Additionally, we have Recap pages for the two threads, which seriously need updating. Feel free to help out here!
What should we do?
EDIT: Oggy has since changed their post accordingly, but to everyone here, please keep this basic rule in mind.

Uh... I have a question. When Norton(my tribute) got killed by Chile in S209, I mistakenly believed it was the entire population of Chile(it was just the country), and wrote his death scene in the RP accordingly. When I Retconned it to be just the country, saw that 9001 already went with the previous interpretation after I edited my post. Now what?

"Oh, did I win?"I'll see if I can work around my last post after your recent edit because I still want to explain the lore on location tributes in-universe given that GC's location tributes from S18-72 brought about that common misconception that they're automatically Massive Group Tributes. I also wanted to get my post out there before the next update came out and thought that you wouldn't edit yours because you already did. Turns out it was probably to fix a typo instead of fixing your interpretation of Chile this season until recently.
That being said, I thought that you'd still go with your original interpretation despite me pointing out Map's intent on nominating Chile on Main because this is a Loose Canon RP. Not saying that it wasn't valid, just that the technical issues regarding the Watchlist and technical kill tally will make things messy when the season ends.
I'm sorry for assuming the wrong things back there given the sleep schedule/timezone gap between us (I'm a real night owl).
EDIT: I've changed it, ironically to Ally making the mistake. Is that alright?

Still waiting for someone to break him free...Yes, it's fine. I mean, I also have some Loose Canon concerning my tributes, like the Sonic-style Pokemon OCs(and the Faithful Foxes, who are not Sonic-style) entering the Arena without being summoned by CAC, who isn't aware of their existence, neither does he know how the home universes of those anthro Pokemon look like.

"Oh, did I win?"6k1 is also curious about them since her Vaporeon, a regular mon, was scared of Sonic-style!Alolan Vulpix, but I'm not sure if anything would come out of it since they just... show up out of nowhere. (shrug) She's still gonna react if she finds out that they were never nominated by CAC since she knows a nominator who doesn't nominate their tributes at all and yet is still called one (Cassie/Riley).
Still waiting for someone to break him free...~Billy 5545, please add this RP-specific rule to the OP:
Nominators and tributes alike can transform into Pokémon whenever they enter a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Worldnote or via other means outside it such as a season event, Transformation Trinkets, or shapeshifting. The players are free to choose the Pokéforms that best suit their characters and even give them color schemes outside the standard and Shiny colors, but there is a hard rule for this. If you want your character's Pokéform to be a Legendary, Mythical, or Ultra Beast, please ask the RP mods for approval. Outside the Arena, these Pokéforms are still OP, but we want to give leeway for tributes who theoretically can have them such as deities.
Still waiting for someone to break him free...~Cosmos And Chaos I only pointed out the technical side of Dynamaxing because I love pointing out little details in my hosting. Your original post was fine as it is, but it's okay if you don't edit it again. Just take note that all Pokemon follow the mechanics with each new generation, but just to be clear: Dynamaxing does make Pokémon giant, like with Good Phoebe, who accidentally Dynamaxed herself permanently in a lab accident.

Still waiting for someone to break him free...~Scipion 3 Were you operating under the assumption that the Home Base team have arrived in Bale's Base? I'd like to make it clear that while they're on the way, they actually haven't arrived there yet.
Speaking of which, I'm afraid I will have to delay my next post to tomorrow, because my head is starting to ache
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."To CAC: I would've made Sans outright conclude that the Scorbunny is CAC, but had him have a weird hunch instead because I double-checked their tribute pics. But that makes me wonder if CAC can change the shape of his glasses (or make them disappear/invisible as Platinum or Ugo) to perfect his disguise.
To Scipion: I'm leaving it open to Susie, Noelle, and Berdly if they still want to make the FBW and Bugtrio's "2x3 date" a "3x3 date" as Kris was only suggesting that they go home with them, but they (Kris) and Ralsei will return to their respective worlds.

Still waiting for someone to break him free...Huh, I thought it was a character design error because usually shapeshifters have an identifying feature such as a certain part not changing with them, like Dark 6k1's brown eyes always flashing purple when angry, which is why she prefers forms whose eyes are already purple.

Heh, now that you pointed it out, it seems like a mistake on my part when making CAC's human form in Picrew(I wear square glasses irl). But I guess I'll Hand Wave the different kinds of glasses as part of his shapeshifting. Which, when you think about, only makes sense, given he can shapeshift his clothes when he changes into Ugo, or outright get rid of them in his Platinum or Scorbunny forms.
More like Throw It In, since shapeshifting clothes along with the form is a common shapeshifter power, but I specified that it's usually the accessories that aren't changed, but yeah.
And speaking of glasses, 6k1's are canonically indigo teardrop-shaped ones, as shown in her Mudkip form, but that's not shown in her human form due to that Picrew's limitations.

Still waiting for someone to break him free...One thing that bothered me back in S98 was that All The Clothes In The World were from an alternate Earth Prime (that is, not from the same EP that 6k1 came from before she moved to Panem), yet CAC lost his clothes upon their death but not for the other nominators. As it's probably too late to resolve this, I headcanon that the clothes were specifically from the same universe that CAC was from before he moved to the Rushing Beat Universe.

Still waiting for someone to break him free...Anyway, I researched about Lavos's previous seasons, and its S2 appearance was before the rules on shipping nonsapient tributes were tightened (after S31), but Scipion, who nominated it, reflagged it as nonsapient in S110. So Platinum legit didn't know at the time... but he's the one to talk because on Main, you flagged him as safe way back in S2, long before you added all those Nom Games restrictions on him in retrospect.

(Sweatdrops) That's true, I used to believe that given it's just fiction, it was okay to ship CAC with other tributes, even though I'm aroace irl, but other tropers showed discomfort at being shipped outside their irl preferences, so I adhered to that. Also because I changed my mind over the special conditions. But ASAS!CAC doesn't know of those special conditions... don't know if that's okay or not.
So many mistakes, I'm not sure if I'm being a good RPer.
Here's a spoilery note for my latest post:
Meta Knight's death here is meant as a Sacrificial Lion moment, I want to make it clear that things won't go as smoothly or easily fixable for the good guys from now on. Unlike the LOD, there won't be much of a large cast to help out. I want this new arc to have less characters but higher personal stakes. Also the scene is largely a Shout-Out to the first episode of Seijuu Sentai Gingaman and the initial fate of BullBlack there
Prettiest Meta Knight Gijinka, ngl![]()
It's okay, every RPer makes mistakes (even me) and you're not doing anything that's breaking the rules. I'm just pointing them out to you so you can improve on them.
That being said, the other nominators on Main have been adding these additional restrictions to their Author Avatars since the early Reboot in response to the creation of the Watchlist in OG S231. Not all of them do, however, as their tolerance levels vary and some are fine with whatever happens to them as it's just fiction.
That being said, Power was aware that she would have to be black-flagged if she joined the last Nom Games in Ralsei's body, but other than that, she just hopes that she doesn't get involved in the Nom Games-banned events as there have had been slip-ups before. This also applies to her clone Paper in S119.

~Scipion 3, minor nitpick, but James and Aaron were in S151, not 101.
