Legolover-361 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 On the BZPower archives, there were winners in most, if not all, the story polls. I'm curious as to whether those winners will remain victorious, or if voting will be restarted with the forums.

Erebus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I would hope that most, if not all, were clear winners that can be made winners immediately. The contest has been going on for so long, even if we did not include BZPower's downtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraahlix Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I agree with Erebus. As a contestant and a judge in the contest, I think the best thing to do at this time would be to announce as many winners as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALVIS Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'm just an ordinary bloke, but if my opinion counts for anything, I REALLY want to see this contest over with. We have winning stories, which are all ready to go on BS01). There's nothing to wait for, except for grammar editing and for Triggy to come up with an awesome banner for each. And both of those can technically wait until after they're up. Quote "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion.

Harvali Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Agreed, it is time to end it and gain some new canon stories at the same time.

Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I agree that the winners should just be announced. It would be nice to see something added to the Bionicle canon since the serials haven't been updated at all since the beginning of the summer. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewaLew Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) The forums just got back up. We've waited six months for them, a few more days for this contest shouldn't hurt. Although this contest HAS been the most sluggish one I've seen anywhere. Edited October 16, 2011 by LewaLew Quote How well will you die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erebus Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 LewaLew, this contest has been one of the longest contests ever, and this does not include BZP's downtime. A few more days would hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolover-361 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 I bet the main problem is that GregF hasn't looked over the winners yet -- he probably doesn't even know BZPower is back up, for that matter.

He approved the story outlines for each category, and the judges made sure each story was within those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALVIS Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yes, everything's cleared for canonization. (We even have a banner for one of them, apparently.) Nothing's holding us back.

toa kopaka4372 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 So, are the winners already chosen? If so, I see no problem to sending them to GregF for canonization. I'm pretty anxious to get some new canon...

bonesiii Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 To clear up confusion, nothing has yet been done with the contest since we went offline. It's on the to-do list. My tentative answer is that I don't plan on re-doing the polls, but I'll need to look over everything more carefully to be sure.

Peach 00 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 It should be ended, I believe. In the least, the winners should be announced so there's more room for other S&T contests. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...
