Wotz Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm pretty sure dissecting an alien is fairly logical, aside from completely not being what I meant by deux ex machina.This guy just randomly turns up to give out free Parakuka info, and what better way to get info than to get a close look at one.

Krayzikk Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Actually, it's quite logical.They need to find out about the 'Kuka, and they can't risk the Turaga.Baneless shows up out of the blue, and tries to tell them the 'Kuka are harmless. His only support are two strangers, one openly supporting Makuta.And when their leader is a Lawful Evil, this is what you get.

Elrond of Rivendell Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Yes, I know what it is.

Politically, this is play-dough.

Katuko Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Baneless will not be murdered for no reason, geez. If anything, lopping the head of Skaarn earlier instead of leaving him in the ice block long enough to talk at all would have been the more realistic kill. As others have said: what we have here is a non-trusted character with a Parakuka just magically appearing, so doing the studies on him (such as trying to carefully drag a claw out of his back) is sensible given that the Turaga are infinitely more important. All our characters could possibly confirm about the slugs are that they are Makuta's doing, so removing it from Baneless would even be seen as a Good act if the assumption is that they can control minds (the Turaga weren't exactly the best first impression either).Now, if we happen to injure your character a bit, Bane, sending a hit squad after us (or even doing it prematurely) when they would have no way of knowing is not exactly sensible either.EDIT: It's spelled Armageddon.

I understood the imprisonment, just not the torture and death of my char.Killing a Player Character without permission of the player you controls him'her is against the rules, so you don't really have to worry about that. We're still perfectly able to imprison him or torture him for information, although the second probably won't do wonders for the ILS's reputation. . .

Visaru Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Bane, we can't kill your character!We're just getting information from him!In a particularly gruesome way.Also,a quick lesson:Dues ex machina=god of the machineGod of the Machine refers to ancient times. Back in ye olde days, the greeks had these fabulous stories. They were told in the form of plays. Usually, They all ended with a god coming down from the heavens, intervening, and setting everything right. The very definition of Dues Ex Machina, right?Now, these gods were, in the play, just actors who flew around on ropes. Ropes. Controlled by a machine. They were the God of the Machine. Deus Ex Machina.Get it?@Auron- I just posted, saying that Tooroko set sail, so The Silver Keras is on the way to Ga-Koro. We can do all sorts of pirate-y stuff now.

Katuko Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Skaarn's not been let loose because he is a mutated beast and his info (boils down to "you need EP and some rare spiders") can't be confirmed and seems more like an attempt to make us go on a fake quest right into Makuta's hands. To the ILS, letting him out now would be like letting out potential psychopath that they can't really disarm.The Vortixx is not getting tortured, that was a joke in this topic. In character we are not even close to that point yet. If we do anything to him it will not be a direct attempt to kill, only an attempt to find out more about the Parakuka from hand-on evidence.

Kethrye, for example, nearly lashed out at D early in the team's run because he thought he recognized him as the murderer he had chased to Le-Wahi (spoiler alert: that was correct). The only reason D is still around is essentially that the people who showed up to claim him did so in a manner that gave him the benefit of the doubt.But if someone just stabs a prisoner in front of everyone?
