[up] That's not even true all the time, since you still don't have a Dunsparce. tongue

[up] But Every's TRYING. And that's what counts. ^_^

Besides, PEFE!Every has one.

Also, you noticeably lack a Glaceon. o3o

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

That's because Glaceon actually isn't one of my favourites (although it has become one since then). My Pokeform is a subversion. I was expecting to be a Vulpix (which is my favourite).

And now I'm off to class. See you later.

I want to help some players bring forth some particular issues for an OT discussion in the chatroom. For that matter, I'll be leaving in a while and returning after lunch and after groceries, which will be about 5 hrs from now. Those interested word out your concerns in a Word document or something to sort them out, that way we can try to have an orderly discussion.

My problem with people's RPing isn't actually a problem with the RP at all. I quite like it, even the "bad" arcs. My problem is the amount of complaining about everything we've had ever since then. I RP for fun, not to listen to people whine about how a particular arc wasn't up to their standards.

I'm also not that concerned about the general direction of the RP, since I can still do something even with a badly-planned arc. As an example of that, the GC was a wonderful opportunity to do slice-of-life stuff and develop my mons' personalities.

And on mon distribution: This is a silly argument. It doesn't matter at all to me, and even if it did there's practically nothing I can do about it since all of my characters have themed teams.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

[up] Basically, there's another group of trainers that bears strong similarities or are the direct opposites of some members of the J-team. They don't have to be directly evil, just standing in the way of their respective J-team member.

One of the ideas proposed is that they're trying to be heroes, but they end up being manipulated into villans somehow.

[up]×many: Ahem... Tracer is well past having solved that problem regarding characters, for example.

Precisely about characters, since Luke was hesitant about bringing up an issue and Tagg told us to "assume nothing", I just went with it. Luke brought up the issue of some characters being left unavailable offscreen. Certainly we don't have to take mons just because someone wants to see them, but we could stand to take some characters of ours because other players (and characters) want to see them. And here there are two reminders that could help us given the opportunity comes:

  • Remember that your characters exist at all times when they do, not only when you're writing a post about them. So don't be surprised if someone wants to see a mon you haven't written about for a good while.
  • If there's a chance you won't be playing some of your characters for a good while, try to accommodate them for eg.: RCing.
  • Take into consideration there can be reasons, both in and out of universe, to keep characters out of focus.

Also an issue we were having with Hoenn is that we have shenaniganed scenes into "yesterday, today, tomorrow" so much that apparently until short ago some of us were still confused as to who was where? We could use a more or less definitive chronology of what to expect in such regards, in particular how tied will the confrontation with Charon and the Caldera finale be. Thoughts?

I agree. I still don't know the time of all of the events happening right now.

The topic is Presidental decisions. I'm doing FDR's Lend-Lease act during WWII. We have to come up with 3 effects that happened because of it and a forth effect that didn't happen but we think should have happened. Get it?

Oh, quiet you.

Now, for everybody: Do you guys think Psychic Type is closest to light for Pokemon elements?

Mostly, yes. Although a lot of light-based moves are Steel-type, funnily enough (because reflections).

I think it has very little similarity to a Light type.

OK, another derail here, but...

Me and Every were talking about issues with RP!Umbra, and while most of them were resolved, explained, or at least will be subject to attempted fixing in the future, one issue that bothered both of us remained:

Exactly WHY are Umbra and my future NPC Lina immortal?

Every suggested a blessing of Giratina, but I've already established that Umbra got his position because of his powers, not the other way around, and it wouldn't make sense with what I had planned for Lina. So... help is appreciated.

@ Umbra's Immortality:

The only way I could really see it working is some sort of Mew meddeling or a plausable "Fountain of Youth" kind of thing.

And really, there have been many spins on the FOY that don't involve water (EX: The original scripts for Up were going to have Kevin's eggs function as a FOY MacGuffin). So being exposed to a FOY without knowing it is a possibility.

[up] The Mew one might be good, but I need more than just Mew screwing around - I want there to be a REASON Umbra and Lina are the way they are other than "X deity was messing with them for the lulz."

Also, I want to address something:

If you have a problem with me in any way, please tell me directly. I hate having to look in the other chat fearing someone is complaining about me, and I hate it even more when that fear is confirmed. I will also refrain from doing so to others. Thank you.

I was thinking it might be the spiritual equivalent of a mutation, since we know Umbra has that whole bottomless-lifeforce-for-ghostnoms thing.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?
