Pokemon Umbral Discussion 33 again: Hijacked! - Page 9

Everyone's competent, man.

Especially if we, the players, get together every turn to come up with a plan.

I suppose you could sabotage that, of course, but you shouldn't.

So it does come down to a popularity content.

Also, but I thought you loved me!

Menarker · 07-26-2010, 10:35 AM

If I could just defend myself for just a sec Gem, since I just woke up.

I wasn't trying to become leader at all. Hell, the first time I found out, I did a complete spit-take on my screen with my mouth full of milk and choking on my windpipe. I know it might have seen awfully "fortunate" that it happened during my sidequest, but I never requested my character to have any sort of commanding role. And I'm not re-evaluating whether Impact should be leader or not.

Drac was just asking AB if he personally thought Drac had any particular flaws from becoming leader because he said that Impact would not seriously look like a hero to PATCA and that Rayleen was probably reluctant to make Impact leader at the time or so. I took it upon myself to go about my conjectures/evaluation of what I thought of the relationship between Pierce/Rayleen/PATCA as a whole.

We know that Renny has a high chance of being the leader because of whatever combination of skill and popularity and because AB chose him. But I'm not trying to insist that Renny SHOULD be leader or nor am I intending to roleplay any differently in the attempt to get leadership. Renny will still pretty much be the same ol' Renny, character development notwithstanding.

Also, as for my role in the plan, I came up with the huge lists of traits and trends among the foes, organizing the threat rating and came up with a base line plan for which to develop a line of attack.
As for why I said Renny would suggest that the team should focus "special attack", I figured it would be because that's the most "obvious" yet "helpful" suggestion that is roleplayable to suggestion due to the data accumulated from the scouters hinted that most of the foes are immune to physical attacks. Other characters like Shannon should be able to contribute their "unique tactics" like Worry Seed or what not.

Dracorion · 07-26-2010, 11:45 AM

Though if we do end up choosing a new leader and Renny gets picked over Pierce, be aware that Renny will die.

Bard The 5th LW · 07-26-2010, 11:48 AM

Its a pointless threat. With Charlotte around, you will all die anyways.

Edit: Geminex, I demand that whenever Impact speaks, he uses Impact font rather than a color.

Astral Harmony · 07-26-2010, 03:26 PM

Do not use Impact Font. That's a little difficult to read.

I apologize to Geminex for putting all that out on a public thread. I think the main problem is that Geminex wants there to be a reason for all that he's going to end up doing. All I can think of is "Why does he need a reason? He's goddamn evil!"

Evil people haven't needed reasons since the Super Mario Brothers, even though it turned out that King Koopa kidnapped Peach because he was in love with her.

Anyways, I read everything, but I'm very pressed for time. I'll catch up and hopefully deal with everything when I get offa work.

That's true. All it takes is the firm belief that the world is better off with him ruling it.

Really? You sure you can't post now? Because, y'know, Menarker hasn't posted yet and it would be hilarious if he came back because he finished his awesome post that got eaten before just to find out that we've already moved on.

Nah, I'm just playin', take your time.

Astral Harmony · 07-26-2010, 09:26 PM

I got off of work early, and now I'm the one who is torn.

See, there's this Pokemon Umbral RP that I happen to be GMing.

But then, to my direct left, there's this little bundle of H-games that I just got in the mail.

It's so hard to juggle hobbies, y'know?

Relax, I'll have the post done tonight. I've waited over half a year for these games since they were announced. A little more time certainly wouldn't kill me.

EDIT 1: I'm not trying to bash Geminex or anything, but the ultimate problem lies in him getting to conquer the world the way he wants to. I've allowed for a lot of ridiculousness in this RP. A Lopunny sniping an airship out of the air and onto her enemies. Drunken women playing Twister with a half-demon lesbian. A train on tank treads with a huge laser cannon inside his chassis and a british accent. A Seaking who begins everything he says with "Fuck yeah!" A black Miltank Pokebrid codenamed Milkshake because she brings all the boys to the yard. An andromaid sniper wearing a dominatrix outfit underneath her maid outfit. A goth Gardevoir. An Almighty type demon that can be captured and trained like a Pokemon. References to popular Internet memes despite the fact that the original Pokemon world only seems to use the Internet for trading and battling Pokemon internationally. Letting Pierce make love to Shizuka.

Lots and lots of ridiculousness, eh? But the plot is ever-present, and sometimes not even I can bend it to allow for certain things. I'm sorry, Geminex, but even the mighty GM's hands are tied on this issue. I want to give you what you want because, yes, I truely believe that everyone should have fun in this RP and think you deserve what you want. But there are places where my floodgates must come down and cockblock you, much to my chagrin, and that goes for the other players.

Dracorion · 07-26-2010, 09:29 PM

Oh AB, where did you go wrong?

Menarker · 07-26-2010, 09:36 PM

Well, my post is up, so AB is free to post any time he wants I suppose.

Gee... between everyone trying to kill someone (aside from Renny and perhaps Matthias), I'm suprised nothing bad has happened yet.

Hell, I got some weird Monty Python thing going on in my head!

Impact: "I wanna kill Pierce!"
Pierce: "I wanna kill Impact! And Renny!"
Charlotte: " I wanna kill all of you!"
Renny: "Can't we just get along? I don't want to kill anyone!"
Impact: "You're just a whiny bitchy spoilsport!"
Pierce: "You just don't want to get killed!"
Renny: "In case you haven't noticed, Charlotte wants to kill both of you too! I just want to have tea and biscuit and we all be one happy family!"
Charlotte: "Shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP!!! We'll compromise..."
Renny: "Wow... really? That's really big of you. What's the compromise?"
Charlotte: "We'll kill Renny only and we'll have tea and biscuit! Agreed?"
Pierce and Impact: "Awesome! Agreed"
Renny: "Wait, I don't like that plan at...!" *LOP, THUD. Renny's head rolls on the ground.*

>_> Yeah...

Silly Dracorian. I went wrong the same way everyone else in life went wrong. By clicking on an Internet Explorer icon.
