12 is a very magical number.And isn't groups of 3 a survival thing?

Survival thing? What might you mean by that? O.o

If you need a website to work on collab posts, try sync.in (typed exactly like that). It's like google docs except simple.I'll have a post up sometime today, and I can't wait to see who Mai is paired with. Hopefully they won't mind having a sickly weakling on their team. (;

I'll check it out. Also, I'm trying to think of a way to balance team personalities. Don't want all the bold/shy people together.

I just remember reading it in a sci-fi book. Which one was it... I should have it around here somewhere... Oh! Rendezvous with Rama. Apparently, groups of three is a thing for survival groups. I don't remember why, though... If something happens to one of them, there's still two to split the work? Something like that.

Titanpad also works pretty well. titanpad.com

I'd be up for Lily being a leader if not many other people want to be? (I'm almost home from London so hopefully I'll have a post by tonight)

[Skybreaker]

Great, @blaziken! And if some people are unable to use these sites for some reason, we can organize collabs via Private Messages. And that's actually my reasoning for three people. Not too much that you'd have to wait forever, but enough it's not a 1x1.

[Skybreaker]

My only concern is that someone will end up dropling, and we'll have to find a replacement. I'd hate for a squad to get behind because they got stuck with dead meat. Maybe we could literally kill them off. +-+

[Prints Avoid]

Might just have to kill em
I might suggest dropping in some NPCs for the missing 2 spots? It could help balance out personalities in the squads as well since you can write them up for that specific purpose. You'd have yo trust the other two members of the squad to agree on how that npc behaves though.

[CitrusArms]

Well, that would probably be a good way to reinforce 'survival'?

And we could shuffle the fourth from the one group to replace the third that died. >>;

[Skybreaker]

Yeah. That could work.

[CitrusArms]

Oh yeeeaaaah, post is up. :3

[PhoenixEye9]

Yes!

[CitrusArms]

Yay a new person. :D

Blaziken is the best pokemon. Except for Lucario... hm... those are two pretty rad pokemon.

I saw the first IC post when it was first posted, but I was doing yardwork all day so I didn't really have a chance to reply to it. I'm done now so I started to work on my first post.

On the topic of the latest conversation, will people be able to join later on the RP, especially when we're all past the rookie stage? Would those people just have be pre-existing ranger or would they be newbies at the start like everyone else? But the more important question is will the RP be open when the majority of us become Rank 1 Rangers? And when we finally create squads, will newcomers create their own new one, or will the team formation shuffle around to accommodate them?

[PhoenixEye9]

Cirus I will agree to Blaziken being a good pokemon but not the best, theres alway better.

[PhoenixEye9]

Name: Milo Cash

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Hometown: Mahogany Town

How would you describe yourself?: Loyal, but at times extremely lazy. If a friend is in need though there is no such thing as a safe place, and if a friend asks for help there is "normally" no stopping him. Very vocal on opinions, though in fights between friends he calls "Switzerland" and calls it how he see's it.

Why do you want to be a ranger?: Milo just had nothing much better to do with himself, if he's going to do something why not let it be good for everyone.

Do you want to Help, Hurt, or Hunt? Hunt

Do you have any Special Skills?
-Tree Climbing
-Empty Palm Force, (Pretty much this )

What is your Favorite Type of Pokemon and why?: Dark and Fire types, Well dark because they are dark, and fire always been my starters. Fire is cleansing, warmth, light, destruction, its a million things in one body, and always the start of my new adventures... or one stupid Scout Story

Anything else we need to know about you? Do you have some dark secret? A condition? Or perhaps you really like a certain type of pokemon?:
-Hates Kyler Savage with a burning passion (Wannabe pokemon prick), secretly wants to light Kyler on fire *Evil Laugh*.
-Likes Fire and Dark type pokemon
-Has another odd dislike to Clefa, and Wigglytuff

They will be rank 0 rangers. (As we are now,) and our characters would be seniors to them. However, if we are in need of it, someone who is capable might be permitted to play a higher rank.

@Phoenix: Answer in first person and in paragraph format. The empty palm thing is also a bit OP. In addition, how does he know Kyler Savage..? He's not a ranger yet...

[PhoenixEye9]

Hating Kyler Savage for me in that is more of a heads up, I will hate the living mess out of him so yeah, roleplay be warned. And I'll fix up the other things, writing style on RP's is normally third so its become a habit :P

And on the Empty Palm, its not to that extent and I wouldn't use it in fighting [due to it needing a lot of focus](really Im not even planning to be a hurter), that video was what I based it off of. That was pretty much meant as a trick and something for when he's doing nothing. Still want me to remove it?

[Skybreaker]

Oh, I think I get then problem here. This isn't an ordinary CS: it's can application. In that sense, Milo would be answering the questions, not you. SO he couldn't have met Kyler yet. In addition, I don't get a feel that your character is speaking tio me in the sense all accepted characters are. I want to get to know your character. Also one of your sentences should be rephrased along the lines of; "Milo had nothing much better to do with himself; if he's going to do something why not make it for the good of everyone?"

High casual would require most sentences to be clear and concise. And remove it, for the sake of it being irrelevant.

[PhoenixEye9]

Yeah I realized thats the sort of thing you wanted a few minutes ago when I read the stuff above the CS asking for me to fill it out like a real application, I didn't read that before I read rules, then jumped to CS.

And to the grammar correction, I can do basic I debated the semi-colon so nice to know I went the wrong way with that, and the question mark... yeah its needed like that isn't it.... (Call this a thanks to pointing out my grammar mistakes [and with finals this week probably got me a few extra points])

Actually, wait a second, are you saying my reason to become a ranger is irrelevant? The one that I have down at least, to me that's more than relevant I've watched people have that as their reason to join the army, that's a truly legitimate reason to do it.
