Yay!

I have an account but thet changed the requirements. Now I need a "JID" with a @ domain.

The JID should just be '[username]@[domain]', I think? It worked for me logging in to JWChat. I don't fully remember what exactly it asked for before, but I think this is just putting two of the fields into one field and adding an '@' between them.

What's our domain?

NVM, figured it out.

ATTENTION ALL Y'ALL IN THE D!THREAD

Iffn Yer interested in that Raid i mentioned earlier.

Im starting that shit in like 5-30 minutes.

so heads up.

So, erm, bad news.

I talked to my mom and turns out getting the amiibo packages to Europe and such is too crazy expensive to be feasible on my end, not sure about Canada. So Phazya, Uill, that punts you two out of the betting pool for the type contest, possibly you too, Newf. -_-

However! That means I'm immediately giving you all free vouchers for me to order comissions from autobottesla of anywhere from a single mon character to a human and two mons depicting any chars of yours that fit you desire as soon as my budget allows! (read: June). This offer is effective immediately for Phazya and Uill, so go ahead and send me deets; Newf, I'm still waiting to hear back on getting your stuff to you.

And any more bets from those in the US following the rules here are very much appreciated to take their place!

Eh, too bad, wanted to place a bet, seems I'm preemtively ruled out, but just for the hell of it I'm going for:
Liger: Elektro|Fire and
Batty: Ice|Fairy

Edit: Sorry, would have posted earlier but I was more or less out cold the whole week and only posted the bare minimum that I wanted to get out.

So after thinking about it I've decided that while I might not really retire from the RP, I might just drop my current characters.

I feel like I've completed the character arcs of all of my characters (sans Allen obviously) so I feel like there's no point in keeping them around outside of some interactions and I don't feel like just constantly creating big issues for them to deal with just for the sake of conflict. I was fully planning to have Lyuri and Duke leave once they got married and Hikari will probably follow the same path and Sakura I will have to figure out later.

That said they're not gonna be retconned out of existance and can still interact with other characters if anybody feels like interacting with them for some reason. Mostly though I just want to give them some sort of "ending".

I will probably make a profile for a new character relatively soon and see if a fresh start will help renew my interest in RPing here.

Makes sense, you finished telling the stories with those characters, it's time to move on to new ones

Moon: That's pretty much what I would do if I ever came crawling back to this RP post-retirement for similar reasons, so go ahead.

Yeah, that's totally understandable Moon. Looking forward to seeing what new character you come up with to subject to the crazyness that is the J-team and eventual Alola arc though!

I'm not too fussed about the Amiibos. As I said, I'd have politely rejected the offer even if I somehow won anyway, since I have no Amiibo-compatible games.

More intriguing is the autobottesla commission! I'm torn on which characters to have drawn up, though Alex or Belinda for humans and Quirinus or Snowy for mons are near the top of my list.

I mean, that's totally what I'm going to do if I ever eventually manage to finish my characters' arc-ish things. It makes a lot of sense to me.

Eh, don't worry about it Umbra. If I won but you couldn't get it to me I would just let the runner-up have it.

Also I do not possess a Wii U so... >.>

Newf: -pathugs-

Though I see your avvy and usertitle and be all like◊

(On A COMPLETELY DIFFRENT NOTE, will try to have aquarium dump up soon.)

Progress on Pokemon Mechs goes well.

Oh boy it's two for the price of one:

• Name: Samson Dubois
• Age: 15
• Gender: Male
• Ethnicity: Ambiguous
• Appearance: He's of average height for his age and has medium lenght white hair and blue eyes. Wears a blue t-shirt that's white on the borders, brown shorts, blue sneakers and is always carrying around a gray backpack while having a pair of black binoculars hanging on his neck. He looks quite athletic as well but not exactly buff.
• Any ties to an organization: No
• Region of Origin: Coumarine City, Kalos
• Backstory: As a child Samson always enjoyed going outside and looking around, never liking to stay in one place for too long. This eventually caused him to want to explore the entirety of the world and although he figured he might never get to see everything, he might as well go for as much as he can. After leaving his home, Samson began developing quite an appreciation for nature and especially Pokémon and would often spend a long time just looking at whatever some wild Pokémon might be doing while hidden somewhere else.

• Species: Greninja
• Nickname:' Aegir
• Gender: Male
• Ability: Protean
• Personality/Bio: Mostly a laidback guy who rather prefers hanging around to fighting. Aegir joins in on Samson's adventures to explore and although he doesn't share the same interest his trainer has in other Pokémon, he does enjoy looking at the scenery around him and similarly prefers to stay outside than indoors. Still, although he prefers not to he's pretty capable of putting in a good fight, after all he does have to look out for his trainer and his tendency to wander off into dangerous territory.

• Name: Diana Rey
• Age: 15
• Gender: Female
• Ethnicity: Ambiguous
• Appearance: Diana has tanned skin, black eyes and medium, red curly hair. She's often wearing a pair of jeans and a black long-sleeved t-shirt as well as a pair of red boots. She's usually carrying a small red purse around as well.
• Any ties to an organization: No
• Region of Origin: Anistar City, Kalos
• Backstory: Born in an upper class family, Diana was always a little bit of a glutton, she loved eating all kinds of food but quickly got bored with the typical stuff and wanted to visit other places in order to experience different meals while also trying to learn as much as she could so she could make equally delicious food herself. Against her parent's wishes, she ended joining Samson in his travels, as the boy's explorer life meant she would get to visit all kinds of different places if she kept following him around and even though she isn't quite into the outdoors life as her friend is, she still occasionally joins in on his adventures.

• Species: Delphox
• Name: Soleil
• Gender: Female
• Ability: Magician
• Personality/Bio: Soleil acts mainly as Diana's assistant, helping her cook and also help with other mundane things. Although she doesn't do any cooking herself, she greatly enjoys helping and watching the process and does have some interest in doing some things on her own. She's a cheerful and helpful mon most of the time but people often find out that she has very little tolerance towards people annoying her the hard way and once she's set off, she can stay moody for quite a while.

Hey guys! Sorry I was out all day - family get together day w/ my uncle and cousins.

I'll be ready to play and resume the raid tomorrow.

NEWS FRMOM MY END

So since my health has prevented me from entering Umbra's contest properly I'll be doing my own more or less... kinda tied to Umbra's if he'd be so kind to allow that. As for the price; RP!Sergey will fulfill one wish for one of the PC's of the winner... mostly any wish. Of course things like give me all you Pokémon are out but I guess that is obvious, should my entry win and nobody has anything against it Sergey will deliver some eggs to everyone willing to receive one... again if that would be okay with you guys.

edited 23rd May '16 1:54:22 AM by Sergey_Smirnov

I highly recommend anyone not up for truly entering my little betting contest to go for Sergey's instead. :P

(Since I would have done something similar if there weren't some spare amiibo I was hoping to pawn off.)

Does that mean I have your approval to do this Thanks!

Sorry I haven't been on in two days, I've been out of town. What did I miss?

Not sure how well I can give a summary, but Current Events is usually a good place to check in regards to that.

Umbra

It's okay, i understand. I would have had the same problems if i tried to do this. But hey, well... You tried! Have a medal!

Achievement Unlocked: You Tried!
Sometimes you just can't. This proves you did your best!

I'll wait till you're not broke anymore to ask you for the comission.

Sergei

I am interested in this. What would be the contest's rules?

Mostly the same as Umbra's, you post your prediction, if you win, you get a prize, only since the 'prizes' in this case are RP based and hence unlimited - one correct type-combo suffices, two will give you... uh actually I haven't thought about that... I guess RP!Sergey will fulfill two wishes then, yeah that sound good. Two wishes, if you guess both right you'll get two wishes from him.
