Chat with Greg Farshtey

Okay, you may not remember, but a while back (page 715) I asked if you thought the species of Ancient & Tyrant and The Shadowed One and Conjurer could be combined. You said (page 735) that you personally didn't see a problem with it if if was something the community wanted. I took the idea to BZPower where a survey was taken.

Here are the results of the survey

2/3rds of those who voted thought that TSO and Con should be merged in some way. Over 4/5ths of voters thought Ancient and Tyrant should be merged. However, when asked if all four creatures' species should be combined or not, half of voters (the largest category) said they shouldn't be.

It should be noted that five people voted consistently that they felt there should be no canonization at all. If you want to see the poll and various comments, you can look up "Consolidating a Few Species" at BZP. (I tried to post a link, but this website wouldn't let me.) It's been several months, so I everyone who would vote should have.

Anyway, the largest percentages of people felt that the races of Ancient & Tyrant should be combined and the races of TSO and Con should be merged in some way, but most felt all four should not be of the same race. Given the proposal and ideas accompanying the poll, that also means

-Tyr grew tired of the ancient war and left to conquer other island/s
-Con grew tired of the ancient war and left to conquer other island/s

-At some point TSO lost his patience with Con., so he cut off Con.'s tail--which is why TSO has a tail and Conjurer doesn't.

(Also, some trivia worth mentioning is that both TSO and Con claimed/had some power over disintegration.)

So are you fine with this?

hadidi1999	2016-03-07 10:09 UTC–5 Permalink Alright this is super exciting: So.... What should I ask Greg... Hm, this is hard, drawing a blank here. Give a good question to, that no one has asked you yet, Mr. Greg, and then I will ask you it. How about that

It's not an issue I consider to be all that important -- sort of feels like the kind of thing I traditionally get ripped for canonizing.

This is just my observation, but If a human brain can be considered non-artificial intelligence, it stands to reason the A.I. has to be placed in an electronic brain of some sort.
voporak1	2016-03-07 14:26 UTC–5 Permalink hello Mr Greg 1. Are you going to continue the story some day? I know this is not going to happen anytime soon, but I still hope that you'll continue the story... 2. Would it possible that Tanma, Solek and Photok become Toa of Light? 3. The Great Being Cursed is the most powerful character of Bionicle? Because, He has affected Vezon with its powers even if he was in another dimension. And correct me if I'm wrong, but even Mata Nui can not affect beings through the dimensions with his power. Even Tren Krom and Artakha can not do that. Maybe Annona or the Ignika... Also, the scope of the GBC's powers is multiversal? universal maybe? 4. The golden mask that Tahu currently owns (G1) Is it the same as in 2001-2002? Or it's a mask as the others but in gold? Thank you!
MrBlackpants	2016-03-07 14:47 UTC–5 Permalink Is there a cetrain amount of punishment the energy sheild generated by the Kanohi Hau can take before breaking? Or can it block any attack or an indefinite amount of time as long as the user is aware of the attack?
EddyGould	2016-03-08 05:49 UTC–5 Permalink 1) Was the Mountain of Xia the Rahi or the elemental being? 2) Who created the Fire Drones? What happened with them after the Great Cataclysm and so on? Are they functioning? 3) What happened to Telluris' Skopio XV-1? 4) Are there more Leader Class Skralls in the Bota Magna region? 5) Would Tuma join to The Shadowed One's army of criminals? And Strakk, would he?
Nexo81	2016-03-08 09:50 UTC–5 Permalink Hey Mr. Farshtey/Greg, 1) what inspired your username? 2) How are you today? (Don't answer this if you don't want to...) 3) Have you read the outline of the story I posted? (DONT FEEL RUSHED! I understand that you are very busy. I'm the patient type. Just checking in

Logically, yes, but as you know, the rules of our reality do not prevail in BIONICLE.

Logically, yes, but as you know, the rules of our reality do not prevail in BIONICLE. Not only that, but even if the GBs made organic brains, they would still be artificial brains and thus Artificial Intelligence. Any defenition not specified in Bionicle is considered to be unknown to us, but using our defenitions can help us get an idea of the different things it might mean.

Thank you! 1. I have no idea why people cannot just apply the logic necesary to not ask this question LEGO is never going to allow the continuation of the G1 story. They are trying to market a reboot, and it simply makes no sense to allow the continuation of a story that they're no longer making sets for.
gelu744	2016-03-08 19:45 UTC–5 Permalink Hi Greg, this is not a G1 related question Have you watched "Bionicle: The jurney to one" yet? If yes, did you liked the movie? XD

XD No, I have not seen it yet. I actually have not had a lot of time to watch TV lately ... when I am not taking care of my daughter, I have been building the LEGO Super Heroes Helicarrier and working on a jigsaw puzzle and playing a little on the PS3.
