Bzprpg News And Discussion

This should explain it for you.

Ohh, I see. To be honest, I actually wasn't going to have Kehuri choose who to give them to. Rather, he was going to give them to someone more experienced in that field. I wasn't specifically thinking a moderator, but I'd be fine with adjusting it. Would that work?

[BULiK]

Draezeth, it might also be good for you to view the post Nuju made that introduced the Parakuka, and also read up on some other custom species on the BZPRPG wiki. That would hopefully clear up any future confusion.

Sorry Kaithas, but you're wrong there.Toa are expected to have come from Mata Nui, and they were all originally Matoran. As long as you don't refer too directly to how your character became a Toa, it's fine.Toa are not meant to come from Voya Nui, or other foreign places.Also, Toa Stones aren't allowed in-game so that people can't just change their Matoran characters into Toa because they're bored; it's so that people stick with the same species (or stage in a species), unless the staff should reward them with a Toa Stone or punish them by turning them into a Turaga.- Vorex

Why are they expected to have come from Mata Nui? Oh, random thing, can the inhabitants of Mata Nui see Bara Magna from Mata Nui?

Didn't know there was a wiki! Thanks for the heads-up, I'll read it now.

[AuRon the champion]

No. As far as we know, Mata Nui is the only island. All that plot never happened, it's just the world of 2001. No Metru Nui, No Voya Nui, no Aqua Magna, no Bara Magna, no Teridax, Nothing.

You could try, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. The only time I can remember the staff letting anyone use Toa Stones is if it's part of the staff plot.

Also, Toa Stones aren't allowed in-game so that people can't just change their Matoran characters into Toa because they're bored; it's so that people stick with the same species (or stage in a species), unless the staff should reward them with a Toa Stone or punish them by turning them into a Turaga.

. . .Since when have the staff turned a Toa into a Turaga as a punishment? And how is that a bad thing, either? Last I checked, turning a Toa into a Turaga didn't require staff approval, that is unless you're wanting to make use of that Toa Energy, of course, in whoch case you very much do.Also, a link to the wiki, which is really in need of more activity.

I doubt it, both realistically and for plot reasons. If they could, It would just be a blurry dot in the sky, anyways.EDIT: @Benluke: Lanz, before he became hordika Edited November 28, 2012 by Bulik

http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=124#entry18242Oh, and read the news thingamajig. Second post from the bottom.

[sunflower]

I've actually done quite some thought on the subject of the Solis Magna system and what it would look like from Mata Nui. I think that Bara Magna would be quite visiable from Aqua Magna, however, its not like anyone on Mata Nui would know what it was. I think of it as a sort of "moon", depsite the fact that Aqua Magna is a satellite.(All about point of view and perspective.)

Shouldn't be a problem then, since I'm not actually using them!

Beware the dangers of thinking Nuju allows loopholes

[BenLuke]

Bara Magna

Bara Magna? What's Bara Magna? Another name for Po-Wahi? :PReally, guys, the parts of the Bionicle universe we actually know exist are Mata Nui, Zakaz, and Xia and maybe Metru Nui. It's still up in the air about any other locations. Edited November 28, 2012 by Javert

[AuRon the champion]

I love how the whole 'admins-saying-that-the-plot-outside-of-2001-doesn't-exist' statement is ignored.D=

[BULiK]

Bara Magna

Bara Magna? What's Bara Magna? Another name for Po-Wahi?

I heard it was a new brand of Ussal wax.

[Ghosthands]

Doesn't *necessarily* exist

[Constructelf]

But we have vortixx from Xia and skakdi from Zakaz. The fact that two islands in the MU exist while the rest don't confuses me.And what was the purpose of limiting the plot to 2001? What's the big deal over "return to roots?"

[ARROW404]

Mata Nui was my favorite location by a long shot. No complaints here!

[BULiK]

They may or may not exist, it's just we Mata-Nuians don't know or care about them. All we know is a bunch of wierd species wash up from somewhere else, pretty much.

Because when Tuck started this RPG, he wanted it that way. The original RPG plot was far to confusing for new members to understand, so when the site crashed and rebooted, he rebooted the story too.

Nostalgia.I don't necessarily agree with it, but there you go.EDIT:

Not eactly, the "make the game more accessible" reboot actually happened months before the downtime, the game was rebooted again after the downtime to fix some problems the early 2011 scenario had and give things a fresh start after months and moths of no BZPRPG. Edited November 28, 2012 by Javert

Yes. I'm Mangai/Hatter/Hawk, I can vouch for him.

False.Veef's Toa Aiuta come from "a crescent-shaped island". This may or may not be Voya Nui, however they did come from somewhere else. So I guess with staff permission (VF had Nuju's permission to create those Toa) they can come from somehwere else.

[Ghosthands]

I think if you're ambiguous enough, it's ok for characters to come from an UNKNOWN LOCATION off Mata Nui.

[Krayzikk]

Here's what it boils down to.Only Vortixx and Skakdi can come from somewhere else without permission. They also either have to not remember any of it, or not talk about it much.Toa can only come from other places with permission, or if they're super ambiguous about it.Furthermore, the plot outside of 2001? As far as we know? Didn't happen. Nothing past 2001 happened, that's for sure. This game's canon varies so severely from the real one, you should pretend none of it happened. Because chances are it happened a very different way.

Edited November 28, 2012 by Krayzikk Bieber

[BULiK]

Also, Hiemalis came from a foreign land as well, If I remember correctly. Really, it doesn't matter if your chracter came from somewhere else; as long as they don't remember it and mre importantly, how to get there.

Ohai! I remember you.

[sunflower]

I find the concept of Aqua Magna without the Shattering interesting. THE POSSIBILITIES.But, Solis Magna is still a double star system. Nothing can convince me otherwise. EDIT: Or binary, if you prefer the term.

Edited November 28, 2012 by Frost Dragon

[BULiK]

But for all we know, one star could be signifigantly brighter than the other and they could also be close together, making them appear to be a single sun.

[Wotz]

To be honest foreign relations is the least of our worries when we're dominated by an omnipresent demi-god of pure darkness.

[Palm]

Hey all, anybody interested in joining a sort of inquisition, PM me. It's for the new attempt for the FoM to take over the island, and Pae's the First Inquisitor. It'd be nice if he wasn't the only one.

[BULiK]

I was not expecting this

[AuRon the champion]

But I was. I've been expecting this for awhile actually...

[ARROW404]

Sounds interesting. 'Fraid I'm too much of a newbie to help out there though.

[- JL -]

Draezith! As a newbie, you can help out here!I've created an all-matoran team, and invited, like, every single newb (New guy, not bad guy) who plays, along with those who simply wanted to join. If you want, you can join as well. It would help improve your skills (Limiting what you can do with element and masks), and generally help you out for teamwork. And improving your RPing in general.And yeah, this is also an invite to everyone else who wants to join. The team is getting big, but the more, the merrier. But then we'd need a deputy leader or something.

[Light]

Speaking of the Matoran team, I apologize for lack of posts. Wasn't feeling good yesterday.

[Relapse]

Help his skills?But, but...The Aukati is involvedThat's only ever been detrimental to writing/RPing in general

Except for that one time where one of TNG's characters charged a squad of rahkshi and got smited to the brink of death. That was fun to read and made me very happy.

[Krayzikk]

Except for the fact that he was kind of up, running about and fine in a week OOC. When really he should have been bed ridden for the same IC, and unable to move perfectly for three more weeks. Which translates to roughly two-three months OOC.

[Silvan Haven]

What is going on with the Fowardi? It started moving and then kinda froze.Edit: Again.
