Pfft.

And some of those weapons are just pieces of cardboard drawn on to look intimidating.

[up][up][up]We're storming that house from Up?tongue

1. Personally, I see them having mostly Flying type mons, but not all Zubats, Golbats, etc. Maybe use mons like Altaria, Ninjask, Skarmory, etc.

2.I think that depends on how quickly we want to get there. It would be less time consuming to go to a town near Sootopolis or Pacifidlog, but the Airship would fit TO better.

3. Not sure...

4. E4 and Law enforcement may do something, but I wouldn't count on the law doing much if the games are any indication.

As for the 3 group idea, it sound pretty good.

@DS: [awesome] as well to both parts.

@Silent: I like the "Three fronts" bit a lot.

As for the other points...

1. Not sure on that, but they probably have some powerful and many not-as-powerful Flyers.

2. I support the airship idea, if only because I have an epic areal assault planned.

3. Not sure on this one.

4. Having E4 interference would allow me to meet a couple NP Cs I wanted to meet, though that should probably be reserved for a... quieter time.

5. I'm mostly going to be focused on the assault.

One Important Issue

We want to be in Sinnoh for our anniversary? That gives us seven days to do all this.

So...idea.

Today/Tomorrow: Head to Sootopolis/Stay in Mossdeep. Sometime during this period, Vyvyan gets to tearfully reunite with Sierra, etc.

Thursday/Friday: All weather anomalies disappear, and new ones begin forming, all around the caldera. Team Ozone moves their AIR BASE (tm) over to the caldera, we go and investigate. We find Team Ozone there, and they declare how they intend to stop Charon from ransoming Hoenn (or alternatively, find all the teams there trying to cause their own chaos). Vyvquaza happens, Charon's machine shuts down. Then the volcano starts to rumble.

Saturday: Caldera event/Stopping the Teams/Protecting the Public.

Sunday: Finishing up Hoenn finale, tying up loose ends.

Monday: More loose ends.

Tuesday, Feb. 7, : Sinnoh, anniversary party!

Wednesday: Keystone Arc.

Second Possibility, This One Not Putting Us In Sinnoh for anniversary

Remainder of this week until anniversary day: Vyvyan gets back to Sierra, tearful reunion, etc. J-Team heads to Sootopolis.

Feb 7: Anniversary Day.

Feb 8. Until Weekend: Weather anomalies start disappearing and gathering around Mt. Pyre. Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Ozone, Team Us, all do the same. Charon explains his plan to ransom Hoenn, Vyvquaza stops it, Charon freaks out and starts erupting the volcano, melee a trois begins

Weekend: Mt. Pyre battle. Some people stop Charon, some stop the Team, some help the villagers.

Monday and Tuesday following: Tying up of loose ends, we head off to Sinnoh/Kanjoh.

Wednesday: Keystone Arc/Kanjoh Arc.

I don't think it is a good idea development wise that we set up a HARD deadline on Feb 7. Instead, we could play the party off-timeline, going by something similar to Webcomic Time. We take the day off, so to speak, and have our party. Then we can resume with whatever we were doing. I don't think it would be inexcusable with an RP of this caliber, and there's also the whole value a Milestone Celebration has. That way we can still try to finish Hoenn "soon™" but we're not forced on a hard, cold, spiky deadline which would affect several of us (at least DS, Gamer and I, it seems).

I have like 2 other potential plans but let's hear commentary first.

[up] My only problem would that it would be kind of hard to do my plan of evolving Xu and Gilgamesh during the climax. Other than that, though, sounds good.

Presumably the climax wouldn't be time-shenaniganed. Just the anniversary.

[up] I assumed it's after the climax, so... I guess I could just keep HOW they evolved a mystery until the climax.

Only the anniversary would be shenaniganed yes. Another option would be to simply leave the anniversary off-continuity a la Very Special Episode like what Pokemon X does, for example. That way there's no issue about an unevolved mon not being able to show up, our mons would be free to be aware of the Fourth Wall, we can have guests or special characters out-of-timeline (think Still Alive!Joey), etc...

...I'm almost sure that Very Special Episode doesn't mean what you're using it to mean.

That aside, that sounds like a good idea.

@Every: yep, the "like what" should have been simply a "like" - off-continuity is the VEE Pokemon X specifically has.

I would prefer the anniversary be canon, personally.

There are three qualities we can have for the anniversary.

1. On time.

2. In Sinnoh.

3. Canon.

Pick two.

I'd vote 1 and 3. I see no reason for it to have to be in Sinnoh.

Though I don't even know what I'd do during it.

1. Well, we know they have an indeterminate number of Grunts from Tracer's first run-in with them. Probably about enough to present a token defense at the very least.

2. A heavily defended airbase.

3. Not sure.

4. Something that big is very likely to attract E4 & Law Enforcement attention.

5. Hmm...

Anniversary

While I think a Sinnoh celebration would be a bit more poignant (Because, hell, we were there first, even if some or even most of us would like to pretend our earlier history didn't happen.), and I'd definitely like it to be canon time shenanigans or no, I suppose it wouldn't matter RPing wise to me since RP!Tagg probably isn't attending. I might just boot him up to Sinnoh automatically.

Scheduling

Well, I agree with Every in that we should definitely have deadlines, since frankly dragging on endlessly is almost as bad as rushing, except you replace a rushed job with no job. Not to mention that I was hoping to have actually had the keystone arc ending by now and not play GM during a busy school year...

I'm thinking Charon might have the weather machines fill the skies of Hoenn with gray clouds that block out most sunlight near/during the finale.

OK, added a room dedicated to creative discussion. Check the site index.

...please be responsible in its use. If it just devolves into a snooty clique, I'll have to shut it down as a failed experiment.

If that doesn't happen, this probably supercedes the OT policy thing we tried to do a few weeks back.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?
