[Geardirector]

Same here, I'm assuming that there were someone who mimicked the Faxon or the Mask of Emulation

[Ghosthands]

Oh, I neglected to mention - hats off to Lorax once again for an excellent set of statistical data! Also, nice to see Lesterin getting their own table

Well deserved indeed, Lesterin are awesome

[Mr. House]

Brotherhood of Ak'rei'an plot starts tomorrow. Two founding player slots still open.

 

If you wish to join, or want to have an existing character kidnapped into the group, please PM me.

Speaking of which, Crystal Lesterin have now been added. Check out the wiki for more information!

[Mr. Coffee]

...Little has been revealed about Lesterin culture. However, it is known that they live in villages...

 

this is interesting, has there ever been one?

[Visaru]

I'm really curious about what ways the Mahiki was abused. I thought it was fairly straight-forward: creating visual illusions and shapeshifting the user to a limited degree. It strikes me as one of the masks that has an interesting application in roleplaying rather than just in combat.

The biggest misuse was literal shapeshifting- people would turn into a shark and get better at swimming, or turn into a Gadunka and be practically invisible. It was made clear in N&D that it could only put illusions around you, but people continued to shapeshift with it.

[Lara White]

Whether or not the Great Mahiki (as opposed to the Turaga version) could actually cause shapeshifting has, in fact, been a point of some debate in certain circles.

 

[The Lonesome Wanderer]

Say, whatever happened to the Mystix? (I know they haven't been reapproved, but they all but vanished torwards the end of the last arc.)

Aclaraung led what few were left into the mountains so that they didn't have to deal with the Matoran and their ilk any longer.

Wow, quite a coincidence, that first trait was exactly what I was expecting from them.

[The Lorax]

It makes sense when they're now on the official species list, and there are more of then than turaga or parakuka. And you're welcome.

 

 

In any case, we should put this is just an awesome job you've done Lorax, and I think you've now self-applied yourself to the responsibility of doing this again sometime later this year. Congrats!

the responsibility of doing this again sometime later this year. Congrats!

responsibility

 

I do this for fun and because it is interesting, not because I have to. That would take the fun out of it. I might do another one, but probably not for a long time yet.

Not on Mata Nui. I'll be revealing more of Lohkar's backstory this arc, and with it some more about the Lesterin as a society...stay tuned

[BenLuke]

For the three or people that'll actually care:

 

Feongulf is back.

More information to come soon.

...*sigh* Why couldn't people just get the point that Mahiki creates ILLUSIONS, not ACTUAL objects/states/etc. It makes me sad knowing that this would happen...

[Canis Lycaon]

Wait... Sisen's title says he is BZPRPG Staff. Is he?

Edited May 29, 2013 by Canis Lupus

[BenLuke]

Nominally yes, but he hasn't been consistently active enough lately to really do much I'm afraid.

[EmperorWhenua]

That would be Sisen, not Spink.

 

Sisen was staff for the last arc but didn't have the time to do anything for/in the game, so he was removed from active service. He's still forum staff, though.

Edited May 29, 2013 by EmperorWhenua

[Dapper-Sama]

I need at least somebody to interact with at least one of my active characters. Any takers?

[The Lonesome Wanderer]

Where are they?

[Eyru]

While we're on the subject of masks and the like, why has no-one bothered to come up with names for the masks of Rebounding, Healing and Sensory Aptitude...?

 

Personally, my unofficial name for the Mask of Healing is the Kanohi Sana, sana being the Latin word for heal.

[Geardirector]

I actually rather like that... Kanohi Sana. Yeah, I think I'll use that.

[Dapper-Sama]

Where are they?

Ta-, Onu- and Le-Wahis. The one in Le is a shopkeeper, though.

[They]

I'm adopting sana as well.

[Ghosthands]

I agree with the use of 'Sana'. Although normally I dislike the use of Latin words in Bionicle, I like it in this case because the word's simple enough that it doesn't sound out of place, and the softness of it invokes the gentleness of healing.

 

Good job

[Sharkictus]

Because, Shark, people last arc ended up abusing the illusion power of the mask. This is one of the few instances where Nuju actually argued ME down ironically enough. There was too much stretching, clarifying, and otherwise headaches with people using it that I was forced to concede the point and due to misuse this mask was taken away from the players. Yes, there were many good players who used it properly, but there were enough that didn't, so now nobody can use it.

 

Let that be a lesson to everyone.

 

I guess I can understand that. There goes any dancing to Final Countdown and doing Illusions with the Mask though.

 

I do hope next arc, then, that you guys just make rules and limits for all masks and allow as much as possible into the game.

 

 

 

I don't like giving names for unamed masks...most because I, and other players do use BS01 to consult for Mask names, because I can't remember them all...and if you make up a name, and play saying "Loseel used her Sana", it makes it a bit annoying when I look it up and can't find it.

[Ghosthands]

Ever use the BZPRPG Wiki, Shark? If it helps, I can put any custom mask names on there for your (and everyone else's) benefit.

[EmperorWhenua]

I agree with the use of 'Sana'. Although normally I dislike the use of Latin words in Bionicle, I like it in this case because the word's simple enough that it doesn't sound out of place, and the softness of it invokes the gentleness of healing.

Did I ever mention that 'Echelon' is not his real name, but one he took to reflect his ambitions for power?

 

And now, let's not start throwing fruit about who's got an original name or not. <cough>Stannis<cough> Because that would be unseemly.

Is anyone else thinking we need a Hungry, Hungry Games 2013 edition? Perhaps starring Lorax?

In a word? No.

 

In another word? Why Lorax in particular?

Wrooooong topic. You may be looking for Games & Trivia.

[Makuta of Time]

Lieutenant, I have replied to your character in Ta-Wahi.

[25K Now!]

...Except, y'know, that was here as it was. xP

It was a really strange event.

Actually, this is as close to the correct topic as it gets. The Hungry Hungry Games was...kind of a weird one-off event Tuck pulled for Vorex's birthday. You can read about it on the Wiki...at your peril

[Franco]

Lieutenant, I have replied to your character in Ta-Wahi.

For future reference, you may direct all messages to one player (like the above) to PM. Posts referencing but one player in the Discussion topic are illegitimate and ill-advised, as they clutter the topic with messages irrelevant to the playerbase at large.

[ToaKapura1234]

Lorax just has a lot of characters, I dunno. Wouldn't have to be him. So the general consensus on ever doing that again is no, then?, as in no one but me would want that?
