Eyru Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 If you have too many characters, then just shorten your profiles and put all the excess details on the wiki. It's not like anyone really needs to know how many widgets your character owns, but if you want that information displayed anyway, then put it on the wiki to save space. Only excess details though. All the necessary parts of the profile still need to be in the Profiles topic. Personally, I have ten characters.

They Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The "hand", "inventory" and "language" parts seem a bit unnecessary."Hand" is personally important since I'm naturally left handed: I have a predisposition to see characters as left handed more often than the other. Inventory is useful since it says what's on a character at the immediate time that another player might find useful information. At least I know it drives me crazy when I don't know what they're wearing. I can't count how many times I've found mentioning what languages a character knows to be useful in game. HOWEVER, yes Hubert, they're unnecessary. The shortest profiles I have ever had. I won't even admit to how long that took.Wat. These aren't that short.Aurora, ask someone about Draeverian Joskiir's profile from 2012.

Toatapio Nuva Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Are Toa prisoners always maskless when in captivity? I've seen some references to this, but not sure what the official way is.

Void Emissary Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Well, since a Toa's power is directly linked to their Kanohi, it's easy to presume that mask-removal would be standard procedure when it comes to prisoners of that species/race/whatever. It's been shown that this is the case in Ta-Koro, but it could vary depending on the jurisdiction. [ BZPRPG ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayzikk Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Complete disarmament for all races is the standard for Ta-Koro, including mask removal, weapon removal, and in most cases, a search for any hidden weapons. While I can't actually speak for any other villages, it'd be safe to assume that the procedure is similar there.

Yeah i remember when Voxumo was getting arrested and he had to have his mask removed.. and that was by the ussalry..Though that all races would not apply to matoran as well in regards to kanohi right? i mean since you can't remove a matoran's kanohi without them going into comatose i assume they would not remove that either?

Krayzikk Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 You're half right. Matoran can't go long without them being removed before going comatose. As a result, mask removal is skipped for prisoners who were arrested for, say, drunken behavior or shoplifting. Violent criminals would still have their mask removed, to ensure that they are too weak to be an issue. They are given a few minutes with their mask back on at regularly scheduled intervals to ensure that they don't fall into a coma.

Taking a walk would be torture, because you get a few minutes to move around, and then it's taken away. Food is torture. Talking is torture.There's a pretty specific definition of what constitutes torture, and the equivalent of a five hour energy isn't one. Now, if they were left to nearly the brink of coma and then given the mask for a few seconds, that would be torture. But as it stand a while without a mask is more like a sedative, and reserved for violent Matoran criminals.EDIT: Yes, there are certain protocols for Skakdi. It'd take far more time to write on an iPad than I want to spend, but there are procedures in place for every known species. And that includes isolating Skakdi.

shadow pridak money gang Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Panic in Obaida The Kentoku Archipelago has been pretty... quiet. Here's something to stir things up just a tad. How about no. Though it's not in the Rules and Index - even though it really should have been put there in the transition between arcs - I'd like to remind everyone that the rule from last arc about causing large-scale damage to a BZPRPG location is not allowed without prior approval from at least the head GM, and preferably at least two people. It saves everyone a lot of headache and prevents any more islands from being obliterated.

Nuju Metru Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 A tip to those of you who want to fix your posts: In the top toolbar of the post-writing box is a picture of binoculars, the "find" function. This can be used to find and replace all of a certain word, phrase, or string of BBCode. By putting in the offending phrase, leaving the "replace with" box empty, and pressing "replace all," you can delete all the BBCode at once, painlessly. You'll have to input maybe one or two BBCode phrases (one of which will certainly be "[/color]"), but it makes the process much, much easier. It took me a few topics to figure this out; don't be like me. Take the easy way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
