[OOC] Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

[Pikmin Eye]

Yeah, that might have come off too much as complaining. Apologies if I offended someone here. Thanks for the feedback on that kind of stuff though. I'll refrain from posts that don't contribute to the story.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Pikmin Eye Because I'm somewhat busy with normal life, I've mostly taken to only reading the Dewmeadow posts and posting to acknowledge that, meaning that I've been skipping those posts too. But, since you've said this, I've taken it onto myself to read those posts and tell my impression. So, why do we have three different villain-teams? Well, suppose that's entirely alright, we have three different player-teams! XD

@Zardoric The Team Legacy members seem normal enough. Because I really don't know anything about them and don't know what drives them or anything, I do find these guys to be quite mysterious but so far not extremely interesting. ... Like the case is usually for the Pokémon Teams in the Pokémon games, so guess you nailed it! XD ... But yeah. They're there. I can look forward to eventually interacting with them, as soon as I get a better Pokémon Team. I need to get six Pokémon, fast. Haha.

@SleepingSilence The Outsiders, unlike Team Legacy, I do kind of feel like I know now after reading their posts (and the fact I can see their CSes help). Therefore, I can say I am quite amused by their posts. In fact, their little dynamics and quirks are nothing short of humorous. I quite like them. ... Still, the fact she apparently already has an Arcanine scares me. Means to me that I probably shouldn't encounter them anytime soon, need to get better first. Hahaha...

@Pikmin Eye And then there's you. Yeah, you. You left an impression. Did I say I needed to get better to face the others? Well, I don't want to face you at all out of sheer apprehensive fear, no matter how good I get. Your first post mildly traumatized my impression of what aura this roleplay was supposed to have because "I THOUGHT WE WERE KEEPING, LIKE, CHILD-FRIENDLY POKÉMON AURA" and quickly got really scared. Man, you're ominous, and I think I can approve of you being ominous. Hopefully, I don't need to encounter you until I'm, like, Champion level. Because Rowan's... not ready for you. Neither Pokémon-wise or emotion-wise. Yikes. Haha.

Yeah, that's about that.

[SleepingSilence]

@PlatinumSkink Heh, well I appreciate that. And yeah that's basically the case. Three villain groups, for the three teams.

<Snipped quote by Pikmin Eye>
As much fun as I'm sure you guys are having with those factions and stuff, it sorta...I dunno, interrupts the flow of things for me.

And eh, it may sound kinda douchey but uh, its kind of hard to care about events happening five cities away from my character that don't exactly have an immediate effect on them. For me, anyways.

@Rune_Alchemist

Fair enough, though I'm enjoying reading the groups that don't particularly pertain to me, it's suppose to be entertaining even if it doesn't directly evolve your character, all RP's are going to have that. But it makes me feel strongly that maybe we should make you guys care sooner as opposed to later. (But I'll leave the plotting to another day.) :P

[SleepingSilence]

@Pikmin Eye I think it would help for you and @Zardoric to post your CS's and group and what its suppose to do. (Like I did) So it would give everyone slightly better ideas of the difference between groups. *Just remember to remove parts you don't want anyone to know* :3

[Whimsley]

Interesting feedback. If anyone has more they'd like to say about these groups, I would very much appreciate a PM. I will say it has been my suggestion for these groups to post in order to build suspense and interest for what is to come. Though, from mixed reviews I can see that how these groups are being incorporated may need to be adjusted. Again, I do appreciate all comments being made. Anything that can make our campaign stronger and more enjoyable should always be put forward. I will be working with the people leading these groups to discuss what the next course of action should be.

@SleepingSilence I'll agree to this, with emphasis on the minimization of information reveal, especially Pokémon teams, plans, goals, etc. An overall purpose may be put forward, so as to give the players some direction.

[Xan the G]

@Xan the G Let me rephrase. They know it's 3v3, but they fight it as three 1 on 1s because they are inexperienced in battling.

@Whimsley

Well that creates an interesting proposition. My character knows next to nothing about pokemon battles specifically, but he has experience and training in combat, so ideas like guerilla tactics, pyrrhic victory and team play are all natural to him. Keeping the Poliwag busy while the others win their battles will be common sense to Havoc.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Yeah, that might have come off too much as complaining. Apologies if I offended someone here. Thanks for the feedback on that kind of stuff though. I'll refrain from posts that don't contribute to the story.

@Pikmin Eye

Oh no no, I didn't think you were. Asking for feedback isn't complaining at all~

EDIT:
Ugh, I am seriously not paying attention to things recently.

Sorry Whimsley, just noticed your post up there. Sending ya a PM.

[Whimsley]

@Xan the G Totally fair to use those tactics in battle, then. Feel free to suggest it to your team.

I'll be posting for Gleampier this evening, and any other group that may have responded by then.

[Zardoric]

I'm not going to have time for the CSs until Sunday, but I doubt you can get a full team before running into the first of my members.

[Eklispe]

@Whimsley Just felt like doing a shoutout to you.

Sucking Up

You're doing a fantastic job of GMing. We got several groups of antagonists and protagonists alike, all moving along at a steady pace due to your frequent posting and prodding, plus world building as we go along and an excellent job of giving players choice, but not too much choice, responding to our feedback and running these Pokemon battles in a way that's enjoyable for everyone. I feel like things are only going to get better from here and I'm super stoked for this RP. Thanks for putting it on for us.

[Whimsley]

@Eklispe Aw, shucks. Thanks, I really do appreciate it.

--
I want y'all to enjoy this campaign as much as I do, and I'm putting forth the effort to show for it. I know some of my policies are strict, but I'm thankful that all of you are cool with that and each and every one of you are excellent RPers. You don't overplay your parts, you're developing your characters at a reasonable rate, and you show intrigue in the events and characters I put in front of you. So I thank all of you for what you do! Without y'all, there is no campaign.

[Remram]

Sorry...I got way too hooked on a game...I swear, Game Dev Tycoon is addicting.

[Whimsley]

@samreaper Your character's approved and good to go, so long as you made those edits I mentioned earlier, put him in the Characters tab. I should have your post up tonight. You'll be setting out from Argentglade; if I can get one more person to apply, that'd be perfect, but not required.

[samreaper]

@whimsley

alright, cool and already made those edits and will add the town.

[SleepingSilence]

I'm sorry, I literally had my day ruined. So not much in the mood to write too extensively. >.< (Though will be able to post tomorrow.)

[Whimsley]

@SleepingSilence Not a problem, I can still respond to those who have posted. Sorry today went poorly. I hope tomorrow is better!

[samreaper]

everyone has a bad day. Just something you can't help

[Whimsley]

@tex Could you get a post in by tomorrow afternoon? I know you've had work but I really need to get things rolling for Rune and Las.

[PlatinumSkink]

... Yupp. That's... that. Yepp.

[Turbine]

I'm working on a CS--nearly finished now! Hoping I can get into the 4th town :)
