I might be able to send you certain things (for instance, I'm going out to Target today, so I may pick up an extra Mata Nui while I'm there, however I have yet to finish my collection of this year's sets, so I'm not sure about anything yet), but I'll have to consult my mother on it.

So, I'll see, then get back to you.

Well, I was just glancing at you Blog, and I became curious: What exactly is the deal with notification? That is to say, does a C.I.R.C.L.E. Member just say, "I'm going to be gone for a while, I'll be back whenever," and that's it, or is there something more? Now, this is just me; I'm not affected by any of this, but I am insatiably curious.

~ BioGaia

Well, I hope you get well soon, and don't have anything too bad.

~ BioGaia

OK, Toa_Ausar, that makes sense, however the fact that people typically claim even the most useless land is a pointless arguement unless you want to contradict the official storyline.

To quote from BS01,

During the reign of the League of Six Kingdoms, the Barraki did not capture many of the islands, due to the fact that they were strategically worthless.

So it really doesn't make any sense that Carapar and Takadox would take all of the Southern Islands. Meanwhile, Pridak acutally claimed Botar's home Island, so this map is slightly factually flawed.

Additionally, I simply thought that the empty arms looked . . . odd, but it's reasonable. I just thought that the arms were a bit too long for so few Islands.

~ BioGaia

Oops, I meant that this map's arms are only partially filled, although I think that they should be filled completely.

~ BioGaia

Velox, you're simply way too awesome. Stop being so cool.

Anyway, I think that it would be good if you added the fact that an apostrophe is not actually used for the possessive of a name ending in "s". It's a pretty common error, so much so that people actually accept the incorrect form as being correct. For instance, you would say, Cass's, not Cass'. However, the ancient forms of -us/-es names have only an apostrophe added on, not the -'s (e.g., Jesus', Oedipus').

I hope I made sense there.

~ BioGaia

Although I'm not a big fan of the idea that the Matoran Universe is located in the body of a robot, this looks OK. However, there are quite a few problems I have with the map:

None of the Southern Islands (being "only fit for stone rats") were claimed by the Barraki, so this can't be canonical. Additionally, Mata Nui's arms aren't filled with islands, unlike his legs. Finally, the right (Mata Nui's left) side is almost empty, although some blank space may be good for later C.I.R.C.L.E. expansion.

~ BioGaia

LOL, Zahaku; I didn't even notice!

~ BioGaia

Sounds like an awesome idea; I'll join! I hope to be finished with a little Short Story by the time this is up-and-running, so this seems perfect!

~ BioGaia

As a congratulation, you get the "Imaginary WeBlog Seal of BioGaia." Now imagine one.

~ BioGaia

Sweet; I just read it! Very well written, I must say, and I hope to get around to reviewing it sometime tomorrow.

(So, now I have to review your latest chapter, Ballom's entire Epic, Cap'n K's latest Epic, and Zahaku's first chapter. Now watch -- somebody else will post a new chapter or something, and I don't get around to doing anything. )

~ BioGaia

Just type in

"[font="Monotype Corsiva"]", then type whatever you want to say before typing"[/font]".

So, it should look like this (with the brackets removed to beat the filter):

font="Monotype Corsiva"The "M" and "C" don't actually have to be capitalized, but I type them in uppercase out of habit and personal preference/font.

Oh, and make sure to make the size something like four or five.

I play the alto saxophone, but would love to learn to play something else -- maybe the flute or clarinet.

~ BioGaia

Tohunga Tahnok:

Well, that doesn't really make any sense. Every Element has to have something to control. I guess we should just ask whomever invented the Element.

~ BioGaia

Hmmm . . . the mystery thickens -- it's a nice way to keep us hooked on your Epic. Anyway, here's my theory (I must agree with Em-Oh-Cee-Ehr -- these mysteries are making me into a conspiracy nut!):

Basically, I take it that the Septiu are the Septit from Tarth's Epic, or from a completely different Parallel Universe. However, the Septit are Matoran (assuming that the Septiu are taken from Tarth's Epic, and not another Alternate Universe); thus they must be transformed (per your response to ChocoLvr13) into Toa, and their Elements thus do not change, only their forms (from Matoran to Toa), nor do the Neteru's Elements. Or, following a similar tangent, if they are from Shadows in the Reflection, they are transformed from "Those Who Save Destiny" to "Those Who Are Saving Destiny," which I assume is a "step up." But, I guess I'll just have to follow the story and find out. One question, though: How are the Elements different between your soon-to-be Neteru and Tarth's Septit?

Crazy theory that's no doubt incorrect aside, I noticed that the word "Atukam" would fit perfectly into the Xed-out portion of the "Toa XXXXXX", but I still don't quite see why you would need to conceal names so as to not spoil events.

And finally, who created the Element of Moonglow? I'm interested in what a Toa of this Element would control.

~ BioGaia

Woah. I just noticed the new Toa Septiu and all I have to say is: "Woah."

I eagerly await finding out why/how they become Toa Septiu and have their Elements changed.

~ BioGaia

Interesting. . . . All of the "X"s make it seem very secretive. I guess that you need to keep Kemetic names a secret from Kohila -- he could probably translate them.

Oh, and I'm a bit curious as to the exact wording of Rule #6. I suppose one would have to ask a Staff Member. But, eh, I'll take your word for it.

~ BioGaia

"You'll be saying 'wow' every time!"

Actually, I just watched the commercial on #######.

~ BioGaia

I'm zero percent complete. (And I'm mis-spelled! )

~ BioGaia

Aye to all stated articles. I especially like Article 106 -- just the other day I was looking for a Kanohi, and wished that there was some sort of organization for that.

~ BioGaia

Thank you a hundred times over for posting this. One-sentence/spammy reviews are really starting make me go insane. Sadly, it can be like that everywhere -- in the BBC, Epics Forum, and any other place. I'm most familiar with the BBC and Epics Forums, and they both have spammy "reviews." I'd love to get an actual review normally, myself, and I'm sure other MOCists feel the same way.

~ BioGaia

No problem. And you're perfectly right. I haven't looked at that many topics in the Library recently, due to being really busy, but I definitely have seen a lot of "Awesome work! I love it!" posts.

Alright, I'd like to have a PBZP made of me (as B₂, of course). Now, as far as the appearance goes, I'd like something kind of like Nidhiki or Toa_Ausar's Turaga Ferohn, with no actually element. As far as color goes, something innovative, but not clashing. Kanohi is up to you: or you can choose to go with nothing, and make a custom head. However, this would not be a Matoran or anything, so no Element would be necessary. OK, I guess that's it.

~ BioGaia

Funny, I got INTJ, too. It'd be interesting to take your test to see if I really am an INTJ (though I'm fairly sure I am). I'd also like to read about the 16 personality types.

~ BioGaia

Well, I'm entering, too. If you don't mind, I'll weave this into my own Epic, too. (Sorry, the picture's old; I'm also going to post a Topic for this MOC soon.)

Bio: To Be Posted Soon . . .

~ BioGaia

Oh, please don't terminate the Epic Series here on BZPower. I've been reading a little bit of the first two on my own time, and want to keep reading - plus, you need some reviews. So, I hope you don't choose to give up. A little wall can't be too bad, especially with what Ausar and others have been saying.

But that's just what I think; you should make the decision.
