This is only a discussion blog, not a status blog. If you haven't read my blog below this one, please do so now (otherwise this won't make much sense).

For anyone reading this, let me be the first to say that I'm sorry for distrusting Krypto_glass (and I still do). There are a few reasons why all I can do is not believe that this is Mark Garabedian. I mean, you can't expect me to think that someone joins TV.com, and starts saying that he's a writer for KtS. It just isn't right. I mean, sure, if he had more proof, but...

That's another reason why I can't accept it. My pride...when I decided to spend five days straight searching for a way to contact WBA, I felt amazing when I knew I'd at least done something significant for the show, perhaps saving it. Now that Mark has, supposedly, given us the word that the episode ideas weren't recommended for production (whether legal purposes or otherwise), I feel that...well, my sense of purpose has been taken away from me.

I thought of myself highly, the one who did the impossible and tried to save the show. In the end, it was saved, but also it was done without our help. My efforts were useless, and nothing seems to make sense anymore. My pride has been shot down with a sniper rifle, and cut up with a knife (to put it metaphorically). I've never felt so meaningless, and I'm sorry to anyone whose hopes were also shattered by Mark's news. I'm sorry to everyone who I gave hope to, to those I assured would see their ideas be used.

There is, however, one more way to make sure that Krypto_glass is who he says he is. Tomorrow, Friday, is "The Parrot and the Pirates". He said that he wrote that episode. If that is true, then he has half of my trust. Later, if "Revolt of the Beavers" really airs, whether he is writer or not for that episode, he has the remaining half of my trust. Until then, I'm forced to have disbelief towards him.

I'm sorry, Mark, if you read this and get offended by it. But under the circumstances, I have the most doubt of anyone on the Krypto forums. True, while I didn't get a reply to my e-mail back, I suppose there's also the fact that you didn't even consider making the episode ideas into real episodes (or if you did consider it and just tossed the considerations, then that's fine too). What matters is that I've lost all confidence in myself.

I'll continue to watch the show, contribute, and love it. While I don't expect any remorse towards my situation right now, I do hope that, maybe sometime, you'll at least pitch the idea to use the episode ideas. I'll forever like the show, even if nothing monumental happens. And, most importantly of all, and again, I'm sorry to everyone.

Until then...

If you've seen my latest episode reviews, sorry for being so limited there. I was a little...confused by the new user, Krypto_glass (AKA Mark Garabedian, writer for KtS). As he's said, apparently, the episode ideas from TV.com weren't really used and this was all just coincidence. Now don't get me wrong. I did submit the ideas to WBA. I never got a response back, so what he's saying could be right and all of the episodes so far are just coincidence. But I'm starting to wonder...

He also said that, later, there's an episode named "Revolt of the Beavers". If what he says is truly correct, and he really is Mark, then I'll really believe he's the real deal when we see that the episode is real. Until then, I'm unfortunately forced to think this isn't right. We're supposed to expect that a writer for the show stumbles on TV.com and tells us everything he can about the show? Sorry, but at the moment, I'm not buying it...

Quick notes for Chaos Chronicles -

- Add Snooky Wookums, Delilah, and Mechanikat.

- Finish [MD] section and Forbidden Alchemy Seals.

- Modify Flashfire, James Cerosa's robe (red with black engravings), and check for Brain's blue hair strands.

Sincerely sorry, but I really think it's strange. As of the moment, I refuse to believe it's real until we get some proof. Until then 8)

God, I hate Sesame Street ;) OK, not that much, but I don't like having a level named after it. Then again...this is evil Bert we're talking about. You know? The one that wields a knife, a gun, and kills everyone around? He's gangsta for sure :lol:

But seriously, the newest episodes were...acceptable. Not the best, but they both got 9.7/10s. KtS so far has four TV.com originals, and one precursor to a future original ("Bailey's Back", "Solar Specs", "Too Many Cooks", and "Andrea Finds Out", plus the hint to a future episode, "Join the Club"). All of these were done by X-626. Now, this might be more than coincidence. I actually said in my e-mail (and I quote) "You should pay close attention to the ones done by X-626. He's thought of some pretty good ones so far." At the time, he was the best episode idea maker, and I still love seeing some of his new ideas ;)

That's really all for me. The latest things I've submitted should raise my level even higher ;) Until then 8)

Status - Level 11, 87% (so close), 677 posts, 2 new reviews, 16 new pending contributions (should raise my level by tomorrow).

As I've seemed to have noticed (after dcfan1 and catfan1 pointed it out), the newest episode of KtS, "Too Many Cooks / Join the Club" features one of our TV.com originals. "Too Many Cooks" it seems is a slightly modified version of the idea where Brainy is gone for the day and Krypto is in charge of the Dog Stars. Instead, Brainy gets knocked out, and the other Dog Stars fight over who gets to be leader for the moment, while Krypto goes out to retreive the ship's fuel source from a planet. "Join the Club" doesn't seem like one, but I believe it could be hinting towards a future episode (which could possibly be another episode idea). Snooky starts to idolize Supercat more, which could mean he'll decide to quit working for Mechanikat in the future.

Though some episodes don't seem like it, they really are originals in a way. For instance, "Andrea Finds Out" doesn't have the same exact storyline, but it revolves around the same concept as the EI, where Andrea learns the "Super Secret". Not the same storyline, but it really is the episode idea, only modified in a way that the KtS production team could enhance it. Personally, I think I like the version on TV better than X-626's idea (no offense ;)). In any case, some of the newer episodes that have yet to come look promising. "Bailey's Back", "Catopia", "Robbie's Return", and "Face Time" all sound like the TV.com ideas. While I'm at it, I might as well say that, even if they don't seem like it at first, some of the episodes could be based on the TV.com ones. The newest one is an idea and a foreshadowing of an idea all in one.

It's up for you all to decide, but these really are what you've been working for, and I definitely thank everyone for doing your best ;) I couldn't stand letting such good ideas go to waste, so I had to seek out a way to contact WBA. And in the end, it was all worth while. Remember, "Join the Club" could be a hint at what's to come.

OK, now that I've gotten that out, on to other things. Chaos Chronicles is still not started yet, the newest submissions of mine should level me up, and the future for Krypto is looking brighter. Better get some Solar Specs 8) I'm definitely hoping everyone reads this blog, because I feel that people should hear what I think on the newest developments of the new season. In any case, my opinions have been voiced.

Until then 8)

The newest episodes were pretty good, if not just alright. They were mostly comedy episodes, but with a nice Stretch-O-Mutt appearance. Also, I didn't get as many contributions as I wanted to, but hopefully these should be enough to get me another level (highly doubt it for some reason :x). Read my reviews if you're interested ;) Thankfully, I got episode summaries, crew, notes, quotes, and a trivia piece done, so I should be set. Stretch-O-Mutt really does make things better, yet I might've given the newest episodes lower scores than Growing Pains / K-9 Crusader...oh well. I thought the newer ones were better ;) 9.6 / 9.7 respectively.

Chaos Chronicles is going along smoothly. Still not completely done with the reference section, but I'm getting there. I've got plenty of character descriptions to finish, half of the "12 Forbidden Alchemy Seals" to do, and the [MD] section still needs working on. Yes, it is hard, and it's getting harder every time I find a mistake. Mostly, I have to think about a lot of the chapters that I'm about to be doing and how they should run. After all, a chapter about Earth getting invaded isn't easy to do 8)

That's really it for me. TV.com is mostly fixed now, but some people still haven't gotten credit for things done on Friday (unlike myself). I wish the best of luck to them. Until then 8)

Now I'm mad :evil: Apparently, we won't get any credit for what we've done on Friday and Saturday. There's a slight chance we might get credit for Saturday events, but it'll take a miracle for anything on Friday. Apparently, the TV.com staff is either away, or too busy fixing the site, because a lot of things aren't working: PMs, reviews, level updates, the works...aughhh...this sucks! I have 24 submissions down the drain because I won't get any level points (though contribution points for the show increased...I hardly care about that right now).

I might just take my time today finishing up my Chaos Chronicles reference section. Please fix things, TV.com. Until then :(

Status - Level 11, 5% (that's what I'll be asking about), 656 posts, nothing new.

Contribution Status - 118 accepted, 0 pending, 12 denied, 130 total.

OK, has anyone else gotten an update for level and percentage today? I was at 5% yesterday, and I'm still there, even though I submitted 24 - 25 things and did 2 reviews and everything. Some other people are having this problem, I know. Anyone else besides me and the others? Also, will the levels be fixed by tomorrow, or do the points from yesterday not count? People have been saying that since it didn't update, the site's forgotten all about any points we've earned yesterday. And yet somehow I don't believe that...

My Chaos Chronicles reference guide is still in the works, but good God is it gonna be hard to finish it. Yes, I'm adding precise character descriptions for Krypto, Superman, Kevin, the Dog Stars, and anyone else in the Krypto universe that needs explaining (but not anyone in the Justice League, because that'd take up way too much time). I have to put in things like age, birthday, height, physical description, clothing, occupation, and type of magic user (most of these have to be implied or made up, but I'm doing surprisingly well with them).

Still haven't finished the section, obviously, so I can't start on Story 1 Chapters 0 and 1 and on. Mostly I'm implying that most of my readers will know who Superman and the rest of the Justice League are (I still had to describe Kal for specific reasons...). I'm also implying that some of my readers will have no idea what a lot of the KtS characters will look like, so describing them is a must. If anyone has trouble, I'd just tell them to do some research 8) Seriously, though, it'll take me at least 5 more hours to finish it...

Well, that's it for me. I have 9 icons in my status section in that direction -----> See them? I thought so ;) Nothing big, but it's more than I'd ever hope to have. KtS season 2 is well under way, and the next set of episodes begins Monday. I might have a bit of trouble contributing from now on, because I know for a fact that people will be able to submit things faster than me. I have school after all ;) I'm still well ahead with 188 points, so I can live off of quotes and crew members for a while.

OK, enough talking. Until then, and happy season 2 8)

Status - Level 11 (yay, new level), 5%, 645 posts, 2 new reviews (guess what they are...), 24 new pending contributions (I must've lost track of how many I was really doing...19 of them are quotes :?).

Yes, I'm now a Red Shirted Lt. Congrats to me on my new level. Yes I know 8) By the way, has anyone ever contributed to an episode or a show, thinking you got every detail of it just right, then when it got published, part of it was missing? Yeah, that's happened to me once so far. Go to "Andrea Finds Out" in the Krypto section, look in the notes, and you'll see which one I'm talking about ;) Somehow, the "appearance" got taken off...

The newest episodes were nice. We got to see Squeaky and the fan club again (and also, I believe Raymone has a new voice actor, because his voice was really different [he's the brown kitten, Puff's the white one]). In order (Reptile Round-Up / Streaky's Field Trip), I gave them 9.7 / 10. Check out my reviews ;) And did anyone notice Bat Hound's new "toys"? I hope he uses them more :D

Chaos Chronicles will be one of my priorities today. Finishing up the reference section should be hard, but thinking about how to describe alchemy symbols is harder :question: If, by a snowball's chance in you-know-where I do get it done, I'll be working on CCs1c0 and CCs1c1 (Chaos Chronicles Story 1 Chapter 0 / 1, it's my way of coding).

That's it for me. Wish me luck getting all 24 submissions through (they should all go through...2 are summaries, 2 are crew, 1 is an allusion, 2-3 are notes, and 16-17 are quotes). Until then, and happy season two 8)

***Update*** - All were accepted except for one (my contributions). It was an episode note, and I resubmitted it to get it right, and X-626 still had to fix it to get it right. Personally, it would've been just fine and understandable if he hadn't, but I can't really complain :lol:

Status - Level 10, 79%, 638 posts, 2 new reviews, some large amount of new pending contributions.

Well, I was late getting home today, and as a cost for that, someone got the episode summary before I did. Then again, I suppose I can't always be the first to get something done ;) Besides, I'm at 139 points right now, and no one (except for rtkat, but he never contributes anymore) has at least half of my points (well, there's X-626 and shatterdaymorn, but I suppose those are technically different).

I was about to work on a few things for my Chaos Chronicles reference section. Which reminds me...

- Add capes, Annihilator symbols, and memorycraft alchemy symbols to Annihilators and Maximus.

- Modify Cerosa Bloodline, possibly Memorycraft, The Release, and anything else needing attention.

- Finish all character descriptions as so far formatted.

- Add [MD] Section, all 12 forbidden alchemy symbols, Energy Blast, and anything else that could need adding.

I loved today's episodes. Does anyone else think that "Andrea Finds Out" could change the way the show works, such as adding in another viewpoint (from Andrea), or having her there during missions? This could get interesting ;)

That's it for me. Until then 8)
