Bzprpg News And Discussion

[ARROW404]

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.

Welp, come and find me in Onu-Koro then!A question for the vets! The rules on controlling NPCs were kinda vague, so I don't really know if I'm able to control one or two Onu-Matoran. And what of the rest of Onu-Koro, having one of their own turn into a Toa and all...?

[BULiK]

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.

Yeah... That made me angry as well. Karz, he should have Ben dead in the first place!

[Silvan Haven]

One or two NPCs are fine as long as you don't go overboard with what you have them do.

[sunflower]

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

The Fowadi is on its way to Le-Wahi to track down some pyromanical pirates and get Onewa back. Was going to make post, but...

[ARROW404]

What if we had a chatbox to discuss the RP... chatango or something like that?

[Silvan Haven]

Ok, I thought so, I just wanted to make sure that I had not been left behind again.

[sunflower]

Don't worry about that, I don't think we're moving fast enough at the moment.

[NorikSigma]

Uh, I don't really want to dig up an old discussion already closed, but what about Matoran of different elements like Iron Gravity, Sonics etc. Is it okay to say thuley came from the MU in the profile pages but the Matoran or Toa, have no memories of it whatsoever? Thank.

[Axilus Prime]

I now feel offended for obvious reasons.And here I was thinking that KNI had some agreement with me to ignore each other. And yet he makes a comment about my characters. I should have known.

[Light]

Yeah, guys, even if his characters are expies, ease up. Seriously. That's not near enough to act this way. Personally, I think his RPing is fine. Now the recovery time I can see complaing about, but the rest, no.

It does not matter which element your character is. For all we know, there never was a Metru-nui or any of the other places so having one of your characters come from there does not work and probably won't contribute to your backstory at all.

Merely trying to keep a friend out of trouble.

Is it fine if one of your chars lose an entire arm only to regenerate it immediately afterwards?Even a Mask of Healing shouldn't be able to regenerate entire lost limbs.

[Light]

Like I said, complaining about that I can see. But saying even being around him is bad for your RPing skills.Completely unnecessary.

Kai, are you listening to this?It hurts my brain.

[EmperorWhenua]

Hey! People! I'm not supposed to tell anyone about this, but Frosty the Drag got permission from Nuju to have Onuzek get an infection! But remember, kids, this is ultra-top-secret so don't tell a soul, kay? Kay. :)

[Axilus Prime]

Haven't done any quick to instant healing since. And I think a Mask of Healing could fuse a limb back on if you still have the limb, but I suppose that's debatable.This was all a long time ago, guys, when I was a noob.I'm still a noob now, just not as bad as before.

[- JL -]

.....Sure.You just had a character fly into a ball of plasma, and escape practically unharmed.Shhhhuuuuuuuuureeeeee.On a side note, Draezith, it might be some time before the matoran team get to Onu-Koro. I'd suggest having him head to Ga-Koro. Also, I saw one of your posts. It was great! Keep it up! )

[Axilus Prime]

You formed the ball around me, and I flew out. My action did no damage to me, yours did. And Plasma is no karzing hotter than Fire in any way. The only differences are that

1. Plasma can be used in more than one form, not just the heated stuff, as the earlier GD discussion (and Wikipedia link) made clear.
2. Plasma doesn't spread.

In other words, they're almost the same, except Plasma has one advantage, and one disadvantage.

[Palm]

Aaaaand take it to PM.

[Axilus Prime]

Did that almost an hour ago. Waiting for response.

[BULiK]

Well, I haven't been checking Le-Wahi for a while....Can someone tell me what the Karz just happened?

[Constructelf]

I was going to post something about "I love how you talk about him like he's not here," but no, I missed it.The matoran of different elements does cause some discrepency though.I was watching the Matrix battle in Le-Koro and this sort of prompted me to create a few elemental guidelines. Kughii already made the gravity one; what other elements do you think need one?

[otter]

Constructman, no offence, but if you or a few other people decide to make elemental guidelines like that, nobody at all is going to respect them unless Nuju specifically gives them his seal of approval.

[Meta-Mind]

*sigh*The battle in Le-Koro does need some resolution - but as I see it, it's simple. Plasma is, by its very nature, far hotter than any fire could ever be, but balancing-wise it has less versitality and less precision control, both over plasma itself and heat. Toa of Plasma are at least semi-immune to their own element - I picture a Toa of Plasma being able to momentarily touch a plasma stream without taking much more than a minor burn.In other words, use a bit of common sense when trying to balance elements, please.

[Relapse]

Bad Company update...

[- JL -]

Plus, we already have guidelines. To simplify it:We can create it, and reshape it, and absorb it, and destroy it, but everything else it must obey science.SCIENCE RULES ALL- All my GCSE Science teathers.Which is why - Next time, TNG, remember that Plasma is far hotter than Fire, to the point of Ionization. So you won't have characters fly into balls of it and fly out unharmed. Oh, and remember a few hours ago when - I think it was Kray - said something about injuries to the point of they should stay bedridden for at least a week? I think this is what happens when someone flies into a ball of plasma.

[Zulu Yankee Kilo Echo]

So then how did Zyke end up in a plasma cage?

[- JL -]

HHe didn't.

[Krayzikk]

Okay, guys?The main problem here?Most of you keep thinking of plasma as some superhot, strange kind of fire. It's not. That's how it can be used, yes, but just because one is resistant to heat doesn't mean they can fly through a plasma barrier untouched.Especially since Ta-Toa are not immune to fire. Are they resistant? You bet they are. But they are by no means immune. Tahu Nuva, who not only was one of the First Toa but also a Nuva, was worried about lava. If he was immune to heat, he wouldn't have been. Plasma? Far hotter than lava.And then consider the fact that each Toa on this island is nowhere near as powerful as the Mata, let alone the Nuva.Yeah. Tahuva should have second degree burns all of her body, minimum (In fact, third degree burns would be more likely), half his armor should be a melted useless bunch of metal, causing further damage just by being in contact with him, and should be in no condition to fight. And if he tried to, he would pretty much shred his own flesh.

Are we allowed to use the Mask of Aging and the Mask of Mind Control?-Mef

[Relapse]

It won't help. TNG doesn't listen.Also no, I don't believe either of those masks are on the list.

[Eyru]

Here's a link to the profiles topic. A list of permitted masks is there in the first post. If it's not there, it can't be used without staff permission.

[Friar Tuck]

Wait...wha-We're still on this discussion? How many times have we had this? *sigh*It looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and write up a second chapter of the Common Sense Guide, this time dealing with the elements. Apparently the original guide was not enough for you...

Are we allowed to use the Mask of Aging and the Mask of Mind Control?-Mef

If you take a look on the profile page, it will list the allowable masks. If it's not on the list, you can't have it. And I believe both are on the "Cannot-Use" list.

[Mef Man]

Oh, yeah, forgot where that list was. Thanks, guys!-Mef

[ARROW404]

I tried looking it up on the Wiki and News posts, but there's nothing specifically telling the location of Pala-Koro. I'm assuming it's in Le-Wahi?

Edited November 29, 2012 by Draezeth

[BULiK]

Huzzah! Another Common Sense Guide chapter! I do hope that this not only helps stop these debates, but also has some humor in it, like the original.EDIT: Pala-Koro is on the banks (I think the south bank, but I'm not sure) of lake Pala, a lake in Le-Wahi

Or what's left of it

[Mef Man]

Get ready to visit the circus! Make sure to check my post (http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=116&&do=findComment&comment=465976) in Le-Wahi and drop by the circus. Don't worry. There aren't any clowns.

Draezeth, it might also be good for you to read the 2012 plot page on the wiki, and the page on Heuani. Those are very important to know about.
