**WARNING**   The show’s second “F” bomb is dropped in the outtakes.

I had a lot of fun with this episode.  There were some late night recording sessions going on, but that just made it even more fun.  Best off, NEXT episode will be the Act One Finale!  Oh yes, cliff hanger ending, with a tension-building hiatus to follow!  After that, though, I will be dropping episodes weekly, as opposed to bi-weekly. So, every Wednesday, there will be a new Piggy Moto to enjoy.  Also, in the spirit of the weekly, episodic thing, I’ve produced the next episode as well, and will be dropping it next week, on schedule, so be SURE to check it out.

I’m serious.  Tell all your friends.  Get them all involved.  Post to pig-lovers websites, story websites, friends’ liveournals!  Download, print out and post the Piggy Moto Fliers in your favorite grown-up hangouts – coffeeshops, barts, etc (cause, you know, not for kids)  They have a week to listen to all ten episodes and get ready for the cliff hanger!  Do it  Do it   DOOO EEEEET!  Seriously.  They have the whole weekend to listen.  Cancel their plans.. Shut them in and duck tape headphones to their noggins.  Make them all listen!!

Once again, the opening theme: AaAaAa! came from Lazz.

The closing music, Baile de los caballeros reales, came from Andros.

Please be warned.. FA has some adult (and in some cases disturbing and disturbed) art. so.. if you don’t wanna see the bad stuff, then don’t sign up for an adult account :P.

Many of the sound effects I used came from the Freesound Project.  Check them out for all your sound effect needs.

Guest voices for this episode were performed by:

Corey Sprague : as Rachel Hoofmann

Laird Wetzel : as Eberhard Berringer.

Amanda Hugynkess : as Svurn, the angry patron

and

Sloane Cochran : as Corbin Zellig

This has got to be one of the most COMPLEX episodes I’ve ever produced!  Sheeeesh!  But, I’m extremely proud of how it’s come out.  We meet a new character in this chapter, and hear from a couple guys from a few episodes back.

Once again, the opening theme: AaAaAa! came from Lazz.

The closing music, Postcard, came from Since we Last Spoke.

War on Pigs

Curious thing!  There are a couple people who’ve taken steps AGAINST Piggy Moto!  Ain’t that f*ckin’ weird?!  Tell you what, though.  It means I’m getting under someone’s skin, which means the message is true.  People want us under their heels.  So, I’ve decided to step up.  I will be organizing our loyal sounder for mutual defense and life embetterment (does that even make sense?!)  More information to come, or drop me a line.. you KNOW the address…  Let’s fight back against these jerks – at all the jerks around the world who are jeleous and afraid of a handful of pigs enjoying a crap of equality!

Tien Vien

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Tien Vien is ruled by a cannibal court.  Or, at least, that’s what rumors say.  It is said that an immortal tiger rules over Tien Vien with an iron fist, and his court is the deadliest in the world.  It is said that the nobles of Tien Vien trade in slaves and souls.

But, people say a lot of things.

The truth is, so few people know anything at all about this isolated country.  While Tien Vieni pottery and ceramics are world renown for their strength and beauty, the are typically only bought in north western ports.  No western trading company has any established routes to Tien Vien.

The triplet minks of Ping Sing Ting come from Tien Vien

Forbidden Point

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Feared by Sailors and travelers alike, Forbidden Point is said to be cursed.  Nevertheless, adventurous souls and treasure seekers flock to this far, south place to find their fortune.  Those who do speak of it upon their return tell tales of glittering, magical cities in the wasteland.  There, dreams are won and lost with the flip of a coin, or the turn of a card.

Some refuse to speak at all of what they’ve seen.  Others are labeled insane.  They ramble and stammer – cry out in the night for fear of monsters and terrible, horrible things.  The only recurring tale is that of mostrous vermin and gigantic, poisonois beasts – huge spiders and scorpions.

Finn Whiskerbottom, who was hired on as an investigator during All Star Boar Band, claims to come from a place called Las Pallomas in Forbidden Point – where he alleges there are the finest casinos in all the world.

Mokumbo

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Very little is known about this strip of jagged mountains and thick jungles.   Many legends and roumors circulate about ancient civilizations that have left many ruins to pepper the treacherous peaks – each ancient city allegedly full of treasures that defy imagination.  So few artifacts exist to substantiate such claims, however.

There are, however, countless small, tree-top towns and villages along the Mokumbian border which, while primitive, are known for their hospitality.  It is also well known that the most potent medicines and priceless jewels come from this region.

The simian band, Twenty Finger Three also comes from Mokumbo

Adabba

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Adabba is not so much a country as it is a massive, self-sustaining, independent city state.

The most absolute power is held by the guild masters, which control all commerce surrounding the Never Ending City.  Beneath them stand the Sultans, who’ve carved Adabba up into their own personal districts, over which they have absolute power.

While outsiders are treated better than citizens, they are seen as money bags and very little more.  Once a foreigner outlives their value, they run the risk of disappearing into a sultan’s private collection of bodies.

Adabbian energy technology is the envy of the known world.  Their engineers have found ingenious ways to harness the sun, the winds, and even the desolate desert itself.  They have tamed a small corner of the burning lands, and created an oasis of beauty and comfort, which many are willing to risk and sacrifice their freedom to visit.

The band Gulab Tunak comes from Adabbai

Pallonia

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Pallonia is an ancient country with a rich and turbulent history.  In the most recent turn of political events, Pallonian females seized control of the country from the males.  They established a effective oligarchy and strict system of gender roles and so-called predator / prey decorum.

This country is renown for its philosophers and artisans, feats of civic engineering, for its mighty navy and ruthless land armies, as well as its somewhat lax moral clime.  Pallonian bathhouses are the subject of many discreet whispers shared in the corners of wealthy sun rooms and seedy taverns world wide.

Johan studies wine making in Pallonia during his younger years, and has many a story to tell that would bring a rosy hue to even Byron’s cheeks.

Moscrovia

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Once dominated by wolves, this harsh and mostly frozen land saw a massive civil war some 400 years ago.  Mice and deer, who outnumber predatory species 20 to 1, armed themselves, rose up, and slaughtered their oppressors.  The land was then divided amongst surviving Moscrovian families and all vestiges of centralized government were eradicated.

The tranquil “Mouse Family” model has been adopted as a form of government by most communities.  In this typically patriarchal system, anyone who can hold the land, organize his followers, and bring bounty to his people is ruler.  Subordinates are expected to contribute to the community in some meaningful way, or are banished, but nobody can be compelled to work or stay.

Mscrovians pride themselves on culture, hard work and education.  History and the arts are taught with the same passion that other countries may push religion and sports.  Artists and musicians are encouraged to create works that inspire the masses, beautify the home and community, and accurately report history as it happened.

Anastasia and her comrades Portruva, Alexi and Demetre come from this country.
