BZPRPG News and Discussion

[- JL -]

Anxilia are, in a sense, created by Red Star lightning. I know of a character who wears an Anxilia who (After staff approval) also used it to go from matoran to Toa.

 

In any case, I'm sure that simply asking Staff would suffice in terms of what direction we go. As for that, we can get Toa of Awesome to do that, since he's kinda already done it.

Mata-Nui Daily

• [*]

Onu-Matoran Company Visits Ga-Koro: Early this morning a traveling band of Onu-Matoran, flanked by members of the Ussalry, visited Akiri Hahli for a meeting. They are currently in conference. What could they be discussing? We hope to get the scoop when they're finished.

 

How does the Mata Nui Daily work in-universe? Is it a pre-installed app on all iStones or something, or...?Also, I'm trying to decide whether to have my first char appear in Ta-koro, Ga-koro, or Po-koro. Decisions, decisions...

[25K Now!]

I think you buy it from your local newsagency.

 

And what does your character do?

[NorikSigma]

@JL Okay, so ToA can PM NM. And I think you mean Reyna, right?@Flipz well I hear Po-Koro has stuff going on, Ga-Koro was messed up by some event I am unsure off, and it's over, probably.

Yeah, I've seen in-game usage by staff of the Mata Nui daily, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Of course, you'd have to factor in the fact that news doesn't appear instantly.

 

As for where to pop up, I suggest Ga-Koro, because there is a beach you can play in.

 

Norik, no, I don't mean Reyna; she's the Anxilia. I'm talking about every single Toa who has an Anxilia.

[Toatapio Nuva]

Soon our heroic group of Toa of Awesomeness, Norik, JL and myself will solve the riddle and bring this Bzprpg arc to an end go drifting aimlessly in the sea and die.

[Geardirector]

Yeah, here's a big question. Would everyone be okay with it if we toppled the lighthouse in Xa-Koro?

[EmperorWhenua]

No. Why would you want to do that? That's my lighthouse.

 

Also, the MN Daily is the in-game variant of a newpaper. Once Emzee posts news here it's considered general knowledge in the game. BZPRPG News/Updates are OOC only.

[Geardirector]

You getting that, Toatapio?

[Toatapio Nuva]

Yep, just edited. I hope it's ok if we just chip a small portion of the balcony?

[EmperorWhenua]

My... my lighthouse...

 

That balcony is where Aurelia and Ambages fondled. :(

[NorikSigma]

Precisely why it's fun to destroy.And Ambages. Baddy.

[Toatapio Nuva]

*sigh*

 

I'll edit it then.

 

[EmperorWhenua]

And Ambages. Baddy.

Fun fact: Ambages has done nothing evil to anyone yet this season. Maybe he's actually a good guy in disguise? What if I was fooling y'all by playing the same trick on opposing characters?

[shadow pridak money gang]

Toppling the lighthouse is just such a troll move.

We're NOT doing it, don't worry. Besides, it was Toatapio's fault

Pwned!

 

Nothing to see at the Xa-Koro lighthouse people, move along.

Secret-trader. He deals in information, and controlling the flow of said information, for a price.EDIT: What's the general "elemental rock-paper-scissors" weakness for gravity? I can't think of it off the top of my head, and it's the last thing I need for Nalita's profile. Edited June 14, 2013 by Flipz

[Krayzikk]

Gravity doesn't really have an elemental rock paper scissors weakness.

[otter]

Why do we even include the Ro-Sham-Bo weaknesses

 

why not come up with something that pertains to the character specifically rather than everybody with that element

 

I mean yes it gets hard sometimes but stilleverybody knows those simple weaknesses

 

and this isn't pokemon

[Geardirector]

This, this so much.

[sunflower]

EDIT: What's the general "elemental rock-paper-scissors" weakness for gravity? I can't think of it off the top of my head, and it's the last thing I need for Nalita's profile.

 

Now this is my kind of question.

 

As it is, Gravity is a force-based elemental power (along with Magnetism), and although it doesn't suffer from Magnetism's weakness of only effecting certain things, Gravity in itself has no physical form. Because of this, it has little defensive value against things such as fireballs or bolts of lightning. E.g., while a Toa of Stone or Iron may easily create a wall of their element to block said fireball, a Toa of Gravity would have to rely on other means to defend against it. While this doesn't apply to physical projectiles, it is one of the more noticeable weaknesses for using Gravity in an elemental combat-based situation.

 

Other than that, there generally isn't any "elemental rock-paper-scissors" here. All elements are equally effective as a whole.

 

Also what good Mr. Blokfase said.

[Relapse]

Yeah, here's a big question. Would everyone be okay with it if we toppled the lighthouse in Xa-Koro?

Certainly not. It would be pointless and it would detract from further plots in the ruins.

[ToaKapura1234]

Wait till Ambages is inside to topple it.

[EmperorWhenua]

You act as though you want to see Ambages killed and that makes me sad.

[Geardirector]

Ugh, seriously?

 

We had already decided NOT to topple it. We got the message, so just leave, would you please?

[shadow pridak money gang]

No need to catch feels, anyone.

You wanted an answer, I gave you one.

Yeah, but you were too late, EW already made it pretty clear to us.

[otter]

He may not have noticed, and that's still no reason to have the reaction you did.

 

Apologize.

[Geardirector]

Sorry man, really, I'm just a little tired right now.

Since when did writing skill turn into winning by rock paper scissors?

[ToaKapura1234]

Since it became the Pokémon RPG. Okay, I'm confused. BZP's auto correct thinks Bionicle is a typo but automatically puts the thingy above the e in Pokémon.

Kiddo, you are not the one to criticize belief in elemental superiority.

[otter]

In the interest of preserving the (mostly) fight free nature of the discussion topic so far, I think I'm going to nip this in the bud before it has the chance to blossom into anything bad. This is a case where it will be better to take the snark and possible argument to PM, Roi du Pas Isles and comrade JL.

That sounds like a character you'd throw in Ga.

[ToaKapura1234]

So what's the general consensus on which player has been playing the strictest Akiri? I don't want to criticize, I need to know for plot reasons.

Edited June 15, 2013 by ToaKapura1234

[otter]

I don't see what the player has to do with it for plot reasons. How about, instead, which Akiri has been seen as the strictest? =PUnless I'm all wrong and this isn't for your kill-all-akiri version of Triple A.

Edited June 15, 2013 by Ilyusha Blokfase

Hmm... I would maybe have to say Hahli, simply because she's sentenced a matoran to death.
