** I hereby propose Xanatos Roulette be renamed to [[Bionicle|"Teridax Gambit."]] After about 80,000 years, eight real life years, more subplots both successfully worked and foiled, and almost cuasing the end of the world as we know it (which is what REALLY pushes it into Roulette territory rather than a rather lengthy [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]-if Matoro had hesistated for a split second, the Matoran universe would have been killed off for real-an entire parallel universe shows what would have happened had one of the Plan's crucial steps failed.) Top that, Xanatos.
