C. I. R. C. L. E. Members -> Read This


Kohila

Okay you guys, we need to make the final push and finish up the site. I'll go ahead and break this entry up into sections to address the various areas of the site that need work.

 

Who all needs to work on the site?

 

If you are a member of "The C.I.R.C.L.E.", you have the duty of filling in all of the information on the various characters, locations, etc. concerning your storyline. So far, most of the pages have been created by Toa_Åusår and I, leaving the information to be filled in by you.

 

What all can we do to help on the site?

 

That's a fairly easy question to answer. At this point, we're aiming to add the bulk information. I'm actually coining names to the various people working on the Wiki -- "Compilers" and "Sculptors". The former are the people who add the bulk information, while the latter sculpt the articles and refine the grammar. You can do either job, but make sure that we keep the levels balanced. Remember -- if we don't have enough Compilers, we don't have information; if we don't have Sculptors, then the articles look sub-par.

 

Why are we doing this?

 

The mission of this site is to provide an organized encyclopedia for every aspect of the Universe that we have molded ourselves. Every little bit of information serves a purpose; we need to gather said information and put it in a place.

 

When should I start?

 

Whenever you can start. We need as many people to do this as we can get.

 

Where is the site?

 

The Wiki can be found Here.

 

What can we expect in the future from The C.I.R.C.L.E.?

 

This blog will be revamped entirely as a sub-section of "The C.I.R.C.L.E.". It shall forever be known as "The C.I.R.C.L.E. News and Information Hub". Every contest, everything related to the Wiki... It will be posted here. We need to revitalize life into our group, and the best way to do that is to provide fun, interactive things for the members (And non-members) to do.

I believe every one of my articles is actually up to date. So mine are all fine. But, for anything, I'd rather compile than sculpt.

I can help, but not very much right away.

 

But as soon as summer hits... Hehe... yeah, I can update a lot more. So, please don't count me out but don't necessarily expect things right away.

Also, if any members feel they need new articles created, no matter what the article is, then feel free to let me know by posting a request on My Wiki Talk Page, however because there is so much to do and I am only one person, I ask that you please be sure to indicate if your request is High Priority, Average Priority, or Low Priority in terms of how soon you need it created so that you can help us with more wikiwork yourself.

I'd rather sculpt than compile, to be honest, except for Terra Nui, which I can help compile. But I'm rather booked with school stuff for now, so I might have to wait until the summer to help out. Nevertheless, I'll do my best. :D

Am I a member?

Neelh:

 

You are indeed one of those currently nominated, however unfortunately the confirmation process has been delayed by the prolonged absence of a few members, Tårth and Legend of Lesovikk to be specific.

 

Anyway, we'll be sure to let all the nominees know once the expansion proceeds.

 

Oh, and rest assured that there will be plenty of time after that to add your information to our Wiki.

I'll try to get in on this as soon as I finish school at the end of the month. I actually have a wiki for the Fractures universe and stuff, so I can work with this one pretty well (although ours is kinda' suffering from the lack of editing). I'll be glad to help when I can, although I don't think I'll add too much that involves events in my epic.

I guess this would be a good opportunity to point out to everyone that my series as presented on BZPower would have to be heavily altered to fit into the C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe - many events simply don't work in the canon Bionicle universe, which violates the rule that the C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe only adds to the canon story rather than altering what had already been established. Just a few examples - I have a story depicting the League of Six Kingdoms as a well-established force when the story takes place before the Barraki were even created canonically, and a few Dark Hunters appear before the Dark Hunter organization was formed canonically. Also, some stories are set on islands of a small archipelago that simply would not fit anywhere on the Matoran Universe map published in 2008, and of course, starting in my third epic I've featured events going beyond the scope of the canon Bionicle universe, introducing god-like characters and dealing heavily with their affairs. Books after the one I'm writing now will focus even more heavily on them, and by the ninth book (with the sixth one about to end now) they will move from mysterious players in the background to actual main characters.

 

My overall point being: My series can only be semi-canonical within the C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe, and beyond the sixth book, it can't really be canonical at all. This is the main reason why I have added very little to the group yet, because I haven't had a chance to sort out what can even be suggested without conflicting the main story. Once I get some freetime, I will go through and figure out what parts fit in canonically and what parts don't, and then I'll start working on putting the adapted version on the wiki. Also, between books, I'll try to do some more short stories or even short sidestory epics that can fit into our canon, so I don't run out of things to contribute to the group after Book 6 ends.

 

Oh, and I'm willing to do the work of a compiler or a sculptor. I have experience with MediaWiki markup, so once I get everything of mine onto the wiki, I can do some technical stuff.

Sorry, been wrapped up in my exams recently, Ive barely had time to go take part in the C.I.R.C.L.E never mind the rest of BZP.

Ill try and get back as soon as possible.

And Auserv, you could always base your storyies in a Alt Universe.

Well, at some point, the story departs entirely from the canon story. Already I've made too many radical changes for this to be a simple alternate universe (most importantly being that the universe has alternate timelines of its own). It would have to be another reality entirely, that just happened to have a few things in common with the C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe. :P
