So, in other words, I like how I have started another tradition.

Calling Meta-Mind M-M.

yaaay i'm good at this

Also

Yeah

BZPRPG time

Always weird to work around, not gonna lie. Not really.

Unless you're new. Then it makes no sense.

I don't see how that is relevant.

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

I approve of BZPRPG time. Of course, if you try to explain it you'll get bogged down.

So it's done by MAGIC.

"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey ... stuff." - Tenth Doctor.

That is the simple explanation my dear boy.

[Floridian Citrus]

I find it easier to not try and explain it.

Actually helps.

^My basic plan.

[CAPUA]

New character is up.

Now I just have to figure out where I want to strike first.

[JL v2]

Strike the most annoying person in this game.

[Constructman: Black Knight]

Who would that be?

[Bulik]

Watch out JL; if he did that it might have consequences you wouldn't appreciate.

But on topic, How long are the FoM going to stay together?

[Constructman: Black Knight]

Cool-Aid: Post in a bigger font size please? I can barely read this.

[Shuhei Hisagi]

Is anyone interested in interaction?

[Content with Life]

That's perfectly legible size.

[Master of Masks]

I definitely see the group remaining together as this game draws to a close, who knows, really?

Well Cool-Aid, Valria is just working out in the Charred Forest, so if your character has any reason to be out that way, she's open for interaction.

[Floridian Citrus]

I was going to offer interaction with Onuzek, but The Mask beat me to it...

Funny, maybe I could have Onuzek find Valria or something... Might work...

[Kughii]

Is anyone interested in interaction?

YOU KNOW I AM BOY!

Ishi, Ga-koro, in a discussion with Kakaru's character... Kakaru (WOW)

DJ, Pala-koro, interacting with AParangi and The Peer

Mita, in Po-koro drinking. I just have to write a post about her life's failures first.

[JL v2]

I have a Toa of Electricity doing nothing in Le-Wahi forests. In any case, he's pretty annoying.

Bulik gets it.

Also, Axilus, if you want, you can join the all-matoran team as well. :/

First, I see what's meant by the whole "alternate timeline" deal... it's just that, to me, it seems simpler to allow authors to have their own timeskips and look at different parts of the same timeline, if you see what I mean here.


On another note, uh, I guess I have a Toa of Plantlife standing in Pala-Koro, getting beaten by fighting a Toa of Lightning? Who are both really slow because the battle ended? Perhaps I should get around to making a "surrender and run" post posthaste, before someone gets any ideas. :<
I also have a slightly eccentric De-Matoran doing nothing in Ko-Koro, if that's relevant. And another Toa I've been meaning on adding to the Profile Pages, come to think of it.

[Shuhei Hisagi]

Anyone who wants to RP: Kuyre is open in Ta-Koro!

[CAPUA]

Niverys is going to try and steal from Val.

[Shuhei Hisagi]

Niverys is going to try and steal from Val.

Ooh, yes.

Opportunity.

[Content with Life]

BZPRPG Homeness Level - INCREASE!

[JL v2]

A sudden thought occurs to me as I study psychology at school. (Meaning about a minute ago.)

'Thoughts' in the brain are electrical impulses.

And Toa of Lightning control electricity.



They could literally control the shape and size of thoughts. They could even boost themselves, maybe doing things like sending false messages to their own brain that sends out adrenaline.

:/

Just that it needs mastering.

[snoip lion]

The only issue with that, is that knowledge would not be possible to have on Mata-Nui.

That is a cool thought though.

[Shuhei Hisagi]

Maybe in a futuristic RPG.

That would actually be really epic. A Different Kind of Mind Control.

What's fearful is that you don't need knowledge for things like this. It's about as knowledge-needing as creating positive/negative magnetic fields.

But yeah, it's OP.

[Axilus Prime]

All right, JL, thanks. I guess I'll make a Matoran, then...right after I PM you.

For some reason all my past Matoran are simpletons and clumsy.

[Floridian Citrus]

Wow, that was six paragraphs, never knew I had it in me. Well, as long as it allows my evulz plans to take shape, I don't care how long it is. :3

[Content with Life]

Discrimination against the Matoran race. Matoran are cool man. They're like Hobbits.

[Axilus Prime]

Hmm. I suppose that is discrimination.

But with a team like this, discrimination will hopefully be impossible, even for an RPing noob like me.

[Floridian Citrus]

OOC: Can I interact, Gravity?

I'd rather not have any interaction at this moment, perhaps later.

Flashbacks need to be done.

[Ghosthands]

I'm just going to pop in with my 'two cents' here about the Toa-of-Lightning-mind-control-thing, which, essentially, boils down to 'NO.'

Besides the fact that it's OP, there are a few factors which I believe make it highly unlikely, if not necessarily impossible.

• You'd need extensive knowledge of how the brain works, and of how thoughts are constructed of their electrical signals - something that, with 21st century scientific knowledge and tech, still don't properly understand.
• These electric impulses go on at the cellular level, and are exceptionally weak. This means that you'd need a phenomenal amount of focus to be able to even sense them, let alone control them - and remember, these are things you can't even see.
• A single thought is made up of so many complex interactions of impulses that you would have to split your concentration so many ways that it's highly unlikely anyone with anything but centuries of practice could achieve any form of thought-control.

That said, there are a few things you could do which bypass the above. Migraines and epilepsy, for example, are caused by an overload of signals in the brain. I suspect that would be a lot easier to create than a complex thought.

On another note entirely:

IC: Xerov (Kini-Nui Path)

Being near the back, I witness the scene between the fool whose name I don't know, our ex-leader, the Toa she had tried to flirt with, and another being I don't know much about. They're arguing over Echelon.
I hear the moron refer to him as an 'opportunist'. I alone know why Echelon is truly a part of this.
He has no illusions about Makuta. He follows him because he wants power, and he believes that Makuta's is the path that will lead him to it. Does that make him less supportive of Makuta than the others? No. If anything, he's more invested in it than any of us.
Speaking of being invested, I wonder where the Fe-Matoran is...
I speed up slightly. If I reach Kini-Nui faster than the others, I can warn Echelon ahead of time.

THIS BOY

Knows what he's talking about.

Cause we have to go to school/work/whatever

Just that it needs mastering.

First, that would require knowledge of science and neurology that we don't have in the twenty-first century. On an island without gunpowder.
Second, those electrical impulses are extremely weak. It would take an incredibly skilled Toa of Lightning to even sense them, let alone control them.
Third, due to the way our brains work, thoughts aren't single inpulses - they're complex chains of neuron firings. You would need literally millennia of practice to even counterfeit a simple thought.
And lastly, we're not even sure Bionicle brains work the same way ours do. Remember that they're artifical and all.
