Regitnui Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think the *headdesk* is more for the fact that these always go in the same direction, circling the same logical drain they always do until the attention span of this forum drifts away. 3 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

These topics always seem to go in a cycle of debates/discussions that's happened before that ends up accumulating to nothing.

Regitnui Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The proposal I'm in favour of is changing the gender-lock to gender-dominance. The elements exist as is, with the majority of every element except water, lightning and psionics being masculine, but there are about 30% (max) of the matoran made since the MU came online that exhibit more traits of the opposite gender. If you want a reasoning, call it programming glitches. A 'Good Bad Bug', to trope it out. It could even be caused as a side effect of Velika raising the drones to full sentience. Wham, bam, done. Gender balance more equal while allowing canon to remain unmolested. 4 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone?

Gender balance more equal while allowing canon to remain unmolested.This, basically. Defining a gender in terms of "traits" is a tad inaccurate, since really the only thing that truly defines a person's gender is what they choose to identify as, but I like the idea of it being only a majority. I think Greg eventually canonised something like this after the Orde debacle, saying that there potentially are Matoran that identify as something other than what they were programmed to be, though the numbers would be far smaller than 30%.

Alyska Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Uh, do you visit these threads with the sole intention of annoying yourself, then? You've already indicated that you don't like them... or are you referring to the type of discussion, as opposed to the subject itself? 2 Quote 3DS Friend Code: 0018-0767-4231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 A good rule of thumb: if the only reason you're posting in the thread is to passive-aggressively complain that the thread exists, don't post in it.

Prime Axiom Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I have a good solution. Make it so that the gender ratios mirror the exact gender ratios of real life. Problem solved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regitnui Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I have a good solution. Make it so that the gender ratios mirror the exact gender ratios of real life. Problem solved.How would that work out? Humanity doesn't divide neatly into six (12?) tribes, nor is the gender ratios simple enough to be applied to biomechanical, non-reproducing beings. 2 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone?
