The pronunciation you have is fine.

Undecided on Article 78. I'm not sure that wind could be used to knock out anybody unless the target's thrown against a wall or something pushed by the wind hits the target, so I'm not sure what I say to this one.

Theoretically, one could increase the air pressure around a target to cause immobilization, provided the target doesn't pass out first. Or the wind could strike a nerve center or the equivalent, but that would require the user knowing where to strike and how hard.

The description given in the article in question seems to be more like the second one - it specifically states that the winds strike the target. But in the case of the second one, my earlier question still stands - why bring wind into this at all? It would be simpler to make the power just render them paralyzed; why do you need wind to do that?

Off-Topic: "Cheeto"? "Approval"? Seems more like a "Dorito" to me. Hmm, wonder if it's "Cool Ranch"?

On-Topic: It is my understanding that the Wind is simply the delivery mechanism and that the Tranquilizing Energy comes from the Kanohi, not from the Wind itself, however we'll still have to hear from Koji to ultimately clarify this.

Koji you can't fool me I know where Article 78 came from. It was the Melforce form of the Decaforce Sword from Rave Master(Thank you Sci-Fi Animonday for refreshing my memory) When I read the article it seemed ver familiar but when I was watching Sci-Fi and saw Rave Master was on I was like "Holy Crud! Its the power of the Decaforce sword!"

Very clever my friend. I hope that is actually where you got the inspiration because I dont want to be the only one to remember that show, and because the two powers are so similar that its scary.

I miss that anime so much. It had great potential.

*Erebus Nuva switches his Zaethos Nuva for the Kakama Nuva, runs at supersonic speed and steals staffs from Ballom, Kohila and Ausar* Don't make me seperate you kids or I'll get Mistress Helryx after you. Ballom your still a wanted Toa so behave, I won't hesitate to send you to the pit even though we are on neutral ground. Kohila and Ausar I really don't want to have to fight a Toa of Spirits and Toa of Rahi Control unless I have to. You can have your toys back if you can play nice.

Turaga, Erebuus, they are turaga. look at the membership roster. so thats three turaga and a toa of rahi control if you dont give them there staffs back now,

hurry up tarth and vote on article 50 so i can tell The toa team to stop bullying the turaga

If they can play nice they get their toys back.

Erebus has Spoken

Erebus has Spoken

Come on now, give Kohila back his "Staff of Dorito".

What? Respect my decision, which is soo lenient of me, and actually respond to my PM. Or that article will just be reopened.

EDIT- That's it. If I don't have a PM in my inbox by morning, I'll just have this reopened.

Ok, allow me to try to clear something up.

74: simply armor of stone. Weighs down the user, but provides defense. Double edged sword really.

78: the wind acts as a decoy in a way. Its a weak blow, so the enemy sees it, unlikely they'll try to dodge. The wind carries the power of paralysis.

Sorry, I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying.

Sorry Ausar I just really can't say aye to Article 77

Em same for Article 73

Sorry, I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying.

If you're fighting a Toa and you see a small gust, and say flames on your sides, you'll go through the wind, not fire. The wind carries the energy of tranqualization. It doesn't appear as a threat, but used tactically, it can stop your opponent, and then, kill him/her.

If you're fighting a Toa and you see a small gust, and say flames on your sides, you'll go through the wind, not fire. The wind carries the energy of tranquilization. It doesn't appear as a threat, but used tactically, it can stop your opponent, and then, kill him/her.

Or the user simply tranquilizes the opponent from a distance without giving the opponent a chance to counter or dodge and avoids any conflict.

Utilizing the wind to carry the power makes it more wide-spread and able to affect multiple targets. It can't be dodged and it can't be blocked. Any user would never need to fight or struggle against any opponent ever again. And that makes it too powerful in my opinion.

But as it spreads it weakens.

But the wind part was because it was originally made for use by a Toa of Air in an epic of mine.

I need more time to vote Ausar, my online code is being interrupted, and I need a week to fix it or my computer may go kaput. WORD is still functioning, but not at its best, it took me maybe a half of an hour to get this right!

Extension granted and Voting Deadline modified accordingly.

I understand that htere has been some confusion about Article 73, my Mask of Information.

It does not access files from a kio-radius, not a chance. It merely records and recalls information that the wearer desires. It does not have any relationship to a supercomputer, I said to Ausar that it was like a cimputer, but only the really old black-screen-green-font kind of computer. Basically, it's like a second brain without the impulse to act.

For example, it has stored information on the Guardian, a Rahi in my own Epic, and Glacier Carvers. However, as the files become unused, they are *ahem* deleted.

I'm sorry for the confusion.

-Em

Well Em, there seems to be some confusion in your last comment as well.

First, the proposal doesn't say anything about a one kio radius, it's a one square kio area, just as you requested, which translates into a little over a one-half kio radius.

Secondly, I never mentioned the specific word "computer", I simply pointed out that even very small data files (take for instance a 20 second video clip) are written as extremely complex coding and could require 350 MB or more of space in a "data storage device". In other words, most files are obviously far too complicated to memorize even after they've been scanned or retrieved.

Ah... My bad on the measurement. But it's a moot point anyway (See below clarification.)

And you said that, "...there are Kanohi known as Rextou (RECKS-too), the Great Mask of Information, which grant the user the ability to scan for and then retrieve technological data files that are stored anywhere within a one square kio area of the user." That is false.

People have called it a "Hacker mask" when it is not in any way a hacker mask. It acts much like a computer in the way that it can create and store file-like information and recall it, and it can only record what has been seen and/or thought. It makes files, pulls up files, but that's it. It cannot access any information that the user has not seen and recorded. Again, it is like a second brain without acting impulses.

I hope I did not sound incredably crabby or confusing, and I would like all of you to reconsider your 'Nay's on Article 73 before it is too late. Please.

My main problem is the fact that utilizing the wind makes the power unavoidable. You can't dodge the wind.

To be fully honest, entwining the power with the wind seems to be more for theatrics than any practical purpose. Eye beams or even physical contact from the user are some simpler, more practical ways to that would make me support the Article.

Based on what you're saying, the Rextou sounds more like a Mask of Memory Recall. Why would it need to exist when you, the author, could simply have the character remember what you need he or she to remember? Maybe said character has a photographic memory or something. And what was the purpose of setting a range limit if the mask could only recall what the wearer already knows?

A Mask of Information would most likely make the user a walking encyclopedia, granting the user knowledge of everything the user needs to know and then saying it out loud. Of course, it would have to constantly be on a low power so the user blurts out random facts about anything and everything at anytime spontaneously.(If you couldn't tell, I'd support this version just for its possible entertainment value. )

Hey Talvak, I have a question about your argument against Article 78:

Also, I received a PM back from Em that will be used for an Article 73a, should his current proposal fail, although I still don't feel comfortable with the idea that a mask can be a data storage device.

A Toa of Air is not too powerful because a gust of wind is just that, a gust of wind. If a Toa of Air pins you against a wall with a cyclone, all you're getting hit by is air. (And what ever the cyclone picks up, but that's not my point.) If a Kanohi Wit user pins you with a cyclone, you're going to get paralyzed. And unless you have some kind of mental powers, you are helpless. That is why I do not support using the wind to carry the power. Even my Kanohi Rethus, with its absolutely horrifying power, could be fought against.

Given Koji's examples, he plans to have the user, a Toa, use the mask to kill virtually helpless opponents. If that's not against the Toa Code I don't know what is. Not to mention, the fact that there's no point in tranquilizing then killing someone, except to get an easy kill. Tranquilization is normally used for capture purposes.
