Nato G Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't know why you have that feeling. Most players actually value their characters; I certainly do. Unless someone hires them, my Outsiders characters would stay out of a suicide op like that. So would most of my other characters, to be honest.

Timageness Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Don't get me wrong; I value mine too, and wouldn't have any of them go within a one-hundred foot radius of that, because if I did, I would have nothing to do with the rest of my day after they all died. I'm just saying that I'm expecting the possibility that the more... eccentric players might attempt something like that.

Stralix powder is an explosive much like black powder, but uhputting it in a gun isn't a very good idea unless it's the projectile from an air cannon. Otherwise it might go "boom" in your face. This is not why we don't have commonplace guns, we don't have them because it makes fighting "Who-shot-who" and overall more boring.or something.

Krayzikk Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Actually, a case could be made for the largest. In this iteration of the BZPRPG, at least. Only the Legacy and its predecessor the Followers might have rivaled it, and that's a debatable thing. Especially since the Followers didn't tussle with the ILF until after their decline began.

Eyru Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 its only suicide if you fail and as people say, if you don't try you've failed already therefore not joining the fight is suicide Katuko and BenLuke left, so nobody became leader.

Krayzikk Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It's less that the ILF flat out doesn't exist, and more that it's just a shadow. Katuko, who ran the ILF initially, left just after the Hive Battle. That was when the group started losing steam. BenLuke took over, but it still kept losing momentum. It isn't just that one player left, it's that most of them did. Going down that list, there are very few players that were part of the group that still take part in the game. It's unfortunate, but most (though not all) of that group is long gone. 1 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Ghosthands Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Gentlemen. Sorry I haven't posted in the Ta quest for a couple of days; it's a busy time of the week for me, plus I've got to start work on my lab report in the next couple of days, but I will try to get posts out tomorrow and over the weekend. Same goes for the Ko timeskip. Also, I'm seeing a lot about how Echelon's supposedly 'invincible'—he's not. He's not to be underestimated, certainly: he has mastery over an enhanced version of Magnetism, a currently unique mask, and a very impressive set of allies. But nobody's untouchable, if you plan carefully enough. The same goes for Ko-Koro. Taking it back isn't a suicide mission, if you have a good enough plan and sufficient resources to carry it out. You think the other five Koro are just going to sit around while Makuta-worshippers occupy Ko? The combined might of their militaries would be a force to be reckoned with. Now, it won't be as simple as that (for reasons that will soon be revealed in the timeskip post), but reclaiming the city is very much a possibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constructelf Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well, it looks like they sat around during the actual battle.We're only starting to have telegraphs; news doesn't travel all that fast. Even if Ko-Koro managed to send out a whole bunch of Kualsi messengers to the rest of the Koros, by the time they managed to mobilize their forces and arrive at Ko, the battle would have been in its late stages or possibly even have ended, with only the Kualsi and Kakama shock troops getting any action. So yeah. I really was expecting more of a drawn out fight though; how long did this battle take IC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krayzikk Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I just specifically remember Akiri Jaller refusing aid. Not much can actually be said otherwise, since I don't know about the others. ... You know, except that's not actually what he did. BZPTime was suspended for the duration of this event; the purpose of this was to prevent instant reinforcements to either side when such arrivals would be unreasonable. Ko-Koro sent out Kakama messengers for the dual purpose of informing the other villages and finding the Maru. Two of the Maru (Oreius and Korero) were found after being given directions by the Ta-Koro Guard Headquarters. They proceeded to the village, which they could do only because of Korero's mask. The only two villages that could feasibly have sent any aid would have been Onu and Ta. They're the two closest. Onu-Koro has no troops to send, both because they lack the numbers of the Ta-Koro Guard to begin with and because the vast majority of their PCs were (or are) on quests outside of the village. The Ta-Koro Guard has the numbers, and the resources, and would have sent aid but for one problem. They wouldn't get there in time. The few Guards with access to Kakamas or Kualsis could arrive, but even then their organization would take time. Especially since most of the Guard was already mobilized to handle the aftermath of the Piraka attack. Any other troops would arrive much too late to make any difference in the Ko-Koro battle, because the actual battle was not long at all. Simply the time needed for the Nightfall to fight through the resistance they encountered to reach the Citadel while the Brotherhood stormed the gates. A couple of hours, at most. It wasn't a refusal of aid (in fact Ta-Koro has been the only specifically cited location to take in refugees ) it was acknowledgement of the hard fact that there wasn't any aid to give. 3 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

The UltimoScorp Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 On the topic of taking Ko back, a PC raid party style attack would likely be the best bet. Doubly so if we get Koro guard backup. I could see it. I mean I could see the legacy fending them off with better positions, but u really think it would be feasible. 2 BZPRPG Profiles The Unofficial Guide to TBRPG Combat!
