BZPRPG News and Discussion

[NorikSigma]

Well, I can edit the post and say he made his way there. Then Syvra pops up and slays him.

 

No, you're going to have to fight for his death!

 

OK seriously, I edited it.

Slaying? Come now that is far to messy of a word.. I prefer 'strongly convincing them to take a dirt nap*

But you didn't have to edit the post yet i am touched that you did

[NorikSigma]

Nah it's okay, I wanted the mini-quest to be a little more lively.

[Silvan Haven]

In response to Just Norik's question in Ta-wahi.

 

 

it was just past noon, so bartenders were finally dropping all pretense of reluctance to sell alcohol to the perpetually-plastered population of Ta-Koro

 

Tyler places the attack as taking place in the afternoon. The Questing party gathered in the morning, you would have all been gone by now.

 

BZTime strikes again.

Gah, the evil that is BZPTime.

 

Unless the quest group was waiting for the others to turn up all the way to afternoon...

 

But Zauk would never do that, right?

[- JL -]

Right.

 

Announcement(ish), for those who decide to read this post. I've got IGCSE's, and I'm also a very lazy person, and mixing a large number of exams together with an idiot who honestly needs to revise some more is a mixture that's either gonna come out with a miracle or go out with a bang. Or something.

 

Aaaanyways, what this means (Although lets be honest, my impact on the game at this moment is pretty low, and I'm due in a few posts for a few characters) is that my activity is gonna go to just about nothing around here, (:3 If it was anything before) at least until the end of June, when exam leave + no more exams means funstuff happens.

 

Until then, cya.

 

(Feel free to bunny my character(s) on the Inika as well. Try to keep him true to his character too.)

[NorikSigma]

Good luck for your exams! Don't worry we'll keep your character(s) (mostly) safe.

The Ta-Koro group is still operating in the morning, of what I assume is the day of all the craziness that is happening. So, before current events in Ta-Wahi involving the Piraka. They're going to get moving soon, so it's not a problem.

[BBBBalta]

Is the Cultured Gentry still a thing?

[Ghosthands]

Is the Cultured Gentry still a thing?

 

A thing, yes. Active in any way, no.

[EmperorWhenua]

Oh yeah. I keep meaning to make hem relevant again and forget, though for all intents and purposes they do exist and anyone can apply to become a member (retroactively, if you'd like).

 

If anyone has ideas they'd like to explore with the Gentry, feel free to contact me and we can chat about them!

[The Nold]

Right.

So that makes, what, a quarter of the crew NPCs for the time being? We should really get active again, by the way. I'm a bit tied up for the next week because of a debate, a research paper, and some other scattered stuff; then I've got a trip to DC the week after next, but next week should be more or less free.

 

Also, someone in Kentoku besides me actually metioned Clan Mamoru. I feel so happy now.

That was such an amazingly beautiful post to read. Great work, you guys.

 

I have quite the soft spot for well-crafted romance... *brushes away tear*

Thanks, man. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Mr. Lightning Bolt]

If this has been answered before me, forgive me, but 1) are Satchels/Bags/Backpacks allowed and 2) What's the maximum size for them if they are?

[Geardirector]

1) Absolutely, within reason given the tech level on the island; leather, animal (rahi) hide, wool etc.

 

2) There isn't really a limit for size, just use whatever size can fit all or most that your character can reasonably carry

 

And welcome to the BZPRPG, Toa_of_Regret

[Ghosthands]

Yep, what Gear said.

 

Just to give you a little context, Toa_of_Regret, in the BZPRPG we tend to have a lot more realism and real-world influences than Bionicle canon did. Our characters are (generally speaking) much closer to humans than those in canon were. Some, for example, even wear items of clothing. Things like bags, belts and backpacks are de rigeur around here - how else are you going to carry all that adventuring kit?

[Mr. House]

Apologies to all for recent inactivity. School, basement flooding and other such concerns have and will make my activity sparse for a while.

 

Come summer (Minus June) I'll pick it up.

[Hitoshura]

DId I miss anything in the past 4-5 days I was off the site?

[Mr. Lightning Bolt]

Yep, what Gear said.

Thanks. heh. By the way, how long does it take to usually be noticed by other players(assuming they're not all caught up in their own dialogue moments and ignore me), and who controls NPCs? Say if my character went to Ono-Koro and was halted by a Patrolling Ussal Guard or something along those lines?

[Ghosthands]

First question: If you've made it clear that you're interacting with them, and they're an active player, it shouldn't take more than 24 hours for them to post a response.

 

Second question: Depends entirely on where the NPC is located. In most Koro, NPCs are controlled by the local Akiri player. In some cases, Onu being one such, these players hand over control of their village military to another player. Again, if you make your attempt to interact clear (for example, putting the character's name in bold) they will probably take notice of you.

 

By the way, I read your post in Le - be advised that people RPing in a topic can be anywhere in that Wahi, and it's not their responsibility to make it clear in every post exactly where they are and who they're talking to. I recommend using the search function to read back a few of their posts - it's most likely that they will have stated these things in an earlier one.

Thanks, and I apologize about that one. I did indeed use the search function, and I noticed how far back the player was speaking, but I still couldn't derive very much context.

[Ghosthands]

No worries, you're new around here

 

If in doubt, of course, you can always send the relevant player a PM (private message).

Ok. I edited the "OOC" out of the post in question. I guess I'll have to be more patient from now on!

[Light]

Unless that player is me or Kray Kray, our inboxes are full XD

 

Welcome to the game! If you need anything, don't hesitate to... Uh..........

 

Yeah, if you need me just leave a message on my profile.

[Constructelf]

Welcome to the game, Mr. Lightning Bolt.

 

On an unrelated note, any First Sons wanna play Paero? I know Kughii's away, but at least we can get all the people ready for one he comes back.

[The Nold]

Maybe, but as I mentioned in my last post I'll be a little bit tied up until at least Monday.

 

[NorikSigma]

Is it ok that I read your voices in the same voice as the Prime Minister from the beginning of Metal Gear Rising since I changed my name?

Who knows, he might be...

 

Anyway, welcome to the game.

[NorikSigma]

No one needs to know my real identity.

 

Either way, enjoy your stay.

Metal Gear! Big Boss!

 

(Also hi new guy, read the rules turns out they help a lot, etc.)

[soularin]

I apologize for those waiting on a post. I've been super pressed with homework today, and it'll probably be the same tomorrow. However, I will try my best to get back to all of you ASAP. I want to take some time to actually write out some non-one liner posts.

I have been, sometimes it takes some reinforcement. Thanks.

[Aurora the cat]

Hi guys. I guess I am going to try to come back to bzprpg with a clean slate.

 

Did I miss anything?

[Hitoshura]

Doubt it. Nothing seems to happen these days.

[Ghosthands]

Actually, in the last few weeks, stuff has started to happen

 

Examples of interesting stuff going on right now:

• Tyler has reinstated the old tradition of Staff Quests - currently happening in Po-Wahi
• Ta-Koro is under attack by the Piraka
• Kentoku's elite are preparing for Yumiwa's party
• Gravity is leading a player-run quest after an escaped crime lord

[Aurora the cat]

Ta-Koro is under attack by the Piraka

Yes.

 

yyyyyeeeeesssss.....

[NorikSigma]

Yeah the past two weeks were eventful.

 

Am I reading this right? Ronkshou joining the Sentinels?
