30 mons in the box is a bit much... maybe start with just those six, or those six and 4-5 in a box, and catch everything else as you go? It's much better for your sanity.

Everything else looks good. I like your mons a lot. :3

Yeah, I'd cut down on the amount of mons you have like umbra said. It might be a good idea to give a rough age range for your character too. Oh, and read this too.

Thanks! (And by "like 30 Pokemon in the box" I just meant "an undetermined number of Pokemon in the box" and I probably should have said that but oh well.)

Edit: I read the essay and age range... probably around 17 or 18? :s

Welcome aboard, Fillet!

Okay, so it looks like everyone's prologue plans are good...

On to phase 2!

That is, setting the stage for the arc. How have things changed after the Scolemis wars? Who's in charge? What happens right after the bombs hit outside of our characters?

I'd suggest doing it region by region, to keep things organized.

So... where do we start?

[up]Are we talking after just the first wave? And what's the length of time between waves, assuming we're going with that plan of attack?

Crewe: Hmm... I'd say it would be close to where the original arc left off, with some minor changes.

As for how they get organized... gathering airships together?

Hmm... I know this doesn't help with general plans, but I'm thinking of waiting until phase 2 starts before introducing AU!Alyssa. Gives me time to think about it.

Alright, I have something of a concern.

I recently realized a good portion of my major subplots are done by myself. While this can occasionally ease getting them done, it can also make me feel kinda isolated and even ignored unless I get feedback or an in-RP reaction.

So, I will try to be more inclusive of other people in my subplots, and try to solicit participants here when possible, if that's OK.

Currently, there are three I'm looking for participants for to avoid that isolated feeling.

Arikrome

Working out *how* to get people involved in this one is a bit tricky... Maybe either Arika or Chrome ask one of the more established couples for romantic advice before they officially admit their feelings.

Magic Mirror

Some people to join Ammy on her crazy Disney-themed adventures would be nice for this arc, though that's about it.

I Can't Believe It's Not Okami

Same as above, though there are three ways of going about it this time.

  • 1. The most basic: Having your Ancestor!Character interact with Ammy somehow.

  • 2. Someone ends up getting time travel'd, either with Ammy during the RWB, or independently to the same time and place. They then join her on her quest.

  • 3. I could also use people to play certain Okami NP Cs, though that requires some knowledge of the game from either playing it or watching a playthrough.

Any volunteers for any of these are appreciated.

[up]Can't really do much for Arikrome. I was planning on having either Crow or Maggie or some of their mons join Ammy in the adventures since you mentioned it, though. I might be up for interaction, though, we'll see.

Well I'm already having RP!Tagg join Ammy for I Can't Believe It's Not Okami as I'm sure you remember.

Still haven't come up with any ideas for Ancestor!Jeff, I'll try seeing if I can do something that gets me involved in your Conquest plot, and I think I may enjoy being part of Magic Mirror. I can't give a concrete "yes, I'm participating " right now, but hopefully soon.

I feel pretty out of place in video game subplots where I haven't actually played the game, so I dunno about doing actual Okami stuff... Amhlaidh is with Umbra though, so that's some inclusion, right?

Alright, there's something we might need to work out. The current planned start dates for Rt AU and PEFE Exploration are in around 3-4 weeks from now. I'm not sure everyone will have time to finish their plans for Kanjoh in that amount of time.

There are a couple options we could take with this:

  • Push back the planned start dates

  • Push back PEFE Exploration's start date, but have Rt AU start mid-December

  • Keep both dates where they are and end Kanjoh at the semi-planned date

  • Keep both dates where they are, but keep running Kanjoh

  • Any other ideas someone has

I know the dates aren't hard set, but I'd rather we work out what to do about this sooner rather than later

We tend to keep arcs lingering for a bit even after the next one starts, so the second or last options are the most likely and (probably) best.

I'm going with option 2. RtAU needs to be started, but doesn't need our OU characters.
