Other than the immortals (who count as being in their early 20s, based on physical appearance), I think Tangent is probably the oldest (although I'm not sure how old he's supposed to be).

I think somewhere around the early twenties.

Tangent's 22 and I believe RP!Silent is about 23.

Mine's September 30 -brick'd-

Actually, a person much older than the rest of the cast (barring the immortals) would be a very interesting addition to the team. I'm surprised he doesn't have a Pelipper, though.

On an unrelated note, since the DMV was closed yesterday, we went to get my permit today. After waiting in the long line, we found out that the person who signed for the permit test isn't authorized, so we were rejected. And then I had homework afterwards, which is why I got here so late. So now, I get to do the same thing tomorrow with fixed slips, and I probably won't be available to RP then either. I imagine I'll wind up missing page 7777, which will not help my mood.

Hey guys, Pikaninja7 here.

I'm here to discuss my schedule as of late. My school work is harder than usual, considering I've taken more units, and by extension, more classes. I'm currently 4 weeks behind schedule concerning artwork and have been stuck staring at the draft of Fire Emblem Gamer I scanned in a while back for the past 2 months whenever I need to access my homework or type an essay. That's nothing to say on my attendance in the RP as of late. I've got tons of requests and personal projects I'm falling behind in, and to top it off, I think I have a sore throat. This is pretty pathetic, to be honest. If I were to quit, now should be the time...

...

Nah, I'm just BS'ing you guys about that. Truthfully, I do have all those problems, but I'm not one to be able to complain. A true man sticks to his words, and I intend to finish all that stuff, even if it breaks me in the process (which I hope it doesn't). It's getting to the anniversary of when I started THAT, so why don't I start it once again. If I'm lucky, it'll be finished around December, right around the anniversary of when I finalized it. Most of you should know what I'm talking about. In respect to Anom's wishes, I'll be excluding him, and taking Luke's stance on the RP currently, I'll be doing the same unless otherwise requested by the man in question. I will also be omitting anyone who is not part of the RP that is missing a physical description anywhere within the thread/sub-threads/related texts. And any characters that do, will be required to send me an "approval" to use their characters as such. I look forward to up'ing my game any proving my evolution since last year.

Anyone who actually thought I was gonna quit, please read the spoilered text below:

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!"

EDIT: Also, as a side note, I did not decide this based on the above post or chat logs. I'm always planning guys. Otherwise, I'll have to stop moving forward.

Like I said when I first requested FE!WAAPT, your deadline for finishing is the North American release date of FE12.

And considering 12 is for the DS, and we have official announcement of 13 for 3DS coming to North America, I have a feeling that your deadline is somewhere between never and eternity. tongue

Of course, if they ever do release the Mystery of the Emblem remake, I'll rescind the deadline, because that's not the point.

Armbands Discussion

I'll start this by saying it is completely possible I have misconstrued what someone may have said in this entire kerfuffle, so if I did, please tell me.

In the chat today there was a talk about the current state of the armbands in the RP, specifically whether the system of how they are distributed and owned is one we wish to keep.

Currently there are about 8(?) armbands in the possession of about five players/characters, and they are more or less owned by these characters, with the spread of the armbands seen as a loan in which the loaner expects to have the armband returned. Some people think that this system is restrictive and possibly unfair, disallowing for many players, new and old alike, to obtain them for their own purposes and freely move about with them.

One suggested solution was that the concept of ownership of the armbands cease to exist as it does, that the giving of armbands become not lending them but just passing them on, so it can be passed on again, and again. No one owns them, they're passed on as soon as you aren't using them and someone else wants to. This could let the armbands be spread about more effectively than if a small group had constant possession of them and expected them to be returned, potentially undoing any of the armbands' progress in spreading to new hands. How this would affect the armbands of Ammy, for example, or Skye and Diane, who use them for different purposes, is undecided, although possibly it would affect them less.

In the cases of armbands which don't see constant use, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to have them move about. Although, if there is a problem with this, please bring it up and talk about it.

To clarify the above: Armbands lose absolute ownership, they move around freely as demand changes, how this applies to Ammy/Skye and Diane(?) unclear.

A concern is whether or not this is making people think armbands are a necessity and he/she absolutely must get them for his/her characters. This seems like a small concern to me, but if anyone thinks otherwise, please say so.

Anything else that I missed, which could very easily be a lot? Thoughts, particularly from those who do own armbands and were not present in the Chat discussion?

As an owner of two armbands (one of each), I must say, I'm not overly fond of the idea. I've been perfectly willing to distribute them to anyone who asks, as long as they actually know Wolf in-RP. And I went through an entire arc to get one of them (being the prize for beating Ganonpork in the Zelda arc).

So...yeah. I vote no, for not really being necessary.

Wolf: Was that prize determined before or after you had already started the arc? AU!Prolio has a good chance of running Rt AU solo due to his ability to trust others being pretty much stolen by Bahahkun on her escape, as well as his unawareness of all things J-Team, so should he get an armband to keep, too?

And now for something completely diffrent!

Alright, Black 2 and White 2 are coming out in the US this Sunday, and I was planning on some fun things for both versions. The explanations are spoiler-free, so I'll show them below.

White 2

For White 2, I'm planning on an RP-Themed run, with all the mons I actually use being named after RP mons.

HOWEVER! Since I've had many troubles with video walkthroughs/Let's Plays, I'm also going to try a Liveblog of this run. However, that means I have to ask you guys an important question.

Is it OK if I write cameo appearances for any of your mons? By default I will assume yes; however, if you object to me using your mons in this Liveblog, I will not give them any lines at all.

Black 2

As for this one... I am planning on it being my first Egg Run. However, I need eggs! So, I would appreciate offers and F Cs from anyone intrested.

The rules for the eggs are as follows:

  • I would vastly prefer Pokemon either NOT in the New Unova Dex or those that only show up late in the game.

  • Please, no junk Pokemon. That includes Com Mons , Magikarp, male Combee, gimmick mons, sufficiently weak stuff like that. If you even THINK about giving me such a mon I will just box it - or worse- and ask someone else.

  • Good egg moves/Inherited TM moves and good Dream World abilities are not required (especially the latter), but are GREATLY appreciated.

  • Preferably, not a mon one of my characters own in-RP, but considering the sheer number I have this is the rule that can be hewn to the least.

While you should follow those rules, do feel free to surprise me! I like plesant suprises.

And don't ignore Onion's post, it's important.

Define "late". Anyway, I think I could donate a mon to you.

Tropeless: It wasn't really determined until I got to the end. It just sort of developed that Ganonpork had an armband so we could fight as humans. It was just sort of natural to take it at the end (also, if it ever comes up, Wolf has the Master Sword tongue).

Umbra: I'd like you to ask about specific mons if you want to use them, but I'm likely to say yes regardless. The only time I might say no is if their species isn't in New Unova. As for the Egg Run, I'd like to help, but I don't see myself having tons of time in the near future to breed something for you. Sorry. sad

Wolf: Hm, so it's a victory spoil? I can see why Wolf would not want to part with it... but the other should be circulated. We don't want an armband recession.

Umbra: I'm fine with you using my Mons, although less than half of them are nicknamed, which may cause reference issues. As for Black 2, I definitely want to donate an egg.

The other one has also existed since the concept of more than one armband was introduced (by accident, because three people posted finding the one Pent lost at the same time, and it just went from there). I've had it for over a year at this point, and have been pretty generous with it. I don't really see why the current system needs to change. We all accumulate stuff in the RP. The armbands are just part of that stuff.

The Human > Pokemon Armband that was once in Star's Possesion is currently in the hands of her younger brother Ian, an NPC. Once I stop being lazy and start being in this RP again, I'll work on Star getting it back, and she'll be willing to loan it to people she knows. (Hopefully by that point, she'll have met most of the newbies.)
