Bioniclestory.com Question


OK, so I'm working on updating the text for BIONICLEstory.com (for release in July), and I've run across a question which I think my BZP compadres will be able to answer.

 

I need to include Agori villagers in the Heroes, Villains & More section. But I don't think it's substantially a different category from Matoran. Question: Should the "Matoran" section be changed to "Villagers" to include Agori? Or is it worth a new category?

 

Granted, there were Matoran in Metru Nui who weren't exactly living in a village, but for most of the saga, the little guys have been villagers. So whaddaya think?

 

I'll probably have more questions as I go along.

Villagers seem fine to me, but a new category would be great too. :)

 

:v:

I guess Villagers should be fine ^^ But it's not that much of a deal if you make two categories.

Oh, so BIONICLEstory.com will be released at the same time as BIONICLE.com? Good news. :)

 

I think villagers is just fine, just better update the pic with an Agori. But a seperate category will be okay, too. Will you also add the Mistika?

A new category would be nice, but it would seem repetitive and cluttered to those who did not understand what Matoran are (aka, new fans). So, Villagers would be it.

That's pretty much my thinking... what will be easy for new fans to understand? Since you guys already know. :)

As far as I'm concerned, if the Glatorian are not getting their own category, then neither should Agori. Simplicity is key to order. However, if Glatorian are getting their own category, then I believe Agori should too, in order to separate the old from the new.

 

One thing to consider, however, is that whether or not Gresh and Lewa are heroes, people may get confused between the two races -- think they are both either Toa or Glatorian. Perhaps the Bara Magnans need their own categories or some form of distinct separation from the Matoran Universe?

 

Just a thought.

Definitely villagers. That's the collective term I use anyway. And come on, that's what they are.

NEW CATEGORY.

 

It would seriously be confuzzling to the new fans if you didn't.

You could change it to Villagers and then put Matoran and Agori as two subcategories within the Villagers category.

Villagers, when we get past seven Agori, make it a new category.

Put them in the same category but saying the difference. :)

As long as there is a clear distinction between Matoran and Agori, like grouped by Matoran Universe and Bara Magna, "Villagers" would be fine. If not, then Agori needs its own section.

Well, it might be easier for new fans to understand it better if you made a new category. I mean, then they might get a Matoran and Agori confused... See what I'm trying to say?

 

As for me, I don't particularly care. Just having it villagers is perfectly fine with me. :]

Agori deserve their own page, since they are the basis for the Matoran. But while you're at it Bink, a lot of the Bioniclestory.com story info is incredibly out of date. Think you can lasso it back into up-to-date-ness?

Changing it to Villagers seems to be the best route, Bink

Villagers with subcategories? =D

 

I second that. I think that you could add to the Matoran something like "Matoran Universe" and the Agori "Bara Magna" in their pages or something... Maybe, you only need to put the subcategories (Like, Matoran Universe and Bara Magna) and then add a small introduction at the living beings of this world. For example, you enter Matoran Universe, there's the whole list, and there put something like: Biomechanical entitites created by the Great Beings... :)

 

And while we're at it, you could add both to Mata Nui's page (Cause our favorite (and only :P) Great Spirit is getting one, riiiight?) :P
