I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd, more specifically of Roger Waters' lyrics, but I have not heard said KoRn covers. ~ Åusår

(Credit to Makar for the fantastic banners and species descriptions.) Greetings and welcome to the first in a series of related "What's in a Name?" contests designed to allow the BZPower Community at large to be an integral part of the decision-making process within "The C.I.R.C.L.E.". Your objective here is simple enough, all you have to do to enter this contest is to volunteer potential names for as many of the different categories as you'd like. Now, here are the Rules:This contest is open to any and all BZPower Members.Individual BZPower Members may enter as many of the categories as they like, but please, no fewer than three categories in any one part of the contest.Individual BZPower Members may supply up to three entries per category, but all entries must be submitted within the same comment.The actual voting process for each category to determine the first place entries will also be open to all BZPower Members and notification of the location and timetable for voting will be posted in this blog, as well as on The C.I.R.C.L.E.-"What's in a Name?" Website.Each and every first place entry will then be accepted as "C.I.R.C.L.E. Fanon", and will be featured not only on the specific character's article on The C.I.R.C.L.E. Wiki, but also in an independent future article created specifically for the species itself, as well as any future members of said species who become part of the writings of the various "C.I.R.C.L.E. Membership", at least until such time as Official Canon names are released.In addition, Toa_Ausar has purchased several copies of each Graphic Novel 8: Legends of Bara Magna and Graphic Novel 9: The Fall of Atero on behalf of "The C.I.R.C.L.E.", for use as grand prizes in this contest, as a way for "The C.I.R.C.L.E." to show the BZPower Community that we are serious about doing our part to help save the tentative Graphic Novel 10: Power of the Great Beings. All first place entries will be eligible for these grand prize giveaways, though the ultimate grand prize winner for each part of this contest shall be determined solely by the three judges appointed by "The C.I.R.C.L.E." for this specific purpose.Others within the "C.I.R.C.L.E. Membership" may also be providing additional items for grand prize giveaways, though no other prizes have been declared at this time.The deadline for voting on Part 1 of this contest is tentatively set for anytime after Midnight PDT on Sunday August 15th, 2010.Please post entries in this thread under the following format: BZP display name (i.e. Toa_Ausar, etc.)Category Number: Suggested Entry Name (Pronunciation), Suggest Entry Name (Pronunciation), Suggest Entry Name (Pronunciation)Category Number: Suggested Entry Name (Pronunciation)Category Number: Suggested Entry Name (Pronunciation), Suggest Entry Name (Pronunciation)Etc.Now, here are the Polls for Part 1 of this Contest: Voting For What's In A Name?

Kohilå: Glad you had fun and it's good to have you back. By the way, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world's busiest airport and has been since 1999. Anyway, I'm off to read Escape-5. ~ Åusår

BioGaia: All five of the planets shown are inhabited, and I take issue with the concept of a "Goldilocks Zone" for a few reasons: The hypothesis assumes alien life has the same requirements as terrestrial life, but almost certainly what is needed for biomechanical beings differs greatly from that which is necessary for humans. Assuming the requirements are the same, suitable environments may still develop outside of the accepted "habitable zone", for example: A. Primordial Earth exhibited an atmosphere that was not habitable by life as we know it due to it mainly being carbon dioxide, much like Venus. But this was drastically altered by initial types of plant life into a breathable atmosphere, so any area outside of the "habitable zone" for life as we know it, can over time transform as a result of even the most primitive plant life and their subsequent photosynthesis. B. Also, Jupiter's moon Europa is thought to have a subsurface ocean with an environment similar to the deep oceans of Earth, thus the likely evolution of life on Europa, similar to extremophiles on Earth, is certainly plausible, despite the fact that Europa is no where near the presumed "Goldilocks Zone". Furthermore, the building block of life are what makes up the primordial soup ocean on Europa, so the likelihood of life there is extremely possible. Lastly, the width of a prospective "habitable zone", as well as its' relative distance from the star, are directly proportional to the density of the star, and thus it would be different for each and every solar system.In short, life can evolve to tolerate extreme conditions anywhere, under the principle of natural selection, as various pressures dictate, and thus it is not necessary for the conditions to be "just right". As for Jattillus, yes it is inhabited, and I know more than is currently revealed, so you'll have to wait for an upcoming Short Story by Iro to get a more detailed answer on this. Anyway, this was a fantastic job here by --V--, who never ceases to amaze me. ~ Åusår

(Click image for Wiki Article) Major props and credit is due --V-- for the fantastic final product. Thanks --V-- ! ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

Makar: I left you a reply in that GoogleWave you sent me yesterday, in hopes we can straight that all out, or at least get something else going instead. ~ Åusår

I vote "Absolutely Not" on that idea. ~ Åusår
