Reidak never saw either Norik or Kualus confirmed.

Short notice (I believe due to a sudden scheduling change allowing it to happen now), but TTV and Mask of Destiny will have another contest discussion on the r/BionicleLego Discord server in less than ten minutes. I expect it will last several hours like the last one.

What’s the connection between these quotes?
The first one, from @Keplers, is in reference to Tuyet’s armour maybe-possibly-if-someone-wants looking like Nuva armour, while the second one, from the novels, is about how the Inika look weird.
EDIT: I was wrong. See below.
That line is from island of Doom, reidak is talking about the Nuva. Nothing to do with the Inika.
Oh darn, you’re right. The one time I don’t check the sources…
With that in mind, let’s redo this:
The fact that the Piraka thought the Nuva armour looked weird doesn’t really affect Matoro’s (supposed, but not really) recognition of it. The Toa Nuva were a unique type of Toa never seen by anyone outside of the Mata Nui Matoran, but Matoro was one of those Matoran. There’s no reason he wouldn’t recognize it while Reidak didn’t.
Of course, this ultimately doesn’t matter, since the quote was only referring to Matoro’s recognizance of the mask, not the armour.
(Plus, even if Matoro did recognize the armour, that doesn’t necessarily mean it was Nuva-style armour. If he recognized an old mask based on Nuju’s tales of the past, I don’t see why he couldn’t also recognize other styles of Toa armour)
Maybe nitpicky, but i personally think it is supposed to be Matoro recognizing it as Toa armour. The line specifying it as Toa armour is right after a line that is definitely from Matoro’s perspective, and if it were just for the agudience benefit, Teridax states that it’s a Toa right afterwards, so it could have just said “bits of armour” if Matoro didn’t recognize it as Toa armour. At least, that’s how I read it.
Well, I gave it the name.

Maybe somewhere in Metru Nui there was some statue of the Toa Mangai. That would explain why it looked familiar. Just a thought.

Hey, that Reidak quote is actually pretty solid evidence of my point. Cool stuff.
Considering the giant statues of Lhikan around the Coliseum…

So since TTV had the discussion with MOD yesterday, do we think we’ll get an update for the Tuyet contest in the near future?

It was said at the end of the discussion that they still don’t know when the contest will start. It sounded like there’s going to be at least one more talk first.

what did they propose?
It started off with proposals for wider community engagement, in terms of both entering and voting, and ended with fairly lengthy discussions about the specifics of contest rules and auditing.
One of the proposals was for an “ambassador plan”, where people could submit their entries to any website involved in “the plan”, and then those entries would be passed on to a central auditing team (probably the same one as the last contest).
The other notable proposal was for voting. If it can actually be done reliably and securely, the idea would be that any website could host a new voting “applet”, which would consolidate all votes from all sites before calculating the winners.
There was also talk of giving banned users limited access to TTV if the applet idea doesn’t work. The accounts can be set to “Silenced”, which still prevents people from posting, but allows for participation in votes.
Just to be clear, nothing I have mentioned here is confirmed. There was very little, if anything at all, that was concretely decided in the talk.
