So what's the rule on acquiring and distributing Rockle iStones? Are there also allowed to be Rockia Xperistones, Samrock Galaxtones, HTR One Stones, etc?

[Indigo Individual]

And so begins another regular day in the life of Ga-Koro ...

Guys, use another village for your big fights. Like Le-Koro. Not Le-Wahi, the village itself.

No. No more Le-Koro battles. Leave Le-Koro alone.
Don't do it, man.

I say we set up a store for these. Start in Onu-koro. Call it Stone.

Madu?

Or, or, I have a better idea: let's remember that big corporations don't exist on Mata Nui! Oooh! Wouldn't that be fun?

And just as I was about to make a comment about how Nuju was probably going to come in and ruin our fun.

IC: Nikarra

Nikarra ducked back out of sight as Dorian pulled out his gun, seeing as she had in fact tailed him and was actually watching (and listening) from the rooftops. That other guy, Grokk, he had been with Dorian when she had broken down in the casino. She felt anger rising inside of her at hearing Dorian's 'get-out-of-jail-free card' excuse. Son of a...

I take one of the knives, for the sake of simplicity, and then I take a look at one of the more unusual weapons. I'll have a chance to properly examine it later, where I'm less likely to injure someone if something goes wrong.

OOC: The 'exotic weapon' is a pistol like the one now used by Dorian.

Honestly, if all you needed to get firearms was widgets/a semblance of alignment with Makuta, then you'd think there would be a few more gun-carrying PCs/NPCs now...

I guess it's up to Emzee to decide exactly if they're out of reach or not. I'd just prefer Nuju's earlier ruling that they can be obtained only by beating a foreigner and taking their stuff.

I assumed that 'exotic' meant 'foreign'.

Nuju can overrule this if he so chooses, but if that's the policy then I'll be fine with -one or two- pistols in that crate. There's no doubt that members of the CG would have bought at least one of every type of weapon usable in this game, no matter who it belonged to or where it came from. I was first under the impression that pistols weren't in use at all.

And yes I did mean foreign. Just be smart about it though. Couple pistols, one or two zamor launchers max. Mostly swords and knives.

It's reasonable to assume that the CG has probably ferreted away one or two pieces of foreign tech. However, seeing as Skakdi and Vortixx essentially wash up on the shore with whatever tech they've had approved and only that, it isn't feasible to assume that the CG's arsenal of foreign weapons is extensive or complete in any way.

Policy is still that, with the exception of staff-controlled CG characters (and/or characters they have loaned low-power foreign weapons out to), there can be no usage of foreign tech weapons by natives of Mata Nui unless said weapons are won in fair combat.

[Katuko]

Okay, now I'm really confused. It helped but I'm still dizzy. So, what exactly are the war zones and which are still peaceful and unaltered? I'm guessing ILS is a big Toa Team fighting against the Makuta worshippers, right? Anyway, which part or parts of Mata -Nui is still safe and unchanged? Sorry if I'm another of a bore, I've been offline for a long long while,. Appreciate it if you or anyone could help. Thanks.

Heuani (the staff-controlled Toa of Shadow) has been going around to nudge Makuta-loyal groups into actually gathering their forces. They will be attacking the ILS and its allies (both of which have grown a fair bit) at some point in the future. With the exception of Pala-Koro (our village at Lake Pala) being expanded a bit and some of the other villages being struck (such as Ko-Koro, it's currently calmed down and rebuilding), there hasn't been all that much change in the locations. The most unsafe locations is probably Kini-Nui itself and some of the island's darker places, due the how close it is to Mangaia. If Makuta wants to find you, though, he will.

The ILS consists of members from every species, by the way, though mostly Toa and Matoran.

Harbored?

Not "harbored". "Pearl Harbor'ed". A verbified noun, meaning "done the same way as Pearl Harbor"; that is: being bombed and destroyed by enemy forces.

Oh wonderful, the Massi are going up against three Mark Bearers. This couldn't possibly end badly.

What are you talking about? You've got the advantage of numbers, almost two to on-

Oh yeah. Two on one didn't work out do well.

Really, it's mostly two. Praggos doesn't really care, so he isn't going to go too deep into the fighting.

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

Praggos has to keep his allies. He's probably going to do his first real fighting ever, since his original incarnation as a female.

...Anyways, it seems that I've started a random sub-plot, where now, apparently, male Toa of Crystal from the same place as Raxa (and now Bloodstone) will be rather murderous upon meeting.

EDIT: As well, any annoying G-modding that could possibly have occured by having somebody trying to swing around a tree without a Pakari, or other strength-enhancing thing, is rendered moot due to the fact that it's been destroyed as it is.

[Katuko]

In real life we don't stop in the middle of a sword swing to argue about how unrealistic the previous laser dodge was, though. :3

[Kaitholas Cage]

I suppose I owe an explanation. I was using Kaithas' toa powers to move the sword, not his strength. However the point is moot.

Yeah, well, you've got another post to edit, mate.

I also fail to see how poison thorns would be able to go through a gauntlet in the case that Praggos were holding on, anyways. That makes no sense a'tall.

[Kaitholas Cage]

I didn't think about gauntlets, me friend.

[Dallas Winston]

So, as an outsider to the Ga-Wahi fight, please please please play realistically. I haven't read the whole fight, nor do I have any interest in it, but from what I can read, there are very clearly fatal injuries, lapses in common sense, and just plain out "wat" moments abounding and flying like bullets, and somehow, everyone's just, like...ignoring them? Negating them? I don't even know.

As it stands, your characters shouldn't be able to get away with this stuff even if they do escape in one piece. You guys went on a witch hunt for Dorian that's still ongoing just because he trashed the docks against one other person; this is on a much larger scale, and please don't just make a clean getaway. It's not fair to any of the other players in the game and it's a real bummer when realistic situations get killed just for the sake of epic like what seems to be happening right now.

But whatever. I can't make you guys do anything. I'm just urging you to keep this stuff in mind.

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

That's why, y'know, I'm trying to avoid doing autohits and anything else besides ice walls and domes, and what-not. And why Praggos is most likely going to be banished from Ga-Koro, and Ko-Koro, due to the fact that a guardsman was doing this stuff...Yeah.

My thoughts exactly. PCs aren't gods incarnate, or capable of walking away from anything without physical or social repercussions; nor are they shounen fighting anime heroes possessing the ability to keep power through anything on sheer determination. Please try to give this fight some remote semblance of sanity and remember that.

I am trying as hard as I can to not god moderator. this mark bearer stuff though.... Kaithas is nearly dead, and with the exception of Utu, they haven't taken a single hit. And, it seems that wounding Yick the way he was was kind of autohittingish. My editor is awful too, so I have a hard time editing things in time.

Um. Praggos has been crashed into two walls now, most likely suffering a broken rib or so, as well as the fact that he is tiring down, running low, and his mark is moreso in control.

[Kaitholas Cage]

I was more referring to Iris. I concede your point.

[The Snark Knight]

The wounding of Yick wasn't autohitting because he couldn't avoid it. Each time I gave him a chance to react, it was jyst that there wasn't much he could do. And furthermore, Couch hasn't complained. If Couch had a problem with it, I would have talked it over with him and worked out a way for everyone to walk out happy.

Yick isn't dead. In fact, he can recover. It just won't be easy.

@Tyler and Mangs: You're right. Which is why, once things settle down a bit with the post speed, the Marines will show up. And I haven't spotted too man y issues of g-modding, and the ones I saw were minor an fixed quickly.

And to address the injuries side of things, all of the Bearers have taken hits. Iris is running low on elemental energy, and has a broken finger. The reason he hasn't taken much damage is because there haven't been many attacks he couldn't avoid. That's the way fights work. SOmetimes, both combatants are quite injured. Other times, it's a complete and utter beatdown.

[Half a Cup of EW]

The Toa Daedra are joining the battle between the Toa Maasi and the Mark Bearers (as well as whoever else has decided to jump in). They have no side; they are merely trying to restore peace and tranquility to Ga-Koro. If you run, they will not chase you, but if you stay, I cannot guarantee they will not kill you.

In other words, let's finish up this battle before everyone gets angry.
