BZPRPG News and Discussion

I feel the Govt of Mata Nui is more like early the US under the Articles of Confederation. Seperate countries, united in trade, united against Makuta.

Replace Makuta with Europe, and it's almost the same. Roughly.

 

europe = dark eldritch god

 

...yeah, that seems fair enough

 

(unfortunately though, Makuta's decided absence creates a small flaw in your comparison)

Makuta is basically the word for evil on Mata Nui. It extends beyond just the being. After all, he was(so far) THE ultimate evil.

No but

The people aren't united against evil, that's the whole problem. That's why there were such difficulties in inter-koro politics - that's why there are still such difficulties in inter-koro politics. There is absolutely nothing that the island is standing united against.

[otter]

we need a common enemy

 

let's blame the old ones, then be moved into living metal bodies by our "gods" the c't--

 

wait wrong franchise

 

let's send somebody out to start war with the Dasaka in the hopes of unifying the Koro

[shadow pridak money gang]

I might propose Chaos as the most significant form of government. Either the fear or acceptance of it.

 

KOROS ARE A LADDAH

[They]

Someone got my reference. Many lemon cakes awarded to Tyler.

 

As for the ultimate evil why not unite against that posse of killers in Mangaia?

[Perp]

I'd propose something a little more complex. Citing one 'evil' or another as something to rally behind might be a bit bland. Perhaps the unifier can be a little more grey in nature? Something not totally evil, but more or less accepted? Might make for an interesting aftermath.

[NorikSigma]

But no one's supposed to know they're there. The only "enemy" at best would be the Piraka.

Excellent point I didn't consider.

[They]

I meant for later. You know, after they've lit half the island on fire.

[otter]

Who said that's what's going to be done?

[Athmos]

Sounds like a decently terrible idea.

[Razgriz]

We honestly need more of those.

[Athmos]

We honestly need more of those.

I was the king of those months ago.

 

From terror attacks on Po-Koro to crazy characters with a dozen personalities.

[Observedhalo]

I committed a terror attack on Po-Koro. I am still sneaking around in their prison to this day.......

[25K Now!]

Moral of the story: Don't attack Po-koro unless you have a boat.

 

Then you can wipe out half the guard.

[Athmos]

Po-Koro, not fond of water.

 

Po-Koro Military, half of them on a boat.

Also, Airships =/= Boats. That didn't turn out well either.

 

But on topic, we need to stay on topic.

[They]

Bulik, please say you've come home. We miss you here.

[NorikSigma]

Bulik...

Are you back?

[EmperorWhenua]

Bulik says to remain on topic and this is how you go about honouring his request? How about no.

[Voxumo]

Whatever happened to the roads/paths in po-wahi featured in the mata-nui online game? Were they considered canon or do they just not exist in the bzprpg's version of po-wahi since if those roads are canon they were present before the toa mata arrived hence meaning they could also have the potential to exist in our po-wahi.

 

Little late to the party i know but still

Lloyd decided to remove them during the cold war phase of the arc I suppose. Kughii, given temp control, has decided to build them.

The way I see it, they simply removed the sign stones and let nature do the rest. The sand would easily cover them over time without proper maintenance.

[25K Now!]

Have we managed to hit Hewkii with the evidence of his responsibility for the rail bombing yet?

[NorikSigma]

W-whut?

Hewkii is responsible for the bombing?

[25K Now!]

Well yeah it was pretty easy to figure out.

[NorikSigma]

Which rail bombing? Monorail? Ta-Koro one?

[25K Now!]

Ta-koro monorail yeah.

[NorikSigma]

Wasn't it an onu-matoran who hired a Toa?

[a goose]

There should be no evidence-hitting without solid evidence. We can't afford to damage inter-koro relations again.

[NorikSigma]

Yeah that's my main concern.

[25K Now!]

Bah.

 

You guys just can't handle the truth.

[Ghosthands]

Well yeah it was pretty easy to figure out.

 

A bit too easy, don't you think?

[Athmos]

The plot thickens.

 

The clues point to the Akiri of Po-Koro, but they point far too easily.

 

Solution: Le-Koro did it.

[Ehksidian]

so uh

yeah

i may or may not come back from my bout of inactivity. sorry to those who may or may not be waiting on me. i've...slightly been keeping tabs, at least.

well

on this topic that is.

[NorikSigma]

Plot Twist: A random guy decided to stir up trouble.

 

Wow! How unexpected!!11oneone

The Beginning

Ooohkay. So it's been on my plate for awhile now, and I'm finally ready to begin. The games are about to take off! If I don't start them on Saturday/Sunday, then I will begin on monday. So if you're interested in participating in a gladiator tournament for awesome prizes, send a character over right away!

[Vezok's Friend]

ATTENTION!

DASAKA WANTED

for the

IMPERIAL NAVY

To fill the ranks of the second expeditionary force to Mata-Nui aboard the

Chiisai Ryuu

The commanding officer of the Imperial Navy, Commodore Umbraline Ayiwah, is looking for

able-bodied Dasaka and Dashi to complete her compliment of crew for the expedition.

Talk the recruiting officer in the yards today and to see if you qualify.

All Clans are welcome.

-----------------

Yes, you heard right. We are looking for a few more crew-members to join in on the fun and come

along to Mata Nui on the second expedition to the recently discovered Island. Adventure awaits!

There are 6 berths open right now.

Any Dasaka characters are welcome to apply, regardless of clan affiliation or social standing,

since this is a mission that should represent the entirety of the Archipelago's people, not just the Umbraline clan.

The open berths will be spread across the different crew-departments:

Command Crew, Navigation, Engineering, Weapons and Ship Security and Supplies.

That does not mean it's impossible to have 2 people in the weapons department,

but it would be nice to have some variety =)

If you are interested, send a a PM to me (Smaug the Terrible, aka Vezok's Friend) with

"*Insert Character name* Crew Application" as the subject line.

Please provide a link to your profile post and give me a short reason why your character

should come along for the trip. 1 - 2 sentences up to a short paragraph will suffice.

Please note that the caste your character belongs to will affect how high you rank within the crew.

For example, a Dashi in the Saihoko caste could be part of the navigators, but not as an officer.

Which position exactly your character will have will be discussed with

you once the applications are reviewed 6 positions have been filled up.

Hope to see you aboard!
