Eyru Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Does Pala-Koro require staff approval?Pala-Koro is a player-created settlement, so if all the members of the ILS agreed to let it burn, then I assume it could be demolished without staff approval.

Franco Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Why do people want to attack the ILS? We will always outnumber you tremendously, and even if you do have the slightest effect on our ranks, bad stuff shall happen. To you Heauni killed several ILS members. It doesn't seem like he's been hit by all that much bad stuff lately...He seems pretty darn cheery for someone with the figurative sword of over his head.I wouldn't be so sure about that outnumbering, either. The ILS does have a massive advantage in numbers over even the crew of the 'Vika. However, there are quite a few anti-ILS/pro-Makuta/anti-Mahdrik groups out there. A mere coalition of those groups could rival it in numbers and outright threaten the ILS. I'm not saying that will happen, but that is one example of how the squad might not always retain numerical superiority over its foes.And guys, let's not get too emotionally invested in this. It's nice that we have our own thoughts and opinions on the game. But to let your characters' thoughts influence your own runs the risk of turning them into your avatar. Just because you like one org doesn't mean that you should be against the formation of another that's opposed to it. Edited June 30, 2012 by Francis Wisehead [Profiles] Wisdom. Restraint. Emptiness.

Katuko Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Heuani is a staff-controlled character vital to the staff plot. He literally can not lose his battles until the plot demands it; and note that he is allowed to auto-hit. Therefore, he can instantly kill someone in combat, while player-controlled characters can not. I agree about the part about superior numbers; though, it wouldn't be too hard to overpower the ILS. I just ask that a single being does not prevail simply because people are not given time to respond.The issues we had the last time there was a fight (Miraul and co.) was that while the groups were similar at the time; they were all mostly controlled by one person, I think, and used attacks like instantly freezing every ILS member's armor joints with Iron or Magnetism; or starting a forest fire in seconds, etc.Now: Damaging a small part of Pala-Koro (like a single hut) does not really take any permission because that is the sort of action that can be fixed relatively easily. Describing fire spreading and consuming the entire area, however, does, because what has been made over the course of months by many players should not be torn down by one player in seconds (unless agreed upon in advance because it would be wicked cool as a plot point or something).

Katuko Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) I agree too. Just as long as both groups go about it nicely.Has the blaze continued to burn through Le-Wahi? Or did it just all go out somehow thanks to Ril and Optimus (doubtful by mef's view as it would already have expanded far enough into the jungle that a bit remained).[/font]Just to answer this as well: One person started it (in the middle of combat with a lot of other people) while we have at least two Toa of Fire available plus some Ice and Water and Air to help quell it. Add to that the fact that Pala-Koro is surrounded by a crude wall of stone/iron, that there is a lake nearby and that most of the grass ought to have been trodden into mud by now... and the only thing left to burn are the wooden huts. The fire should be over already. Edited June 30, 2012 by Katuko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franco Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) @Katuko: Belthnor said, and I paraphrase: 'The jungle behind them was consumed by flames.' Both he and Mef treated it as though Ayra was hiding in jungle by the ILS when the animals around it were scared away by the inferno. Hence the confusion.Heuani is a staff-controlled character vital to the staff plot. He literally can not lose his battles until the plot demands it; and note that he is allowed to auto-hit. Therefore, he can instantly kill someone in combat, while player-controlled characters can not. I agree about the part about superior numbers; though, it wouldn't be too hard to overpower the ILS. I just ask that a single being does not prevail simply because people are not given time to respond.The issues we had the last time there was a fight (Miraul and co.) was that while the groups were similar at the time; they were all mostly controlled by one person, I think, and used attacks like instantly freezing every ILS member's armor joints with Iron or Magnetism; or starting a forest fire in seconds, etc.Now: Damaging a small part of Pala-Koro (like a single hut) does not really take any permission because that is the sort of action that can be fixed relatively easily. Describing fire spreading and consuming the entire area, however, does, because what has been made over the course of months by many players should not be torn down by one player in seconds (unless agreed upon in advance because it would be wicked cool as a plot point or something).I know. Was just trying to disprove it with one example, no matter how absurd As what I thought to be a joke, I assumed I could provide equally silly refutations...And if not, then perhaps a better example would be Miraul and his team or whatever. I don't believe they've suffered much.@Benluke: Exacta. Edited June 30, 2012 by Francis Wisehead [Profiles] Wisdom. Restraint. Emptiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't exactly say much to stop ash bears circling a tree within the boundaries of a walled village with tons of sapient PCs around.
