shadow pridak money gang Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Heyyyyyyyy there, Mark Bearers! Guess what! You're...all about to die.Now that I have your attention, let me enlighten you: your characters will not die in seven days, as long as you play them right. Let me explain: when you make your IC in which you receive the Timestamps, your Mark goes juggernaut. Your char will receive a temporary high and strength boost unlike anything they've ever experienced, Mark or no Mark, and since it's unable to be satiated like that ever again, it triggers a death clock. As of now, your chars have a week to live as their Mark slowly shuts down and dies, followed shortly by, well...your chars.Unless.The clocks can be replenished. Consistent fueling of the Marks can regenerate the clock, and, if you feel so inclined, you can even attack other Bearers for their time. Note, however, that this latter option does not come without risks: to take another Bearer's time, you'll need to actually knock them unconscious and take it, kind of like foreign tech, so that's not advisable unless you're really ready to throw down. There will be a couple things that I'll add on to this later, but for now, just enjoy. And don't forget: as of now, your chars have a week to live. They will act differently. Treat this as the char dev that it is.-Teezy ＳＡＹ ＩＴ ＯＮＥ ＭＯＲＥ ＴＩＭＥ ＴＥＬＬ ＭＥ ＷＨＡＴ ＩＳ ＯＮ ＹＯＵＲ ＭＩＮＤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuju Metru Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) In my opinion, this shall be rather fun with the Mark Bearers. But, also, somewhat annoying.In other news, Heuani shall henceforth be known as Ol' Gregg.Sure, you can call Heuani that, if it tickles you. In return, he'll tickle your favorite character with a sword... and probably get a little bit carried away with the game.I like this MB face off idea. It's a good initiation to move the stagnant plot somewhere, and it's a downright cutthroat concept - right up my alley. MB players though, be warned: you need to remember that, desperate though your characters' circumstances now are, any sort of GMing or other unrealistic play used to stay alive won't be tolerated. You have to keep playing within the confines of realism to escape this fate.EDIT: Wow, Tuck, same brainwave, huh? Yeah, everybody, TWO staffers are reminding you to play fair. So do it.

Contempt is a rather common emotion that people feel for Praggos, so he should be alright on that score.If not, he's always got the ability to steal time from others if he puts his mind to it.EDIT: I assume you know what that's from, Nuju, in that case?

I hope.Yeah, I'm going to try to have Agzinel stay away from the other Bearers so he doesn't get his time stolen. He'll probably stay close to Ema- after all, she's a big source of Affection.

Katuko Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I know not who these ILS people are, but if this group is as big as people are claiming, then I am all for making this battle happen.This is the Island Liberation Squad. This is the village we have built at Lake Pala.This is a wiki article with the team's history. The latter parts are not as detailed as the former, but it should be enough to tell you what you need to know.Hopefully AuRon will return to advance the hostage plot soon, by the way, so that the ILS doesn't stay frozen (pun intended) while the Makuta-supporters gather forces. The current action in Le-Wahi seems to have brought in at least one new member, though, and if Nuju allows us to make progress on the Parakuka plot by dissecting one of the beings that was caught, then we might gather more support by helping the Turaga.Speaking of which: Vezok's Friend, your characters came there to see them, right? They are of course free to do so now that the battle has ended. Ask Nuju to RP their responses if you want conversation.EDIT: I like how both of Emzee's latest news revolve around this group.
