Not too much activity on the last follow up, but oh well. I'll just leave post-counts and proto alone for now unless someone gets some really good ideas. Now, however, onto the fun part. So we've seen the map, we have a general idea of how things work, now let's get a better picture of each of the individual forums. To recap, the forums have been given their elements for the following reasons: Fire: Bionicle Collectibles -- Ta-Matoran make masks. Fire: LEGO Bionicle Sets -- Ta-Matoran make the parts for things like Vahki, etc. Water: New Member Q&A -- Ga-Matoran are teachers. Water: General Discussion -- Ga-Matoran talk a lot? (Kind of grasping at straws here. ) Stone: Buy/Sell/Trade -- Po-Koro had a thriving marketplace in MNOLG1 Stone: Marketplace Banter -- (See above.) Ice: Bionicle Storyline & Theories -- Ko-Matoran ponder the future. Ice: Voting Booth -- Ko-Matoran use information they collect to extrapolate the future (also a bit of a stretch). Air: Comedies -- Le-Matoran joke around. Air: Bionicle Artwork III: Bionicle Comics -- (See above). Earth: Bionicle Reference Center -- Onu-Matoran archive things and study the past. Earth: Bionicle Movies & Books -- The tales told in the movies and books are about the past, which interests the Onu-Matoran. Light: BZP Reference Desk -- Nothing more bright and painful to the eyes than a bunch of rules (also, it's like the "ultimate" element). Light: BZPower.com News Discussion -- Shines a light into the darkness of ignorance (once again, mostly because it'd be unfair to give another forum Light). Plasma: Completely Off Topic -- Plasma is full of energy and all over the place, just like COT. Plasma: Bionicle Games & Trivia -- Once again, full of energy Magnetism: Bionicle Software -- Information is often stored magnetically. Magnetism: Fan-Made Games -- (See above.) Plant Life: Bionicle Artwork I: General Art -- Plant Life is serene, graceful, and beautiful, just like artwork. Plant Life: Bionicle Promotions -- Plants also try to spread themselves everywhere, which is what Promotions are for. Gravity: LEGO General Discussion -- Gravity is things being held together, like LEGO sets. Gravity: Bionicle Artwork II: Shops & Kits -- The various sprites and banners are also things that are being held together. Iron: Bionicle Based Creations -- BIONICLE creatures are metallic and Fe-Matoran are industrious, building many things. Iron: BBC Contest Voting -- (See above.) Sonics: Epics -- De-Matoran like the quiet, making it easier for them to read. Sonics: Short Stories -- (See above.) Lightning: Bionicle RPG -- Nikila, the only Toa of Lightning we've seen, was a strategist and Tahnok-Kal was said to be the fiercest of the Bohrok-Kal. Sounds like an RPG player to me. Lightning: RPG Contest Voting -- (See above). Also, here is the map so you can see where each forum is roughly. What I want from you is a small bio on each of the forums. Maybe a paragraph or so detailing scenery, lifestyle, and maybe a brief history if you want. You can submit as many as you want and we'll vote on the best in the next entry. I'll get you started with the island of Hapori Nui. BZP Reference Desk: Built on the remains of the ancient village of BZ-Koro, where the earliest colonists once lived, this region has since become the capitol of the BZ Nui archipelago. After the denizens branched out to the surrounding islands, the island was used as a central hub for maintaining order between the early settlements. Now a shining golden fortress stands there in whose many rooms the staff spend their leisure time, conduct official business, and where proclamations are made to the people of BZ Nui. New Member Q&A: An entire coastline filled with schools to educate newer (and sometimes older) members on the workings of the site. Situated near to the official list of rules, it isn't difficult for students to quickly learn everything they need to know about membership. It is often frequented by experienced members and staff, especially Forum Mentors, to pass on their knowledge of the site.

Got bored. Got an idea. Wrote a story. It's supposed to fit within what's already been established for BZ-Nui. I dunno... I have mixed feelings about it since I don't think it's my best work. Check it out if you want, so that maybe you can get an idea of how to write a much better one yourself.

Okay, so checked the results and it looks like everything's staying the way it is. Onto the next round of questions! 1) What are members? (Go wild on this one, but here's an idea to get you started; let me know whether or not you like it.) Hapori Tohu – Great Spirit Admins – Makuta (Good Makuta that haven't banished their light and don't plan to take over the world) Global Moderators – Adaptive Armour Toa Nuva Forum Leaders – Toa Nuva Forum Assistants – Regular Toa ----- (Above this line, members get a Suva, below it they do not) ----- Forum Mentors – Regular Toa News Reporters – Toa Hagah Reference Team – Toa Inika Blog Assistants – Toa Mahri OBZPCs – Copper Mask wearing Matoran Members – Matoran Emeritus Staff – Turaga 2) How does BIONICLESector01 work? a- It's located in the spot on Affili Island. b- Separate island on a different map. c- Not part of the canon. d- Other. 3) How does BIONICLE.com work? a- Separate island on a different map. b- Not part of the canon. c- Other. 4) Is there anything else that you can think of that has not been mentioned? P.S. In defence of regular members being Matoran since some of you might find that a bit lame, might I remind you that the Voya Nui resistance nearly kicked the Toa Nuva's butts.

Okay, this was a doozy. Here's what I've come up with, let me know your thoughts and whether you're strictly opposed to anything that's been decided here: 1) What are members? Most people liked my suggestion, but not so much the Makuta thing. To justify, what I meant was that they get the 42 Kraata powers and are charged with making sure the universe runs smoothly. If you still don't like it, then how about admins get to have Exo-Toa suits? 2) How does BIONICLESector01 work? Looks like it's a separate island on a different map. That was the original plan, but just wanted to see what people thought first. 3) How does BIONICLE.com work? Okay, this one was rather on the edge and most people wanted to leave it out. Going with TtW's idea somewhat, how about we just get news or such delivered from there, though we never visit it? 4) Is there anything else that you can think of that has not been mentioned? Just proto and post count needs to be explained, it seems. Um... any suggestions?

Okay, the survey's been out for a week, so let's see what people want. 1) Is having the BIONICLE logo as the map with each forum section being an island a good idea? If not, what would be better? Most people seemed to like the map, although Great Being #1 has proposed an alternative (see below). 2) Do you agree with the island names? If not, what are some better ones you can think of? Once again, no one had any major qualms with these. Terakk, though, has suggested some of his own (see below). 3) Do you agree with the elemental designations of the forums? If not, what do you suggest? Very few issues here, though see GB's map for his suggestions. The other 3 :annoyed2:) Where should blogs go? Voting was more split here, but the majority of you wanted it to go in people's homes. 4) How do homes work? This was probably the closest vote, but most people decided that you live in a home in one of the forums. So now the follow up: 1) If things stay this way will you be so totally disgusted by this project that you'll boycott it entirely or can you live with it? 2) a- Do you like GB's suggested map better than mine (barring the fact that mine is interactive)? b- Do you like Terakk's island name suggestions (Pheskal, Zatovas, and Arventos) better than mine? I'll tally up the results in a week or so and then we can move onto phase two!

Okay, so the general consensus seems to be that Project BZ Nui is a good idea. So here are a few preliminary questions concerning what's been established so far (try to be as helpful as possible in your answers). 1) Is having the BIONICLE logo as the map with each forum section being an island a good idea? If not, what would be better? 2) Do you agree with the island names? If not, what are some better ones you can think of? 3) Do you agree with the elemental designations of the forums? If not, what do you suggest? (If need be, I can explain my justifications for each). 3) Where should blogs go? a - Underwater (like Mahri Nui). b - Their own island. c - On boats. d - In people's homes/on their property. e - Other (please specify). 4) How do homes work? a - People choose a forum-village and live there. b - People live on boats that travel from forum to forum. c - Other (please specify).

So remember that mysterious project I mentioned that I needed Flash to begin. Well, I've got Flash again and I have a preview ready for you: LINK (Yes, I'm aware some of the words jump. I'm too lazy to fix those, so just live with it for now.) Now before you go using the emoticon, allow me to explain. Throughout the ages, the rough concept of a BIONICLE-like version of BZP has been tossed about from time to time. Epics have been written, comics have been sprited... But I have a vision for more. If there's a general liking of this idea, what I envision is a large scale project to combine various media into a "canon" for BZ Nui. Writing, drawing, animating, RPGing, you name it. Also, anyone will be allowed to bring forth ideas, making it a real community project. So what do you say? Is it a good idea or the worst thing you've ever heard of?
