How do you get benefits if your character dies?

[Silvan Haven]

I think it was the cult that got the stuff. You just supplied the body for it.

Silvan's right here, if I'm reading him correctly: benefits are for characters involved with the cult. The only real benefit to giving up a character for sacrifice is dumping a character you no longer wanted around in a sufficiently memorable way.

HEY! The Brotherhood has sacrificed a person in the past. Who was an NPC... Who had been posted as once and then never again... When the Brotherhood was running out of the Darkmine...

 

Okay, okay, okay, so they are a bit more zomby-ish.

Good luck getting past the walls with a bunch of zombies in tow.

...

You do realize there is a double agent in the force right now, right?

[Silvan Haven]

My memory of the members are a bit fuzzy, but didn't she go on the Darkwalk Quest with everybody else?

 

And even with a mole its not like they could just open the gate for you, there is always more than one Sentinel there in case one of them can not do their job.

Don't attack Po-Koro, it's never as fun as you think it'll be.

Conversation finished, I began the excruciating process of victim preparation, my nerves calm and my movements deft amidst the symphony of screaming and sobs, and my ivory smile remaining ever bright, a clenched beau idéal. Truly, it has been too long since these blood-soaked fingers have danced their lissome adagio, the waltz of the flesh.

The imagery within the post, for the interested or morbidly curious, are, respectively, an unnamed Nocturne by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Fragment of a Crucifixion, and Painting (1946), the later two composed and created by Francis Bacon. Also, perhaps most importantly, sincere apologies for the extreme tardiness in the post's execution; I most certainly hope it is worthy of the magnitude of the wait.

Still in Po. Hasn't even received training.

That's... Ridiculous.

 

Ridiculously AWESOME.

 

Though I never really imagined Hakkann like that, I think it's excellent all the same. Just... Wow.

[sunflower]

darkon can't ever never ever say that he's bad a writing.




ever again.

Just... Wow.

[25K Now!]

Ah, Hakann. How horrifying.

 

My heart burns to murder him.

 

You've done a good job at portraying sucb a truly evil being, Darkon.

[EmperorWhenua]

And guess which Maru will be ducking it out with The Bully.

 

This is going to be fun.

[25K Now!]

Oh yes, oh yes it will.

 

Also whoever owns buildings nearby, please remember if your insurance covers "intentional acts of god".

Tell me more about these "humans"

 

Are they the latest seafood dish?

 

Edited June 6, 2014 by BULiK

[25K Now!]

Might go well with Bohrok.

 

Anyway, I might see if I can join in. Maybe uh, steal a few characters to add to my uh, collection.

Late to the party, perhaps?

good luck finding the humans for it

 

:3

 

and besides, 'human sacrifice' in this case is used much in the same way as 'inhumane' could well be found in the RPG - there isn't really much in the way of equivalent terms and had I said sacrifice once more in that post I would've had to politely remove myself from Writer Land for unnecessary repetition. Since any species could potentially be sacrificed, just as any species could potentially be involved with the cult, specifying the sacrifice of Matoran or somesuch would be even less appropriate than using a real-world equivalent sentient catch-all.

 

(also, i checked, and no other terminology has quite the same ring as 'human sacrifice')

[25K Now!]

How many cults do we have anyway.

[Wotz]

Quite a few, and another on the way if I continue to fight my laziness.

 

(it's a condition i swear)

[25K Now!]

Ooh, wotz this cult about then.

Tyler, I'm posting in n&d to say you're doing good justice to the doctor. Everyone, go read ko.

Quick question, if none of the other landmasses are known about by the characters, then where did they (the characters in game) come from? And if they came from other landmasses, then why don't the characters ever mention the other landmasses?

[Athmos]

1. Good question.

2. Because the mods said so, which is an appeal to authority, but whatever.

[Geardirector]

We don't know. We assume it was somewhere, but where exactly that is is entirely up to us to eventually decide. Do our Skakdi come from Zakaz, or our Vortixx from Xia? Maybe, maybe not, they could be from somewhere else entirely for all we know.

 

If they came from other landmasses, then why don't the characters ever mention the other landmasses?

 

Same reason; nothing is set in stone, so we're encouraged to avoid the subject for when or if something more tangible presents itself.

[Vezok's Friend]

Maybe there's a reason many actually don't remember their homelands or only have fragmented memories?

[Silvan Haven]

For an IC reason, most of the character have little to no memories of before they came to the island.

[Wotz]

I like to think Makuta had some kind of barrier in place around the island that caused people to forget everything and get shipwrecked and what have you.

 

Everyone after that just hates their past or something.

[Eyru]

Just a quick heads-up to let everyone know that I'm accepting applications to join the Toa Daedra until Sunday night. At 12:00 AM on Monday, the window will close, and I will select the team. You can apply for any sin save Greed (Wrath, Pride, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, or Envy), and while you may submit a character of any species, Toa are generally preferred. You may apply with an already-existing character, or create a new one solely for the purpose of applying.

 

It should go without saying, but older/more experienced players will receive no advantage in their application. Anyone can apply; the characters will be selected solely on the originality and content of their profiles.

 

To everyone who has submitted a character already: thanks for your patience.

[NorikSigma]

It was directly stated in the 2011 Arc Rules Index tthat Makuta worked to bring them here to subvert the growing number of Toa or something. And none are supposed to remember their past.

Just don't mention anything about other landmasses, and you'll be swell.

 

I mean, I don't randomly go up to people and say: "Did you know I'm from [THIS SUBURB], Melbourne?"

[NorikSigma]

Melbourne?

...

Hubert you're making dishes up again, aren't you.

[25K Now!]

I wish I were.

 

But that's off-topic.

 

Although, the islands that Skakdi and Vortixx come from, there's a chance we might see them in the future or something. We did get Kentucky, after all.

[NorikSigma]

Yay Fauxkaz.

[25K Now!]

I'd actually love to see Skakdi land.

[NorikSigma]

Agreed. Chaos amped up to 12.

 

I shudder.

[Geardirector]

Also agreed, first Swasi Skakdiland, and then Viet Vortixnam

[25K Now!]

Eh, it'd be fun.
