QUOTE(Wrinkledlion X @ Aug 28 2010, 03:20 PM)  QUOTE QUOTE A few questions here: 1. BS01 says this about Matoran of Gravity: QUOTE The Matoran do not have access to the element itself, but can manifest their own power in an acute way. What exactly does this mean? Is it something like the abilities of Av-Matoran, or is it just a vague way of saying that they have elemental traits, like any Matoran, that are unspecified as of now? 2. Is it necessary to run Matoran prefixes through legal before releasing them? Most of them are only two letters, after all, and I'm sure that most of them are already words in many languages. Perhaps the fans could vote for Matoran prefixes sometime? 1) No idea what that refers to, I didn't write it and it doesn't make sense to me either. 2) I don't really see the point of coming up with prefixes for Matoran who aren't showing up in story. If I need a prefix, I come up with one. Bah humbug I'll change it. It's basically saying that they can manifest their powers in a small way, as all Matoran can. Makes sense to me, but eh. -------------------- Still... we ravage the world that we love... and the millions cry out to be saved... our endless maniacal appetite... Left us with another way to die!  It's just another way to die! Can we repent in time? |

Just for lulz.
QUOTE QUOTE Hi, GregF  Well, I know already from Tren Krom that you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, since he's Cthulhu-inspired and all, but when that bright, tentacled, ancient being appeared in Sahmad's Tale, that struck me as WAY more Lovecraftian, because of how horrifying the concept is. I just wanted to ask the question - was this thing at all inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos or Weird Horror in general? If you can't answer at this point that's okay, but I just wanted to know as a little fun fact since I'm a fan of the genre. Thanks, Cap'n K No, not really. -------------------- Sayonara.

to the matoran of gravity question, could a Matoran of gravity have better sense of balance? because small abilities like that are best.

QUOTE QUOTE Mr. Farshtey, after learning that GN10 will no longer be published, I need to ask you some questions I counted on being answered there: 1)How did Tarduk manage to reach the center of the Valley of the Maze? The first traps were almost deadly even for Mata Nui, and Tarduk didn't know the answer to the riddle of the Great Beings. 1a)How did he end up chained? 2)How were the Element Lords trapped after the Core War? I've asked you this question many times, but now that Gn10 will no longer come out I expect no answer will be given. 2a)Will the Element Lords ever be featured again in future story? 3)When the work on GN10 was first halted, you said that if it wasn't published, you'd post the part you'd already written on Bzp. However, you now said that the script is Papercutz's property and therefore you can't post it here. Could you explain the contradiction? 3a)Also, if the script is ever published, will it be canon? Thank you for your time, Toa of Italy 1) None of that was written yet. I don't plan my stories ahead of time, I come up with them as I write. 1a) Same answer 2) Same answer 2a) No idea at this point 3) Simple. When I gave the initial answer, they had stated they would pay me for the work I had already done but I had not decided whether to take them up on that offer. Once I did accept the offer, the script became theirs and I can't do anything with it. 3a) Yes, but I doubt it will ever be published. Great. Now the only hope of getting these questions answered will be to make a GN10 contest. I'm still hoping for it. |

Hello Mr.Farshety,
1. I was wondering can alternate universes be created from other alternate universes? Like for example say could an alternate universe come into being where the Toa Empire and Tuyet killed Takanuva and his allies? 2.When a Mask of Intangilibity user activates his/her Kanohi does he/she automatically sink into the ground? 3. Will it ever be revealed what became of the Toa Empire? 4. Will any of the Toa Nuva die in The Powers that Be? 5. When Toa Tanma became a Toa in The Kingdom did he re-change his color to gold/white? 6. Who is older Berix or Tarduk? Thank, 1) Yes 2) No 3) I don't have plans to go back there at the moment 4) I can't discuss future storyline plans 5) Yes 6) Tarduk -------------------- Tuma55

Their is an infinite amount of alternate universes so I d'ont think it would be worth canonzing every single one.

Well, at least according to BIONICLE rules, EVERY alt. universe is canon. Every possible outcome of every possible situation will have an alternate dimension. Everything that possibly could exist has it's own alternate dimension. There are an infinite number of alternate dimensions, and the amount of them is constantly growing.

So I guess there's an alternate dimension where biomechanical beings are sitting at their computers on a forum discussing our lives.

Pretty deep. Actually, it doesn't quite work that way, because an alternate dimension is formed when one dimension splits into two. Meaning one Takanuva went into one alternate universe, which later became two alternate universes; one with "our" Takanuva in it and one with a dead Takanuva in it. -------------------- QUOTE It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young heroine in possession of a strong and independent personality must be in want of a boyfriend. However little known the feelings or views of such a heroine may be on her first entering a canon, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding shippers that she is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their favourite male characters. |
