Krayzikk Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Implying things like selt would rid this rpg of much of it's mystery.Implying passive aggressive messages isn't very productive. And, in fact, referring to a Steltian would in fact prove Stelt's existence. Seeing as we only have two named locations in existence, and a few places that can be inferred due to some characters' foreign status, it would indeed rid the game of some of its mystery. It's a bit like revealing America to Age of Exploration Europeans. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

NorikSigma Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Unless the Steltians are given a new name that's not origin-centric. And besides, we're too far into the game history to suddenly have a new species without questions popping up from the local populace.

Canis Lycaon Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Or, we could use one of the two options here: 1. Steltian refers to something completely different than the island of Stelt, or 2. The character never refers to themselves as a Steltian, and nobody knows what they are. PS - I'm pretty sure there were Steltians last arc. EDIT: Yep, here. First profile, and it's mashed together with another because of the coding messup. Edited January 29, 2014 by Canis Lycaon I used to have a banner here. But that RPG is dead. What now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayzikk Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Last arc, we also had dragons, mermaids, and giant bat creatures attacking Le-Koro. And Matau had an ejection panel. Additionally, if you read the profile topic, you'll find many that do not fit the rules. Last arc really isn't a good frame of reference for what we should have this arc.

NoReturnPoint Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ok, another newbie question here I'm not usually a bandwagon jumper, but since I'm new to this, and it'd help me gain experience in RPG writing by playing with more experienced players; are there any large groups-taverns-places of high interaction at all times- that I could join? -NRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowhawk Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well, villages in general usually have higher PC (player-character, in case you didn't know) counts than the outlands. Taverns and restaurants are quite popular gathering spots, it seems; I'd suggest you just have your character walk in to some random nondescript establishment, buy a drink, and then add an OOC 'open for interaction' note. Alternatively, you could answer someone else's 'open for interaction' note. I think Voxumo (currently going by 'Vox in a Box') has a rather interesting character currently open for interaction somewhere in Le-Koro? A big, four-armed insectiod personage with translucent armor and a pretty unique background, if I remember correctly. So basically, just keep an eye on the location topic your character's currently in, figure out where most of the active RPing is taking place, and then just jump right in. If nothing else, it'll most likely net you a bit of in-game conversation. BZPRPG profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Established inns and bars (Takea in Ga, Lavapool Inn in Ta, etc.) tend to draw players in, as people prefer using said locations. Likewise events draw in players due to the Daedra Syndrome (Which basically means that people hop on the first plot line they can find). However, the activity at each varies. In short, I'd suggest the same as Shadowhawk. Take a look around the topic and see where people are at the moment.

The Lorax Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Not many, which is why the syndrome is still around. Any whiff of plot important events and characters will smell it and come running from a whole different wahi. At one point, Nuju did threaten to bring Rahkshi down on characters who poked their noses into his business, and that seemed to work fairly well. Short of that, though... well, you could try asking nicely OOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emzee Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Welp. ... At least I didn't leave any plot threads hanging. Sorry for my absence guys. Between my full time job and my attempt at trying some new things (and trying some new TV shows, and video games...), I've been having trouble following the BZPRPG closely enough to post news. I'm thinking of at least putting a link to Mata Nui Weekly up on my News post, so at least there will be another (likely more dependable) source on what's happening. Speaking of which, if there's anything huge I should know about now that I'm RPing again, please let me know. I really have gotten very behind on the BZPRPG storyline and I at least want to get some things right. Also, no I'm not officially giving up on the Mata Nui Daily, but it is unlikely I'll have time to keep track of BZPRPG events often enough to continue updating it. By all means, if you current events that the players should know about, PM them to me and I'll try and get them posted in a timely manner. Thanks, y'all!

EmperorWhenua Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Pop culture has no place in Dasaka castes. If someone is an entertainer as a sole profession they would be considered dishonorable and roughly a saihoko, since they spend their time doing entertainment rather than contributing to the workforce constructively. Entertainment is fleeting and not permanent, so it's not a viable profession. Plus, because it's a caste system, a family who's trade is entertainment would forever live in a state of this lower standing with no hope for elevation to honor. Anyone, however, can be an entertainer as a hobby, providing they do nt sacrifice their real job for that hobby.

Rorschach the Absolute Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) In tradition caste societies entertainers are akin to slaves and lowest lows.
