9After eight and a half years, we finally learn the name of the Endless Ocean Planet.
10Why did I have a feeling that was the name?
11I thought it had a Bionicle name, not an english name. Anyways, its still pretty cool that it has a name now.

12Eehh... That's Latin, not English.
1As much as I hate to break up the discussion about the name of our favorite planet...
38Next person to ask me for the pronunciation of Lewa DIES.
2Hey Greg. I had a few quick question about some things you had mentioned earlier, that I needed clarification for.
31. You once implied that the Vorox were genetically modified by the Great Beings, which is how they ended up with stinger tails. Is this true? 41a. Does the same apply to the Zesk? 52. Since Sahmad is a somewhat ally of Roxtus and the Rock Tribe, does he join them for Arena battles? 62a. Same with Telluris? 73. Will the two trainees that die in RoV get named beforehand?
8Thanks in advance if you can answer any of these.
91-1A) I think it's very likely 102) No. Has no reason to do so. He does arena battles only with villages he has stolen Agori from, to give them a chance to "win them back." He does not steal rock Agori. 112a) Telluris has no relationship with the rock tribe at all. Only Sahmad does, because he does business with them 123) No.
13Ah, thank you for these answers, they raise some interesting questions.
141. Why would they do this? Based on Brothers in Arms, it's fairly clear that they have no moral qualms about experimenting on living beings, but what purpose did experimenting with the Sand Tribe serve? 152. Who does he accompany into the arena, then? Or can there be Agori only arena battles?
164. Perditus participated in the Core War, yes? 174a. Was he also present for the latest Great Tournament, when the Skrall attacked? 185. Were there any more elemental based tribes on Spherus Magna, or just the seven that we know of?
19Also, as the new official pronunciation guy, I have been beset with several requests for pronunciations, so could you kindly tell us how to pronounce:
20Midak 21Mohtrek 22Niazesk 23Nikila 24Manutri 25Lewa
26Again, thanks if you can answer these ^^
271) Knowledge 282) He doesn't accompany anyone, nor does he fear fighting a Glatorian 294) Yes 304a) Yes 315) Not that I know of

38Next person to ask me for the pronunciation of Lewa DIES.
1Greg I read EotS (which was amazing) and I have some questions about the sisters of the Skrall
21 Are they the female Skrall? 32 Are their mental powers in connection with any element lords? 43 Do they know that Baterra attack only weapon holders?
51) Yes 62) No 73) Probably, but it's not relevant to them, as they weren't using weapons before the baterra either

13Just for one more clearing up, are you sure it's Latin? I get it confused with Greek.
14And that's sort of the name I was expecting... it was really guessable.

12Aqua Magna? Seriously? And he thought "So-Matoran" was lame...
13Yeah. I kinda see how he would choose this, though. It's the simplest name. But it's so.......not cool. What about Hydrolus Magna? Aquaine Magna? Oceanus Magna? Oceaus Magna?
14So I guess, as far as we know, Mata Nui's never actually left Spherus Magna. Makes you wonder if those three planets are the entire Bionicle universe.
8I bet he chose Aqua because the LEGO company probably doesn't want to spend $10,000 on a name for a planet that the story doesn't even take place on anymore. 9I have a feeling this is gonna turn into the Teridax thing all over again.
1I'm just curious: is the reason you've been approving all these canon contests (Certavus, Kirbold, Surel, Kyry) because we're in a new universe that could use the fleshing out, or just a general interest in them? Would you approve a Tuyet or Helryx contest if BS01 or KJ asked, or do you want to keep it exclusive to Bara Magna?
2People seem to enjoy them, and if I have reason to believe we won't be doing a set of certain characters, I see no harm in them
3Well, there ya go. Apparently major characters from previous years are open for canon contests.
4...Tuyet? Anyone? Please?
1I agree they should be a special occasion sort of thing, but frankly, I don't see much of a downside to them.
1We were just planning a Certavus contest. We didn't realize that KJ or the German Magazine would follow in suit. >>
1All I'm saying is, it's a possibility. If someone wants to run a contest, Greg is open to accept ideas.
1Well, there we go, the name. Saw that coming. One mystery crossed off.

5I like contests, but it depends on the character. Some characters are better off a mystery.
1I'm not to crazy about some contests. I like it better when I can just MOC the character and say that it is them for sure.
11. Just out of curiosity, how much farther into the storyline are you than we are? (like what month of what year are you in right now) 22. About the name Aqua Magna, have you made sure to get it copyrighted yet? you should do it quick.
3Oh and by the way, i got your autograph twice .
41) We are done with 2010 at this point, GJ 52) Actually, legally, anything you write is copyrighted as soon as you write it. Trademarking, of course, is a different story.

1I knew it was gonna be Aqua Magna. Kinda weird though, since I put that name in a post and Greg later commented about it saying since nobody lived or explored that planet, why should it get a name. He said EOP would fit it, but I guess he changed his mind. 2I like it though. I wonder who was the first person to come up with that term though. I remember reading it on someone's page on BS01.
14) When Click acts as Mata Nui's shield, does he feel the blows when he's hit?
23) How would you describe Perditus' personality? 33a) Telluris'?
44) Does Telluris share the same hatred of Agori as Sahmad? 54b) Do the two interact often?
64) I would say no, I do not believe he has "nerves" in that form.
73) I haven't that much about Perditus, to be honest, because I haven't needed to use him in the story yet. 83a) Telluris is a little arrogent, sure of himself, and who wouldn't be with Skopio at your command?
94) Telluris doesn't like anyone, including Sahmad. 104b) No.

1Just a couple questions for you today, mr. gregF.
2Does Branar look and diffrent than any other warrior-class skrall? if he dosen't, it would be cannon to add a picture of the skrall set to his page? if he dosen't, how is he different?
3also, did Branar participate in the takeover of Atero?
4thanks, 5thoron.
61) Branar is being illustrated for Papercutz Graphic Novel #8, and may be given a different secondary color to distinguish him in story from the warriors he rides with. Until that is confirmed, it would not be accurate to put a Skrall set picture up for him, no. 72) I am sure he did.
1Hey Greg
2I hope you're doing well. Now that EOP's name is known, as well as the knowledge that it was a part of Spherus Magna, I'm assuming that all of the organic life on EOP was originally from Spherus Magna. Am I correct?
3If so, then how were all of the organic birds able to survive for so long without any land?
4Thanks
51) Yes 62) Well, on our world, the albatross could fly for three years without landing ... and the SM birds are not birds from Earth. It's entirely possible they could breed in the air or in the water, incubate live young or lay aquatic eggs, and live on fish, therefore not having any reason to land. You don't get birds evolving without any land, but they came from a place where there was land, so that's not a problem.

13Note that it's not just Perditus, but also Sahmad, Telluris, and Kirbraz who have not shown in the storyline yet. Like Mazeka and Vultraz last year, they will most likely appear in the serials. Besides, we aren't even done with winter serials yet.

9i've always wanted a green skrall.... in fact, thats what i thought it was. now taht you mention it, i geuss greg didn't actually say green... but would a blue or yellow or something skrall really look good? i don't think so.
1New stuff here.
23Some pretty interesting stuff. Especially the Ackar thing. I almost feel bad. But it's fiction, so...
2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4QUOTE 5Hey Greg. I have a few questions.
61. Since Ackar has made it into the comics, can you give us a little more information about him?
72. Are Scarabax at all intelligent?
83. Why were so many Skrall after Gelu in the most recent comic, A Hero Reborn? He is just a former secondary Glatorian who is alone in the desert. It should only take a single Skrall to take him down.
94. Did anyone go to investigate Mata Nui's crash site? It seemed like everyone noticed.
105. When Metus finds Mata Nui, he allows him to just kinda hop in his Thornatus V9. Isn't that kinda dangerous? He could've been a theif or a killer. Does Metus recruit Glatorian that way?
116. Did Kiina beat Ackar in that training match in A Hero Reborn?
127. Is the fight with Strakk that Raanu talks about the match in The Legend Reborn?
13Thank you for your time.
141) Such as? 152) Hard to say. Click certainly seems to show affection and loyalty, but so do dogs, so I guess it depends on if you think dogs are intelligent. 163) You forget what he does for a living -- he guards caravans. The patrol wasn't after him, they were after the caravan he was guarding, and he was fighting a delaying action to let the caravan escape. 174) Nope. 185) Well, you won't recruit them from a village, if they are in a village, they are already employed. 196) Training match is just that, practice, there are no winners or losers. 207) Ackar fights Strakk in the movie
21Well, like his personality. His morality. Is he noble? Is he obnoxious? Is he friendly? Loyal?
22Ackar is a veteran warrior who has seen a LOT of combat. He has fought long and hard for his village, but has reached a point where he's a little older and a little slower. But he keeps going because he feels he owes it to his village, even if they don't always appreciate him anymore.
23Some pretty interesting stuff. Especially the Ackar thing. I almost feel bad. But it's fiction, so...
1Not sure if any of this is new or not, but thought I'd post it anyway.
2Hey Greg I just had a couple quick question about Sahmad's / Telluris' tribe.
31. Are you planning on revealing the name of the tribe? 41a. Is it by chance the tribe of Light?
52. Is there any specific reason only their tribe was affected?
63. How was it that Telluris and Sahmad survived? 73a. Are there any other survivors?
84. Their tribe never participated in the Glatorian system, correct?
95. Was their tribe like the other tribes of SM, in that it had an Element Lord and Glatorian-species of that tribe?
10Thanks.
111) Not at the moment, no, it's not relevant 121a) I don't believe so, no 132) Because they lived in the region where the plague broke out. 143) How does anyone survive a plague? The Black Death wiped out up to 60% of the European population, but 40% survived. 153A) It's possible, but they may not be on Bara Magna 164) Correct 175) Glatorian like species, yes. EL, unknown, but if they did, he's dead.
1WHOA, WHOA . . .
19Is it just me or did Greg just say that it is possible that some Agori are not on Bara Magna .

21Well, we know they are not in Aqua Magna, so that leaves one other suspect...
1It's been thought of, but never confirmed. Still not confirmed, though. 
1It's been said that there might be other Skrall armies on the other moon, so it's not a surprise to hear about Agori or Glatorian being trapped somewhere else.
