if that’s what’ll give us a more relaxed eljay, then what must be done must be done

i think it’s worth noting that it has been so long and we have three contests out of twelve. At this rate, we’re looking at close to 7 total years before the current wave of characters is expended.
I understand that life gets in the way (although there is still an obligation to communicate such delays instead of simply leaving everyone else in the dark), but this kind of slow pace is borderline unacceptable. The efficacy of the contests should be reconsidered with this information in mind, coupled with the factors of a disgruntled, toxic opposition and a support base that has grown tired of waiting.

While this is certainly true, I would like to posit that we’ve also only had two “normal” contests (one character, two phases), both of which saw immense growing pains. The only reason this contest has taken so long is straight up due to unforeseen events and some degree of burnout from the previous growing pains.
A part of me is kinda looking forward to the Tuyet contest because it’d be somewhat of a return to form - a contest for a Toa of Water. We’ve moved past a lot of the learning and structural difficulties, and now we can see how a contest of that nature would function.

I agree. but I know Eljay and other people on TTV are struggling.
well, I’m very supportive of this contest.
maybe that’s why I can’t stand the slowness of the contest.
and longer waiting between the contests, the more controversial and exhausting it seems.
anyway, at this rate, I don’t think there will be any more contests this year.

I agree with what you’re saying. I, too, would like to see the results of the first two polls before the finals wrap up.
But sniping back and forth with Eljay over who’s being more hostile, more unreasonable, etc., isn’t really helping your case. It’s just going to make Eljay less inclined to listen to you. Sure, Elj can be a bit blunt and dismissive. But he can also be willing to listen to people. But when you just say he’s “unreasonable” it makes him reply that you’re “just impatient”.
I don’t think Eljay is unreasonable, and I don’t think you’re just impatient. I also don’t think that this type of arguing helps anyone. I agree with your point; I don’t want to see it dismissed because Eljay stops listening to you.

I wouldn’t rule out any other contests this year. We don’t have a 6 month long debate session that needs to happen for Tuyet. The infrastructure is already there and good to go. It’s just a matter of finding any quote which will help out entrants.
So while I won’t say “Yeah, Tuyet will start this year,” I wouldn’t rule it out as a possibility.

good news
But I thought that for that to be possible, the hagah art contest might have to be little short.

It might be a couple more months, but we’ve still got four months left in the year.

is Tuyet a Metru build? Go!

You,You’re so…
Of course, we know, there will be no discussion about METRU
because he has already said that there will be no Metru restrictions in the future.
Oh, uh, I’d been meaning to bring this up. As a suggestion, I think it could potentially be a pretty good idea to recruit some members of the boards - specifically the really lore-oriented ones - to help look through all the source materials and gregarchives quotes. It could be a major time- and effort-saver on yours/Meso’s part, and it’d also increase the level of activity the community can take in setting up the contests, which (I’d) foresee as being a generally positive thing.

I can agree with this. We’ve seen stuff like the dark blue Helryx slip through the cracks before

Totally down for it. Until then, people are welcome to do that now, and alert us so we have it on file. We can bookmark that stuff and have it ready when it’s time to go. Now would be a good time for it, since it’s up next but we have quite a few weeks left with the Hagah.

Frick, where did this year go?
In that case, there was this topic a couple months ago that has some relevant Greg Answers in it. It’s a start, anyways.

What do you guys think would be the best color scheme for Tuyet?
I think most people definitely picture a main color of Metru blue and any metallic armor being primarily gunmetal with a mixture of silver/gunmetal weapons.
What of secondary? I’ve heard/seen all metru blue, seen a lot of black, and a handful of lightblue/mata blue.
*Also I have this idea that I know that others may dislike, but I’ve pictured Tuyet having a secondary color of purple. This idea just makes sense to me because I feel like it would work with the persona of Tuyet, kind of as an association to the self-perceived regality and pompousness.
Thoughts?

I think any combination of: dark bluescale color, (so in LEGO terms Metru blue or purple), gunmetal or silver, and some black, are all acceptable options, and the most likely to be used in most entries. I’d definitely be down for more unique takes, though.

I am new to the contests, so sorry if this is sounds ignorant but did Lego ever make bronze Bionicle pieces? I would love to see the Hagah be 2-2-2, Gold-Silver-Bronze. Kualus being bronze would avoid him looking like a standard Toa of Ice or a Toa of Light.
Hey this may be a dumb question but forgive me if I didn’t know. Did Perp3tual ever have a physical example for Pouks outside of the artwork? It’s kind of hard to see what Pouks looks like with his entry so I was curious.
Here. I already posted pictures for these on each poll.
And here’s reference for the masks. The dark grey one belongs to Pouks.

Okay I admit those are pretty cool looking. I’ll have to find the image of Bomonga if there is one as well.
