Lewa Krom Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Also, just to add on to what's been said about getting prefixes approved, Greg has mentioned that it's much easier to get prefixes approved than whole names. On the subject of Vo-Matoran, I like it. It might not actually have anything to do with Voriki, but in my mind it does. Keep in mind that if Star Trek fans had, as a group, said, "No point in talking about this anymore, it's never going to come back," it never WOULD have come back. -- Greg Farshtey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonesiii Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well' date=' Greg also has to get prefixes approved, and I guess this is one of the last BIONICLE prefixes he got approved.[/quote']Actually, this prefix should have been approved in 2003, with the Vo-Kraata.Methinks you're thinking of the Krana Vu. Far as I know, there's no Krana Vo.Who is this Voriki you guys are tAlking about?Fanmade character that some mistook for an official image (even though it's clearly an edit).

Meta-Mind Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Vo as in Voriki? ...Joking aside, I have an actual question: will the results from the popularity poll still be made EM canon (as a secondary prefix, perhaps?), or will this take precedence? BZPRPG TIME, where you could have one post talk about dinner, and the next about lunch. Time is beyond relative here.There's no reason not to put lasers in the palms of planet-sized robots. In fact, if I had my own planet-sized robot, palm lasers would be one of my first upgrades.BZPRPG Profiles [outdated] May or may not be back from a multi-year hiatus. We'll see how this works out...

Not sure how we'll handle it.But again, Vo was the most popular one from the poll for this element. In other cases if he does make more prefixes that don't match that, we'll have to play it by ear I guess.Methinks you're thinking of the Krana Vu.

The Iron Toa Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Does this mean any newly canonized prefixes will have to be from a previous list such as the names of the Kraata and Kraana types?

Erebus Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'll tell you this: Prefixes do not have to go through legal. I asked him weeks ago because of what I noticed about Psionics and its prefix Ce-. Psionics was given its prefix way too quickly for legal to say "yeah, go ahead it's fine to use it."

NorikSigma Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Well, there still has to be a general consensus, and what better way to achieve that than through official canonisation?Or we could have informal agreements on BZP... but informal... hmm..

Chro Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Found the picture. Here it is. Not sure if it was a hoax or just an honest mistake, but Voriki was once mistakenly thought by some people to be the seventh Toa (the Toa of Energy) before Takanuva was revealed. By the way, the quotes will work just fine if you switch over to the IP.Board theme instead of the BZP theme.
