Mafia: Damage Control Heat, alien and oppressive, permeated the Isle of Botalnu. The turquoise sky, so often a welcome sight, seemed unwelcoming, a willing party in the act of smothering the island. The villagers, their pistons pumping strenuously, struggled to dig a hole that they might trap one of the increasingly elusive and hostile Rahi. Food was not yet scarce, but the labor required to obtain it had never been so hard. Nature was out of joint, that was unquestionable. The weather wildly fluctuated, tremors were common, the beasts seemed to fear everything, the stars (when they appeared at all) were erratic in their movements, and, perhaps most disturbingly, the Shamans' powers were waning. Some held that Haipori Nui was angry at his people, that he had forsaken them. Not that they could offer any helpful ideas. As the villagers dug, something glinted in the foliage. They all saw it, tried to ignore it, tried to concentrate on their job, but to no avail. Its presence there was quite out of the ordinary, and yet it was eerily familiar. They stopped their task, and as one they moved to uncover it. So they did, and horror spread over them. The shining object was a mask, broken in two. Near it, half buried in the sand, was the savaged body of one of their own. He had been a cripple and a recluse, and thus his absence had gone unnoticed. Someone had taken advantage of that. Indeed, no Rahi had killed him. The villagers knew the marks of the beasts, but these were something new. The Amber Shaman's prediction had been right, it seemed. Death was coming to Botalnu. Known roles: The village is blessed with the presence of four Shamans, beings of marvelous abilities. As if in connection to the upheaval in nature, their powers are not what their once were. Emerald Shaman: This gifted individual possesses the ability to influence the weather, by way of controlling the temperature. Sapphire Shaman: This valuable being can protect himself or others from harm. At the moment, he can only protect one person a night, and only from bodily harm or extreme heat. Onyx Shaman: This one has power over life and death. His abilities are now limited to either ending or restoring the life of a villager, every two nights. Amber Shaman: This Shaman is gifted with the power of divination. Now, he can only either determine the role of one player or determine the approaching weather each night Killers: Before the decline of his powers, the Amber Shaman foretold the affliction of the village by those who valued not the lives of the villagers. He did so mere hours before the first signs of natural upheaval, and, unusually, fainted before he could elaborate on his message. When he awoke, his memory of the vision was dim. All he knew was that they were not all necessarily allied and that they would be, or would appear to be, inhabitants of the village. Rules: Standard BZPower rules apply. Please keep in mind that this means no treachery. Each Night lasts Twenty-Four hours, as does each Day. Votes can be switched no more than twice. The weather has seven levels-extreme cold, miserable cold, cold, temperate, hot, miserable heat, and extreme heat. Miserable weather has a 25% chance of delaying any activity. Extreme weather has a 50% chance of doing so. It also has a 1-in-3 chance of killing a villager. The Emerald Shaman acts during the Day. Weather lasts for one night and one day before changing (if it does change.) Twists: There are several of these, so be on your guard.

I have seen in many of the Kanohi canonization topics arguments for and against the Mask of Rahi Control to be included in the list for potential Kanohi. As suggested by bonesiii here, in this topic we will discuss and come up with an argument that we can present to Greg Farshtey on LMB. I also want to include some quick-links from BS01 for people that want to be a part of this debate: Kanohi DragonMask of Rahi ControlDwellers In DarknessKualus I personally think it would be fine that one of them has the mask, since it's described to work better on insects and that some Rahi have the willpower to resist control, evidence of this seems to be shown in Dwellers In Darkness, since there's no mention of Kualus using the mask during the Godzilla Kanohi Dragon & Tahtorak situation. Happy debating!

BZPower has long made use a feature called 'flood control' to lower the stress on our server. There are currently two types of flood control in use: Search flood controlPost flood controlSearch flood control is the more important one - it slows down how long you have to wait in between searches. When you do a search on BZPower, it has to look at nearly every entry in the database to see if there's a match. If you can do a lot of searches back-to-back, it results in a lot of queries searching for a lot of stuff. If multiple people are doing that at the same time it could in theory bog down the server and make it slower for everyone. Post flood control controls how long you wait in between making new posts. Making a post means you need to write all the information, who you are, when you're posting, where you're posting, your actual post, etc... to the database. This takes some time since writing to the database takes longer than reading from it (but not as long as searching). If there was no delay between posts and many members were active at the same time, there could be errors if two posts tried to be written at the exact same time. With all that in mind, let us know what you think about the current settings for flood control on BZPower and what you think makes sense given our current level of activity.

Hello, citizens of Metru Nui! This is your friendly leader, Turaga Dume, writing out a new Public Service Announcement to inform you of some new laws that will help to make your life better! Our first new law is Hand Control! We in the Metru Nui Justice System have noticed that crimes involving hands have risen at an astonishing rate in the last 1000 years, and have decided that the best course of action is to make a law banning the use of hands. We figure that by making a new law, the people who were already breaking laws will stop breaking laws because of the specific effects of this new law. Please note that if you are caught in possession of hands at any time from now on, the Vahki will arrest you on the spot. The next new law is No Breaks, which states that any Matoran in the educational system that is caught with anything slightly resembling a weapon or harmful substance will be tasered by Vahki immediately, and then thrown off a cliff for a couple of days. This law works with the idea that anyone being educated that is caught with any of these items will most likely murder somebody in the future. Banned items include bricks, water guns, wood, mechanical pencils, laser pointers, and the aforementioned hands. Another new law is the banning of religions, politics, and opinions. Studies show that Matoran that have any of these things in their lives may offend someone at some point. Mata Nui help us if someone becomes offended! Any Matoran caught violating this law will be shot 27 times at point blank range with the new machine guns that have been installed into every Vahki out there. The last new law is the banning of any personality whatsoever. Leading scientists have pointed out that having a personality is the leading cause of offending people. Having any little quirks, such as using Non-Matoran phrases, is strictly prohibited. Having a personality is punishable by banishment from Metru Nui, and then being thrown in jail in the place that you were banished to. These new laws will help ensure the safety of BZPo-I mean, the United Sta-I mean, Metru Nui. Here's looking to a bright future for the city! XOXOXO ~Turaga Dume. --------------------------------- Makuta, disguised as Turaga Dume, sat on his chair, looking down at the city of Metru Nui. "I can't believe those stupid Matoran fell for that!" He laughed. "This makes conquering Metru Nui MUCH easier! HA HA HA!" --------------------------------- End. --------------------------------- Author's Notes: Seriously, people in charge? Seriously?

Any guesses where I got the inspiration from? :PBasically, which of the Bionicle elements would you not want to control, if any? Or what ones would be least effective in assisting you with your daily life or in a fight?

Alright, I've always wondered: How far does a Toa's elemental power go? For an example, a toa of magnetism controls electromagnetism. Does this mean a toa of lightning can theoretically control magnetism, or a toa of magnetism lightning?-BaneEdit: Sorry about the topic spelling. I'm facepalming right now
