Pokemon Umbral Discussion 26

[Geminex]

I could have sworn he used to be 19, though...

Ah well. Just means that he's been taking orders from a guy several years younger than him. No matter.

[Menarker]

Back from work.

Hey, you guys said I couldn't Retcon Renny's age and now you're letting Charlotte?
And just because Charlotte is 10 years older than Shannon? Hell, my character is underage, and I'm practically trying to romance someone who is 8 years older. (Cause you guys won't let me ret-con it somehow.)

Anyhow, Drac, I don't think Pierce, or anyone for that matter (aside from Lola), would know about Renny's Prosperous Gift in character. Same as Serene Blessing before hand.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Charlotte's age ain't getting a retcon, so don't worry. And I'd say there's a bit of a difference between making a 29 year a few years younger and making a 16 year old 4-5 years older. But who cares what I say? I don't.

[Menarker]

Well, I only intended 2 maybe 3 years at most, but yeah, I get what you mean.

Anyhow, going to see if I can make a post. A post taking place chronologically just before Pierce's speech is possible, so Renny can inform the group of that Prosperous Gift ability (although not with that name. You think he'd actually name his techniques and shout it out manga style?)

Drac won't have to edit much at all. Just the name thing.

I'll let AB decide how Renny somehow manages to multiply Rocket Booster, since I might have the wrong perception of how they should work. (AB said that they are drugs of sort, since he hinted that there will never be any item (healing or attack item) that gives more than 25 rage or drain more than 25 rage or it would probably kill them...)

Funny thing is, we would WANT an attack item that was potent enough to kill the foe upon application. I imagine AB meant that it would be impossible to make the attack item any more potent. ^^;

[Dracorion]

I edit nothing.

Except, y'know, that I forgot to modify Renny's part of the plan so that he has Swampert use Stone Edge on Altarisect.

But the name stays the same. Consider Pierce as just having named your Signature Sequence.

[Geminex]

Don't get too big for your boots, my friend. You have given orders. Leave Renny his own naming rights.

Edit: Actually, never mind. I just realize, I forgot to ask...

How will Impact's acceptance of Pierce's momentary authority modify the picture of Impact that Pierce has?

[Dracorion]

I'm just too lazy to edit my post for that and providing an alternative explanation.

And my giving orders shouldn't bother you. It was mostly my plan, except for a couple of changes that you and Menarker proposed. I think your problem is that Impact didn't get to give any orders at all.

EDIT: A good deal, actually. Pierce will definitely think better of Impact. Assuming Impact actually follows Pierce's advise. Basically, he has to leave the team some breathing room and stop treating them like robot soldiers.

You know, until the truth comes out.

I agree that it shouldn't bother me. See my edit.

And was it mostly your plan? Really?
a) I designated priorities, modelled our enemies' attack resistances
b) the only reason I didn't come up with my version earlier is this pesky sleep business

I'm willing to relinquish some credit, but you should be getting, at most, 60%, and you have to share that with Menarker. So, 40/40/20?

But ok, screw it. It's done. Just... next time, perhaps mention that you want to give orders before actually starting the post?

Edit:

Basically, he has to leave the team some breathing room and stop treating them like robot soldiers.

Ok... but how to do that? Should he just be limiting himself to more general strategic advice, and we assume that everyone follows the plan we make OOC out of their own initiative? Cause that could work.

And the truth won't "come out" until ever national flag in the world features Ray Greene and 6 pairs of duelling ninjas. No, Pierce will draw a conclusion by using his incredible intellect and supernatural powers of deduction. He's like sherlock holmes all up in this bitch. And based on that unsupported conclusion, he'll stop supporting Impact. And I'll claim that moderate favor whenever I like.

[Dracorion]

Yeah, I'll do that.

Also, see my edit before.

Although, God help me, I'd like to propose an alternative: How about Impact delegates to Pierce and Renny? We all formulate a plan together in discussion and then you post most of it in the RP. Impact gives the overall plan, telling who we should concentrate on and what kind of attacks we should hit them with and perhaps even recommend choices (try not to use this one too much) and he gives specific orders down to pokemon and moves to Matthias, Charlotte, the Engineer, Sniper and Destroyer (if we have one). Meanwhile, Renny gets to pick his pokemon and moves and do the same for the Medic, and Pierce picks his pokemon and moves and do the same for the Shock Trooper.

Good gods, get some subtlety. That PM was pathetic.

As for this, I'll consider it. I still prefer my proposal, it'd make for a more fluid game.
