BIONICLE Canon Contest #2: Meet the Maker

@Hazash

Maybe the solution could be to require MOCists to write down in their post what colour they envision each shade as actually being in the artwork, so artists have something to go off.

The artists will already have something to go off of - any green pieces on the MOC.

@Gilahu

then why is a picture the important part and not the MOC?

We’ve discussed this numerous times, but this is part of a compromise we had to make with BS01.

@Gilahu

An entry that looked completely different could have won.

Could have. Did not.

I’m still sad that there was no option for “no more canon contests”. Now that people have experienced it firsthand with the Helryx context, they should be allowed to rethink their earlier vote about whether or not these canon contests should continue. If enough people vote to continue then fair enough, but LJ outright refused to include the “no more” option even though multiple people asked for it. I think preventing people from making their voice heard on the matter is simply revolting. I think contests are great and should continue, but they can do so without canonizing the winners.

We have had this discussion. We are not doing this right now.

@b6i6o6

My point is that LJ ignored us completely.

No, I did not. I said “Not right now.” I have already explained why we’re not doing this now, and I’m not interested in repeating myself again. Look through my posts for an explanation. Until then, this discussion is over.
