Friar Tuck was a member of the BZPower Staff.
History[edit | edit source]
In 150,080 CMT, Friar Tuck was approached by User MK, who begged him to rally the BZPower Staff in order to prepare for an attack on BZPower that he felt was imminent. Friar Tuck responded by reminding User MK that the Users were responsible for the recent upheavals on BZPower, adding that he was glad that he shut down the BZPB topic before its players or characters could cause even more chaos. In addition, Friar Tuck stated that he was unconvinced that BZPower would be facing another threat on the magnitude of Blackout, because Blackout had left and the only remaining troublemakers on the planet were "a few weirdos" in the Completely Off Topic subforum. However, User MK continued to insist that he was sure that both Black Six and himself could sense something evil coming to BZPower, which he was sure was the same evil that had scared Blackout away. Eventually, Friar Tuck relented, promising User MK that he would contact the other admins to ensure that the citizens of BZPower were ready to fight, because evacuating the planet was not an option that any of them were prepared to take.[1]
When Blackout returned to BZPower in the form of Darkmount and fired blasts of Unicron energy at the planet,[2] Friar Tuck was surprised to see Darkmount because he thought that he had closed the BZPB topic, but he grabbed a banhammer and began to fly towards Darkmount in order to shut it down regardless.[3] However, his ascent was promptly interrupted by Chikato, who stole his banhammer before teleporting away.[4] After taking a moment to curse the "illegal RPG players", Friar Tuck sent private messages across the planet that caused several BZPower admins to appear by his side. Friar Tuck and the admins climbed aboard Skyboards and launched themselves towards Darkmount,[5] but Blackout immediately stopped the Skyboards in mid-air via telekinesis and threw them into a building.[6] Upon seeing Friar Tuck injured, Black Six threatened to ban User MK if he did not get rid of Blackout.[7]
In 150,081 CMT, Friar Tuck was in a room on Wiki Metru with several other BZPower Staff members that Muta teleported into while searching for Yon. Muta kicked Friar Tuck, sending him flying backwards into a chair, before taking on the other staff members.[8]
In 150,082 CMT, Friar Tuck sent a holographic message to TPK to inform him that he had learned that the Users were planning to overthrow Black Six. After TPK announced that he would send troops to BZPower to respond to the threat, Friar Tuck ended the transmission.[9]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Friar Tuck was based on a real BZPower staff member of the same name, who in turn named himself after the character Friar Tuck in English folklore. His profile was formerly located here but has since been deactivated.
- On April 23rd, 2010, Friar Tuck closed the BZPower Battles forum topic on BZPower for violating the rules of the Games & Trivia subforum (simple play-by-post games were allowed in Games & Trivia, but by that time BZPB had grown into a full-blown role-playing game. RPGs were only allowed to be hosted in the Role-Playing Games subforum, and even then they had to be approved by that subforum's moderators first). Moments before Friar Tuck closed the BZPB topic, he made a post where he explained that he had chosen to close it because it violated the subforum rules, though he did give the topic a respectful "moment of silence" first (complete with a salute emoticon) because it had managed to accumulate over two hundred posts, which was an impressive milestone for any topic on BZPower.
