Pokemon Umbral Discussion 28: A Wild Cerulean Wildfire Appears! - Page 6

Boy, you have no idea how wonderful.

Push comes to shove, I'd kill Pierce and Sam and Shizuka and Chizuru before you can get to them. But it won't come to that.

Geminex · 06-10-2010, 10:48 PM

Yeah. Only no.
a) I'd like to see you try to kill any of the kimonos
b) I'm sure I can somehow get necromancy

And why wouldn't it come to that?

Astral Harmony · 06-10-2010, 11:40 PM

...

...Buh?

I read about a page of this and I think I need therapy.

Seriously, you two are messed up. Big time. Maybe I should give Menarker the lead since he doesn't let crazy shit like you crazy fuckers get to him like you get to each other. And don't think you can kill him if I do give it to him. I'll Dinner you both so fast that there won't even be a footnote in the epilogue, except maybe a part where you two were suspected to be having buttsecks as you were annihilated.

I'll laugh the whole damn rest of the RP.

Speaking of the RP, I've got a bizarre idea: a second RP. I've said it before, but I must repeat it to provide backstory. At the end of Mission 3, Rayleen will leave PATCA. She'll make an appearance with some new allies during Mission 4 just for the sake of fanservice but after that, she's gone and she won't be around for a long, long time.

I was originally thinking of a discussion thread detailing what she's doing, but then it hit me: why not just create another RP? You guys, if you give a shit, can create a new character to go with Rayleen. I can split the plot so that both sides get their fair share of big bads. The plots will converge near the very end of the RP.

By the way, I refuse to make Impact wet his pants when Roar is used. Boycott the RP all you like, but what is that going to accomplish? Nobody's signed up to play since the beginning, and I highly doubt Dracorian whining like a little kid whose parents cut off his World of Warcraft 'cause he just kept using the account to call everyone the N-word and making many other nonsensical derogatives and didn't even bother to level up his rogue...

...

Wait, where was I? Oh yeah. I highly doubt Dracorian whining would make Menarker, Geminex, BardTheFifthLightWarrior, and DanteFalcon stop playing.

And if they did? Well, I can catch up on my video gaming because I won't have to do this RP anymore. Believe me, it wouldn't bother me one bit. So sit down and eat your sundae. You're not going to wrangle any good shit for yourself out of this GM, no sirree.

EDIT: By the way, could I get a list in this color of what you guys're doing in the RP? That'll make this take much less time.

Geminex · 06-10-2010, 11:49 PM

Oh come on. It's just friendly competitiveness. How is that messed up? We don't actually mean any of that. Certainly not enough to affect our in-character actions.
And I would be very unhappy if you misinterpreted our interaction as justification to transfer leadership to Menarker.
I'd demonstrate how I really act if someone... gets to me.

And second RP.
Hmmm.
Do we have the time?
Because I don't know if you do, but I might not. Sequel, yes. But parallel RP?
Not a full-scale one, is what I'd recommend. Maybe we could try to work on a continuity, what's happened before, what's currently happening, in the wider world.

Didn't I add one to my in-thread post?

Bard The 5th LW · 06-10-2010, 11:51 PM

Sure, I would definitely be interested in a second RP. I even got an idea for a character in my head right now. Admittedly, I was going to save the character for Charlotte's sidequest, but I think her can be worked in.

And if Drac really does boycott the RP, than all I can say is that he would be missed.

Astral Harmony · 06-10-2010, 11:55 PM

Probably for the best. The reason I called it bizarre is because it's difficult enough to have time or even interest in this RP anymore. Damn it, why the hell did I make it so damn big? Ruin Generals, Gabriel Force, Faynoc and Burkmont, Pokesynths, Pokeweapons, Evoliths, specialties, yadda-yadda-yadda. I'm killing myself with plot!

But I'll still do the second RP if at least someone wants to. Not everybody needs to chip in. If you don't wanna do a second character on top of your first one, I wouldn't expect you to try.

EDIT: I see that list now, Geminex. Sorry 'bout that. Didn't even know that post was there. I'll definitely have a post done tonight.

Bard The 5th LW · 06-11-2010, 12:05 AM

Yeah the plot is becoming a bit of a club to the head. Those times Charlotte said all of the factions and groups confused her and she was losing track of things? That was sort of me talking as well as Charlotte.

But I still want to see it through.

But yeah, I'm OK with the sort of Umbral Gaiden RP. I'd join in, and maybe people outside our little circle could join in to.

Y'know, I've been thinking. We're already instating character sidequests. Couldn't we make it so that, during these sidequests, AB doesn't have to GM? Maybe not during descriptive scenes, or when controlling the Kimonos, but during combat? The sidequest-owner does the battle evaluation, writes everything up, AB approves it, it gets posted.
I'm no sure how well it would work, but it'd take some of the load off our GM's back. It's supposed to be fun for all of us, no?

Edit:
In regards to the plot getting a bit much, I made a flowchart once. That helped. But mostly I focus on short-term objectives such as "Kill all sons of bitches". Sort of oblivious to all the fantastic history...

Astral Harmony · 06-11-2010, 03:54 AM

Yep. Cerulean Wildfire is a bitch.

Geminex · 06-11-2010, 05:26 AM

Indeed. No melee... but it could be worse.

In fact, it isn't so horrible.
I mean, yes, the metallic bitch can set three of us on fire every turn, but that's what enforcers are for. Trainers can switch pokemon, and if both their leaders are affected, they can just switch with their enforcers for a turn while their leader pokemon stop being on fire.
What does worry me is Wildfire's ability to, seemingly, deal what we in Australia like to call a "bloody crapload" of damage. Because damn, great damage vs. Mollesk. I'll probably OHKO everything that's not Impact. And it might even be enough to kill Impact. So I guess, switch often enough to prevent fire from interfering with us, prepare to take a few casualties, and hit as hard as we can. Probably we won't have any type advantages, sadly, but that's allright.

What d'you think, should Pierce deploy Nagrai? Waste of a sunny day, I think, but might be necessary.
