I've already decided his species (Growlithe). I also prefer to use characters that I created.


Also catching up on OOC now that I have some downtime, and a Growlithe would make Falvev more at ease, he used to know one. Also yes, they're adorable, and they change into fluffys. I would be the third person in the team by the way Ridlins! ^^ Falvev just didn't want to join with just two people, and a bit more specifically, just Thassa.

No, no, he's talking about back when we did this on the other forum. We didn't have a post order, we made shorter posts, there were more of us, and there wasn't a specified OOC 'tab', so it led to about 17 pages appearing overnight. Poor Kabling was helping me with that thread, and had to sift through every post just to double check that everything was okay. Unfortunately, we still didn't catch everything, and at one point, someone snuck in a post where their scientist character basically invented a nuke, and had that character's specifically-created villain use said nuke on the guild. Just a friendly reminder, everyone: Don't be a poketwo (the username of the guy who used that character).


And ugh...that sounds rough. I had an old RP that was pretty hectic, but it had a posting order so we were able to manage it all. Both good and bad to know you've had to deal with something like that before, as you probably are used to the hectic-ness that GM'ing comes with, but sad you had to deal with that.

And oh? Sorry I can remove it then, I thought it would help people know what pokemon is making the post for the first time, since I was new. I figured my post itself would help some in that regard too, but I thought people who saw a new RP'er pop up overnight would be confused at first.

Shall I remove the pic then?

ARGHHHHHH

Shut up. I didn't lead Lugia to RP Guild only to find myself reading 10 pages a day again.

At least get a topic in your head and try to combine a post, rather than splurging all over the place.

... Sorry? :/
Most of this has been early Q&A, frankly. I've sort of got a lot of granular information to process. I'm not trying to spam the thread, although I do realize that I've populated something like 5 or 6 pages in 2 days.

Those were dark days. I remember ending up on my own most of the time. Every time I tried to interact with the other characters, I'd fall asleep and then everyone would be in a completely different place by the time I woke up.

The question now is... CAN @Ridlins KEEP UP WITH OUR ANTICS?!


I CAN'T KEEP UP. I'VE GOT AN APP TO FINISH, AND I NEED TO POST IN ToM. I AM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW.
I'm joking, of course. I've got a lot of time on my hands atm.

I wonder how Falvev will react when he finds out that my character spent time in prison.

He'd probably say something along the lines of, "So we got a snake that tried to eat me, and a Growlithe troublemaker...and a Chikorita priest. I see nothing wrong with this! Excuse me Growlithe, have you heard of our Lord and Savior Arceus?" *bow* "Also be careful and get the Ekans fish."

I think I know exactly how Thassa, for one, will react to that... but you'll have to wait and find out... :P

I see a Dexter!

On another note, sounds like this team is going to have an interesting start.

@Ridlins AWEH. I like him. He sounds cute. I can only imagine that he and Thassa will butt heads. It'll be interesting to see how they handle one another. Thassa herself is fairly domineering after all, fairly proud, but for all her posturing she's always been at the bottom of the pecking order. This could lead to some friction, as he doesn't seem the type to be easily cowed like Falvev is, and I suspect she'll feel the need to assert herself...
He's certainly more experienced than she is! Thassa barely even understands guilds, dungeons, money... much less the concept of law and the breaking thereof.
...On the other hand, she'd make an all too willing partner in crime...

Looks like Fava's going to have his paws full as the group's morale compass. xD

Falvev wants to be the tactics and support section of the team. Dunno if it'll go over quite how he wants.

@Pearion_Rehtyer Well, by basic racial capabilities, Fava is the toughest of the three, while Dexter is clearly the one capable of dishing out the most punishment. Their movesets reflect this, and I think Fava can adopt a supportive role if he likes with the abilities he has. Thassa on the other hand is much bigger than either of them and more mobile (although probably not as fast as Dexter) - capable of getting just about anywhere, because, y'know, snake. So with moderate speed, durability, and attack (although outside of the statistic slant she'd have considerable strength due to her size), her 'role' is a little tougher to pin down.
Maybe she's there to look scary/pretty? <3.

I meant more, he wouldn't get to be entirely the tactics. Have a feeling that Thassa and Dexter would rush in with their own plans sometimes. Which is naturally what happens on a team, and ends up working out a majority of the time. But, Falvev may be confused.

Also, since I've yet to say, hugs for everyone!

To be fair, this RP is a bit of a free-for-all, so roles aren't set in stone. It's like CSGO: you can have several roles (from entry fragger to rover), but they don't actually exist nor are used to an extensive standard.

By the way, Ridlins, sorry if I was a bit harsh, but yeah, the only thing really wrong with the app was the whole 'driver' part.

@Lugia If I may express my opinion, I'm not sure I understand the reasoning. Pokemon buy and sell goods, ergo they must buy and sell raw materials, which must be transported en mass at some point along the supply chain. This type of transportation, at a technology level like has been displayed as far as I'm aware, would require either carts or caravans.

Caravans are likely to require a team of multiple pokemon to pull them in most cases. Teams require overseers, e.g. drivers. The setup may be a little different - the harnessed grunts may not be considered animals and they may know exactly where they're going, but whether the guy in charge is called a "Driver" or something else seems to me largely a matter of semantics!

Just my two cents. Feel free to disregard.

Just my two cents. Feel free to disregard.

Let me put it this way:

Our characters have bags which have a large amount of space, even if they're just pouches. Though, the NPCs DO NOT have those bags, so they rely on normal transport. This is because I cbs trying to track all the items in everyone's inventories.

So, NPCs get wagons to transport their things, even other Pokemon if needed.

All-in-all, I've explained this to Lugia and he's gonna accept Ridlins.
