Patient Counseling - OOC Topic

Most of the pulling was his gravity powers, not him. All he had to do was hold onto the guy. 

[Ghidora131]

Well, he just made a move that rivals the stupidity of the Asylum staff.

[Dane-gerous]

That is impossible.

[Ghidora131]

Nothing is impossible at The Asylum, Dane.

 

 

Nothing.

[Nato G]

Fade's actions have been perfectly sensible. It's your attempts at railroading him that are stupid. 

[Not Quite Dead]

Nothing is impossible at The Asylum

 

Getting off the train seems to be.

[IcarusBen]

The guards around Metru Nui were given explicit "shoot on sight" orders. If I was a Matoran, and I saw giant Fade floating around Ga-Metru, I'd jump to "purple people eater" and shoot it down.

 

Of course, everyone seems to be forgetting that there's a BIG, GIANT BRIDGE LEADING TO GA-METRU. We had that map posted for a reason. You don't need a transport. You can swim, you can walk, there's a plethora of options.

[The UltimoScorp]

There's a bridge?

[Nato G]

You can swim, you can walk, there's a plethora of options.

 

He did swim - or rather, fly over the water.

 

But once he reaches Metru Nui, it's suddenly surrounded by an army of armed guards who weren't there the day before with orders to apparently shoot their own easily-recognisable allies on sight. 

 

 If I was a Matoran, and I saw giant Fade floating around Ga-Metru, I'd jump to "purple people eater" and shoot it down.

 

The impression I've gotten is that there are very few sane Toa left in Metru Nui, and I'm willing to bet that even fewer of them wear a Mask of Growth. Therefore I find it kind of difficult to believe that they wouldn't be able to recognise Fade, especially after he shouted out to them who he was. 

 

There's a bridge?

 

This is news to me. 

[IcarusBen]

Up there, that big black line near the lighthouse? Bridge.

 

And, again, most Metruan Matoran have been established to fear pretty much all Toa save for the new Toa Metru. Considering the recent explosions, firefights, etc, all of which I'm sure are visible from Metru Nui, I find it... unlikely that the Matoran are going to take Fade's word, at least not at first.

 

Plus, who's to say the Matoran were even expecting Fade to show up? Remember, he wasn't expected to return, and he when he was to return, it'd be by transport or by walking across the bridge. Again, seeing a giant flying Toa appear from the place that holds a whole ton of crazy Toa? I smell "KILL IT!"

 

I do call foul that it'd be "thousands of Toa," perhaps a hundred at most, and even then, that's a stretch.

We have never, at any time, being told that that was a bridge. 

 

And I've always questioned the accuracy of that map, since it says we're apparently near Ga-Koro. 

[Ghidora131]

Hyperbole, Ben. No, there aren't thousands of Matoran on the coastline. It's Hyperbole.

 

If I was being specific I would have nailed a number.

[IcarusBen]

How am I supposed to know that? Your hyperbole isn't exactly obvious, and you've never used it before outside of dialog (and I don't remember you using it in dialog) so... yeah.

 

Also, I didn't think you'd needed to be told it was a bridge, I assumed it'd be fairly obvious from the big line sticking out of the island that couldn't be anything but a bridge.

[Nato G]

That black line could've been literally anything.

 

It isn't labelled, and neither of you GMs have ever once mentioned the existence of a bridge. 

[Voltex]

Eman knew it was a bridge.

 

But Eman also says every word backwards, so

[Ghidora131]

When people hear there's an egdirb heading out from the niam dnalsi, they're gonna want to kcik Eman in the stnap.

I kind of assumed that it was something like that, but since it wasn't labeled, I was also entertaining the possibility that it was an airstrip of sorts, making it so that the patients were actually flown onto the island itself before the transports would take them the rest of the way to the actual facility.

[Ghidora131]

Maybe it was a rainbow!

 

*gets shot*

[The UltimoScorp]

Honestly I figured it was a Dock.

 

Since it was in the water.

[Not Quite Dead]

Even I knew it was a bridge, you guys need to read between the lines.

[Nato G]

you guys need to read between the lines.

 

I don't suppose this is a thinly-veiled reference to 135 always seeing lines everywhere? 

[Not Quite Dead]

It isn't but I will claim it is.

[Nato G]

Ah, I see...

[Ghidora131]

We have about 17 more posts in the discussion topic than the IC topic.

 

Get postin people

[Tea-rex]

Nah.

Fine, you asked for this~

[Ghidora131]

To answer your question, Sil, it's to prevent people from saying what the [censored word].

 

That's all.

[Nato G]

So.... I've waited a couple of days, and apparently that ridiculous post you made in response to Fade wasn't a bad joke after all.

 

I have no idea how I'm supposed to respond to such blatant and unrealistic railroading, since whatever I do is clearly going to end with Fade either being killed or sent back to the Asylum. 

[Ghidora131]

Don't worry, Fade won't die. Not here, at least.

 

If he wants to get in, though, he should probably take the bridge and be prepared to do quite a bit of talking.

[The UltimoScorp]

Well it's been.... Fun, I guess, but I think I'm done here.

 

I joined on a whim, and wanted to do three things.

 

Escape(which I did)

 

Kill the monster(which I did)

 

And become a Turaga(which I did)

 

 

So yeah bye guys.

[Ghidora131]

You 1. Escaped unrealisticly

 

You 2. Never killed the monster, the blow was from Sal

 

You 3. Became a Turaga

 

 

Accomplished 1 of 3.

[silo]

His escape seemed pretty realistic, reading the post...

[The UltimoScorp]

Not my fault the guards didn't have any methods for stopping me beyond electric grenades.

 

The blast unleashed on the monster was not only elemental nova blast, but infused with Toa energy. Regardless of whether it was the final blow, it likely did the most damage.

 

That said, with everyone being super powered again, there's just nothing left for this game to offer me.

Do you ever consider how much of a complete jerk you look like -before- you make a post? Like, read it over and think, "man do I really need to say this?"

[Voltex]

I just want to shove wood chips down somebody's throat.

 

I mean, uh

 

I have no goals at all

Come and help murder Halmos!

Well, yes, that would be the reason it was censored. My question was more why that specific word was censored as, at least where I live, the word itself isn't really considered offensive. Anyway, never mind, this is a discussion for another time.

[shadow pridak money gang]

this is what i meant by open contempt

[Voltex]

Eman shall provide whatever aid is possible.

As for Kotak's "escape," that did kinda go against the whole "he has a chip in his brain" thing we agreed on. Yes, Nyhe put in a failsafe, but it was never triggered. So... yeah.

 

Plus, if the weapons used by the guards to stop Kotak were electricity-based, doesn't water conduct electricity really well?

[The UltimoScorp]

In small quantities, yes.

 

In large quantities, like in the situations like an ocean, or a bay, or a lake?

 

It would disperse too quickly to do any damage to large creatures.
