[Theme Song] SPIRIT: Welcome to Treespeak on the Air. I'm SPIRIT. Cee-estee: And I'm Cee-estee. SPIRIT: Okay. So this is kinda like some...talk show type thing. Cee-estee: Yeah, it's just um… yeah; sorta like those things that BZPower did a while back. SPIRIT: Yeah, BZPowercast. Cee-estee: Yeah that's it. Actually it should be B-Zed-Power but, you know. SPIRIT: Well, yeah. Cee-estee: Just because it's an American association I call it B-Zee-Power. SPIRIT: I call it that ‘cuz it rhymes. Cee-estee: B-Zee-Power. B-Zed-Power. Ooh, uh, anyway. What's our first topic, SPIRIT? SPIRIT: Um...BBC. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Cee-estee: Yes. This BBC Contest is where um you have three options in three categories: hero against villain, hero against- err… hero and sidekick or villain and sidekick. Now mine is a villain and sidekick, just ‘cuz I had a villain, and sidekicks are easier. So yeah. Are you entering? SPIRIT: No, I can't, uh, BBC for beans. Cee-estee: Aww. SPIRIT: I lost terribly last time. Cee-estee: I had three votes last time. SPIRIT: Whoah. Cee-estee: Well not last time… Actually I lost like, horribly to Darth Vader last time. SPIRIT: Ahh... Cee-estee: So hopefully he won't be in my category. SPIRIT: I think you'd do a lot better if you named your MOCs 'SPIRIT Jr.' Cee-estee: SPIRIT Jr. Yes, well, I thought 'Xeediot' would be better. SPIRIT: Hmm... nah. Cee-estee: *snickers* Next time I might name it ‘SPIRIT Jr.’ SPIRIT: Yay. Cee-estee: Just for you. So, um, I've actually seen some not so good entries. I found one here. I think it might be pretty good; a lot of good ones entering near the end. SPIRIT: Yeah, a broad one, like you can pretty much do anything. Cee-estee: Yeah you can, it's almost like freestyle. SPIRIT: Yeah, pretty much. Cee-estee: Except you have to have two. And that can actually be really challenging for people with less parts, like with me. Like with me, like um usually take apart like every MOC when I start a new one, just ‘cuz I need the parts. That's why I needed a smaller one for my second sidekick. SPIRIT: Well, sidekicks really are smaller. Cee-estee: Well yes. SPIRIT: Alright, next topic: Comedies. Cee-estee: The comedies. Well, I'll leave this one to you since you're usually there you're like the master of the comedies. SPIRIT: Oh yes, I am. Cee-estee: Yes ‘cuz your new one came out just a while ago didn't it? SPIRIT: Yeah it got like...35 posts first chapter. It's crazy. Cee-estee: *chuckles* SPIRIT: Half of them were spam. People saying stuff like 'Oh, I don't like coffee." It was kinda random. And so I PMed Schizo about it and uh, he cleaned it out, “gutted it like a fish” (to quote him). But yeah um only moderators can delete posts, so that's kind of a problem. Cee-estee: Oh yeah. SPIRIT: ‘Cuz there's only one Moderator and Comedy gets quite a lot of spam. Cee-estee: Yeah. Yeah that is kind of weird they can close topics but they can't close posts, ya know? SPIRIT: Yeah. Cee-estee: Yeah. So yeah like I haven't read um many comedies but from what I've heard, it's a really spammy place. I wish they would do more about it, but anyway... So yeah, I guess that's that. What's else? SPIRIT: Um, 2006. Cee-estee: Well...I don't like the grins. SPIRIT: Hm? Cee-estee: I don't like the grins. SPIRIT: Well they're not bad. Cee-estee: They're grins. SPIRIT: I've only seen bad pictures so far so, I can't tell. Cee-estee: I mean, who puts grins on...anything, like especially bad guys? SPIRIT: I dunno. The heads were okay, but the grins I dunno... Cee-estee: No. Like from what I've seen from the 2006 sets- SPIRIT: Don’t give away too much! Cee-estee: They just- Yeah, they just don’t look that good. I mean it might be the pictures... SPIRIT: Yeah that's what I think. Like really, really low quality pictures. Cee-estee: Hopefully. *chuckles* SPIRIT: How about the updates we’ve seen, where the Piraka land on Voya Nui in canisters? Cee-estee: The what? SPIRIT: The updates for the comics, Greg showed us. Cee-estee: Ah. Um, that actually looks pretty cool, actually. Um… I haven't seen them yet, obviously, but like the new island could be pretty cool, actually. SPIRIT: Yeah it sounds interesting. Cee-estee: And there's also a new artist. SPIRIT: Mhmm. Cee-estee: Now, it doesn't mean um… it doesn’t mean there's a new colorist, which could actually be nice. Heh. SPIRIT: Yeah. Heh. Some ways. Cee-estee: But...I guess… yeah, I don't really know how much better he'll be, but, um, it'll be interesting. SPIRIT: Yeah, because when you see the earlier comics, there was a different artist- they weren't as good. Cee-estee: Hm. Yeah, well I guess we'll have to see. SPIRIT: Mhm. Next topic: Staff Survivor. Cee-estee: Riiight. Well, I… um… it's interesting. SPIRIT: I haven't really been following it so... Cee-estee: I try and follow it sometimes, like um there's a lot going on everyday, but, um yeah it's been really crazy actually like people eating each other. SPIRIT: *laughs* Cee-estee: Um, *chuckles* yeah, I think that pretty much speaks for itself there. SPIRIT: Oh yeah. Cee-estee: I- I think it's actually a really good idea, like, really original actually. SPIRIT: Mhmm. Cee-estee: I think- I think it's playing out fairly well, so far anyway. SPIRIT: Yeah I think they should have more events like that. Cee-estee: More what? SPIRIT: More events like that. Cee-estee: Yeah, or even with like selected members. SPIRIT: Yeah, random people... that aren't newbs... and don't talk about coffee. Cee-estee: Well, they seem to be attacking each other a lot too, like it's just getting annoying. SPIRIT: Yeah well, it's bound to happen. Cee-estee: It's getting repetitive. SPIRIT: Well there's only so much you can write until you run out of things. Cee-estee: Yeah, but, they could still be more original. SPIRIT: I suppose. So, anything else? Cee-estee: Um… no, I think. That's it. Um, now, do we have a quiz, for them, a fancy question? SPIRIT: Um...no... Cee-estee: No. Yes, well, NEXT WEEK... SPIRIT: *laughs* Cee-estee: Well, not week, next time, we're gonna have a question for you all to answer. And on the third episode, we'll be answering it. So if you all get it, you won't get any prizes but that's OK. SPIRIT: You'll get gratitude. Cee-estee: Yes you'll just be able to say “I had the answer to that question”. And you can have like bragging rights or something like that. And the questions aren’t going to be easy, either. But, uh, next week we should be getting um, a guest in here as well. We don't know who it is yet. So...it could be you. Right SPIRIT? SPIRIT: Yeah. Well, if you want to be in, send us... Cee-estee: Well... SPIRIT: Well, yeah, a voice clip of yourself to... well e-mail it to me or Cee. E-mails will be in topic. Or if you have a discussion topic that you want us to discuss or answer, also send that in. Preferably in an audio file. Cee-estee: Okay and I guess that's it. That wraps this up. And this has been the first episode. SPIRIT: Of Treespeak on the Air. I'm SPIRIT. Cee-estee: And I'm Cee. [Theme music]
