Okay, then.Weareallgoingtodie.gif

Only if you play badly.

I meant more you guys. The only character I have in the Hive Attack is a Makuta Follower.

[EmperorWhenua]

Klakk are flying rahi, but not birds. To say that because it has wings it speaks bird is about as silly as deducing that a shark is a fish because it lives in the water. You need empirical proof to make conclusions, but absurd fallacies.

[~Xemnas~]

But sharks are fishBut yes, Klakk are not birds, just some flying Rahi. They aren't a specific type of Rahi.

[The Lorax]

Is a shark not technically a fish? But point taken - it doesn't look very bird-like in the pictures.

[otter]

Is a shark a bony fish?If so, is it lobe or ray finned?

[Tabby: Toa of Cats]

I'm pointing out that it does have wings. Not everything that flies in BIONICLE does, like Kadin.. Flight can be a power rather than a natural abiltiy. I won't say speciifically that it is a bird just because of that.it is true that in the instances we have seen klakk, they have been seen in caves. (Once guarding Miserix, once created by Mutran in Karda Nui.) However, we do not know for certain if this is that is always the case, as in both these instances, klakk have been placed by Makuta for a purpose, though it certainly would make sense to put them in their natural enviorment. Even if the klakk is not a bird, which would make it easier for my charecter to stumble upon his power, the power could theoretically still be discovered accidentally anyway. So if it is or isn't is less important.

@Kal- *sigh* Sharks are cartilaginous fish- they're made of mostly cartilage, however, they do have some bones.But enough of the biology lesson- let's get back to talking about the game.

Forget about the Klakk, they don't exist on the island anyways. The only thing we'll shatter Heuani's shadow barrier with is a sharp dagger.By the way, Nuju, I got a note that you had quoted my post somewhere on page 432, but I can't see that post. If it was important to how we go about these events, I hope you'll repost it.

It related to the question of whether or not sharks were fish. Which yes, they are, but they're a specific type of fish.

[The Lorax]

A shark is not a bony fish. It is falls within the Chondrichthyes, which are still fish, but unlike the ray and lobe finned fishes, sharks are not teleostomes.The difference is their skeleton.

[AuRon the champion]

.... Tarakarva are sharks, does that mean they're Ruki?

[otter]

Just making sure people wouldn't jump to conclusions.Or forcing people to do research so that they would get it right.Both are good.@Auron: Tarakava aren't sharks, I think you're mixing them up with Takea.And no, that's like asking "Is a Great White a minnow?" >.<

Guys, stay on topic

[Athmos]

Technically, they are on topic, just not on the topic of the topic.

[The Lorax]

Tarakava are lizards, ruki are fish. There's a big difference. Takea are a type of fish that we would call a shark. There is still a difference, even if it's a smaller one.

[EmperorWhenua]

... Maybe whales would have been a better representation of my argument.

[Palm]

Yuru needs to hurry up and choose who get's the Mark of Fear.

[~Xemnas~]

@EW: I agree. Alright, guys,I believe it's time to stop talking about stuff that doesn't apply to the game. Instead, let's focus on what to do about Heuani.

[Katuko]

Gentlemen, it's simple: We kill the Batman Heuani.

[~Xemnas~]

But how will we kill him? That is the question.

[The Lorax]

That's the question isn't it. De-shadowing him would be a good first step, and while he's wondering what on earth is going on, we hit him with all the elements we've got.On that note, does anyone want to try a toa seal?

[~Xemnas~]

Tyler! What the Karz is going on in Ga-Wahi?

[Elrond of Rivendell]

A toa seal would be fun, but Nuju'll just teleport before it gets to him, then he'll kill 6 more toa. You need Nuju's approval to kill Nuju's char, which makes the matter come to a head. You can't kill him. -Bane

[The Lorax]

But our characters don't know that, and they will still try their hardest to kill Heuani. Whether Nuju allows that to happen is his choice, but it doesn't mean we can't try.

Hm? Whatever do you mean, dear?-Teezy

Who the heck are those two clowns? And what do you mean they got their souls stolen by Valkyr? They didn't exist in the game when Anthyn was created!

[shadow pridak money gang]

Their names are Choi and Dujour. Where are your manners? :PAnd funnily enough, they did exist. EW named two unspecified, unimportant people to help assist in the ritual. These are the unspecified, unimportant people.-Teezy

[~Xemnas~]

Oh... I see. Nevermind then. Now I'm gonna grab some popcorn and enjoy myself watching them try to move.

[Wade.]

Gentlemen, it's simple: We kill the Batman Heuani.

One does not simply kill the Batman Heuani.

[shadow pridak money gang]

Now, the real question is: why would I create these guys now? For fun? To annoy you? To fill up my profile post until, like Hubert's, it starts eating itself? Could it be that perhaps I'm gearing up for a certain Toa who's name starts with D and ends with orian to try and discover the truth behind the ritual and then track down Anthyn?We may never know.-Teezy

[The Lorax]

One does not simply kill the Batman Heuani.

But the Heuaniman does simply kill you.

[~Xemnas~]

@Tyler: Um, I don't know what you're planning, but this had better be good.

So I hear Katuko and some other people are organising another treasure hunt?

[shadow pridak money gang]

So it would appear. Here's hoping it ends better than the last iteration.-Teezy

[Elrond of Rivendell]

I already gave them a rule to instate. See earlier posts for details.Also, due to fear of metagaming, I'm not joining.-Bane

[Wade.]

All right, quick question of shameless advertising: anyone feel like joining an Akrainid caravan? It's only Krayzikk and I at the moment, hardly the group

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Arkanid? What in Mata-Nui's name is that?-Bane

[Wade.]

Well if you want the full description, go to the first profile page and look at Raz: Master Muscle Wizard's profile, about a fourth of the way down.Haven't really gotten around to know how to link posts

[Katuko]

The real problem with Heuani at the moment is that the second he started flinging shadow bolts at us we couldn't really ignore him, and we can't kill him yet because he's a plot-related character. Our character's natural reactions are to counter-attack, but I do not know what constitutes "excellent roleplay" in order to fend him off. Overly complex plans will not work because the complexity leaves the characters open in the middle of it, and simple-to-slightly advanced moves can be easily countered it seems. I just know I'm not going to write a page-long post filled with adjectives just to try an attack, so I have relegated my character to hang back and act like the commander he's supposed to be.

So I hear Katuko and some other people are organising another treasure hunt?

My character and Fanixe's character is marching off into the desert to look for a Tarakava nest that may or may not be there. That's all. It's not meant to be some elaborate scheme with clues and a magnificent prize at the end. Just an adventure for the heck of it. It's about the journey, not the destination, as they say.
