shadow pridak money gang Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Look, I'm not sure you understand the tactics of this situation.You have anywhere from six to ten guards surrounding you that have guns raised and ready, and the only thing preventing you from getting a spot on Monday morning's obituary page is the fact that you have a magnetic field up that can block bullets temporarily. Once that goes down, you won't be able to sweet talk your way out of all those gun barrels.Not to mention that there's a Toa Techna and a couple MORE guards a few flights of steps above you that can easily be down there in ten seconds flat.I don't care if your boy had Albert Einstein's brain pressed into his mask with a rolling pin, you can't be that intelligent without full-on god modding.-Teezy ＳＡＹ ＩＴ ＯＮＥ ＭＯＲＥ ＴＩＭＥ ＴＥＬＬ ＭＥ ＷＨＡＴ ＩＳ ＯＮ ＹＯＵＲ ＭＩＮＤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Chronicler Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Look, I wanted it to be hard, but no, everyone's character HAS to be a bigshot escape artist who can beat up complete police forces by batting their eyebrows. :/ Mine aren't! XDAnd the only one I have who would likely be arrested is a cowardly robot who couldn't even fight his way out of a pet carrier, let alone a prison.The way I see it, the guards for anywhere there are guards, are highly trained, or they wouldn't be guards. The don't hire people with the accuracy of stormtroopers to protect things, they hire those who are skilled at it. If everyone was more skilled than the guards, then why even have guards in the first place? Guards should really be taken seriously, not as easy kills.

Blessed Blade Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well, the only character of mine who would even try to escape would be Tsuki, and they'd likely take his Mask away before locking him up so he doesn't try to escape. =PZero doesn't count; he wasn't imprisoned, he was sealed away at his own request. =P The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) @ KNII put it on hold for lack of interest from other players.Because you never expanded the search past the Toa Techna. I for one was interested, but you never let it go beyond the S&D walls.Look, I wanted it to be hard, but no, everyone's character HAS to be a bigshot escape artist who can beat up complete police forces by batting their eyebrows. :/Only one of mine. And its with lightning, not eyebrow batting. @ Hubert"Ten more minutes Kar," muttered Arkrak as he continued snoring. "I'm currently killing some kikanalo."No, that was another of your characters. @ LegoLoverOOC: Power-neutralizing technology seems rather unrealistic.Because powers are realistic? But yeah, as the others said. Such technology was shown in the story; albeit designed by the Great Beings themselves.(Also I always stripped my prisoners masks. Makes it easier. Matoran can't use their masks anyways, so they can keep them; Toa can survive without them, and it also weakens their elemental powers.)@ Tyler DurdenLook, I'm not sure you understand the tactics of this situation.You have anywhere from six to ten guards surrounding you that have guns raised and ready, and the only thing preventing you from getting a spot on Monday morning's obituary page is the fact that you have a magnetic field up that can block bullets temporarily.

So he really does have no logical way of escaping unless they really suck at hiring.@ ZomaThe way I see it, the guards for anywhere there are guards, are highly trained, or they wouldn't be guards. The don't hire people with the accuracy of stormtroopers to protect things, they hire those who are skilled at it. If everyone was more skilled than the guards, then why even have guards in the first place? Guards should really be taken seriously, not as easy kills.Guards are guards because they're being payed to be. They have advanced training. However, a guard isn't a PC. The problem with this RPG is the fact that the population of the city is so small it means that the PC population is, rather than less than 1%, about 3 or 4% of the cities overall number.Typically, what makes a PC different than an NPC isn't that you're playing it; it's that they're superior. The PCs do things nobody else can do because they're the best. A PC who is a guard isn't just a guard, he's one of the leaders amongst the group and a hero to others. On the other hand, there are NPCs who are better than the PCs, but that's why there are even less of them than PCs - leaders of factions and such.There are some exceptions, of course, where there are only PCs - and thus they're all highly powerful. On Island of Pain I made a number of comments IC about how all of the gathered beings were the best of the best at what they did, and thus could do what others couldn't dream of. And there are cases where all NPCs are the same skill level of PCs, though these are rare. Heck, in The Island we would have all been the NPC's (though who ever said that would last for long?)But yeah. Guards aren't easy kills, but they're not as skilled as players. Never send in less than 12 NPCs after a PC if you want half of them to survive. -Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited January 22, 2012 by Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is so, then I am obviously playing this game incorrectly. XDI have a failure of a weapon inventor with almost no fighting skill.A cowardly robot who's weaker than even an ADR.A waitress with a temper who doesn't even have all that good a restaurant and isn't all that impressive in a fight.And a Toa who only uses claws, and is in trouble against anyone with long range weapons.So... none of mine are the best, or even among the best at anything.And that's the way I like it, what's the point in trying to be better than everyone else?

A PC is, however, the main character. In this story, which has been dubbed by LegoLover as Techna, we are the main characters. We don't focus on the guards; they're the supporting cast of the grand play.In the end, however, it's the players that contribute to everything - when the good guys or bad guys win, it's because of the PCs. Unless it's Dovys RPG, then a bunch of NPCs who's return hadn't even been hinted at in the story suddenly pop out of nowhere and then suddenly kill the monster we were all getting excited about fighting.No bitterness here.But if your character is playing the supporting cast that's perfectly fine as well.And of course, this is LegoLovers RPG, so if he rules PCs aren't superior then that's his right to do so.
