I'm still not keen on the idea of establishing a president of a region – especially considering we have no idea what sort of government the various regions have. However, if everyone else is okay with the idea, don't change it for just one person. Unfortunately, this is one of those things that can't really be compromised; it either happens or doesn't happen.
Governor would most likely be more accurate, since it is one big nation.

Also, I've been thinking of introducing a secondary PC for a bit and might want to have her join during the Bug-Catching Contest. Here are my current ideas for her
Name - Maggie
Gender - Female
Hometown- Goldenrod
Age - 14
Appearance - Pink hair in a ponytail
Personality - Considers herself a J-Team fangirl, and is a generally nice person
Backstory - Originally didn't plan on becoming a trainer, but learned about the J-Team from a friend one day, became a fan of them, then became a trainer to emulate them. Has some experience with working with electronics because her parents work in the Radio Tower.
Pokemon - Proboscis the Female Drowzee, Kernel the Female Sunkern
Anything I should work on?
"Don't worry, murder is a sign of affection." - An amalgamation of DunsparceI like, although I'm fairly sure we already have a mon named Proboscis, so you might want to come up with a different name. If you can't think of one, though, it won't be too bad, judging by our repeated defiance of the One-Steve Limit. It's just a suggestion.
As it should be known now, I used a bargain with Umbra as a Secret Test of Character. Through understanding the nature of our group as a whole, I placed a difficult hurdle to which may have caused unnecessary stress on two or more members of this RP. I have, knowingly, used the rest of you as, in another's words, "Currency". All this to fulfill what may have caused a rift our friendship. For everything listed above, I willingly recieve the blame of and will keep in mind all of your shifted opinions of me. I accept the shame and responsibilities of all that I have caused aside from the intended effects. Should you deem me unworthy of staying, I will acknowledge that and take my leave, though will complete what is expected of me. Most of all, I will not beg forgiveness, for it is something to be earned. However, regardless of the outcome, I shall make it known that I am your friend even should you no longer see me as such.

kind of requires it.
I kind of have something to confess as well.
Based on a conversation Umbra had once, while he did not directly state it, I figured out the general nature of the agreement between Umbra and Pika. I While I did want Ammy on the group shot, I did not end up voting because before I found out because it seemed like everyone supported it and I didn't think I should voice my opinion at that point just because I knew about the agreement. And I ended up being happy when Pika approved her being in. Though I read everyone else's reactions and felt kind of guilty.
Pretty much it seemed like everyone was angry at feeling "used," but I didn't feel especially negative about it. Pretty much my only thoughts were some concern for the state of those involved and concern over whether me typing this would change Pika's decision, no matter how unlikely that is at this point.
And for those of you angry with me or distraught because of me, I'm sorry.
"Don't worry, murder is a sign of affection." - An amalgamation of DunsparceOn the whole Pika situation
OK, after reading the log and the relevant Discussion posts, I have a few things to say.
One: Eskay (and to a lesser extent Silent and everyone else): Please don't be a dick to Pika. One dick move does not authorize you to be a complete dick back.
As for the deal itself...
I always had a nagging suspicion it was a Secret Test of Character and that's part of why I stuck with it. However, some things in the log nagged at me... Namely that it was partially to see how much I value Ammy as a character and that if I fessed up to Silent a couple days ago, she would have been excluded. I felt incredibly guilty over that, because while I value Ammy immensely as a character...
I cheated.
That night I almost fessed up publicly? I did via PM and IM to Eskay and Silent. The only reason I didn't fess up publicly was because Eskay begged me not to. The only reason I told them, though, was not to gain supporters. It was because I was immensely stressed out by the whole thing and didn't want to lose my friends.
So, Pika. If you don't want to include Ammy, that's your choice. However, I'm gonna make a dick move of my own and say you probably should anyway...
But only because this has caused a lot of backlash against you and I don't want any more to spring up. Because even after all this, I still consider you a friend.
(I would like to know what "reasons" you had for testing my character, though. Like you mentioned in the log.)
Crow, you don't have to feel guilty. -hugs-

Contact Me!I wasn't trying to be a dick to Pika. While I admit I was also part of the massive lie, I still did lose a lot of respect for him. I do not by any means hate him; I just disapprove of his means, as well as the entire situation.
I was honestly going to fess up as well, and I thank you for relieving the stress for me.
I vote we all just forget this ever happened; it's way too much stress even after the fact.
Crow: An Ascended Fangirl? I'm interested...
Pika-Deal: Honestly, I think everyone's overreacting. We're discussing the inclusion of a character in a large picture, not whether or not our group of heroes is worthy of restoring a sealed away magic that caused many wars before (and why) it was sealed by making them face three of the parents of the main characters in dragon form.

I said I was thinking of the Icelus bit. It's probably not going to happen with such a negative reaction.
So yeah. It's probably going to stay as Icelus becomes president. And her first act as persident becomes installing a Slurpie machine into office
I'm having to learn to pay the price
