But if the plants have been dead some time, then why aren't they withering? 

 

They are withering, but they haven't "withered to a crisp" because they're inside the lighthouse, not exposed to the harsh, salty ocean breeze. And Exxan didn't use the vines on their own to tie up Shield, he braided them together into a rope. 

 

I don't know if you're ever tried that, but if you plait some dead grass or vines together, the end result is surprisingly sturdy.

I can vouch for that.

Darn it, Johnrahk, Shark is too good. I curse him at every turn.

From what I have seen, Shark can play and deceive plenty of folk. I just hope that no one plays cards with the guy.

Speaking of cards, anyone ever thought about what face cards would be if there was a deck of cards in the MU?

[Khromatose]

Bullseye has his own set of poker cards. He actually played a game with Omega once as well.

I'm pretty sure Sliver out-logic-ed Shark at the start of the assignment. He's good, but he's not the best. 

 

Not at everything, at least. 

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

Ok, Arctic has made the suits. Now I'm just guessing what the face cards would be.

Something to add to the agenda: Have Sidonas play cards with Bullseye. Anyone up for Blackjack? I'll give some gadgetry to the winner.

[Khromatose]

That's true. The game never got to that point. It's still up for decision.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

Darn it, Johnrahk, Shark is too good. I curse him at every turn.

 

Thank you. I hope it wasn't too over-the-top/metagamey. Fang is of no small renown, I feel, and I think Shark's listened in on some of Fang's angry rants... Was it the fight with Caoutchouc? I don't quite remember... But I think his knowledge is justified.

What, over the scouts thing? Shark could have fought harder, but fewer scouts means easier time killing Silver, so there's no good reason to.

I'm just thinking of face cards as certain races. Like say, Skakdi as a Jack for example, or a Vortixx as a Queen, not sure what a King could be.

[Wyrd Bid Ful Araed]

not sure what a King could be.

A Makuta, obviously

[Khromatose]

Now that's settled.

 

Jack = Skakdi

Queen = Vortixx

King = Makuta Teridax, cuz who doesn't want their head on a playing card.

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

You sure it would be Teridax? A Makuta makes sense, but why not-

Never mind.

In another news and ideas, wondering if someone, through some manner, could convince Tridax to play cards? I get how there are 42 ways he could "convince" you to win or use a tactic to know what your cards are, but the concept seems interesting nevertheless.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

He might do it for science. Test the intellect of the students against his own, a sort of benchmark.

[Not Quite Dead]

This scheming... and Cao is powerless to act ;__;

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

Someone tell Ultron to set up something like a benchmark, look at the results, then have all the intellectuals, geniuses, inventors, scientists, and all the rest of the lot with a high IQ and have them go against him in some brain games. A few card games, a MU version of chess, a few riddles, puzzles, quizzes, and maybe a strategy war simulator.

Anyone else want to challenge the dear headmaster? I certainly will.

 

And Johnrahk? Shark's method of negotiation to get the flag? You are clever my friend.

If Sido were not one to have morals, and if Recoil was not the hostage, I could see him going along with this completely.

I would have to nominate the Steltian Elite race for the "Jack" position instead of the Skakdi (they seem more like an Ace due to their unpredictability), but I agree with the other two nominations.

[McNugget]

Hey Ultron, Nightmare Needs a Palma post.

Yeah. I believe the Skakdi would work better as the Joker card.

[McNugget]

I think Queen should be Gorast, Jack should be some servant of Makuta, and King should be Teridax

[Timageness]

Maybe the entire deck should be focused on the Bionicle villains?

 

King - Teridax

Queen - Roodaka

Jack - Sidorak (ugh...)

Ten - The Shadowed One

Nine - Karzahni

Eight - Voporak

Seven - Zaktan

Six - Pridak

Five - Irnakk

Four - Nocturn

Three - Nidhiki

Two - Krekka

Ace - Tuyet

Joker - Vezon

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

Vezon is definitely the Joker. I don't know about the numbers though, are you ranking them from greatest evil to least?

Edited March 15, 2015 by Johnrahk

[Timageness]

The majority of them were given cards that I felt were symbolic to the character in question. For example:

 

The top three are the ones I see more as rulers, which is really the only reason that Sidorak has his position, to be honest.

Voporak has time powers, and the number eight is an infinity symbol turned on its side.

Zaktan is the "leader" of the Piraka, of which there are seven (if you count Vezon).

Tuyet is where she is because of the Nui Stone, her "Ace in the Hole."

Krekka is where he is because his number perfectly matches his IQ, and Nidhiki's right there next to him because they're both basically comic-relief villains.

Vezon's a complete anarchist, and is absolutely hilarious (at least in my opinion, anyway), sort of like another character that takes after his card (and I could totally see Mark Hamill voicing him as well, but that's going off topic).

 

I was also working under a set of rules, such as the characters had to be a being that was known as a villain in the MU (which excludes Tuma and Velika) that were straight-up villains (no Brutaka or Vakama) and weren't beings that had to be dealt with for doing their "job" (Bohrok/Kal, Bahrag, Mask of Life Guardians, Maxilos robots, Vahki, Hydraxon, etc.). The others were ranked on how cool they were; The Shadowed One and Karzahni take top spots, Pridak is somewhere in the middle because he removed one of Nocturn's arms, and Irnakk doesn't officially exist (that we know of, anyway).

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

Ah, I see.

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

And I was just going to use Matoran numbers for numbers.

Great job organizing those Timageness

[Timageness]

All this talk of a deck of cards based off of Bionicle is making me want to go make one now, maybe two if I wanted another one modeled after the heroes as well...

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

So, who is up for a game of cards Corpus Rahkshi style? Poker anyone? I'm sure I can think of some way to cheat if I were playing against a Makuta.

[Khromatose]

Bullseye would gladly replicate his deck of cards and start a card competition.

Edited March 16, 2015 by ArcticFreeze17

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

Well, looks like you'll have to add a certain inventor into your party when the assignment is over, cause' you can count me in as far as cards, games, and puzzles are concerned. Heck, maybe with enough brain tests Sido will actually get to level 3 soon.

[Dane-gerous]

RIP Shield.

Also, Toa Omega confirmed for wearing Ruru.

You heard it here.

Well, at least a Pakari SHAPED like a Ruru.

[McNugget]

I feel like making cards In real life as well...

 

Bionicards.

[user-402520536]

WOH... I'm out for two days and so much happens. Can someone bring me up to speed?

[Dane-gerous]

people were kidnapped.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

Shark's told Fang that if he doesn't get the flag, Shadow dies. Negotiations are in session, so just keep Cao from interfering

Edited March 16, 2015 by Johnrahk

[McNugget]

I have a Character named Nightmare who made a Friend.

[Sassy Dalmation]

There was a spar involving a kraata being launched at a Rahkshis face and knives being seen as flowers due to fear powers and insanity.

 

Also, I may need a Palma post.

Edited March 16, 2015 by Wielder-of-Shadow

[Click]

Generally, you can assume Palma fixed you up and just leave the Infirmary. The only times where you might want to wait for a Palma post would be if you have some severe injury or other special circumstances. It just keeps things moving since Ultron can't be on all the time.

[Sassy Dalmation]

Okay. Thanks.

[McNugget]

Well I didn't know dat!

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

Rule one of surviving Corp Rahk: Palma healings never need an Ultron post if it is something minor.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

Just so you know, Wielder, the Gym can respond to mental commands and change form to whatever you request. That means yes, there are dummies in the Gym if you need them. It also means, technically, you can manipulate it to your advantage in a spar (for example, creating a pool of water to throw your opponent in). But it's generally frowned upon to do this sort of thing.
