Pokemon Umbral Discussion 20: Now With New Discussion Thread Smell!

[Geminex]

And I thought Geminex sent me a PM saying everyone agreed that he was the leader?

Eh. I have Charlotte's support now, and Renny and Pierce will gradually come around. Hell, Renny didn't actually give me a time limit, so I could, in theory, claim it right now. That'd give me 3/5. I won't, mind you, but I could. So be nice.

And as for "Enmakki wants world domination".
Fair enough. So you have justification.
But see, it doesn't come down to Impact vs. Enmakki.
It's Drac vs. Gem.
You really think you could be successful?

And hell, sure, James Bond villains tend to lose. But that just means that my own plans for world domination are going to be unsuccessful. Impact? Impact's going to blow you all away.
But anyway, enough with the insulting.

Signature techniques...

I really don't know whom to get a co-op with. I take it that Dinner's unavailable... So what to do? Kirie? Do I wait to see what the new recruits're like? Gimme some advice, people!
And I'm still working on my own technique as well. I can't give him mind-control yet, or I'd do that. So... assasination? Shock and awe? Lemme think...

And are Slayers gonna get items comparable to what trainers are getting right now?

And yeah, May as well.

[Dracorion]

There is never enough insulting going on.

You could always get one with Rayleen. Or yeah, Kirie, although I can't see Impact and her having too much in common.

Assassination is probably your best bet at a Signature Technique.

And hey, lay off the customs. You get badass accessories. And you get to carry six items.

That's because Renny is mostly supportive to just about anyone so long as he/she has good ideas and doesn't betray his trust or say something which could imply that as a chance. Impact could feasibly request temporary leadership for a mission, giving a plan and how he might go about it, and if it sounds good, Renny might pass on some authority. Repeat until Renny is either no longer considered a leader or until Impact screw up or until he reveals his true nature.

I'd say no on custom items for same reasons. You don't even get to use hold items, and technically the trainers don't get them either. They are pokemon unique. Hence why you got accessories. At best, you could request a custom accessory in a future update or so from AB.

And yeah, May as well.

Amen to that, my brother!

[Dracorion]

You two are silly.

Why be content with one when you can pick both?

[Geminex]

Hence why you got accessories.

We get accessories to make up for the fact that our attacks only do damage, with no side-effects. We get 6 items and better stats to make up for the fact that there's only one of us.

Impact could feasibly request temporary leadership for a mission, giving a plan and how he might go about it, and if it sounds good, Renny might pass on some authority.

This bit confuses me. Does Renny have any authority to pass on? Rayleen scrapped the "make Renny leader" plans. He's no more in charge than Charlotte is, officially.
...
Right?

[Menarker]

You're forgetting that your stats start at psuedo legendary and will only go up higher and now you got the ability to re-use your accessories as part of the Rage system.

Well, the vote never actually got made on whether to remove Renny's position and Rayleen never actually revoked Renny's leadership. Hence why I said what I said.

Same thing still roughly apply. Renny is pretty supportive, but it's something you can only count on if you make it seem like your idea is the best and most plausible one, although Renny is willing to help out think of ideas to make a decent plan even better if the opening is there.

Really? Because y'know, looking at the descriptions for Slayer weapons, seems to me like a lot of them can cause status effects. You get accessories to make up for the fact that you don't get stat decreases or increases and shit, and also as your custom items.

But hey, like Menarker said, AB would probably let you come up with your own custom accessories, so go nuts.

Right?

Renny is definitely leader. Definitely. Sure. Forever. Why not?

EDIT: Seriously now, in response to the above post, both Rayleen and AB relented on making Renny leader. We agreed that he would lead for his sidequest, but that's it.

[Geminex]

Well, the vote never actually got made on whether to remove Renny's position and Rayleen never actually revoked Renny's leadership. Hence why I said what I said.

Well, now, that isn't

Ah. Well, then I guess you all hold joint leadership.

correct now,

"Well, if Mister Tresserhorn is in agreement, then I apologize for taking matters in my own hands. I may be the District Chief, but you're now an official squad. I really should learn to stop babying my own subordinates."

is it?

Rayleen never directly said "Renny is no longer leader", but come on. She's saying that she shouldn't have pronounced Renny leader. That's a demotion right there, my friend.

As for the slayer accessories, ok, screw that. I'm in no mood for a discussion.

[Menarker]

Ah, I see where you're coming from. Fair enough. But that hardly changes how Renny tends to behave anyhow and it's barely counts as a hurdle to get his support, so it's not like anything really changed. You just gotta make it sound like the best idea in the room and you'll likely get his approval. Even more so if you actually take what he says seriously and not shut him down like time he suggested the bank robbery might have been organized.

[Dracorion]

The time he suggested the bank robbery might have been organized was wild speculation. I mean, come on, what evidence did he have to support that? All we knew was that a group of thieves had decided to steal something valuable.

He only recently just found out that there was another party involved.
