Suicide of Poshnash: Opened

The next morning, the citizens of Kujam rushed to Poshnash's house. They found the door wide open for them, and walked inside slowly, to find the house organized and Poshnash slumped over in a chair, a puddle of drool around him. Passe Paso checked and confirmed that the man had been poisined, most likely by himself, and lead him to the mourge with the others. The rest of the group rummaged around and found that the General was in fact a loylist... or in this case a rebel, but that's the good side...

Zepher wrote:This is a Front line Report. I'm your host, Zepher, coming to alert you about the war's newest!

First off, a dangerous bounty hunter named Cad Bane has been spoted. Head Intel member's of the 818th have made this depiction of him:



If you see him DO NOT ENGAGE! He is very dangerous and known to be a BA. (Yes I say the episode, and it was awesome).

News from various planet's also pours in. Battles rage everywhere!

The 541st, finally leaving their snowy planet have suffered some loses, namely Captain Meehan. He was laid to rest on the planet Ansoin, where the 541st is located. The 541st reports being attacked by airborne troops of some sort. Not much is known about them, but we do have this information on their drop pods.



Luckily the war effort is being helped by many. The exceptional armour designers at Thuidorian Tech have been pumping out tons of new designs for out troopers weekly.

The newest trooper has moved to work for the 95th Legion. His name is Captain Striker.



Things have also been pouring out of Rokkiri Co. Taking a break from their normal duty of war ships and tanks they've built us these wonderful new Taxi's.



And finally, this fighting has reached home. We all knew the day would happen when the CIS attacked us at the heart, here, on Coruscant. Luckily, some of our own troops were ready to take out the threat.



Well, that wraps up the report. Sleep safely. This is Zepher, and this has been the Frontline report!

March 30th Update:

Election day is upon us! If you are a Guild member, be sure to cast your vote for the new CABG Moderator here!

While Election Day draws near, tensions are high (sort of)... well, at least I'd like to think so.

With only two candidates standing, this is really an all out brawl. Both members have good and bad going for them, but i'll leave that to the news team of Faie, Bly and 80-0.

I'm just here to alert you that the election Dates have been set!

Monday through Wendesday of this week will be Election "Day" in CABG. During that time a poll will go up, and campaigning will end. Thenews will report what they think is happening, with our crack team.

Bly will be reporting with a Jinja Stance.

80-0 will be angling in for the Teeb campaign

While Faie will be in the middle.

So all. Make sure to get on this Mon. - Wen. to place your vote for the next Staff Member of CABG! and Candidates (and I believe you are both on) I'd advise you to make a thread with your closing remarks some time today!

That is all. Check back here tomorrow at 5ish for the opening of the polls!

The video has great animation and excellent MOC's by Chris Wunz, and the upcoming series promises more of the same great features that the pilot video delivers. Planet TR-57's website can be viewed at http://www.PlanetTR57.com/ and the pilot video is directly below.

Valley Video Services wrote:PLANET TR-57: Pilot Episode

SYNOPSIS:
There’s a reason why Planet TR-57 is the galactic dumping ground for
Clone Troopers who don’t quite fit in.

BACKGROUND:
This pilot episode was the proof-of-concept for the series, and its
success has inspired us to push forward with the full-fledged web
series.

Our first experiment with stop-motion and greenscreen, the pilot
episode taught us the economy of movement and the value of a well-lit
set.

The pilot features a MOC (My Own Creation) by Chris Wunz of the Clone
Wars-era Republic Heavy Cannon. The cannon has a working worm-gear
which allowed us to easily animate the cannon movements in the short.

Zepher wrote:Hey all, Zeph here with exciting news!

I'm back from Flordia!

Wait... that's not it..........

Oh, right, here it is!

Announcing!

aMOCian Idol!

Yes! Finally, they named something after me!

MOC? I haven't seen you since you hosted the December contest with me. Where have you been?

I took a trip.

What? Where? How? You're a mini-fig.... ah, never mind. I don't think it's named after you...

I do.

Anyways. Where was I. Ah, righht. aMOCian Idol! Hosted by Dalg and the CABG Staff!

And MOC.

And it would seem MOC. Okay, here's the break down. Simply Dalg a picture of a MOC never before released to the public. Once we have all the MOC's in, a panal of 3 judges, Rook, CC, and Wuzzie will pick the nine best. Those nine will then be entered. Each week they will produce a new MOC. That MOC will be voted on by the CABG (all the players will be named players 1 through 9, so there will be no bias). The person with the least amount votes will be voted off, and the rest will continue until we have a winner.

Tell about the prizes!

That's right! Second gets 1 custom figure from CAC, and first gets 2 custom figures!

So, you have 2 weeks to get in your audition MOC's! Get to work!

Just to clarify somethings:

1) The MOC can be any size and about anything!

2) The MOC will only qualify you to compete. The Judges only pick the contestants, then each week you have to survive by building the next level of the MOC. Each round the person with the least amount of votes is voted off until we only have one left!


-Zeph

Zepher wrote:First off, though a day late...

HAPPY EASTER!



(I meant to snap more shots, namely of CABG figures, but before I could the eggs were eaten, so you'll have to put up with a 313th one instead!)

And secondly, Dalg has informed everyone of more prizes for the aMOCian Idol contest;

The asortment of BF stuff: MegaGun - Black, MegaGun - Blue, MegaGun - Red, MegaGun - Sand Green, Plasma Blaster - Black, Space Marine Visor - Red, Space Marine Visor - Bronze, Space Marine Helmet - Black, Space Marine Visor - Silver Chrome, Vambraces - Black...

Along iwth Two Wuzzie figure for first?

You've got just under two weeks for those auddition MOCs. I really can't see how you wouldn't enter....

-Zeph

Zepher wrote:With only a week left to get in your MOC's (next Saturday at 12:00) people should really be working! Back in the election we thught that Guildies should make a new MOC every two weeks... everyone who hasn't entered should be out of the guild according to that guild member (Alfi, I think that was your idea )

So, really, it won't be bad. I'd advise you get to work. You could even build the MOC for something else and just enter it into the first round! With some many contests and guild bulds going on, well, you should be building anyway!

Okay, one week! That's what you've got!

Oh, and just a sneak peek of how the contst will go, I'm releaseing the first two challanges!

1) Build a Mini-figure (this shouldn't be to hard either. You'll have a full week!) - 1 person is voted off

2) Build a small speeder for the mini-figure 50-100 pieces (about) - 1 person is voted of.

It will continue like that! So get in the contest, get your audition MOC get in, and win a whole lot of prizes!

Clarifying how the contest will work, since member's seem confused.

Round) Challange - Result

Auditions) Build any sized or shaped MOC within two weeks - Judges pick their nine favorites, and then those 9 members are contestants.

1) Contestants mustbuild a Mini-figure in a week - 1 person is voted off

2) Contestants must build a small speeder for the mini-figure 50-100 pieces - 1 person is voted of.

Make more sense?

Clonecommando007 wrote:The nine contestants have been picked based on best MOC's from a large number of applications to be in the aMOCian Idol special contest!

You can direct your comments here.

Member PDragon has also brought us a more heavy version of a Mech, named the HSM Class 54 Envoy.



Discuss PD's work here.

And I myself, Zepher, created something recently. Meant to be fully posable (it wasn't, but now I've fixed it so it is, no pictures of it up yet), the UAR Secret Project #247 - Sand Droid, codename Desert Samuri, is a quick moving crack team robot.



You may discuss the Secret project here.

Finally member Chuck owns us all with his heavy CCCP Landmate.



Looking clunky and bulky, this Mecha is a pure win, and could probaly destroy the other three Mecha's with ease.

Discuss it here.

Well, that ends it for the Mecha update! Enjoy your day!
