Day Run: The Player Lounge

CLASSIFICATION STATUS: Tier 2 - Open to Public.
The Garden Role-Playing ~ Kai-Nam Citizen Files

If the big-lettered words didn't make it clear enough, this topic is for the discussion of Day Run: The Garden. You can use this to make plans with others, discuss events, ask questions, and do other general stuff like that. It'll also serve as the home of the Day Run's scoreboard, which will help to keep track of contestants' Credits; if you aren't playing in the in-game tournament, it does not affect you and you need not worry about it.

With time, I'll most likely renovate this and add other stuff as it becomes necessary, but for now, I think we're good. So, without further adieu, enjoy, and play well!

[Hurricane iBrow]

Good to see this back up!
I'll try and post Vertak back up soon.

-ibrow

[Toa of Dancing]

Ah, yes, I love this RPG. <3 Good to see it back.

[Parugi]

Indeed, and I am glad to see you guys and the RPG back, as well.

Also, just in case anyone is wondering, once you repost your character you can go ahead and begin playing again. I would start the game again, but as I can't post twice in a row... yeah.

[BZP Blade]

Woot. It's back! =D Also, that was easier than I thought it'd be, just had to drag the profiles from one tab to another. =D

Gonna start off with a response to that last move I'd seen when I scanned the archives the other day.

[Toa of Dancing]

Speaking of which, I need to refresh myself where we were...

[Parugi]

Indeed you do. >
but regardless the alan-elithes fight is on my move now anyway so...

But yeah. Also, just to clear something up for some confused people -- if you used a reward before the downtime to get a fourth character, you can keep the fourth character.
In other words, literally everything in the RPG is as it was before the forums went off line. So there shouldn't really be any questions that need to be asked.

[BZP Blade]

Except, what do we do about the rewards that you were hinting about, like for RotR if we had've actually been posting still at the end of April? Like, I don't really remember if I actually used a reward or not, on here. I believe I might've used one on RotR for the 'minor reward' you gave out. I just don't recall on what. ^^;

I'm currently waiting on Kal to reappear. =P

[Parugi]

Eh; I wasn't keeping track of those, so I'm debating what to do about it. I'm probably going to just scrap it (keeping any used rewards, though) and hand out a new reward to everyone in celebration of the RPG's return.

EDIT: GOSH DARNIT YOU CAN'T SUE REWARDS!! ;>>

Edited by Parugi, Oct 15 2011 - 02:17 PM.

[BZP Blade]

Alright then. Pretty much your call, and it doesn't matter to me. I believe I used a reward to increase Kairan's elemental power(Or get a gun, the elemental power might've been someone else, or a secondary thing. =P); but I think that was for the RPG winning the contest, and therefore unrelated. =P

[Toa of Dancing]

Ah, well, one less character to catch up on. So that leaves Eryn in her fight and Khad... wherever he is.

[BZP Blade]

Actually, I believe it's TMV's move for the Eryn portion of the fight, so... It might just leave Khad to be caught up on. xD

[Toa of Dancing]

Well okay then... That makes my life even more simple.

The question is, when are the rest of everyone going to notice the forums are back up?

[Parugi]

Who knows? Hopefully soon. If I had my X-Box I would let Kal know, but sadly, I do not right now.

[BZP Blade]

I really have no clue. xD I'd assume within the next few days; assuming they haven't full-out left. =/ But for the most people, I'd assume at the latest by next week... Though, there's always the possibility of some people not having access to the computer or so.

/EDIT: Why does the prompt to let me know someone's post work sometimes, but not always? xD

Edited by Fullbringer Blade, Oct 15 2011 - 02:33 PM.

[Toa of Dancing]

Oh, that's right, Khad is on the off-screen mission with those Dark Hunters. So I'm good all around. =D

Also, they might've decided "Oh well, BZP is never coming back."

Edited by Toa of Dancing, Oct 15 2011 - 03:04 PM.

[BZP Blade]

Yeah. Hopefully word gets out to them that it's back and better than ever, though. =)

[Parugi]

That mission hasn't started yet, ToD; it's starting on the next in-game day. So no, you're not in the clear.

And yes, hopefully. Otherwise they might miss this big epic post I'm writing up as we speak.

[Toa of Dancing]

Oh. Well... Iunno, I'll just leave him getting ready for the mission.

[Lord of Adders Black]

I have two characters on that dragon hunting mission. Is the guy running that back?

[TMV-Spirit Nui]

Sorry just realized the forums are back up I am busy right now but I will post tomarrow for the fight between Nexus and Eryn.

Yay the forums are back!

[Skarloth]

And here I was, thinking my team was toast from the downtime. I'm glad TMV and Uber are still here.

Kayzata will be reposted in a few minutes.

-Skar

[Parugi]

Woot! People are coming back!

[BZP Blade]

Now we just need Kal to return so that Kairan's not just standing around. =P

[Hurricane iBrow]

Alright, time to finally start playing again!

Parugi, how long do me and Skarloth have to investigate the warehouse approximately before Vertak has to fight?

-ibrow

[Parugi]

Judging from people's willingness to lose the arena matches in the past, on top of the absence of a couple of the people currently fighting?
A month. :|

No; actually I'd say more like, OOCly, two or three days; ICly a couple of hours.

[BZP Blade]

Hey, if I actually had an opponent to fight, and something happened IC that would utterly shock Kairan and take him by surprise, then I would accept him getting knocked out of the fight, but as for right now... I don't even have an opponent. I should really look into making a second character, but I'm not quite sure what kinda differences I should have. =P

[Parugi]

You haven't been in any arena matches in the past; I wasn't talking about you.

[Toa of Dancing]

I have no idea who of whom you speak.

[BZP Blade]

Ah, okay then, roger that. =P Though yeah, I tend to end fights if they go on too long, one way or another. xD So, yeah. Well, at least I have something to occupy myself in terms of thinking, for the moment. =P

Also, what are the limits on some things, like, say, would a handheld weapon that basically used your energy to 'generate' a blade be acceptable?(Or did some other weird thing that wasn't typical.)

ToD: =P

[Parugi]

Sure. It's a case by case basis, so I can't give a specific answer.

ToD: Suuuuurrrrre....

Edited by Parugi, Oct 16 2011 - 01:25 PM.

[BZP Blade]

Well, I guess in a way the weapons that Surge 1.0 has would be an example, in a way.

What about a weapon that could send a spinning 'wheel' of energ- ... Wait, that falls into the 'Rhotuka' category, doesn't it? =P Is there a Rhotuka of Just Plain Attacking? And is it possible a handheld weapon could launch one?(Like, a shield of sorts, but not nearly as huge as the ones the Hagah have.)

[Parugi]

A Rhotuka of Energy, probably, sure, yeah I guess would fall under that name...

To my understanding in the BIONICLE canon, as long as there is a Rhotuka launcher attached to it, anything can launch a Rhotuka. Likewise, anyone can create Rhotuka, they just can't do anything with it unless they have a launcher for it.
So yes.

[BZP Blade]

Sweet. I might have an idea for a third character maybe. And it's funny how that happens, given certain things in other RPGs. xD

But alright, sweet. That'll be cool. How large approximately, would the launchers have to be? Just curious there.

[Parugi]

I'm not picky, so however big. :3

[BZP Blade]

Sweet. >=D

Now, one other question, is there a set size that the Rhotuka need to be? Or, after they're generated, can they be any reasonable size? Just asking to make sure I don't accidentally do something wrong. =P

[Parugi]

That was never elaborated on in canon, to my knowledge. My guess would be that the size ratio would be the same for everyone, though they wouldn't necessarily all be the same size -- Axonn would create a bigger Rhotuka than a Toa would, for instance. So maybe.... 1/8 the size of the being?
So yeah, I guess it would vary.

[BZP Blade]

What about generating one that was more or less literally wheel sized? Would a Toa be able to do so at approximately 6 feet tall, or would it need to be smaller?(Take note, I don't know the actual set size of a Rhotuka, since I never got one; it might be exactly the size I'm hoping it to be, for instance. xD)

[Parugi]

Thaaat would probably be too big. They're pretty small in set form, hence why I said 1/8. But eh; again, it could vary. 6 feet would be too much; 2-3 feet would probably be fine, it would just take a lot of energy.

[Kal the Guardian]

The forums... are... ALIVE!!! Oh my goodness I have so much I have forgotten. I need to catch up. Obviously I'm glad that I checked to see if the forums were up. Sorry if I'm keeping anyone waiting. I don't even remember if I had chars in any other RPGs...
