Meta-Mind, I really like you, a lot. What you are saying is exactly how I tend to feel about fighting in this RP in general. The Majority of the time I see fighting it's merely for the sake of fighting or trying to kill a character you don't particularly like. I mean I'm all for the occasional fight between characters if a plot demands as such, but there are way too many characters that just go around looking for a fight with the first person they come across or catches their eye. It's dumb. 

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

Fighting is too stressful for me. Unless it's preplanned. My heart rate went through the roof during the mark bearer fight.

 

Side note: Acedia is the best deadly sin.

Hey people, what are the current statuses of the various Makura Followers that attacked Pala-Koro.  Its important for the post I'm cooking up.  Just a general "he/she's here doing this" sorta thing.

They retreated into the jungle after the village's fall. Most of them went to Kini-Nui - I think some are still there. They've started to leave, though.

8th? Despair?

[The Fourteenth Doctor]

Not so much despair has having no love or joy. More different than envy is from greed, let me tell you.

 

I'm not trying to be insulting. I rant about this IRL to my fellow inmates all the time, and never about the Daedra.

Apathy?

Guys.....

 

What font is the matoran language in?

[EmperorWhenua]

On Mata Nui it's a perfectly spheroid alphabet. They don't have fonts.

I'm not taking offence at this; just thought I'd explain how I see the difference, seeing as it's a tricky subject, but one I've spent a good deal of time on.

 

Envy is the desire for other people's things. It's almost resentful: "Why do they get that and I don't? I want it. I deserve it more than them." Envy is malicious and spiteful, always wanting to get more at the expense of others. It is vengeful and thinks ill towards others.

 

Greed, on the other hand, is the desire for things in general. It is not vindictive towards people who have more; greed is simply the lust for more than it needs for survival. It does not measure its wealth by what other people have, but simply by how much its desire is quenched (which it never is; greed is never satisfied).

 

The difference between the two is that one is motivated by others, and one is motivated by the self. Envy is the definition of wanting but never getting; what it wants is always one step further, until it is at the top of the world, better than everyone else. Greed is the definition of obtaining but always wanting more on top of what it already has, simply for the pleasure of having more.

 

In short, Greed gets what he wants, and just wants more. Envy wants everything, but never gets anything, turning him sour and spiteful.

 

This, of course, is my definition, but has nothing to do with how Tyler plays Envy. There are a thousand different ways to play a character, and a thousand different ways to interpret a deadly sin.

[Toa Onarax]

Apathy?

 

Where's Onarax. He's perfect for this job.

 

 

Someone call?

 

I'm tempted now to make a character based off of general Apathy.

[Content with Life]

On Mata Nui it's a perfectly spheroid alphabet. They don't have fonts.

Font? What's a font? A type of Rahi?

 

In all seriousness, the Matoran language has no font except for on Bara Magna, but what's a Bara Magna?

 

Oh hello there Onarax, yes, we called. And post if you could, seeing that I've lured you out.

[Floridian Citrus]

Quite easily one of my largest posts to date.  Well, somewhat interesting, if any of you have been reading my other Zauk posts.  If not, well, look how much I've improved.

[JL v2]

Zauk's post was cool.

 

Sadly I have no idea who he is.

 

Oh well.

Which is why one should pay attention to most posts that are made.

Listen to Hubert. If you don't read everyone's posts, you'll just end up confused. Which is fine if you're okay with being confused, but if you prefer to know what's going on in the world I'd recommend reading most posts.

 

Fisher!

You don't need to focus a lot of attention onto it, but just skim over so you know what's going on.

So envy is wrath and greed combined. Kidding, kidding.

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

Soooo...is there anything major going or someone who can interact in, say, Onu-Wahi? I need something for my De-Matoran to do now that Mef has had to depart =/

[Bulik]

I've been pondering this feeling I've had in my subconscious for a long time.  

 

And now I figured it out.  

 

TNG's posts look like a bowl of Fruit Loops©.

[Constructman: Black Knight]

Never thought of THAT one before... Strange analogy.

[Draezeth]

More like Pride and Greed.

Can someone explain what is going on in Pala-Koro?

[Constructman: Black Knight]

Po koro guard is there to pick up the turaga. The fighting has mostly ceased

Edited by Constructman, Dec 09 2012 - 11:19 AM.

[Dallas Winston]

Wait. They sent the Po-Koro Guard to pick up the Turaga?

 

The guard with maybe two dozen people confirmed to still be alive? The guard that got trumped by the BZPRPG equivalent of the Three Stooges in pirate costumes? That Po-Koro guard?

 

Aw, man.

 

-Tyler

[Shuhei Hisagi]

The one that's at only 80% strength after the whole mess with the Jhianil, yeah.

[Bulik]

Define mostly

 

I just need to make sure that my skakdi won't be tackled by a bunch of psychopaths as soon as he stops hiding.

[Floridian Citrus]

Yeah, but we've still got a warship.

 

As well as a Naona.

 

And quite a few PCs.

[Shuhei Hisagi]

Oh no!

Now I'll never take Ba Sing Se!

[Mr. Peanuts]

Yeah, but we've still got a warship.

 

As well as a Naona.

 

And quite a few PCs.

Which have pretty much all gone to pick up the turaga, leaving the koro in the hands of the weakened NPC body.

 

And while NPCs are decently strong, PC guards are typically better. So the village is in a very suboptimal position.

 

But hey, things could be worse.

 

Po-Koro could be Xa-.

So if I were to break Jianzha pit Jack Sparrow style because she's in a temporal freeze (getting no interaction)...

That's true, but Dehkaz is counting on the fact that there are Toa in the village.  Besides, getting the Turaga back is pretty much the biggest thing on their to do list.

 

But, that's one of the reasons he wants to get this done quickly, to avoid leaving the village relatively unguarded for any period of time.

If they consider returning the turaga important and want to protect the village, they might as well have contacted another PC guard group of another koro and asked them to retrieve the turaga instead. Po- was hit multiple times. I'd think Ta- or maybe Le-, with gukko transportation, could maybe escort them without fear of leaving a koro behind.

 

The fact is that all koro have toa. All koro have staff NPCs for smiting attacks without approval. But not all koro have PC guards or have been devastated by series of attacks.

That's also true.  Still, getting the Turaga back was sorta just tacked on OOC.  The Fowadi was just going to sink some (NPC) pirates at first.

 

So we rolled with it.  Besides, returning the Turaga by boat is probably one of the more secure options.  Both for protecting the Turaga and protecting people from the Turaga.  The Fowadi was just available at the time.

My question still stands.

I've noticed that a lot of the time, when a PC gets thrown in jail, they are forgotten about and never see another post again.

[Varren Rehn]

Escaping from jail is a difficult feat. Unless, you have friends who aren't in jail.
