Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hm... If Waves wins, I might actually join. It will be the first time in what? Six months since I've last roleplayed here? This contest looks very promising, despite the disappointing lack of IoP.Then you should definitely vote for it. It's mimicking the power of the Mask of Charisma.Y'know Jedi Mind Tricks? It's basically those, except it works on anyone (excluding Toa of Psionics).Mask of Charisma makes people see things your way. All it does is give you supernatural Charisma.Kal is already antisocial and suspicious.He's just like that.That's why he's making a base in the forest.Lev's character can help.Rule #1. Kill everything that doesn't look like it's from the Matoran Universe.Including that Agori guy who's only alive because he's an alien spy.(How's that for paranoid, Vorex?)Rule #2. Kill anything that looks creepy, even if it's from the Matoran Universe.Rule #3. Kill anyone who makes duck faces or says 'swag'.Rule #4. Trick everybody you don't like to make a duck face or talk about swag.Rule #5. Only Rock will be allowed (Country doesn't really fit, so we can't have that). No polka, rap, or polka rap.Rule #6. Kill anyone who sings polka rap.-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...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 When I'm looking for a name, I just stick the words I want it based on in an online Latin translator and combine whatever pops out into a single word that looks about right to be a word. Except for Waves. All of those names were just cool syllable combinations. For a DH/Toa War RPG, I got - Atrena ObvirumRPG voting order for me (not exactly reflecting the best written RPG or best concept, just what my voting order will be based on what I think will be fun) is -Waves of the South (Default)~~~Goodbye InnocenceTransformation AND The Shifting SandsKirse: City of the Great BeingsFatal Error AND City of the DeadAfter those Magnificent Seven it's basically throwing darts at the board. If we need to vote for eight in the preliminaries I'll probably go with Desolation or Dusk Coliseum.I dunno if I'll go Shifting Sands or Transformation in the final. Hopefully only one makes it and I don't need to worry about that. :PBut yeah, we still have a lot of time left. That's highly susceptible to change.-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...
The Lorax Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Here's my pecking order for voting:Transformation (obviously).Goodbye Innocence.Waves OR Sands. Maybe I should just go to the beach.Space where CotD would have beenSurrender unto the HiveKirse: City of the Great BeansThe rest. No offense, but these entries don't tickle my fancy in the same way.That's just the current order.

Grantaire Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) 1: Strike from the Shadows.2/3: The Shifting Sands.2/3: Surrender Unto the Hive.4: Isolation.5: Fatal Error.6: Goodbye Innocence.7: Transformation.8: Waves of the South.9: Kirse: City of the Great Beings.10: Troubles of Dawn.11/12/13/14:Dusk Coliseum11/12/13/14:Scourge11/12/13/14:Desolation11/12/13/14:Makutalypse.I have reasons for choosing each. For instance, Transformation, Goodbye Innocence, and Waves of the South were very well written, but the themes didn't really appeal to me. However, I ranked Isolation for instance because of its Hunger Game imitation, which I want to see in bionicle form, as bad working as it may be (seriously, try working starvation and weaponlessness with toa of plantlife, water and iron).And of course my top three are there for these reasons:Strike from the Shadows: I'm a sucker for the T/DH war theme, the reason why I ditched CotD for it.Shifting Sands: Kal has a good reputation as a GM, and the theme is excellent.Surrender unto the Hive: Vahki, Metru Nui, enough said. Great theme. Edited June 12, 2012 by Zarayna: The Quiet Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I need to give a reason for my choices? Fine.Waves of the South - Because I like the concept, and I'm shamelessly biased.Goodbye Innocence - This provides an interesting set up for some of my characters, and I think it'll be enjoyable if it wins. To all IoP players out there, this place will provide an excellent place for reuniting.Transformation AND The Shifting Sands - The first provides a better story and more motivation, but the second provides an interesting, IoPesque set up that I imagine would be quite enjoyable. Not as keen on either as the previous, and not sure which one I'd prefer.Kirse: City of the Great Beings - This one, again, provides an interesting setup, but I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it as much as the ones up above.Fatal Error- Looks like it'll be a decently fun RPG if it wins, but I'm gonna need to make a lot of Portal references and that could get tedious after a long enough time period. I really don't want to worry about that. City of the Dead also held this spot, but I don't know how good the Toa/DH war one is going to be so meh.EDIT: Krayzikk, what is your favorite element? -Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited June 12, 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...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, just send them over whenever ya' feel like Krayzikk.I've got three profiles finished for Goodbye Innocence, and just those total a little short of 3000 words. Anyone who can write me up a 1000 word character profile certainly gets extra credit. :PAs for psionics, you couldn't actually do that because psionic mind control is limited to what your enemies want to do. Like a Suggestion spell - you could make a thief whose watching a noble walk by and waiting to slip his coin purse act a little sooner and get themselves caught, because they really want to, but they know better. You're just removing that.@Vorex, Yes, yes I do as a matter of fact. I will make Portal references as frequently as I can.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I MIGHT be tempted to allow Aclaraung into WotS if he had a... oh, let's say 550 word profile. I wrote a freaking 1100 word for Levacius in GI, and they're on the same power level.
