Six Kingdoms: Escapement - OOC Discussion

there's a terrorist at large and we're all concerned with DISKS

(also whoops apparently Jutori didn't get a notification about the Dume announcement on his iStone, gotta work that in eventually. keep him in the loop)

Great Disks = Great Terrorists

since Dume said it was just a normal Terrorist, that means Great Disks > Terrorists

oh don't worry guys it's just a normal terrorist, we're good

...Is there something I am missing? Why is that a weird name?

...How is "Taku" pronounced. Is that it?

Nah, I wasn't trying to say that it was weird, just that I hadn't realized that we're going to need a name and that as always, alliteration's awesome.

chef's kiss at that stannis and knichou post

Twas good cooking. 

Boy, it's hard work being the only bad guy around. 

Guess I better start working on an escape plan.

Ok, I want to make a character that can get in on the disk hunt. And I have a matoran that I've used in RPG's before, but haven't been able to flesh out yet. Her name is Paju, She's a Ga-Matoran, and she's an adrenaline Junkie. I was thinking her Metru Nui backstory would put her in Le-Metru because she preffers the fast paced life over the classrooms.

But I also have 3 characters already, what do you guys think?

Make as many characters as you want to/you can handle. Things are really fast paced in here compared to RPGs in recent years so more characters might mean a lot of posts, so it really depends on your schedule.

@Tarn it's okay, you guys won't have to concern yourselves with disks too much longer, EW and I will have it soon!

i got four characters and i'm doin' breezy

make as many characters as you think you can handle, don't have to limit yourself. i originally told myself i'd stop at three and that didn't last at all

That's more characters to start heading for the Po-, Ta-, and Ga- puzzles! Better get a head start or we'll take those ones too!

Me watching people discuss going after the Le-Metru Great Disk when Sans is already trying to find it

Po-Metru does need some love, though

Hey everyone, I'll be adding a PC demographics document to the Character Creation topic. It's still in the works (I just got to page 3), but I thought I'd share it here too so you know about it. If you're into exploring the meta, or finding things that buck the trend, check THIS out.

Cheers!

Nice, thanks for making this. Woah, watching you edit in real time is weird lol

Edit: @Unreliable Narrator For Othorak's flaws, putting something like "Can't cope with failure" would work better than only distrustful 

oh this is cool

Oh good! That's why I made it.

I vote Yes on the Pie chart x3

i love pie charts

I'll add more charts later, but I started with two I thought were most interesting: flaws by species and gender by species. 

Currently the game has an approximate 2/3 male gender demographic. 

All things considered, that's not a terrible balance. Certainly better than the way genders were allocated in canon. 

making it a vow now that from here on all my characters will be cute girls to improve the ratio

Let's get this puzzle party started. Le- is a go. For those in Ga-, message me if you want a hint for where to go next. 

Hmmmm.... based on the info from the clue-symbols, I think Sans needs to sing the Piraka Rap to make the Great Disk manifest...

Regarding that chart: may I venture that Zecrillia's main flaw might be better categorised as impulsive recklessness? I don't see her as disloyal; in fact, by the standards of her species, she's regarded as far TOO loyal for the liking of an average Vortixx ^^

That's just a minor thing, though; otherwise, I do think it's really neat, too

Hi Everyone:

1.) I will update the demographics chart as best I can today.

2.) I added Kanohi stats

3.) Please see the following terms and conditions for the Great Disc Hunt. I've gotten several questions about the specifics of the process so I thought its time I write something up.

DUME'S GREAT DISC HUNT T&C

Those who find great discs may return them to Turaga Dume at any time for safekeeping. Once all Great Discs have been found the finders of those discs will be summoned to receive their Toa Stones as part of a ceremony. Only those who actually found the Great Disc are eligible for a Toa Stone and the rite of passage to become a Toa. Turaga Dume is the final arbiter in whether or not a disc hunter is worthy based on their displays of character during the hunt and their belief in the Great Spirit. This offer valid only while supplies last.

: ) 

Nothing like a crooked politician to bust you out of the slammer at opportune times.

From the prison to the slaughterhouse... 

did thom just get warped to the beach assault? oh boy 

Who wants to party?

Fa'amatai's headless corpse does!

Ok but seriously can someone brief me on what's happening at the beach assault so my man can get involved?

League: Defending bluffs from vahki and toa, using walking tanks with hagah cannons on them to attack airships

Metru-Nui: bum-rushing to the bluff to stop the cannons from blowing their airships up. 

Sometimes, when stuck, you gotta risk doing something stupid so that you can learn from your failure =)  If whatever lays ahead in this old chute doesn't kill Sans, he'll either conquer it, or come back later with a better joke and even stronger resolve to succeed!

I approve of his approach, but that doesn't mean he's safe. 

Mata Nui protect Sans pls O.o

Congratulations, the Onu-Metru Great Disc has been recovered! 

jutori helped

(no he didn't)

(now if he was still the conniving character i originally intended he'd swipe the disk in a comical fashion)
