MS Update Around the Boards February 6 2008

Time to learn about the exciting -- nay, breathtaking -- events taking place on these boards! Or, if you will, around these boards. And now, presented for your viewing pleasure in monochrome HTML-free random order:

LFL Projects/Indy IV
With Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull right around the corner, the LFL Projects/Indy IV forum will be hosting a series of contests in the coming months to commemorate the film's release in May. We will be kicking things off with a Fan Art Contest which will be running throughout the month of February. Please see this thread for more details and how to enter.

The Arena

March Madness is right around the corner. Get the jump on the discussion of the best teams by joing us in the Arena to talk about NCAA basketball.

Also, the Arena is currently playing host to the Traveling Social Thread. Stop by and say hi!

SSSW

At SSSW we've been hearing more rumours that The Clone Wars is to have a theatrical debut. We've also had a minor spoiler and seen some very packaging. Click here to find out all the latest gos.

Literature

In Literature, we've unveiled the list of the top 100 EU moments. Come by and see what made the list!

EUC

Come check out the
Top 100 EU Characters Results!

Games

The Games Forum is launching a top 200 countdown of the JC's top video games. Stop in and submit your favorites!

Census and Games

Mafia is still in the sign-ups stage. We need a few more players before we can start.

Plans for a Pokemon draft are in the works. Please come give your input on the draft list.

The home of tournaments, Census & Games, has a new one in store for everybody! The Tabletop Games tourney has just begun. Everybody plays and loves some sort of card game or board game ... come on over and vote for your favourite! Everybody welcome!

Also ... there are rumours of a fan favourite game returning from the netherworlds in C&G ... check out this thread to see what's happening.

Fanfic

Sign-ups are over for Fan Fiction's Dare Challenge, and stories are being posted. Go check out the entries!

SWC

The Favorite Species Tournament in SWC is about to finish up. The finals are set, so have your voice heard. Will it be Twi'Lek or Chiss?

 

Looks good, Havac!

 

I'm getting kind of excited about the Indy stuff!

 

UK TV has started running ads for the Indy Lego sets. I saw one yesterday that recreated the opening scene with the rolling rock and plane takeoff in the first film.
There's also a SW Lego one running that recreates one of the main Geonosis battle scenes.

 

That was breathtaking, Hav.

I'd just like to put the word Tabletop in this post again so it remains on everybody's mind.

 

Also the Travelling Social thread is in the Arena.

 

That's already listed in there...

 

Yay! Great update!



I'm really hoping to see some new faces in Games with the new tournament!

 

A bit of a late addition to this update ... if you've ever wanted to really see how it's done in one of those draft games, you should check out the Comic Book Draft All-Stars, and get a lesson on how it's done.

 

I'm excited to hear this news about the Clone Wars series...thanks for the update!

 

I also want to quickly mention that the CT Scene Write/Rewrite Contest is taking a hiatus for about a month and will return on March 9th with a new Super Challenge for all who want to participate.

 

Can we please give Havac an icon suiting his name?

Basically that Klingon guy from Star Trek the undiscovered country?
