Once again I'd like to welcome everyone, now straight to more business.
The revised one-hundred-sixty-fourth article proposed by Ballom, Kohila, & Toa_Ausar is as follows:
Ballom, Kohila, & Toa_Ausar hereby propose that the consequence of "Probation" administered upon "TOA" Erebus Nuva as a result of his violation of the "C.I.R.C.L.E. Participation Policy" be lifted.
As a result, his votes shall once again be counted as "5/5" of one tally, furthermore, all his other membership privileges shall return to normal at the time of this article's confirmation as well.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The revised one-hundred-eighty-forth article proposed by Iro is as follows:
Iro hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exists a mysterious helm known as the Ţevch (ZHEHVK), which grants the user the ability to plan out the end result of a sequence of events, then implement this desire, and due to a chain reaction, it will occur, provided the outcome was within reason.
For example, if a user wished to move a boulder that was too large to do so under the user's own power, they could use a Ţevch to initiate a series of events that would, in the end, somehow move the boulder. It must be noted however the user cannot control when or how the necessary sequence of events will occur, only that they will result in the desired conclusion. Furthermore, there are sometimes consequences of a Ţevch's use, which tend to vary depending upon the will of the user. The weaker the will, the more negative the consequences may be will be, thus in the above quoted example, the boulder might end up being moved, but if the user had a weak will, there is a good chance of them being injured by a charging Kane-Ra stampede that ended up moving the boulder, or something of the like. Meanwhile, beings with stronger wills tend to have their action accomplished with minimal or no harm done to them.
Also, a specific user may only use any given Ţevch once and only once before the helmet is rendered useless to that user. The Ţevch itself does not become powerless however, and can therefore be passed on to a new user who could then exercise a single use of their own.
Ţevch are not native to Spherus Magna and their origin remains unknown. Some say that a Ţevch served as a prototype for Kanohi, meanwhile others insist that not even the Great Beings knew that such a helmet existed at the time of the Kanohi's development. There are two Ţevch that are known to exist; one in the Matoran Universe, and a second that was once in the possession of the Great Being named Yzaa. Yzaa gave his Ţevch to the being named Ulreq, who retains possession of it despite having used its' power.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-fourth article proposed by Zorrakh is as follows:
Zorrakh hereby proposes that within the "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" around 900 Y.A.G.C., many Toa and Matoran from across the Matoran Universe traveled to the Isle of Marak Nui to seek shelter and a better opportunity at life, after a team of thirty-six Toa claimed the island as their own. The peak number of Toa citizens was close to one-thousand as Toa were used as the military on the island and the peak number of Matoran citizens was around five-thousand. Although some Steltians and Vortixx live in the coast of Lihvik Bay, the island’s population consists mostly of Toa and Matoran.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-fifth article proposed by Koji is as follows:
Koji hereby proposes that within the "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist regions that are governed by a serf system, most notably on the Isle of Stelt.
Matoran work under this system in exchange for passage, or tools, or anything they need, and most work for other Matoran, Steltians, or someone else who has "ownership" over them. This system of governing is outlawed on more "sophisticated" islands such as the Island City of Metru Nui, but on other islands, like the aforementioned Stelt, it remains the tried and true method.
In some cases, a Matoran will be bought into serfdom as a result of being unable to repay someone, effectively making them more of a slave, and the system defends the rights of the "owner" over those of the "enslaved" Matoran. This serfdom can last from a day to one-hundred years, it all depends on why the system was implemented in any given situation. If the debt was high, chances are it will be at least one year before compensation is given. However if the debt was low, servitude is more likely only a week or two.
Some less-fortunate Matoran have been forcibly placed into serfdom out of fear for their lives, but this occasion is atypical, except for on Stelt, where Matoran have good reason to fear for their lives with so many more powerful, and less morally bound beings around.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-sixth article proposed by Zorrakh is as follows:
Zorrakh hereby proposes that within the "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" the Isle of Marak Nui consists mostly of metallic Protodermis and for this reason, the early inhabitants of the island mined extensively and sold the Protodermis. Their main consumer was the Isle of Xia, who required the substance for most of their projects and items for retail. The Brotherhood of Makuta and the Nynrah Ghosts also bought large quantities of the Marak Nui Protodermis.
An incident on the Isle of Marak Nui that occurred around the same time as the dissolving of the League of Six Kingdoms killed all the island’s inhabitants. For several years no one dared to even travel through the Dome of Marak Nui for fear that they would experience the same fate as the original inhabitants. As a repercussion of that event, no more Protodermis was mined, and so Xia’s production rate decreased dramatically until they could some other sources to buy the necessary resources from.
The Isle of Marak Nui has since been repopulated, thus mining has now resumed, and at a higher rate than before.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-seventh article proposed by Zahaku is as follows:
Zahaku hereby proposes that parallel to the "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist two alternate universes known as "The Empire of Kohilå Alternate Universe" and "The Republic of Darkness Alternate Universe". Each of these two universes have a set of armour similar to the Farcron Armour found in "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" and can be accessed by use of one of the three suits of armour.
In the "The Empire of Kohilå Alternate Universe", Tuyet formed the Toa Empire and seized control of the Matoran Universe. Lhikan and Nidhiki were imprisoned after their fight with Tuyet. The Toa Hytrax formed a group known as the "Reflections of the Sword", an organization dedicated returning the universe to its’ pre-Toa Empire state. Many others joined them including two Toa of Rahi named Zåhåku and Kohilå. The two were sent on a spy mission, but were discovered and as they fled ran into Empress Tuyet herself. Zåhåku was killed and enraged, Kohilå killed Tuyet in self-defense. He then took command of the Toa Empire and set himself against his former allies. The technology in this universe is actually less-advanced than most, with weaponry consisting largely of simple swords, axes, spears, etc., and the only ranged weapons being bows.
In the "The Republic of Darkness Alternate Universe", Takanuva formed an army of Toa of Light when he learnt that Teridax, a rogue member of the Brotherhood of Makuta, was creating an army of Shadow Toa, though it is unknown how these armies were formed as no Matoran had disappeared. The war destroyed the lives of thousands across the Matoran Universe before a third army, made up of members of nearly every species, and led by a Toa of Darkness, emerged. The survivors of the first two armies were imprisoned and a purge of all things related to both Light and Shadow began in an effort to bring about balance. Many of the Makuta were executed and the Av-Matoran were imprisoned. As the universe set to rebuild, the leader of the third army vanished, and the Republic of Darkness was created in his honor. The technology in this universe is virtually identical to that of "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe".
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-eighth article proposed by Zorrakh is as follows:
Zorrakh hereby proposes that within the "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" the word "Zagranok" (ZAH-gruh-nahk) shall henceforth be considered an adjective in the Matoran language used to describe an individual who is openly against the concept of the Three Virtues, namely Dark Hunters, Makuta, and traitorous Toa. The word itself is a blend of the prefix "Za-", meaning "fear", the noun "Gra", meaning "pride", and the noun "Nok", meaning "darkness".
This term is also the name Toa Horrakah Zorrakh chose to give the sword he uses as his Toa Tool.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-ninth article proposed by Koji is as follows:
Koji hereby proposes that within the "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe", just a few years prior to the Great Cataclysm, the Vortixx discovered a batch of viruses hidden on the Isle of Xia, each containing a trace amount of energies. Using these viruses, one Vortixx ordered the creation of a batch of stones with the energies harnessed within these viruses. As a result, the "Corps Stones" (KOHR STOHNS) contained scant measures of both Elemental Powers and Toa Power, and were employed as covert special operations weaponry.
The original goal was going to be the creation of a team of commando Matoran, each equipped with a Corps Stone of their element. Using the stone, they would be able to unleash the energy into their body, becoming a Toa for about ten minutes at a time, until the energy would run out and need to recharge for about an hour. In this form, they would have all the typical Toa abilities, and their Kanohi would become Great.
The plan was scrapped when the Great Cataclysm hit, but some still saw potential, and started selling the Corps Stones. A few Makuta saw that they would be useful, and purchased them en mass for their own goals. Some of the more corrupt ones started using their powers of Darkness and Anger to taint Matoran minds momentarily, so they could use their superior mental powers to rewire the Matoran's brains, and keep them in a state of this evil. Then, giving them the stones, the Makuta would have a fighting force to wield in combat as a small army. The idea became known as "Project: Toa Corps" (PRAH-ject TOH-uh KOHR).
Corps Niveau Un (KOHR NIH-voh OOHN) - "Level One" - the "initial" form, giving the user all powers of a standard Toa.
Corps Niveau Deux (KOHR NIH-voh DOO) - "Level Two" - the "bestial" form, taken after Un fails, much more powerful in all regards, faster, stronger, and more deadly. The instincts of the user start to devolve to an extent, however, and they become more Rahi-like.
Corps Niveau Trois (KOHR NIH-voh TWAH) - "Level Three" - the "concept" form, one that should never be taken, for once used, nothing can stop it. Even the creators of the Corps Stones and the Makuta themselves fear this. In concept, the user becomes a massive beast, towering over any structure on the island - approximately half the size of the Coliseum of Metru Nui. This form's powers are relatively unknown, but what is assumed that the mind would be completely shattered, and replaced by that of nothing more than a wild Rahi.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-tenth article proposed by Koji is as follows:
Koji hereby proposes that within the "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist suits of armor known as "Exo-Armor" (EK-soh-AHR-mer). Similar to an Exo-Toa, this armor is created for Matoran use in order to increase their strength and overall range of capabilities. The armor raises them to nearly the size of a Toa, but is bulkier in some cases depending upon the specific model of Exo-Armor. The associated weaponry also varies, but most use the same operating system, as well as a self-contained energy source derived from the harnessed power of Lava-Gems. The suits are made in situations where there are little to no Toa or other such defenders, thus allowing for the Matoran to fend for themselves.
Exo-Armor suits are very heavy, and as such difficult to move around when not being controlled. Skillfully controlling the suits also takes years to learn and longer to master. Most model suits are simply ground units, but variations of Exo-Armor exist for air, water, heat, or subterranean usage, amongst other specialties. All models of Exo-Armor suits are very costly and resource-intensive to build, but are typically very much worth creating.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
And with that said, I open this thread up for discussion on the various articles for the proposed enhancement of our group structure and joint storyline.
Please be sure to vote on all nine articles in this thread.
Also, note that this discussion and the corresponding voting will end at 1200 PST (Noon in the Pacific Time Zone) on Monday, April 12th, 2010 provided at least 2/3 of C.I.R.C.L.E. members have voted at that point.
Lastly, the C.I.R.C.L.E. members will be notified of the results via the C.I.R.C.L.E. Results Overview & Discussion thread, however, when there are other blog threads where authors can vote on the proposals surrounding the details of C.I.R.C.L.E., that communication will still happen via PM.
Thanks.
