  1. Elmara ~ Much of what you're seeking to know can be found on The CIRCLEpedia, but please keep in mind that that site is under construction, thus not all information is currently available. :lookhere:

     

    Zahaku ~ He is a C.I.R.C.L.E. Ally and the type of BZPower Member that the new position was created for, unless of course he resurrects his Epic, in which case he'd be eligible for full membership.

  2. Aye to all. Except the Mask of Latency one; I personally think that takes all the fun out of it. And the mystery.

    Xinlo, last warning, subsequent "I vote such-and-such to all articles."-type of ballots will simply be disregarded, deleted, and considered a violation of the "C.I.R.C.L.E. Participation Policy". :shrugs:

  3. I believe this is the sort of Article that should be discussed first before voting on it takes place.

     

    What do you guys think?

     

    ~Zahaku~

    The entire point of having an extended period of multiple weeks to vote during is so that members will pay attention to and participate in the discussion of contentious proposals prior to making a decision. That's why we did away with blanket ballots of "I vote such-and-such on all proposals", because members were voting without participating in the discussion, sometimes even supporting articles that the proposer themselves eventually opposed.

  4. "UNDECIDED" on Article 263. Is this an explanation for Jaller's Company's transformation into Inika, or just a way to obtain similar results? If the first, then "NAY". If the second, then "AYE".

    "UNDECIDED" on Article 264. See explanation on Article 263.

    "UNDECIDED" on Article 267. The Article says power, but the description makes it sound more like it's alive. It being a parasite/virus, would make the forced side effects more convincing to me. (X-Force=X-Men?)

    The prospective Inika Stones were not involved in the transformation of Jaller's Company, they are as you stated, simply a way to obtain similar results. ;)

     

    I'm not sure what the question on Inika Stones has to do with the Nova Stones, so I can't answer that part since we've never seen anything like the Nova Stones in the Canon storyline aside from maybe Antidermis-Imbued Brutaka. :unsure:

     

    As for the proposed X-Force, I second your suggestion that it be something alive rather than a genetic deal, meanwhile I reiterate my dislike for the MARVEL-associated name.

     

    Hope this helps and let me know if there are any other questions.

  5. 264- UNDECIDED, this one I just don't understand too well. Is this like an Energized Protodermis transformation, or what?

    There seems to be a bit of confusion, so hopefully this will help clear it up:

    The Inika Stones proposed in Article 263 would produce someone who looked like an Inika, glowing face, organic Kanohi, etc., that is to say, their appearance would
    not
    be like that of a Nuva, nor would the transformation be like those involving Energized Protodermis.
    :uhuh:

     

    On the other hand, Article 264 concerns N
    o
    va Stones,
    not
    N
    u
    va Stones, that is to say, it would be the
    temporary
    infusion of power levels closer to that seen in a Nova Blast, as opposed to
    permanent
    Nuva power level changes by Energized Protodermis. The
    appearance
    of those who have undergone the prospective transformation would simply be Nuva-like for ease of description.
    ;)

    Let me know if there are any other questions.

  6. 261) Aye. I'm guessing "Terra" would mean something along the lines of "Earthen," correct?

    Iro, I would assume so, yes.

     

    Article 261 - Aye, although I would like to ask, does this planet contain any sapient life?

    Article 263 - Aye but what kind of tranformations are we talking about here?

    Zåhåku, Article 261 has been amended to answer your question, meanwhile the transformations described in Article 263 are just like those experienced by canon Matoran who became the Toa Inika. ;)

     

    Aye to all.

    Xinlo, as I said in the previous voting session, please refrain from the "I vote such-and-such to all articles."-type of ballot in the future, particularly when there is significant opposition to some of the proposals in the thread.

     

    Now for my ballot:

    First off, I vote "
    AYE
    " on Articles 261-265, as I find few faults with any of these proposals beyond personal preference, similar to what
    said regarding Article 264.

     

    Next, I vote "
    NAY
    " on Article 266, based upon the argument previously stated by
    , though I might change my vote if it seemed like this proposal was unlikely to pass, based upon thoughts similar to comments made by
    regarding this.

     

    Lastly, I reluctantly vote "
    AYE
    " on Article 267. Basically, although I whole-heartily agree with
    , I don't really object to the concept, and thus my opposition would simply be based upon personal preference.

     

    Anyway, I look forward to hearing the debate regarding those who have expressed indecision to various proposals in this thread.

     

    Until next time.

  7. 260) Undecided. (First time I vote something other than "Aye," I believe.) I like the concept, and I realize that this could very well be its own element (the hallucinogenic effects definitely being a neat touch), but it's the sound of the prefix that has me reluctant to cast my "Aye" vote. It just has a somewhat silly sound to it, in my mind.

    Iro, I have altered the proposed prefix to negate your concern. ;)

     

    260: Nay. This could probably be accomplished with a Toa of the Green.

    .Carbon, there is no way that a Toa of "The Green" could control Fungi. Fungi are not Plant Life, in fact, as you can see here, they are actually more closely related to Animals than they are to Plants:

     

    colo_3.jpg

     

    Aye to all but the last one. It's a cool enough idea, but as Iro said, the prefix is ridiculous (IMO) and it overlaps too much with The Green.

    Xinlo, please refrain from the "I vote such-and-such to all articles."-type of ballot in the future, particularly when there is significant opposition to some of the proposals in the thread.

     

    Now for my ballot:

    For starters, I vote "
    AYE
    " on Articles 253-255, as I have no problems with any of these proposals.

     

    Next, I vote "
    AYE
    " on Article 256, because I simply do not share the same naming concerns that many of the other members have expressed.

     

    On the other hand, I vote "
    NAY
    " on Article 257, based upon the opposition voiced by
    , that is to say, the concern with how the prospective Illuminati/Alliance War would fit with the canon happenings just one-hundred years prior to the Great Cataclysm, as well as
    's comment that it doesn't matter to him if this article passes or not.
    :shrugs:

     

    Meanwhile, I vote "
    AYE
    " on Articles 258-260, as again I see no problems with any of these proposals.

     

    Anyway, I look forward to hearing the debate regarding those who have expressed indecision to various proposals in this thread.

     

    Until next time.

  8. Just a quick question on Kanohi, though. Is there a limit to what kind of power a mask can have, since Kanohi are made out of Kanoka Disks?

    Zorrakh, it is my understanding that not all Kanohi are made from Kanoka Disks, simply that all Kanohi on Metru Nui were made that way, thus the kinds of powers are only limited by imagination, though not every idea has been confirmed by the group as reasonable. ;)

     

    245: Aye, what about the exception of alternate universes?

    Arkatox, the use of a Kanohi that has been confirmed to the designation of "one-of-a-kind", even within an alternate universe, would have to be brought before the group for a vote.

     

    Now for my ballot:

    First of all, after some deliberation I have decided to vote "
    AYE
    " on Article 245 after learning more about the mechanism of action, the limit of the mask's power, and the fact that it is
    not
    sentient.

     

    Next, I vote "
    AYE
    " on Article 246 based upon the amendment that it is uniquely rare, meaning there is a rather limited number of them in existence.

     

    Meanwhile, I vote "
    AYE
    " on Article 247 precisely for the fact that, unlike the Matatu and
    , the prospective Onensé would allow for the imitation of powers, not just shape.

     

    Furthermore, I vote "
    AYE
    " on Articles 248 & 249, as one is mine and the other I see no problem with.

     

    On the other hand, I was rather concerned regarding Article 250, but have decided to vote "
    AYE
    " based upon consideration of just how long ten seconds actually is and realizing that, if the Kanohi is rare and readily identifiable, then a target should largely be capable of avoiding such an extended period of contact, though I am still a bit concerned about the inability to
    ever
    combat the mask's effects.
    :shrugs:

     

    Lastly, I vote "
    AYE
    " on Articles 251 & 252, as I see no problem with either of them, and would like to say that I intended the word "
    Anarchos
    " to be analogous to the canon Agori word "
    Dormus
    ", which I associate with the English word "
    dormant
    ".

     

    Anyway, I look forward to hearing the debate regarding those who have expressed indecision to various proposals in this thread.

     

    Until next time.
