If you return at all

I mean yeah that’d probably be a good idea after all it’s not like this is the Ghid Details Who’s Next On The Chopping Block Topic


I’m fully in the camp of blue mist detailing island shape because there’s too many similarities (especially with the left shape) to the islands to write it off as a stretch of the imagination

certainly could’ve been implemented better, but Faber’s probably not going to put too much effort into an image he’s gonna take off his instagram moments after posting it

I repeat; extremely poggers

the people on reddit seem to think, but don’t be fooled

also can Faber post content with actual content? I want to have to guess at the interpretation of rust or fuzzy reflections in a VR headset again please Faber

I don’t know how many of you are privy to Faber’s comments before he deleted the first 3 images, the BIO NIC LE. Well, decide for yourselves.

There is more to that comment exchange, but I don’t have it to hand sadly. In a day or so, Meso’s going to put out a video on the subject which has the rest of them.

I personally don’t think Faber has anything planned, and he’s trying to cover himself. He’s essentially saying, “I’m just going with the flow here, and unless you want to come with me, buzz off”. Which I mean, sure, but when you’ve been stringing people along for 2 years there comes a point at which you need to lay things out. You can hold your cards close, but you have to play them eventually. I can get the pestilence that plagues the land right now slowing things down, and that’s fine, but you need to explain that to people.

Yet now you go and blame the community for not letting you string them along anymore? Does he think the community was stagnant before he came along?
You explicitly said “I am not trying to get to the beach”, then why the heck are we here? If there’s no endpoint, if there’s no final product, then why are we here?

Do you expect us to sit here a look at old or reused concept art, while listening to you rabble on like a fortune cookie generator?

I’m sorry Faber. I was on board at first, but you’ve well and truly lost me at this point.

If there’s one thing that’s really obvious from all this, anyone - almost anyone in this discussion - is better than Faber at PR. The issue is nobody knows what he’s saying.

Is it yes or no? Is it maybe? Is it vague? Is it definite? Does he really have nothing, or is he trying to be mysterious? Is he being defensive, or is he trying - and horribly failing - to defend himself? Is he attempting to justify two years’ worth of posing and pretending, or does he have something that he doesn’t have enough of to reveal?

And in that case, why is he posting at all?

This sort of written nonsense is exactly why Faber is a horrible public relations person. Because there is no way to tell what he’s saying or if he’s saying anything at all. Even mismanaged corporate twitter accounts do a better job at presenting info than he does.

And just like a fortune cookie, everything he’s said recently is words on paper. Words so meaningless and subjective they’re forgotten within five minutes of reading them.

But, at the same time, I’m gonna be thoroughly entertained watching him get to shore when he’s aiming for the mid pacific. He may have lost you, but I’m thoroughly invested in what comes next.

his reply has way too many water themed words which makes me think he’s promoting rebel nature

the main character is called wave(born) so this theory isn’t that farfetched

At this point, my main reason for hoping something comes of this (or that at least, if nothing does, we get an explanation of what the idea was) isn’t even to see new “official” BIONICLE content, but moreso the fact that I really respect what Faber brought to BIONICLE G1 and I’d hate to see him ruin his reputation in the fanbase with whatever he’s doing here.

At this point i’m just fully expecting most of the community to write Faber and his “project???” off as a fraud or a scam.

Edit: I’m not saying that Faber is scamming people, btw. I’m just saying that, given how fandoms and communities behaves at times, i’m currently just expecting a few to have some over the top, bitter reaction to Faber not “giving them what they want”… which apparently would be: Bionicle G1; Part 2, or something.

How is he defrauding anyone or scamming anyone?

Terrible at PR as he is, he’s not so stupid that he’d make people give financial backing for nothing. You haven’t been asked for a single penny, and although he’s promised to deliver, he isn’t failing at the commmunity’s price. He’s only failing his own standards by claiming he meant something entirely different from the getgo.

…At least, that could be what he’s saying.

I didn’t say that he was defrauding people, i said i was fully expecting the COMMUNITY would write him and his project off as either a fraud or a scam. You’re forgetting that, fandoms does or say stuff that doesn’t really follow logic.

seriously, if you ever look up fandoms like the Star Wars community, you would see a few people who wrote George Lucas off as a “fraud” after he made the prequels/ special editions.

When someone states a viewpoint with no additional information - and that someone isn’t a news commentator or makes themselves out to be one - it’s typical to assume they agree with the viewpoint they verbalize.
