[OOC] Pokemon: New World

[Balthazar007]

@Dusksong I saw fire as a type so as long as it is possible to have growlithe I am happy. Favorite Pokémon ever

@KiritoAsuna

Growlithe is certainly available in the Central City location! On a side note, Growlithe is my Pokemon GO buddy.

[KiritoAsuna]

@Balthazar007 omfg me too

[Balthazar007]

Okay, so I see that many people have made posts since I was last online. At the moment, I don't have time to read through them all. I have an Anime Convention to attend!!!

Tomorrow before work, I intend on reading all the posts and assigning points accordingly.

On the first of this month, the date will move forward to the next day. BUT it will still be night time for another few days IRL. Double check the opening OOC post on Pace for further details on this!

Thanks everyone!!!

@balthazar007 Do share how the convention goes--always wanted to attend one but haven't gotten around to doing so yet.

Also, Leisy's currently in a battle with a wild Pokemon, and I was wondering if I could have her in the previous day for just a few more irl days? Until she finishes the battle and returns to the city for her room. Is there a rule that everyone has to wrap up their in-game days when a new irl month rolls around?

@Dusksong

I advise you to take another look at the newly updated section 'Pace'. Just because it is a new month, doesn't mean that any major changes to the scenery around you have taken place quite yet. It's still night time and all that, it's just that your battle is running past the midnight hour. You have till the 9th of this month before the time of day will noticeably change.

Thanks!

@balthazar007 But it does have to be midnight for everyone then? I can't finish up the day and then progress to the next day? 'Cuz that means I have to tie up my posts before the end of the month, and my posts are kinda-sorta paced by how often others post haha

@Dusksong

Pretty much everyone has already explicitly watched the sun go down in their RP posts. Whether it is 10pm at night or 1am in the morning would be hard to tell. Luckily, I don't think anyone has mentioned an exact time. But now that we are in a new month (new day). We can safely assume that it is sometime between midnight and daybreak. If you have said something in your IC posts that contradict this, you should delete or edit that bit. I know this is an inconvenience, as it was added just a couple days ago. But it should prove helpful in the future!

Thanks!

@balthazar007 I've neither confirmed or denied that it's midnight in my post, but it just strikes me as a bit funny that Leisy's battle would go so late into the night :/
Either way, I'm planning on tying up the battle and having her go to sleep in the next post so it's all good.

@Dusksong

Thank you for compromising on this. Remember, if you put her to sleep right now, and bring her back to waking status before October the 9th, it will still be dark outside.

Thanks Again!

Hello Everyone!!

@LuckyBlackCat@czechmate46@Dusksong@Zarkun@Lugubrious@Eklispe@KiritoAsuna

It looks like we have a strong cast in the works! As of this moment, I have read everyone's most recent posts and updated your "official stats" and "creation points" accordingly. Our two newest members, @Eklispe@KiritoAsuna, can be found along side everyone else in the opening OOC post.

There have been some updates in the last few days.Tiers and Ranks were changed about a week ago (fully updated just now). The basics of PvP Pokemon battles were finished a few days ago; we have yet to test this. A day night aspect was added to the 'Pace' of this RP very recently. There may have even been a few other minor changes that I am currently forgetting about. So please re-read the opening OOC post if you haven't done so in a while.

This month I look forward to quite a few developments. Organizations will receive an overhaul that will make them the BEST way to earn Trainer Points. We will be testing the battle mechanics, probably first hand with another player. A few tweaks for battling will be added for players that reach higher ranks. And I look forward to seeing new locations being developed with YOUR help. One of our players has amassed enough Creation Points in order to create a new location, and many more are right on said person's heals. Speaking of Creation Points, I will also be adding extra ways to earn creation points.

Thanks Again Everyone!

@balthazar007 Okay, I now have half the amount of CP required to create an organization, so I think I'll bring up the issue of co-ownership again. If I create an organization with someone else, can we split the cost? I'm fine with splitting leadership points too if required, or just be required to bank one extra point before distribution?
Also, how many points does an organization have to bank before it can distribute? From what I understand, if an organization only has one leader and they get a point for the organization, then they get it transferred to them?? So then... can't someone just have a one-person organization haha...

@lugubrious I was actually thinking of doing a co-ownership deal with you haha. Um, how about it?

@Dusksong

What do I get in return for this 'deal'?

[Typical]

@lugubrious Ummm co-ownership??? It's fine if you don't want to though--I'll just have to post ten more times before I can create a organization haha

[Lugubrious]

@Dusksong

What good's co-ownership? The 'What is an Organization' section doesn't mention anything about ownership, let alone its perks.

[Typical]

Anytime someone from inside your organization makes a post, the organization banks one trainer point. Anytime someone outside your organization interacts with someone that is a part of your organization, the organization also banks a point. Each organization will also have a mission statement. If you are acting in accordance with that mission statement inside when you post, that character's organization will bank bonus points. For example, most battle leagues will award bonus points when your are battling someone else in your league.

@balthazar007

@lugubrious Extra points, for one. Balthazar mentioned that he's fixing the mechanics, but organizations will soon become the "best way to earn points" (refer to balthazar's latest post), so I was thinking to make one asap haha

So, how about it? Just think of it as a cool RP group (other people can join) that gives you awesome perks for this RP. At least that's what it seems like to me?

@Dusksong

Points? But that's only if my character's in the organization. That has nothing to do with ownership or me as a player at all. It would only benefit me if my character was in your organization. My character can be in your organization without me having to contribute my points to make it. The point is that you offered me co-ownership if I gave you my points, and co-ownership doesn't mean anything. Unless I can only join your organization if I contribute trainer points to make it?

[Typical]

@lugubrious Leaders get extra points and whatnot, and it's kinda like being a mini-GM? Gah what's the main barrier right now--that you don't wanna spend the points? But where else would you spend them--to make another location? Or a character?

You can just refuse haha--I won't take offense. Only difference to me is time taken to make the organization.

@Dusksong

My 'barrier' is that I don't understand what you're selling me. If I think it's a good deal, I'll pony up the points. If I don't, though, yeah I'll make a location or a character or something. That's all I can do with them. Are you thinking that I'd just hoard them up and never use them?

Organization leaders are IC. Look at Balthazar's example, the battle league. He says its leader is currently some non-playable character, but if some PC becomes a Master, then can then become the battle league's leader and reap the rewards. Why would my character be the leader of your organization?

On closer inspection, it seems that CPs are non-transferable anyway...

Creative Points are non-transferable.

Balthazar007

...so, given that the idea of splitting costs means someone transfers you points and then you buy the thing, this entire conversation is moot.

[Typical]

@lugubrious Um well I was thinking that we'd split the cost so that we can co-own the organization. I honestly dunno if it's a good deal, but I'm going to assume that being the owner of a organization is worth it since it's the most expensive thing to buy with CP.

Yeah organization leaders are IC, but I was just thinking haha. So um does that mean the Olivie has no intention of heading an organization? If so I can just be the sole owner...

Really I think the rewards part of this conversation will be clarified when Balthazar clarifies the rewards of the organization system. I'm expecting a significant bonus for being head, but perhaps not that much? We can hold off this conversation until Balthazar clarifies that.

[Balthazar007]

@Dusksong@Lugubrious

Hey guys. Let me get my edits done before you continue this conversation. I haven't even considered the option of splitting the cost of creating an organization between two people yet. I want multiple organizations to arise.

This is my next project, with the highest priority. So give me a week and you will have something legitimate to talk about.

Thanks!
