I have no idea what is going on anymore, I find everything highly entertaining.

[Nuju Metru]

Even Heuani found this confusing.

[Constructelf]

NO. BAD DOG. BAD HEUANI. LEAVE ECHELON ALONE; REPEAT, LEAVE ECHELON ALONE. STAY, REPEAT, STAY. DON'T BOTHER THE TOA OF MAGNETISM; LET'S GO HOME AND GIVE YOU A NICE WARM BATH.

Don't even try that.Echelon's dead. Deal with it. You'll just have to find your Makuta followers someone else to lead them.

[otter]

If I was HeuaniI would tickle you with a swordAnd then get carried away with itFor the implied insult I saw there

[Constructelf]

Well, at least this is going to give my HWP triad a job to do; someone's gonna want someone dead after what happened.

[25K Now!]

Well Heuani technically didn't kill Echelon. It was the Ukuleles. Heuani's just getting Dorian to disfigure Echo's corpse.And do you REALLY want to try and kill Heuani or Dorian?

[Nuju Metru]

NO. BAD DOG. BAD HEUANI. LEAVE ECHELON ALONE; REPEAT, LEAVE ECHELON ALONE. STAY, REPEAT, STAY. DON'T BOTHER THE TOA OF MAGNETISM; LET'S GO HOME AND GIVE YOU A NICE WARM BATH.

I'll match your quote with another (oddly perfect) quote:

You call me a lap dog, a puppet, a pet. An adorable attempt, really. While I always love nicknames, inaccurate ones never stick... for I am no pet, but a master. I am the one who has pets, my own little dogs on leashes, who I can play with or tie up to trees whenever I want, who know how to do nothing but fawn on me, adore me, lick me with their thoughtless tongues. I of all people know of pets, and I know that I am not one."

[otter]

You just love jumping in on things like this, don't you?Especially when it isn't needed, plot wise, and provides no comedic effect either?

[Hanako Herupa]

Alright, Katuko and I are still working out this upcoming battle. There's a likelihood that we will be creating some situational rules to such a conflict. There is a likelihood the battle won't even happen tonight as a result.I have seen fights like this before and rushing into them isn't going to help. Yet that seems like what a few of you want to do. As I have said, by all means you cannot listen to Katuko or I, or really anyone who has stressed patience and thoughtfulness leading up to and during the upcoming battle.Situations like these give you a real appreciation of what Nuju went through with the Hive.

[Constructelf]

Wut? Who said that they wanted the fight TONIGHT? That seems unreasonable. However, if I have to wait for another MONTH...

[25K Now!]

Doesn't really matter to me. I missed most of the Hive Battle and the Aggressors v Infernavika battle. Because of timezones and sleep and school.

[BULiK]

So, changing the subject, what exactly do toa of crystal do?

They control crystal and sand.

Bad idea unless you think you have 1 too many characters.

[otter]

Sand?Wut?

What hubert said.

[BULiK]

Sand?Wut?

I thought you guys would remember this stuff!Heres a reminder from out overlord himself:

Re: Sand... It's part of crystal. How crystal differentiates from stone is beyond me, but if there is a distinction, then sand gets lumped in with crystal.

[Constructelf]

So what are the colors for crystal? White, grey, and, silver I would guess?

Nothings official: here in the BZPRPG there are blue toa of fire walking around last I checked.But color schemes related to a toa of ice make sense to me, for that is what is probably considered the closest element related to crystal.

Actually, I PM'ed Nuju about Verak, asking if I could make a Toa of Sand.

Why not be a Toa of Stone? Sand is stone. Or crystal. Both of those elements are okay to be.

So sand is also a subpower of Po-Toa.

[Constructelf]

This post really touched me. But really? THIRTY sisters? Reminds me of a song...

[Toa Of Virtues]

This post really touched me. But really? THIRTY sisters? Reminds me of a song...

Did I see "the cake is a lie" in that post?

[Constructelf]

YES. You also saw "There is no spoon".

[25K Now!]

You must be new here. Why?Because you're commenting on the fact that there are thirty Jaliax Sisters instead of the fact that I made a ridiculously long post.

[- JL -]

I chose red.

[Light]

GUYS GUYS GUYS. It's not red, or white, or anything like that. IT'S CLEAR!

[otter]

Why are we even arguing about the colour .-.I wasn't even aware it mattered that much, in a world where we can have a blue Toa of Fire and a female Ta-Matoran.And billions of other differences.

[NorikSigma]

Wait, if Echelon is dead who is gonna take over Xa-Koro? Anyways, how exactly does the EE shield work? Os it everyone inside the radius i.e. village? Or like an area like a belt around Pala-Koro? Otherwise how did those guys inside Pala Koro fight? Sorry, I'm a bit clueless here.

It doesn't allow things like fire (which need continuous EE to keep aflame) through. Everything else you can do. Oh, and I'm pretty sure Echelon answered to Makuta.

[Visaru]

The elemental dampening field is a ring around Pala-Koro. It does not affecting anything inside the village, but if you are outside the walls you cannot use your elemental powers.

[otter]

For a 3 bio radius, or something like that. Whatever it was they said.

You can. As Katuko said, it blocks the elemental energy from passing, not the objects. You can create things like stone and throw it through, but past the barrier and you cannot shape, absorb, or do anything to the stone. Things like a wind tornado can pass through, but control over it is lost and it would eventually turn into a strong breeze, if anything. Things like fire and magnetism cannot go through at all - they require EE at all times. Past the barrier, no EE, they disappear. You can, of course, throw magnets or a lit piece of wood through the barrier. And the barrier has the same effect, inside or out. Edited September 30, 2012 by Jl1223 X

[NorikSigma]

Oh, so the shield is like a wall of sorts, right? You can use EE inside or outside the village, but not THROugh the barrier, right?

Edited September 30, 2012 by Norik Ta Hagah

[- JL -]

Yep, you got it.

[Visaru]

Actually, no. It's a field. A 3- bio area around the village, or whatever Grochi said. All that stuff about throwing rocks through the field is true, but the basic idea is that you can't use your elemental powers near the village.

No, Katuko stated it's a barrier - EE can be used anywhere, but if you're standing on one side of the barrier you can't do anything with EE on the other.

[Visaru]

Y'know those anti-element generators that EW announced and Nuju allowed and I protested some time ago? Well, they are now installed at Pala-Koro.- Each machine projects a field extending 500 meters out from the wall. The inside of the village is not covered.

Nope. It's a field

It doesn't block EE usage except past it.

[Visaru]

I'm just thinking that a blanket statement of "elemental powers won't work inside the field, period" is a lot easier.

Any active use of EE will fail inside the field, simple as that.

You can not, however, use your power within the field,

elemental energy is not usable in the area outside Pala-Koro

Not through the field, or once past the field, but within the field. It blocks EE usage that passes through it, yes, but also inside of it too.

How should I explain it?Imaging a bubble around Pala-Koro. The bubble IS the field. From what I gather, INSIDE it, no EE can be used. This means no elemental energy, which also means, as an example, a Toa of Fire cannot create any form of fire or heat except using something not by EE - An explosive can create fire, but a Toa cannot.At the edge of the field, is the barrier. You could think of it as the bubbles.....wall thing majigy. This is where it gets interesting. EE can be used on the outside of the barrier, but not on the inside. If you try to create something inside while standing on the outside, its a waste. If you create something on the outside, finish creating it, and throw it in, you will have control over it until it passes through the barrier. Finally, things that require EE all the time to sustain themselves can not pass through. You might send a Fireball, and it would disappear because no EE is fueling it. You might send a gust of wind, and it would calm down since you can't fuel it, although you can create it. The only way to do things like create a fire is to use a natural way, not by EE, which also means that you cannot control the fire.So, in essence, the edge of the field is a wall, and everything inside of the walls cannot use their EE. Everything outside the walls can use their EE, but they can't use it inside the wall while standing outside.

[NorikSigma]

I think it os worth elaborating on this point. Imagine a map. Draw the lake wherever, it's not important. Draw a square, which is the HQ, a rectangle, for the Barracks, and the village itself, meaning you now have a square, recatngle and little polygons. Now, draw a rough circle AROUND the polygons. The circle is is not a thin line, but a thick line. Hollow out the thick line, leaving two concentric circles. Shade the area BETWEEN the concentric circles. The 500 metre thing is the SHADED PART. Now, draw a dot or figure outside the village and concentric cirles. That is a guy named Demonstrator 1. He lobs a fire ball in. The path is marked as a line. It stops once it touches the SHADED PART. Now, Demonstrator 1 is angry and levitates a trunk to THROW in. This means he "picks" the tree up with magnetism and throws it in. His control over it STOPS before it hits the SHADED PART. So its momentum carries the trunk through SHADED PART and hits Person 2 at the say, Barracks. Yay, person1 says and tries to control the trunk to hit Person2 again. But his elemental energy can't go THROUGH THE SHADED PART. Person 2 laughs and does all three things Person1 tried, and the converse is the same. Stuff goes THROUGH SHADED PART, BUT ELEMENTAL ENERGY DOESN'T. Now this SHADED PART IS THE SHIELD, or ENERGY FIELD. Phew.
