. at myself.
  2. Take my word for it, it's too big. Change it please.
  3. The challenge has been over for several hours. Sorry I haven't updated. Busy day at work. I will get the winners announced as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.
  4. The cocaine habit is an odd character choice. Just kidding. I know what you're actually doing.
  5. Except it looked like it. But yes, I like the idea of asking your players to keep it to one or two lines. That seems like the perfect solution. Thank you.
  6. As I've already stated, as long as it's in line with the Site Guidelines, it's cool. Quest host convenience aside, we will have to do something different if complaints keep coming in. Any help from the coordinator of Heroica would be greatly appreciated. I'm not going to answer everyone's request for signature approval. I don't have time for that. You can read the Site Guidelines, and you saw me apply them to Masked Builder's signature. I trust everyone can figure this out on their own with the Guidelines and the example I already provided.
  7. The total height of your pictures is 177 pixels. You have a little more text thrown in there, so it's a little over 200, which is inline with the general rule. Yours is fine. A lot of times, it's just up to a bit of common sense. Err on the side of smaller. We have profiles now for the more lengthy info. There was a member here who had a picture in his sig that was bright red. It was only 200 pixels tall but we got complaints about it all the time. I kindly asked him to make it smaller due to the complaints, fully admitting he wasn't breaking any rules, but I was sick of getting complaints. He very politely complied, but it just goes to show, some things are just annoying in signatures. I'm getting complaints now about people's lengthy Heroica signatures. Maybe it would be better to put all your quests and info on your profile page and stop the trend of putting it all in your signatures. That would be nice. But, for the most part, all I ask is that you follow the Site Guidelines.
  8. A reminder to those of you putting Mafia/Heroica/History Forum Guild resumes and stats in your signatures: Perhaps a better place for these stats is your user profile. Generally, your signature should not be much taller than 200 pixels and many of you are pushing that, trying to promote your guild/character/or gaming history. Please put an end to this trend. Thank you.

  12. *William fires the rockets at the debris blocking the staircase. Siegourney runs up and grabs the bricks out of the urns* Chapter 6 Challenge x2 x4 You have 24 hours to complete this challenge. To participate you must post "Challenge: begin" in this thread when you start trying to build (or figure out) the creation. Do not post "Challenge: complete" when you are finished. Do not post in this thread for 15 minutes following your "Challenge: begin" post. If you do, your entry will be disqualified. PM the picture to me, do not post it in this thread. If it is incorrect, you won't know until I can respond, so make sure you get your complete time recorded by PM. Whoever has the fastest time will be declared the winner. You are on the honor code. This method is to be fair to all time zones so do not cheat!
  13. *William cruises around the balcony. He can see LEGO parts in the urns on the balcony, but there's nowhere to land up there.*
  14. *Samantha and William work together to see if the spaceship really works. William sits in the pilot's seat and Samantha fiddles with his control stick. William and his frog rise up in the air!* "Yippee!"
  15. The white light fades and the monk has once again disappeared. Sylvia is climbing out of the pool. "How'd you get in the water?" Somebody asks. "Not sure," she says, "This place is getting weirder by the ... chapter, I guess. " William continues to find the frog more interesting than his wife. Chris looks for more blood to sniff. Penny inspects the new creation carefully. "What the hell are we supposed to do with a little spaceship?" She wonders out loud... Nobody answers.

I wish there was more room. Please sign up again for future games! * Rules for Game play No anagrams. Each chapter you will be faced with a LEGO building challenge. The first part will be a group effort to find a certain amount of LEGO pieces. The second part will be an individual effort to figure out what model the pieces create. The winner of the individual effort will be judged by how much time is taken to solve the puzzle. When you begin to solve the puzzle post "Puzzle start" in the thread. When you solve it, post "puzzle solved" and PM me a picture of the finished product. The winner of the challenge will select three people. The three people selected will nominate two people to receive clues about the identity of who killed the other members of the tour group (the deaths from Red Moon 1). You must search for clues. This means that an action must be specified. For example, you wish to search a room for hidden objects. The following is an example of how not to go about this: "I wish to look for suspicious or hidden objects in this room". Instead, you must be able to specify what you want to do. For example: "I would like to open the drawers of the cabinet." It is not required for you to specify exactly what you are doing and what you are looking for, but a generalised statement will not find you anything. Act like a detective and you will be fine. Dynamic Actions: Actions you wish to carry out without all of the other players' knowledge can be PMed to the game host, Hinckley. You may or may not be allowed to do what you request. Host response time: Please be patient. You may bring the story to a point where you need the host to further game play. I will be on top of this game as much as possible. Please be patient with me between chapters as well. Stagnant game: If you find yourself stuck in the group challenge portion, it is because you need to find a clue or you've missed something. Don’t argue with the game host. You’ll be there until everything that needs to be discovered has been discovered. Each game day will last 72 hours with three portions, each lasting 24 hours. The team challenge will last 24 hours. The individual portion will last 24 hours. And the nomination process will last 24 hours. If the group fails to find all of the pieces in the first 24 hours, then the chapter will end with no further clues given. You cannot edit your posts. Failure to follow these rules will result in a warning. A second failure will result in the humorous death of your character.
  16. I think it's a very nicely built MOC. I understand that, in retrospect, you feel you may have been insensitive, but since your intention was to commemorate an event that was close to you, I think you should not feel that way. Your heart was in the right place and you expressed it the way you knew how, through LEGO. Thanks for sharing it here.
  17. I need to work on my setup. Sorry about the delay on the game, folks. I'm waiting for a response from someone. If I don't hear from them by this evening, I'll post the new chapter regardless.
  18. Yes. I brighten pretty much all of my photos, since the light is so weak.
  19. The light did play some tricks. I should've mentioned that they were all old light gray. Hey, if the others who haven't figured out how to win the challenges read this, maybe they'll figure it out now! So, you may have lost the challenge, but at least you helped everyone else learn how to win!
  20. Short, fat and missing teeth, that's me.
  21. The tour members have constructed a little spaceship with the pieces they found. The three challenge winners have chosen the following people to receive clues: Diana Mantino (Fugazi) Fred Thomas (CorneliusMurdock) & Chris Owen (Tamamono) In a flash of light, the old monk appears once again. "Yo," he says. "Not this guy again," someone says as they roll their eyes. "Today I presented you with the challenge of nominating three people you trusted to receive a clue as a group. After tallying the votes, you have nominated Diana Mantino (Fugazi), Fred Thomas (CorneliusMurdock) and Chris Owen (Tamamono). I'm sorry, but no one will be receiving a clue as you have not presented a group that can be trusted. At least one person nominated should not be trusted." "However, the clues will still go to those nominate by the challenge winners." the old monk says as white light, once again, begins to fill the room, "Now you may see what has brought this to be." And the room fades to white...
  22. *The puddles are numbered, in order of appearance by how many 1x1 round plates represent each one.* *Sorry to once again confuse my players, but the public vote should only be for one person. The top three vote-getters will receive clues. To make sure there are three clear winners, the tour member must work together. Challenge winners are placing three votes a piece. Makes sense now, huh? Needless complications are fun, right?*
  23. *I cannot help those who cannot help themselves.*
