Did mine too, boss! Ren's in - if the tickets are more than she can afford then Joshua can basically drag her along at this point XD

@Delta44 So you did! And it's well posted! And don't you worry, Joshua's going to do so regardless! XD

... Assuming he doesn't get a more direct refusal. Gosh, I'm unsure if I should feel guilty about feeling amused about this or not. OH, WELL!

@PlatinumSkink Dunno why you'd feel guilty; forcing girls to do things they don't want to is what I do on a daily basis! ^-^

PlsdontcallthecopsonmeIjustmeantthattheyreforciblygracedwithmypresencethatsallitsnothingpervertedandnolawshavebeenbrokenYET

@PlatinumSkink correct

@Delta44 Mm-hmmm. If you say so.

@Joshua Tamashii Gotcha.

@Eklispe Nicely posted. Yupp, that's a strategy. Heh. It does seem like the Pokémon world allows us to do this. I'll consider if I'll limit it in more extreme situations if I feel it is being abused. But for now, let's go at it.

I should be posting in 14 hours.

Edit: *looks at amount of work left* ... *looks at clock* ... *recognizes that he's drifting asleep* ... Ya know what? Today was fairly trying. I'll keep at it tomorrow.

Question. How do those concerned with the matter want Contests to be handled?

I was planning on having it handled like in the Ruby/Sapphire games, because that's the way I know it. That way, they have the audience determine which they like the looks of the most with consideration of which contest it is in the first round, and then have them appeal to the judges in the second part using Pokémon moves. However, these moves all have effects that are determined by the stats themselves, but they typically make a lot less sense than Pokémon moves applied to battle.

Like, sure, you used Quick Attack in the appeal. Nice, the audience is stunned by your speed. But, how the heck does that make you get to appeal earlier in the next round of appeals? Also, how does Mud-Slap remove the energy from other Pokémon that have already made their appeals? Yeah. That makes less sense. Also, the way excitement works also feels a bit strange, but... hah. In any case. All in all, contests are a lot weirder to try to transition into roleplay.

So, I suppose I could rework them to work more like shows as they are in the real world, with Pokémon performing the talents and then people can determine who did the best appeal. Maybe I should go check how the anime did it, I kinda dropped the anime mid Gen-2. Anyways, yeah. Me second-guessing myself actually writing this post is what delayed me yesterday. Anyways, since you're the ones that would be participating (if you want to)...

How would you like it handled, any who might be interested?

@PlatinumSkink

Well, that'll be me and Claire.

Personally, I think doing it like the anime would probably make a lot more sense, perhaps with some minor adjustments.

@Rune_Alchemist Huh. They're actually fighting in a contest? But, does that not give unfair advantage to... ... ... Oh, well!

I guess I'll further consider it. Until then...

That was a post.

@Pyromaniacwolf I will note, being super-effective will only help so much in some situations. Haha.

@Pink Madness If you want to follow the sounds to their source all the way, tell me so and I can make it so, if you wish.

@Joshua Tamashii This is going to be dangerous. Teh-heh. … Yeah, will you press on?

@Rune_Alchemist And the first person to be screwed over by the Pokéball roll iiiiis…! … You. Must have been some jinx with the “beginner’s luck” line. Haha. Do you wish to simply throw another Pokéball and have me, like, edit that in quickly? XD

@Pikmin Eye And there you have it. You’re now eligible to chose to be king of the drain. Or just follow their suggestion. Haha.

@Delta44 I realize I simply led you along for quite the time, there. Tell me if you wish to interfere anywhere, because then I can simply roll back to that time and we can play from there. You’re in control at all times, after all.

@Eklispe … You know, I knew when I sat that up that place that someone would run in there and be disappointed. I knew it. … I did NOT know they’d have Team Amethyst on their tail while doing so. XD

@PlatinumSkink

See Claire, that's why you never say you have good luck, because then the universe demands having giggles at your expense.

but yeah, it'd be easiest if you just had her go ahead and toss another one if nothing is otherwise happening to her.

@PlatinumSkink I'll let you know after work^_^

@Rune_Alchemist Yupp. Another ball thrown. There you go.

@Joshua Tamashii Very well~ ^^

@Pikmin Eye Goshpf. Haha. Yupp, that was an adventure. Nicely posted. And now, for the little something I had stored for one that did go through all that... Can't promise you'll like it, but heck, I had it stored...

@Joshua Tamashii ... Teh-heh. Alright, then. I will make a note that you're assuming in your post that you're getting away flawlessly, but that might not always be the case, but I'll accept it in this case, so yupp. Good luck. Let's see where you end up. Well posted.

@PlatinumSkink sure she can follow the sounds...

@Pink Madness Alright. Post about that, then. Haha.

Right, long post got long. Had too much fun having Combee giving Claire vast amounts of bullshit xD

Upon reading that. Uh, at least the use of escape rope makes more sense? Tbh I was wondering exactly what would *happen* IC-wise upon use of the escape rope, either way Dawkin will take this chance to try to use it.

@Rune_Alchemist Having fun is what this is for~ ... Gosh, you got one heck of a bug, there. Well posted! XD

@Eklispe Let's see. It's a rope. ... ... ... ... ... Hold one end, throw the other anywhere, randomly. Hahahahaha.

Hmmm. Yeah. I'll post in about 30 hours. Or 29 hours. If nothing else gets in the way. Yeah.

Sorry if there's something wrong with my post, my laptop died today so I've had to write this up on Ipad. You would not believe how painful it was to insert the colours.
