Eyru Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 So... what exactly happens when next year's story starts? Do we just keep going, business as usual, or is there some kind of big change that occurs? After this year ends, I believe all of this year's game topics will be closed, and new ones will be posted, to keep new players from getting confused. The topics are so big and unwieldy now anyway; they're due for a change over. The new topics that will be posted will explain any changes (if any) that have occurred in the region. These will include changes due to player-caused events, as well as changes due to the official story. Keep in mind that we don't know how big of a time gap there will be between this year's story and next year's; there could be no gap, a month-long gap, or even a year-long gap. The new game topics will explain everything. Basically, we don't know how much is going to change. Only the staff do, and they're not telling.

This isn't like Lightning, where we had no prefix to begin with. I wouldn't really care what we do. I think I'm going to stick with Pa-Matoran for now, unless enough people decide to start using Su-Matoran instead.

sunflower Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I will use Su-Matoran. Just as I will use Vo-Matoran. And Ve-Matoran. because vegetables. No reason not to follow canon for something as simple as a name. I mean, it's not like following this particular part of canon will make all these relationships we've had moot.

Yay, instead of meteors, you now have the power of a star. My main issue with Joske now is how hard it is to read the words. Dat read. I'd compliment you, Tuck, but I don't know what to say that hasn't been said before. So thanks to that, I'll invent an entirely new word to compliment you and Joske - ThewrittenversionofChuckNorriswithfantasy. Hope the word wasn't too long.

Unfortunately, nobody knows -not even the staff! It all depends on how soon we can wrap up this year's story. I would say we still have a week or two left, so you might as well create a character and get your feet wet in preparation for the new year. Fully bear in mind: The exact same thing was said two weeks ago . --- Ooh! Toa of light! Neat.But for those now knowing that Joske will not die: "Prevent user from accessing mask ever again" is an objective which can be achieved in more ways then one... Perhaps the destruction sewn in each man's heart will cause Joske to burn himself out? Because, "Just not being able to use an OP weapon ever again" is not much of a weakness in itself. It gives you an advantage you previously not had, and even though it is a one-off advantage, later on losing the ability to give yourself even more advantages is not a sacrafice in itself (which is what the "Specify the weakness" would imply). Something tells me that Toa Joske will have another sacrifice to make very soon... ---EDIT:Also, minor nitpicking:THAT COLOUR. Srsly. Aargh! Couldn't you have gone for a more dark gold colour?

Not that he needs it, since his light powers let him run at light speed.This statement reminds me of the slight humor I see in the Bionicle Universe's many many races and mask powers. Many things are redundant if you really draw it out.For example: a Toa of Air or Gravity with a Mask of Flight, Mask of Levitation, Mask of Teleportation, or a Mask of Telekinesis is ultimately redundant. Toa of Air could in theory produce currents of air to lift them up and keep them afloat, Toa of Gravity can just alter the gravitational force on themselves, a Mask of Levitation and Mask of Flight theoretically do the exact same thing, a wearer of a Mask of Teleportation can teleport rapidly at one point in the air (and ultimately move faster), and a Mask of Telekinesis, albeit with experience, could in theory allow the wearer to telekinetically lift themselves and "throw" them in the direction they want to "fly" or use their powers to telekinetically "push" themselves off of the ground and high into the air.Toa can be quite overpowered and most people don't even realize it XD Behind this sucky post count, a writer and hardcore RPer lies in wait of a reason to post...
