Man, I'm sorry everyone's feeling so down....
I just recieved my Brick Link order yesterday (two extra Black Pearl boat hull sections and some other stuff), and have been working on elongating my Armored Cruiser project tonight... It seems to be coming along fairly well, but we'll see how long THAT lasts when my Pick A Brick order finally arrives (I have a feeling that I'm going to need to make several more revisions to the basic floor plan of the ship before it's all said and done, and that's just the HULL we're talking about.
In other news, here's a few pics that Omicron and Napoleon might find interesting:
First, I have a map of my epic playthrough of the Age of Imperialism scenario for Civilization III Conquests:
Boer Republics, 1915 by

Yes, that is, in fact, me who managed to conquer over 50% of the Earth's landmass as the Boer Republics... The only thing that pretty much stopped me from finishing off Germany is the fact that I was getting tired of the 10-minute+ turn load times (When everybody, including you has at least 400 units, you need some serious processing power to keep track of it all). One guy on Civilization Fanatics center, who was following the AAR/story I was writing up on the campaign described my Boer Federal Republic as looking like a "Nice version of Drakia"...
And just for Omicron, a pic of all the faction leaders from the Final Fantasy Mod (which is not quite finished, but I'm hoping to more or less finalize it early next year):

Let's see how many you guys can identify.... HINT: The leaders are presented in more or less game order (Final Fantasy I - Final Fantasy XII) starting from the top right, with the Gaiden Game characters (Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Advanced and Crystal Chronicles) last. Oh, and all but 6 of them were made and animated by yours truly, using Poser 5.
