Impact wouldn't be doing much front-line fighting if he's in charge of the Prideguard, is he?

Hey, Rayleen's in charge of us, and she still does front-line fighting. In this RP, high rank really doesn't mean you're not allowed in combat, especially if you find some way of justifying it.

Quote:

By the way, you would not believe how I smiled when AB pointed out Impact's abuse of pauses.

Yeah, keep insulting me, why don't you. That's just how I talk! I choose my words... carefully. So does Impact. He just doesn't have the justification of "English-is-my-second-language".

Quote:

Rayleen might take offense by the fact that by saying this, you declared (or imply) Renny as less competent especially right before saying that he know she trusts him. Hardly a good way to get in her good grace. =P
For all you know, she'll do what I do and state that being nice or kind does not mean he lacks competence of any kind, or something of that nature (why else you would bring it up?). Impact might truly believe that philosophy is a mistake, but what does that matter if he's not the one in position to pull the strings but rather her?

Well, in that sort of position, I'd imagine that Impact would be better-suited than Renny, even assuming that they're equal in terms of tactical and strategic planning (in which I'll endeavor to prove Impact's superiority during mission 3).
The only reason he would've mentioned Renny was to say to Rayleen "Look, you've promoted someone before. Time to promote me."

And I support the "splash" idea. Sounds good, will be useful.

I've always used the term 'splash' so I got no problem for it. Presuming that the move splash never comes into play. Which I pray it doesn't.

And I've come up with the first co-op technique, barring approval. It was originally going to be a Buck/Sol-leks combo, but it seems to similiar to Pierce's.

Co-op Technique (Hammond and Pike)
Future Shock: Hammond circles the nearby skies and repeated uses stone edge, forming a ring around the foes in battle. Using the metals within the stones, Pike unleashed a discharge into them, leaving the entire ring a cage of scattered and jumping electricity, which then finds its way towards foes.
Effect: Moderate electric damage is done to all foes from the Discharge. Allies are unharmed. An electric version of Fire Spin effects enemies for 2-5 turns. 50% chance of paralysis upon initial attack.
Rage Points: 70/100

I literally made that up the time of writing this post, so suggestions are more than welcomed. Encouraged you could say.

Not enough murder.

Bard The 5th LW · 05-19-2010, 06:58 PM

I liked the original draft better. I can type it out just to show you, but I need to have a little time to think it out.

Shevetson doesn't, and he's of even higher rank and probably has military training. I'm pretty sure the reason Rayleen gets to fight isn't so much her rank as it is her vagina. When Impact becomes a pretty girl, he'll be able to fight on the front line and rule the world too!

Hey, you didn't see me getting up in arms when you brought up Pierce's speech before (in the strategy room). You were making fun of Pierce because I (not him) botched it.

Keep in mind that way back when I brought up the whole "Impact abusing pauses" thing, you explained that it was a language thing and I dropped it. Impact bringing up Pierce's speech is pretty much the same thing and I didn't say a word.

So you don't get to bitch if I decide to make fun of you for it every now and then.

Go ahead and post it whenever, Bard. Can I make a suggestion?

Pierce's Co-Op technique hits four enemies. Why don't you make Charlotte's instant death on one enemy? Basically, just have your pokemon gang up on one bastard. Or have 'em gang up on two, for maybe not instant death but massive damage. Co-Op Techniques presumably don't have to involve only two pokemon. I'm pretty sure you can use several, though all that might kick up the RP cost a bit.

HOLD UP HOLD UP HOLD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say we embrace Menarker's earlier notion of the Scorpion demon bug whose name escapes me at the moment things to do just this to Impact!

Menarker proposed that going half-demon/demon/whatever could possibly make Renny older. It was arbitrary and stupid so everyone rejected it, but I say we let him do that on the condition that this might happen to Impact! It must be done!

Dracorion · 05-19-2010, 07:10 PM

Hell no.

I mean, it would be fun for a while, sure.

But keep in mind that you're giving the guy who wants world domination boobs. And later on when he gets mind control? Yeah, I can already see she-Impact seducing every single male in a high-ranking position in Honmyr.

Bard The 5th LW · 05-19-2010, 07:15 PM

Gotta point. Guy never had any sexuality that was visible anyways, he wouldn't be too bothered by any guess.

Curse you Gem, and your calm and collected character(s). Curse you and them all.

Dracorion · 05-19-2010, 07:16 PM

Besides, boobs are what we make our own NPCs for.

Which reminds me, I totally forgot to work on Elizabeth.

Psst. I was kidding.

As for the rest...

...

I'm really incapable of comprehending the implications of your suggestion to make Impact female. I mean, what does it mean for my character? For yours? For the entire RP? I don't know. I really, really don't know. Have we crossed some sort of event horizon? Have we gone from Gritty Pokemon Reimagining to Wacky Anime? Will things only get worse? I fear that they will, but how quickly? Is this even happening?
You have successfully broken my mind.

And besides, I really don't think being female would help his chances.
I might make the magatama age him, though. That might be cool...

Also, I'll show you Impact's sexuality! Later.
