I'm currently in the process of securing prizes for the massive contest that will be open to all BZPower Members, which we plan to begin discussing via PM in the very near future, meanwhile the C.I.R.C.L.E.-exclusive project will likely be revealed to our membership sometime thereafter, once all the details are in order. ~ Åusår

I literally laughed out loud when I saw the reply. ~ Åusår

Possibly my most custom MOC ever. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

The merits of membership are a voice and vote in the development of our Joint Fanon Universe. Sadly the "Participation Policy" arose out of necessity as a solution to the following problems: First, several members disappeared for extended periods of time and no one knew where they went, why they were gone, and if they were ever coming back. Second, voter apathy developed amongst a few other members, despite the fact that it only takes a few minutes every three weeks or so. Third, the combination of those two events hindered the group's ability to function by limiting the number of available voters and, as such, some of the proposals failed to pass due to insufficient turnout.And so it became the simplest solution, aside from the obvious one, which is to tell another member if you plan to be gone for more than two weeks at a time. Anyway, glad to have you aboard. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

Fear not, I'm doing my part. I already have the first seven Hardback editions and I bought #8 in Hardback from Borders with their fantastic 40% Off Memorial Day Coupon, meanwhile I just upped the ante by buying #9 in Hardback for my own collection as well. But it gets bettter, I also ordered three of each in Paperback as prizes for my upcoming blog contest. ~ Åusår

That sounds like a splendid idea, I'll be sure to include that in an upcoming PM I intended to send you about a C.I.R.C.L.E. Logo redesign. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Short Story ***

I reluctantly vote "AYE" on Articles 32a, 34b, 100b, & 111a. Honestly I hope to have you all back and participatory soon. Next, I happily vote "AYE" on Articles 235, 236, 237, 238, & 239. Welcome to the group and I look forward to working with you all. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

Were your concerns similar to those voiced by Auserv? ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Short Story ***

First, I vote "AYE" on Article 4b. Congratulations ChocoLvr13, you'll be the first member to have held all three ranks. Second, I vote "AYE" on Article 33b. Congratulations Koji, you'll be the first member to have held both tie-breaking positions, and I look forward to working with you in your new capacity as "TOA WHIP". Third, I vote "AYE" on Article 35b. Congratulations Auserv, this promotion is long overdue, as was evident by your clear victory on "Secret Ballot #6". Fourth, I vote "AYE" on Article 36a. Congratulations Zorrakh, welcome to the "TOA TEAM", I hope to read your upcoming Epic someday soon. Fifth, I vote "AYE" on Article 50a. Congratulations Zåhåku, you were far and away the overwhelming winner of "Secret Ballot #5". Sixth, I vote "AYE" on Article 107a. Congratulations Tohunga Tahnok, welcome to the "TOA TEAM", you've earned it. Seventh, I vote "AYE" on Article 110a. Congratulations .Carbon, I'm certain that we'll work well together in your new capacity as "MATORAN WHIP". Lastly, I vote "AYE" on Article 144a. Congratulations Makar, welcome to the "TOA TEAM", you've earned it. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Short Story ***

First, I vote "AYE" on Article 165a. Welcome back Zee. Next, I vote "AYE" on Articles 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, & 228 as well. The two ancestral species are well thought out, the Great Beings' names and actions are interesting, the proposed name for the Rahkshi of Heat Vision works, and I see no reason to oppose either the proposed "Tavan" nor "Project: Cytos Nui". ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Short Story ***

I'm much more lenient concerning ballots like this where there's likely to be no opposition. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

Since the Avsa is already the Canon Mask of Hunger I don't believe that the prospective Arkaiva should be considered Elemental. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Short Story ***

I agree with Cap'n K on both above-quoted points. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

To show just how wise we are, the "TURAGA COUNCIL" has decided to keep our friends close, and our enemies closer. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

Neelh: Congratulations! Now I wanted to point out that you and the other nominees may vote on more articles than just yours. It's pretty much a "C.I.R.C.L.E. Tradition" that new nominees be allowed to vote on any of the active threads during their nomination as well, though I should point out that it's a basic rule that we don't allow generic ballots like "I vote such-and-such on all articles", regardless of the thread you're voting in. In other words, please be clear as to how you're voting on each and every article you chose to vote on. Let me know if there are any questions. ~ ÅusårP.S. On a side note: That's just one of the many benefits of being part of the "TURAGA COUNCIL". *** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

First, I vote "AYE" on Article 180a. Although I originally opposed the idea, it seems that BIONICLE is certainly leaning towards a more galactic view of things, and so I guess we need to embrace that, which is why I also vote "AYE" on Articles 229 & 230, though as Ballom stated, it's likely that my future writings will remain within the Matoran Universe as well. Lastly, I vote "AYE" on Articles 231, 232, 233, & 234 as well. The three original mask powers are each well thought out and the names, including the one for the Canon mask, are all fine too. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

That's exactly what I'm hoping for every time we do this. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

The deadline has passed and congratulations are in order for the five BZPower Members, who've received at least two nominations, and have therefore been brought to a vote for consideration of inclusion in "The C.I.R.C.L.E.". If you're one of the five possible future "MATORAN", or already a member of "The C.I.R.C.L.E.", be on the lookout for a PM that will explain the next few steps in this process. Thanks again to all who posted in this thread and good luck to the nominees. Until next time. ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Terra Nui Short Story ***

I see what Auserv and ChocoLvr13 find strange about the powers being immoral, I would however like to say that, as was stated at the time of their proposal, Cu-Matoran are an environmental anomaly, and as such were never intended to exist, much less to become Toa. Maybe the solution is to say "Some Toa feel that the Kanohi Zech is an immoral mask, while others disagree.", like the Kanohi Xioth? ~ Åusår*** Kemet Nui Epic ~ Review ~ Inhabitants ~ Short Story ***
