Rt AU

I personally don't care where the WEPON strikes first, as long as, once it hits Nimbasa, Scott can overhear something that would give him time to escape with Schroedinger's Nimbasa Residents, including AU!Alli and AU!Trent.

Regarding RtAU

On that note, might I kindly suggest that there be some more hard planning regarding RtAU? As in ASAP hard planning? If we're serious about Mid-Novemeber, that's kinda less than a month away, and we still need to determine the general chronology of events beyond a series of general events left by Silent and a collection of apocalyptic logs...

I'm kinda hoping more for a Mid-December date seeing as that gives me an extra month to pre-write and I won't have to worry about classes then.

Mid-December might work better, actually, if some of the college guys don't have to worry as much about classes then.

Just so long as it starts before 2013... I'm honestly considering quitting if it doesn't happen by then. I can't afford to wait too long, considering that my parents seem insistent on shoving more and more job stuff and later possibly college stuff down my throat...

Rt AU

On my side of things, in order, it'll probably be:

  • Scott overhears something about the WEPON being used in Schroedinger's Time Limit, probably from a mon who thinks humans can't learn Monese (poor sap)
  • Scott gathers AU!Alli, AU!Trent, and whoever else, and warns them (not knowing what type of weapon the WEPON is, but knowing it's dangerous
  • They escape Nimbasa just in time, quite possibly in an EPIC STOLEN MOTORCYCLE ESCAPE SEQUENCE
  • Scott calls Keith to warn him about what's happening
  • After numerous close calls with WEPON strikes, they are eventually caught in one.
  • ...To be continued.

He means plannING, not what plans you already have... Like, how are we gonna figure out the chronology of everything? Which cities are struck first? How does the resistance get together? How exactly does the anti-WEPON do its thing?

In my opinion, we don't want set chronology.

I think we should set a series of overarching goals (drive back the armies, defend PEFE, etc.) and a set of events intended to reach those goals, and then leave who does what and when/how to the players.

Curious, if timing's a problem, could we start Rt AU before PEFE Exploration?

And for planning, how's this for the start of a rough chronology?

  • AU!PEFE finds out about WEPON a bit before the first bomb drops, which they are unable to do anything about them

  • Development of anti-WEPON starts

  • Second wave of bombs occurs, some of which AU!PEFE are able to stop

  • 7JD finds out about anti-WEPON development, tries to stop it

  • More direct fighting between La Résistance and Draconic Clans happens

  • 7JD are stopped, punishments are levied

I agree with Crewe.

I do need to know when the Dragon's attack on Johto will be, since AU!Straw has something significant happen there.

Pent

Tagg and Tracer are finishing up a Fallout arc in PMD-B Angela, I believe,. Mezzo, Every, and I have started Dangerous Dinner, the last stage of her Rt DL arc, in the Dream World. DS, Wolf, Katie, Fortis, and possibly a couple of others are in Violet doing a Gym Challenge, Straw, Crewe, and presumably Crow since he's stalking Crewe for secrets are near Violet. Anything else?

Tagg

-hugs again, and gives flowers for mom-

DS

I've never even heard of a Casio calculator. Maybe ask us for help on the math?

Eskay

How about, instead of two actions per turn, it gets a combined health bar instead? It'll still get a lot more actions (since it will be presumably living longer), but not all at once.

Rt AU

Um... Bahahkun's betrayal will probably have to be before the arc even starts, or set to take place in the past. I'm not really sure here since Umbra's already posted the backstory to Fuuma and Seish.

This signature is empty. Nothing to see here.

It has to be more than just a shared health bar, considering they're also combining attack power. Additionally, that would leave the Protect problem completely open. It's fine with what we decided earlier.

Yeah, so it turns out that I *can* use the Internet in the hospital. However, since I didn't know that, I'm using my 3DS right now. On the upside, that means I can bring the laptop with me tomorrow if I have to go.

Sorry to move this to another post, but do Saffron, Celadon, Goldenrod, Slateport, Lilycove, Jubilife, Hearthome, Castelia, and Nimbasa work for the first cities hit by the WEPON or should we add or remove some form the list?

Hm... What about Opelucid/Sunyshore/other cities leading to Victory Road in either the first or second wave, to cut people off from the E4?

Flying types exist, yes, but if there's panic in the gateway cities, it'll probably be just that much harder to call in the cavalry.

Locations

Drop the Sinnoh cities off the list; the Distortion pretty much turned Sinnoh into a wasteland, and WEPONing them would be a waste of materials. They're probably the last to be WEPON'd.

That works for me. Straw would still be human, as he's in Olivine at the time of the bombing.

Good point, Eskay.

... Does that mean any humans still surviving in Sinnoh would be able to organize a more coherent rebellion force? Maybe that's how it happens, they start in Sinnoh and move out to different regions to recruit.

Speaking of rebellion groups, I'm thinking there would originally be small local mons banding together, who eventually join together later on (but maybe still keep their own identities/ranks/organizations/whatever, so it's more a confederacy than a coherent army)?

I... actually quite like Crewe's idea.

Though what the milestones should be is the question...

@Wolf: She's stable, and is actually conversing with my aunt while I compose this. We actually don't quite know *just* what's wrong with her, which most likely means more tests.

(Wow, using the 3DS sucks, but now mysister and I are preparing to leave, so I'll be back in a few.)

The milestones is where the hard planning comes in.

I'd suggest going from the top down, and separate by area.

The most overarching would be "Overthrown 7JD", correct? With "Defend PEFE" along the way.

So break that down by region, so we get some sort of umbrella outline.

Like, one of the steps to overthrowing the 7JD would be "Push back the armies". In order to do that, we need to, say, "Organize the rebels". And so on.

Forgot about Sinnoh...

So, Saffron, Celadon, Goldenrod, Slateport, Lilycove, Castelia, and Nimbasa then? And maybe Viridian, New Bark, Ever Grande, and Opelucid, if they're cutting off the Elite Four.

Wait, are they trying to take out communication, too? How would Port cities and Lavender Town, with the Radio Tower, factor into that?

Hm... I'd say hit the major population centers first (which we've got), while cutting off the E4 from getting everyone organized.

Next wave, cut off port cities and communication centers (such as Lavender Town, to get rid of the radio tower).

Then, hit the rest of the small towns.

Last, make a sweep of Sinnoh.

How does that sound?
