[OOC] Shattered Reflections - A Pokemon RP (OPEN FOR APPLICATION)

[BurningDaisies]

Is the posting order necessary at the moment?

I don't know...
Maybe its just me, but while it seems fair to use for exploration or combat scenes, it seems like an awkward restriction to impose on scenes that are just dialogue (like now).

@BurningDaisies

Yeah, first time I noticed that in such a heavy-dialogue scene during my experiences of GM'ing. The thing is that posting orders, for me, usually make for a more ordered RP but then, you get into that whole rail-roaded nonsense. Non-posting orders or free-for-alls are generally something I have very little experience with and can generally result in the whole RP being incomprhensible and since I didn't intend for this to be a pure sandbox, well, FFA doesn't work well with a non-sandbox, plot RP.

Still, I'll take your idea into consideration, @BurningDaisies. I'll think about removing the posting order if the RP festers for too long without posts. Still, there is a plot and it has to be moved along without being drenched in the tide of conversations and so forth.

@The Bork Lazer
Something to be considered for later:

If the goal is to simply get through the dialogue in a reasonable time frame, then doing a collaboration post might be ideal. You just open an etherpad (or some similar, web-based, group notepad) that everyone can freely edit and add to. Then someone just posts the wall of dialogue and everyone can move on.

It useful for condensing all the short responses from all participants of a conversation into one stream of text that flows more naturally.

You could use it for other things too actually...

Anyway, it may be of use to us here, if everyone is willing to try it.

I'm not a huge fan of collabs.

@everyone:

So what sort of story elements would you guys like to see in this roleplay?
So far, is there a goal you have in mind for your character aside from the usual fare of "...to be the very best like no one ever was"?
Perhaps some inter-character conflicts?

@BurningDaisies

Goal in mind for this story is the point of exploring the concept of ' to be the very best like no one ever was' and how worth that is to you the player. Whether victory and glory in the eyes of public is worth sacrifice or not. But other than that, the main goal for my character is for him, like his dad, to see through the divisions between the Rangers and the Trainers and realise that things aren't so black and white.

Also, man, @Sisyphus, waiting for you.

@The Bork Lazer Could we maybe skip to the next person since the posting order isn't super relevant at this phase of the story?

@BurningDaisies

Okay, then.

Sorry, @Sisyphus but it is my best regards until then for this RP to continue onwards so we'll be skipping your post.

@Kymera, sorry about the late notice but you can post now if you still want to.

[Kymera]

I'll attempt to get it done tonight, if not tomorrow morning!

[Kymera]

Haven't forgotten, just super busy at work right now!

[BurningDaisies]

@The Bork Lazer

Given how its been quite a while since there's been an IC post, can we forgo the posting order? Y'know, just to move things along?

@BurningDaisies

I'm sorry. I've been dealing with work and fever along with making preparations for college.

Sure, it seems like the best thing to do now is to forgo the posting order.

You can post if you want to.

[BurningDaisies]

On it~

I should have something up tomorrow or the day after.

[BurningDaisies]

@The Bork Lazer@Kymera@Innue

There we go~

It's not much, but I got something up for you guys.

Ah, unfortunately, I forgot this, sorry, but @Kymera PM'd me that he'd be leaving the RP.

@BurningDaisies

Yep, I am. I also may have someone interested if we want to replace a body.

@Cerces22

Ah, sorry, must have been a glitch in the system because I couldn't see your message.

There's a bit of a problem with it, though. Because you're the first Ghost Type Trainer of this RP.

Just a few things, though.

These were my original plans for Ghost Types in my setting. Ghost Types are one of the F5 species due to several reasons which I will list now.

- They are sadistic and regularly do Conjuring-Annabelle shit to humans for shits and giggles.
- They feed on the life-force of humans.
- They can only be killed by another Ghost-Type or a Dark Type.
- They're typically outlawed for Novice usage.
- Ghost Type trainers are known as Channelers because they channel their life-force to control ghosts. This is why Channelers have a reduced life span.

Anyway, I thought that would have spoiled too much about the type and I would reveal it later in the setting.

Novice Trainers aren't expected to have F5 species in their reportaire. Ghost Types are a F% species per my lore.

So, you can have two mon, one being a ghost type and another a non-ghost type or you may want to change your character profile to suit the above information.
