Techna Network Relay

I'll never make it so that a character can never be retrieved- I just want to make it hard. :PI will be playing the defenses, so best of luck to you.

Thank you. We'll need it :PI'm sure there will be plenty of drawbacks and many traps/things we won't be expecting. I look forward to interacting with you.

Uuuh I just thought of something. Where is the entrance/s to the prison...? What's it like...?

@those performing the rescue mission: hacking into the surveillance system and such might help.

So, have Ga'mal and co. actually done anything yet? I'm lost in the massive wave of new pages.

We've already thought of the surveillance system although what other systems there would be yet is unknown, only to be decided by TKI once it starts. Hacking into those will have to be quick, on the spot and probably harder than your average surveillance system. Thanks for the tip, though

oh, must have missed that. This rp moes so fast.What about any electronic door systems?

I don't believe that will be all too necessary since we have someone controlling an ADR. I'm pretty sure they're granted safe passage but just as a precaution, we'll heed your advice on door systems, Kovolta. Thank you

@ ^ : Alright.Meant to say this a while ago.

"A computer specialist, hired as a historian, who doubles as his own data-gatherer and projectionist. Fascinating."

And in regards to Amnchey's Fiance: An-fell ... _{sorry X|}

I'm going to be absent for a while due to taking a community college placement test. Here's to hoping I haven't been spending too much time running Techna. :lookaround:EDIT: Apparently, I have to take a different test -- but I don't know what test it is, when it's held, or what it contains. Scratch my absence.

I think TX saw it, but I'm not sure...Also, what is the name of the restaurant in the game?-Mef

There's a couple restaurants, which one? =PThere's 'The Glitch Paradox', and a couple others IIRC.

This post will be updated by me to reflect all player owned businesses. Locations will be added as I learn them.

^ Great Idea!

OOC: thanks to Kovolta for some inspiration

OOC: For the record, Kovolta, thus far you've only been accessing information. Trying to edit that information is going to be much more difficult, as Awk's security clearance isn't high enough nor his ID correct for him to open files, stop downloads, or even upload new information.

OOC: Why wouldn't S-Toran have destinies? They're just as alive as real Matoran.

OOC: Is Data alive?

thus allowing hover-taxis to be driven automatically without crashing

Data, the character from Star Trek: Next Generation.Matoran were created by the Great Beings, extremely powerful beings and basically the closest thing to divinity in the Bionicle storyline. They were able to build a robot that could slap Unicron across the face. The creation of the S-Toran was done by Matoran, and they were made even more like machines then before.To say an S-Toran is a Matoran is the same as saying Data, or any other android, is a human being.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

Good idea, TLZ; thanks.Okay, Ga'mal and others to: The Glitch Paradox!-Mef

I see your point, but I would sill have to disagree with you... whatever...

It appears there are many more pages to the gaming topic...I'm not sure if I have the time for RPGs, or even Bzpower anymore. To be honest, I only took up the position of co-GM because I am a friend of LL and because he asked me if I wanted the position.In these past five days, however, I have not been a co-anything in the least. If it were not for my hunger for power and rank, I would give up my position in this game... but I cannot be certain that I can fill the position as well as another could.-Skar

So Forcyte's leaving S&D, what's going to happen to Awk?

I know. That's what I'm pointing out - the S-Toran are as much of a Matoran as an android is a human.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

OOC: Nobody gets my Monty Python joke. Shame.

OOC: A query for the GMs: Do any of you keep track of the time in-game? Or may we assume it's just good 'ol RPG time as usual?

Actually, I was wondering about that because I've been assuming it's lunch break for Gentii...He has planned to visit the prison after work. So assuming work stops for him in a few hours from lunch, I'm thinking of timeskipping to match everyone else. Or something like that.

^ Great Idea!

OOC: thanks to Kovolta for some inspiration

Your welcome! :biggrin:In what did I inspire you?

Are Blackouts considered ingenious?

There are possibly hundreds of ways to trigger a blackout and hundreds of steps that make up those various possibilities. Programming is all about sub-routines that combine to form a single action. You can't just cause a blackout; you have to, for example, enter the SCPU and terminate all connections to outside devices. But in order to enter the SCPU you have to get through its password and ID checks. In order to do that, you need a password-discovering program. For the password-discovering program to work, you need to either find a "backdoor" connection to the server or find a way to bypass the password limit. The list of sub-routines goes on.To find an "ingenious" hacking solution, I mean you need to be able to formulate strategies that use very efficient sequences of sub-routines.

And in regards to Amnchey's Fiance: An-fell ... _{sorry X|}

My bad...was really fun, though.

Digging this up: So I've been busy since I tried to have Amnchey set her little mega-virus into motion. I was planning on doing a lot more, and then life happened. So, any response to that, or should I just pick up the thing where I left it?

All the coding junk instead of simply trying to guess passwords.-Dovydas

OOC: Niiiice, Kovolta. You're making me wish I had a Hacker character so I could do fancy stuff like that. I probably should make a Hacker character, come to think of it... right now Dovy is the only co-host with a Hacker-aligned character.OOC: Darn it, Kovolta, now you have me using that format. XD

Okay, Drone 2's hacking into the prison network. Needs a password. Tried three and no one responded. King or someone else, could you show me what to do?-Mef

Ignotus is hacking the 'You are Here' computer yet again. Only it's a different computer this time.

Wow, I never thought the Glitch Paradox would be as popular as it is. I must be doing something right! -Void

Well I've revealed my plan for the next few months of the RPG. I was reluctant to do it, since now half the characters, thanks to metagame, will end up being against my characters to stop if from reaching completion.But hey. Whatever. -Toa Levacius Zehvor

I wouldn't be so quick for people to metagame but then again, I could be wrong. On a side note: about how much distance does a bio cover up?

Not everyone will. But the fact remains that if even one person comes, it's because they know something they shouldn't have known.Like you Dovy. -Toa Levacius Zehvor

On a side note: about how much distance does a bio cover up?

Look, my character saw yours through the window.Now, there might've been some other reason a guy with knives and a gun on his back was in a CEO's office, but what would you do?So please, will you stop complaining unfoundedly?
