Six Kingdoms: Escapement - OOC Discussion

maybe next time will go differently...

We'll see.

That's two-for-two for Dark Hunters talking their way out of Toa trouble.

Sometimes communication really is the answer.

I might need to make a new character, since Thom's gotta lay low.

Glad to finally get a start in here! Anyone in/have plans to be in Ko-Metru anytime soon?

Not as of yet, but depending on if I decide to cave and make a new guy, you might soon.

Well, keep me informed! It seems like it's gonna be fairly lonely in Ko-Metru otherwise, at least for the next bit.

@Dane your prefix is one letter off, mate. "Fe-" is the prefix for iron, Fa- is magnetism

i might make a new character and throw 'em into Ko-Metru, but i'll have to plan them out first

darnit i always get them confused, sorry.

bah, it's fine. just letting you know. it's weird the two have such similar prefixes

Today is the 21st, and that means only one week ago SKE was approved for play. I had no idea SKE would do so well, or that you all would turn out to show so much love for Bionicle RPGs. In the past week we've reached six pages of writing together, over 200 posts, and broke two pages of character profiles. The IC, Character Profiles, and OOC topics for SKE have been the top three featured topics on BZPower since launch. 

It's been so awesome to read the stories you are all making, and I'm exciting to see how this alternative universe of Metru-Nui concludes in March. I will continue to do my best to keep up with your breakneck pace for adventures. If you have any requests or plot ideas I want you to know I love hearing them. 

Here's to another few months of fun!

It's been great so far. It's nice having something fast-paced to help breathe some life back into the forums.

i've been having a blast, seeing so many players come together and watching the rpg go from being an idea in the planning and request threads to this is pretty amazing

I've only made a couple posts so far but I'm having a great time. Thanks for running the game!

It's pretty... alright.  

I'm enjoying the quick pace of the game a lot.

"I'm Commander Shepard, and Six Kingdoms is the best RPG on the Citadel!"

BZPower dot com? They can’t possibly have my game

i have special interests 

Look. Look for your special interests. 

MY GAME!

It's always fun to start something fresh. The BZPRPG has a lot of history and balance but sometimes you want to stretch your legs for a little bit, give your alternate dimension characters guns and power armor and an airship, and go wild for a bit. I'm honestly surprised at the pace of things so far. Feels like 2011 all over again, in both good ways and bad ways.

If this is the pace everyone plans on keeping all I can say is we hit the kickstarter stretch goals: more puzzles, more characters, more plots, more ethical dilemmas!

ethical dilemmas are my favorite dilemmas

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the following is a list of player groups and missions currently being attempted:

• Onu-Metru disc hunters on level 7 of the archives
• Onu-Metru dark hunters waiting for the moment to strike Stannis and Knichou
• Onu-Metru vahki response interacting with witnesses and participants in the fight surround Nuparu's murder
• Ga-Metru disc hunters are roaming the streets
• Ko-Metru disc hunter has reached the first puzzle
• Metru-Nui faction (Orieus, Iona) is beginning assault on an island to gain access to communications array
• League faction is engaged with hostile airships in the silver sea traveling to last known Nynrah airship coordinates

I want to make sure I stay up to date on the events! If there's anything I'm missing or if you haven't heard from me in a day regarding a post feel free to PM me about it.

PUZZLE REACHED. The Cartographer is going to go dig out his Nathan Drake costume now.

i think you've got everything--certainly a lot to keep up with 

Sounds like everything to me.

For the onu-metru disc hunting team, have you actually left the elevator vestibule and begun walking through the archives or are you still at the landing?

if i'm correct we're in the hallway proper now

Okay I finally got the approved list of characters updated. If you need to find anyone they should be there now. 

What was that about next time, Nale?

what onu-metru's about to look like in a moment

Heh, you guys brought guns to a sword fight.

wanted to mention I'm intentionally keeping Nale's usage of her Kakama in combat to a minimum, mainly just using it as a travel thing, since otherwise I could just be straight up using it as teleportation lite. she's moving at normal speed to avoid the attack/get behind Thom, a lot could happen there

I'm having it so she just succeeds here, since Thom wasn't expecting her to do that and I'd say the Kakama has at least some form of a minor speed boost. 

works for me

Wow, I miss one day and there's a whole page. I'll try and get a post up as soon as you can.

this rpg moves pretty fast

Yeah, I haven't seen something move this fast for years, it feels good.  

Also, for the Leaguers, is it ok if Mazor keeps at the other two ships or should he turn around 

Wow, it got late after catching up, I'll post tomorow.

Hey, guess what, it's Monday in the GMs side of the world. Which means... MORE DARK HUNTER HITS:

• Go Kill Vhisola. She's a Ga-Metruvian student with a blog that's been gaining popularity for her anti-government message.

Also, here's what I'm tracking from the past week in SKE:

Onu-Metru:

• Hunters of the Great Disc are on level seven. They're discovered bohrok in stasis tubes past a construction zone.
• Dark Hunters and toa fight for supremacy of an elevator shaft up to the surface level docks where Knichou's airship is waiting to take off.
• Vyarik and Arkius have a one on one duel. They are surprisingly well matched.
• The vahki are about to say, "am I a joke to you?"

Ga-Metru:

• Disc hunters consider breaking and entering into the Great Temple rather than walking through the front door.
• Triki's hoverbike is impounded for improper parking.

Ko-Metru:

• The Alpinist and The Cartographer put their heads together to solve the puzzles in the Ko-Metru Hideaway in hopes of finding the region's great disc.

Po-Metru:

• Okuo hacks the planet, discovers Toa Tuyet is likely murdered and Lhikan and Nidhiki probably did the deed. Uses Ko-VPN to hack the vahki hive network.

Silver Sea:

• Metru-Nui assaulted an island taken by the League at dawn, attempting to secure purchase on the rocky beach for a safe landing zone. The fight rages on.

South of Destral:

• The Ripple and its passengers are harried by a group of visorak in airships that fly now. They fly now? They fly now.

Am I missing something? Let me know! Happy start of week three. As always, I'm blown away by the amount of traction this game has gained, and how committed you all are to keeping up this pace.
