BenLuke Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Could someone give me an update on that the Peer that blew up Pala-Koro's walls? BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorWhenua Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 He's in the jungle to the north-east of it, in the custody of Aparangi (Vezok's Friend) and DJ (Kughii), with Hiemalis (me) standing by. You can search for the keywords of "Peer" and "Aparangi" in Le-Wahi and you'll be caught up.

Constructelf Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 EW,If the Peer that blew up Pala-Koro is still alive, then why does the wiki say that he's dead?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorWhenua Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 That's because he is, for all intents and purposes, dead to his fellows and his actual death has been delayed due to slow role playing.

Constructelf Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 No I don't.The business with Otus in Ga is confusing me. This has inspired me to add a section on elemental powers to my biology report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It's not confusing.It's a look at the magical powers of the island from an outsider viewpoint. http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constructelf Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Is this the first time somebody RP'D as an alien?And it's not magic; what I think it is is either Midi-Chlorians or an additional organ in their body that grants them control over subatomic particles that allow them to split atoms apart and reform them into their element, creating the illusion of something from nothing.

Constructelf Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I prefer to call it "extremely powerful psionics". There's a difference, as magic comes from spirits whereas psionics comes from sheer force of will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Attempting to explain the elements with such technobabble fails.

a goose Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I would assume that the reason the business with Otus is confusing is because, as far as I know, the character wasn't staff-approved. - Vorex [BZPRPG PROFILES] Nikarra - Kaelynn - Ronan - Muir - Donal - Aerus - Montague - Kira - Koura - Learu - Alteora - Fuacht - Caana - Nessen - Merrill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyru Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Magic is simply science we don't yet understand. A simple cigarette lighter would, a thousand years ago, be considered "magic." In the same way, elemental powers might as well be considered magical because there's no way we can understand or explain how they work.

25K Now! Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 No no no. Science is the experimentation of explanations and predictions about how everything works in order to obtain knowledge. The elements can be science, such as ...Helryx: If I want to drink water, I get water? Cool, I'mma repeating this over and over again.Of course, we can't come up with a reason how that happens. http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorWhenua Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 That, coupled with the fact that in the game's setting there is no way to explain elemental energies and such, means that everything in the game is magic.

BULiK Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Listen to Wotz. He is making sense. It doesn't really matter all too much. To an extent it is good to explain why things happen, but some things are better left unexplained.

Franco Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) And what sparked that?And it has been one thousand years. Mata Nui should at least be in the early renaissance by now.No.Lots of time /->/ technological advancement. That argument doesn't consider that for technological process to happen, other factors quite typically need to align (like a degree of peace while that time passes). And this is MN, so factors are a veritable ton different from Earth in the first place. Who knows what it'd take for tech to advance? Edited November 23, 2012 by Norman Efiks [Profiles] Wisdom.

Krayzikk Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 There is also another factor you are all forgetting.In the real world, there wasn't an all-powerful dark force keeping everything down and striking at anything that was getting too advanced or influential. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?
