- JL - Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Also, nobody should be using Urban Dictionary to look things up if they're self-respecting truth-seekers who want to maintain credibility. You should have just Googled it, because the definition is right there. Edit: Or Baidu-ed it, or whatever.I did google it. Nothing came up really so I then Urban Dictionaried it.

BULiK Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Common sense says no, your characters wouldn't get there in time. And while captives may seem important, they can only tell you a few facts: 1. Xa-Koro is destroyed.2. There are two other ships.3. The people of Xa-Koro will have their revenge... someday.4. They hate the mainlanders.5. They think the mainlanders destroyed their city because of a fear that Xa-Koro would become too powerful and capable of defending itself against mainlander oppression. Other than that, prisoners have literally nothing of vital consequence to share. Those are all the beans to spill, I'm afraid. Bwahaha.Actually, #2 would be vital information. This would confirm suspicions of another assault, and give somewhat of a troop estimate for the rest of the army (only so-and-so amount of people could fit on such ships). Then we could start prepping Defenses right away. Guys, lets get a Prisoner. If we can get the beans spilled fast, the Fowadi might have time to intercept the two boats before they unleash their payload of soldiers. If not, another strategy is to have scouts find the landing zones and send the ILF land force, which is supports by the Fowadi, which could take out the peer soldier's means of retreat and give a shore bombardment.Just my thoughts on the situation.

Krayzikk Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 There's a concept that explains this. It's called the "Godzilla Threshold". During lower scale battles, like a handful of people vs. a handful of people, minimizing damage is a high priority. That's why some things aren't acceptable. But there is a point where the damage would be higher if you don't act with full force, the Godzilla Threshold. The attack on Le-Koro has passed the Godzilla Threshold. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

The choice is yours, but it's been done, and those characters have a tendency to be pretty flat, fun as they are.--------I've got a well-developed character who both intentionally fits the "generic Toa of Fire" bill (right down to the flame sword and the short temper) AND is partially mad-sarcastic while still having a decent backstory and ironically a degree of depth as to WHY he fits both of those categories, and the funny thing is it works!...Of course, odds are I'll never use him in BZPRPG, considering more than half his backstory relies heavily on the existence of OMN, and the other half utilizes a bunch of plot points set in an "alternate dimension" fanon "epic" of mine that I likely will not get time to write here, so that's that. But still, point is made. Behind this sucky post count, a writer and hardcore RPer lies in wait of a reason to post... For those who will likely ask when reading some of my non-RP posts: for me, "*shot*' = "I know that what I said was something stupid and I am acknowledging this before people think I'm serious." Oh yeah, and my current BZPRPG character bio can be found here. "Why...me? Oh yeah, that's right. I'm weak. I'm of a minority, a minority of people with a common trait: we hear too much. And what we're supposed to hear hurts to hear. When I'm alone in a silent room, I can hear a pebble dropping from a mile away. I can hear a motor boat being started up several yards off the coast. A whisper from outside, I can hear as if they were talking right at me. An explosion in another koro, I hear as if it's just outside. Sounds useful, right?""Wrong.""It's a curse, if you ask me. The same pen dropping inside this aforementioned silent room would ring in my ears. If I stood by the same motor, I'd get a headache. The same whisper would ring in my ear like two metal beams being slammed together in front of my face. The same explosion would render me deaf for years...thank the Spirit I thought of getting me something to dampen the noise, or I'd end up like the rest of my kind..." ~Voutok S'Tythe; unknown date, unknown location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, while Ambages pretends to be a faithful for Mata Nui and a sinister bannerman for the Makuta he is on neither side and all on his own, all while fooling the people of Mata Nui and the Cultured Gentry. His charades are at the core of the irony here. BZPRPG Profiles / Critical Acclaim / Complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
