Ballom Nom Nom Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I‘d be writing satyrical comedies under the watchful eyes of the Turaga of Writing.Why the Turaga of Writing would oversee comedies about half-goat men is completely beyond me, however.As for myself, as a MOCist, I suppose in the country of BZP I would be a type of deranged mad scientist, cackling maniacally as he brings his creations to life. Sounds pretty cool.~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

light Laser Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 As for me I don't do a lot on BZPower so I guess I'd be someone who stays in his house and only comes out once in a while, but when I do I try to get a few things done.I'd spend a lot of the time (I'm out of the house) in RPGs, but when I have some extra time I like to travail.

vataki Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I think all of the forums would be the states/provinces and the sub-forums would be the cities. (I'd likely be living in the Comics forum, or maybe the General Discussion.) I think if BZPower were a country, they'd obviously need some sort of government. Black Six would be the president/prime minister, the other admins would be his advisers, and moderators/other staff would be the congress/senators/other government officials.That's how I'd imagine it.And a mighty fine president I think Six would make, I might add.

Protodite Karzahni Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (If BZPower were a country...does that mean all internet communities would get their own island? Because, without disrespect to the fine people here, I certainly know other places I'd rather take up lodgings.)(But assuming it is just BZPower, then I'd probably reside in the CoT, adding fuel to the fire that would spark a war between CoT and GD. And then I'd sit back and watch, cackling menacingly to myself. Because I could.) Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peach 00 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Personally, I wouldn't really want BZP as its own country. My role would just be one of those members who isn't really recognized by name, but people know when they see me. 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...

Scanty Demon Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I would be one of the many crazy matoran runnign around talking about neon ponies.Well looks like you've gained a follower (me). If it was a country, speaking from political standpoint, we'd be a Federalist country. Seeing that each sub-forum (more true with the blogs) would have its own rules and rulers, but we'd probably be more centralized in terms of leadership and legislation (possibly to a point where we'd have an asymmetrically federalist country). Meaning the administrators would have more power and say certain affairs than lessor moderators and mentors.Personally I see the subforums more as states rather cities. The blogs I'd see more as a territory that we don't want to admitt is a colony due to bad publicity. But the territory still has generally more freedom except owning a piece of property in said territory is a luxury. However any member can come to the blogs and visit just not own.What would I be doing, lobbying mr. Black Six to create a Supreme Court to interpret laws he and his little administrator passes with me as the Chief Justice. We'd also solve disputes between conflicts that arise in the forums and blogs. Probably won't happen but worth a shot. Personally I'd only be a member of the outer party who carries out all the memory hole duties.Pretty much how I'd see BZPland, though seeing what political affiliation most members have I probably enjoy living here that much. Plus no one has brought up the issues of economics yet, how would we solve such a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessed Blade Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We've joked about buying North and South Dakota and making them into BZPowerland.If the blogs were part of a real BZPower country, they would probably always be on fire. Like, all of the buildings would have flaming roofs. It wouldn't actually hurt anyone if they got near, but we'd never be really able to turn them off. And all the buildings would probably be painted in shades of green that vary from really pleasant to eye-searingly obnoxious.I'd probably have the eye-searingly obnoxious blog building. >> << *Flees*If it were perfect, or at least as close to perfect as could possibly be, and all the issues that keep popping up in the topic were solved, then I'd definitely want to be there. I'd probably spend most of my time writing opinion columns or stories for the newspaper(Aka, blogging or writing stories), on occasion going to participate in comic con festivals including re-enactments of things(Aka RPGing), and also helping fix up problems and bugs that appear in the framework of systems(The new tracker). And, of course, I'd live in BlogLand. =P Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantaire Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We did this in the War Zone RPG (and I believe some earlier RPGs as well). BZPower was kind of like an island with each sub-forum being its own city or area with a theme relevant to its title. BIONICLE-Based Creations became a factory area, Trading had trading, General Discussion was kind of all over and Off-Topic was anarchist homeland.The Administrators were Makuta, though they were not present and that's what sparked the conflict that was the central story of the game: The people left stepped in to take command. Other forum leader roles were taken by whatever members fit the bill, which means that they were generally Toa (but then again most everyone was a Toa).If any forum was a real place, I'm pretty sure it'd be pretty much like that, with members living out their "roles" as average citizens, except with a different setting than we're used to.This is basically how I end up picturing BZPower.But what I would do if BZPower existed as a physical place? I'd probably be that native of the SS forum trying to start a church in CoT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havelock Vetinari Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 This is a forum whose members are drawn together only by a love of bionicle or the site. They have vastly different political views and a willingness to fight for them. Heck, a willingness to fight is part of human nature.I predict a civil war or a Soviet Union style breakup as things escalate and differing factions emerge. Quote I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You are wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorikSigma Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Without a doubt, I would have a permanent home in Bionicle RPG, on lunch breaks I drop in on Games&Trivia, and I visit S&T once in a while. I then spent 85% of my time playing a game called "Earth RPG", where people are organic and see us as toys. It's so realistic I now believe BZPower is a website and this Earth RPG is real.
