Maybe we could watermark them, not with an identifiable Eurobricks symbol, but with a BIONICLE mark that wouldn't actually appear on actual 2010 stuff, so we and moderators can quickly tell our fan-stuff from real, while not spoiling the "authenticity" of it for others.

I was going to suggest that. We should have a template so all the watermarks are the same, though.

Or one person could do them all by downloading the pictures, watermarking them, and re-uploading them for the creators to download and replace.

I think all people able to edit their own images should be the ones to do it so one person isn't swamped with a bunch of photos to edit. :P

So someone will create a GIMP .xcf file of the watermark, upload it, everyone downloads, and uses it as a layer with a set opacity.

Sounds good, :D

I have the means- All we need is a watermark

A .png with a pre-set opacity would work so much better.

That's too obvious though.

A .png is fine too.

:P

Anyway neat, but it could be a tad... glaring, especially if the set background is dark and stuff =S

Or I'm mistaken and we're just going to put it at the corner of the white background.

Thank you!!! :D

It goes in the corner.

On large images it wouldn't be too in-the-way.

Plus it'd blend in with all the white.

Heck it'd be invisible.

I'll try GIMPing up a blurry set pic as soon as I get back home.

I'll make it grayer, if that helps.

Edit:

Different ones can be used depending on the pic's background.

Edit2:

Here's what the darker one looks like.

the cordak lancher is the closet i coud get to a rapid fire spere lancher

Noooo...

It's kind of obvious now.

I wanted it to be invisible. :P

We can play around with watermarks later, I guess, maybe even the EB symbol or something.

We should get set cans/boxes done.

This hasn't been seen for a while, so bumping this up with more info, stories, all the MOCs/art I can find that are still relevant

Add anything that you feel like adding [something I missed, or maybe a backstory/Name/whatever to your creation]:

Glatorian:

The Dor/Antrozek- Art: Ex-raider Ferast from Iconox [w/ Sand Armor]

Bfahome - MOC:Moruum from Tajun

Alchy - MOC: Teborus from Iconox. "A strongwilled Glatorian from Iconox, Teborus is there to help Mata Nui! Armed with a Spear Launcher and Shield from the newfound technology underneath Bara Magna, he is ready to take on any experiments that lie in his wake! Contains 51 pieces."

Yami-MOC: Vostra the Vulcanus Glatorian "Quote:"For years I have been pushed aside for younger warriors like Malum and others with more experience like Ackar. The Agori may have given up on me, but I have not given up on them"

Description:An experienced warrior with a record of time as a Trainee without a promotion, he came to Vulcanus shortly after the Arena system was formed and grew a friendly rivalry with Ackar, who was both a mentor and friend. He, however, had no patience for people like Strakk, who he more than often challenged for no reason only to be bested by his constant rule bending.

He was always being overtaken by younger and wiser Glatorian and he has finally had enough and with his new task of aiding Mata Nui hes ready to prove he's not a lost cause.

Personality:Gruff and solemn at times, but very polite to anyone and very loyal to anyone but if made angry or if his pride or friends are at stake he will fight with unpredictable ferocity. Has an intense dislike for the Ex-Raider Glatorian."

Ecto - Art: Name? the Tesara?Outcast "Glatorian outcast had been living in mountains near hole into prototype GS, runs after Mata-Nui and Gelu and company to warn them of danger of falling in, and they fall in. Very dejected and hopeless."

Mata Nui: 3DB's Version.

Gelu: ?!

Agori:

3D Brickthing - MOC: ? with Rotadus V2 from Vulcanus[?] [Name?]

VBBN - MOC: Tarkol, from Tajun

Someone: ?

Someone: TARDUK

Someone: Kirbold [someone has the pieces for him, yet can revamp him, it'd be great ^^]

Villains:

Swamp/Air/Plants: Antrozek's Green Villain [uncolored]

Ice: Ecto's Ice Villain

Toxic/Poison:Vertea's Villain

Stone/Sand/?: Phantoka Chirox' Brown/Tan Villain

[Make up your own elements if you want I guess, we're going to vote on 6 anywho.]

Mind's LackeyAsilex

Mind: BFA

Creatures:

Skelltor: 1 2 3 4

BFA: 1 2 3

Refugees:

BFA: 1 2

Other/Ideas:

3DB:Unregressed Zesk [Where does this go? o.o]

Asilex: Launcher?

BFA: Not sure if this counts as creature.

Vertea: Crappy map. :P

3DB: Fire Ice Jungle Ice Bird Proto Rahkshi

Forgive me if I missed anyone/anything, or if you have something new to add, once again, feel free.

People need to be able to see it so they don't actually think the "sets" are real and post them on BS01 or BZP or anywhere as if they were.

But that ruins the fun of making the fake sets. =/

I think as really small watermark off the EB symbol on the corner of the set can or box would be good.

Invisible-ish, but obvious enough to the mods. Something along the lines of what 3DB said a page or two back is what I think would work best.

And it would be so much better if we made them aware of their fakeness before they post it. Less work for mods etc.

Also I thought the point of this was to make our own story, not trick people into thinking it's real…

Hm, you're right.

We should get other ideas on it as well.

Where is everybody? :P

[-TA-]

No offense to the builders, but I really doubt anyone will think these MOCs are real sets. Note that pretty much all set fakes that people have fallen for in the past were tiny grainy blurry pics, and I don't think you guys are editing them like that, right?

Not to mention the lack of new molds and recolors etc, the general amateurishness of the photo quality, etc etc.

Today, I was bored so I typed in Bionicle on Brickshelf. Well, I found this interesting photo

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3979871

I have no idea if this is a V2 or if it's just some clever design. It shows a new helmet so...

I think I will cry now.

Carry on.

That thing is so obviously fake...
