Pok?mon Umbral Discussion 10: PvPing Inside and Outside the RP

[Bard The 5th LW]

I just went and sent the email.Included the new URL. Posting just so all of us don't go ahead and do it.

[Dracorion]

I don't think it's so much that he doesn't know about the new forums.

I think yesterday may have been his duty day.

[Geminex]

What does duty for him involve anyway?

Also, I just realized: This RP had an honest-to-god, non-intentional cliffhanger. When I got up in the morning to see what the reactions to Impact's coup/call for democracy had been, I got the accursed error screen. I could practically hear an announcer's voice in the back of my head, going: "Will Impact get the votes he needs? Will Rayleen intervene? How will Faynoc's agents strike? Will Pierce finally confess his undying love for Tyranitar? Find out next time, on Pokemon Umbral!"

Also, we need some kind of crazy, wacky battle where this is BGM:

Because I'd actually have an excuse to continuously play it.

[Dracorion]

Beats the hell out of me.

The value of the cliffhanger is diminished because AB already told us that Renny's staying leader.

Though who knows, maybe he changed his mind during downtime.

[Geminex]

I didn't know that. I signed off right after I answered Menarker. I didn't get my hopes up, though I did spend an hour trawling various websites to see if I couldn't find out what the conclusion had been.

So for me? Massive cliffhanger.

Edit: And I don't think that AB'll change his mind. And that's fine.

...

So, who would everyone have voted for? Tell me.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I choked a little laughing at that link. I'm going to have to keep it running for another 30 minutes. Maybe favorite it.

And I think AB once said that he keeps machinery working or something. Not sure, twas a while ago.

And you can be assured Charlotte is taping this entire debate on her new digital camera now, to catch a potential Christian Bale flip-out. Alas, the camera will almost definitely be destroyed at some point during the mission, in a deliberate way to annoy Charlotte.

[Dracorion]

I am so very, very tempted to have Pierce nominate Charlotte as team leader. It would put an end to the debate once and for all.

Though I'm trying to figure out how to justify it. Maybe Pierce thinks it'd be easier to usurp power from Renny? Then again, I'm not sure he'd do that, and he'll assume Impact is better at it than himself anyway.

Anyway, let's try not to post too much. When we do that, AB ends up skimming through the pages and stuff gets unanswered. I know most of this stuff, specifically leadership and everything about Enmakki and Pierce's team, is stuff I'd like AB to get back to me on.

Pierce would've voted for himself, if they went by Impact's nominations. Or Renny, if it came down to a general vote.

[Menarker]

Or maybe the group will figure that Renny is being "promoted above his competence level" and that like the pointy hair boss in Dilbert who was promoted a few steps too high, the real power may very well be in the group. However, since Renny isn't actually dumber than a paperclip but has a very generously open policy, Impact or whomever will push for policies or things to put into action using carefully chosen words thus making it SEEM like Renny is in charge when the reality may not be so.

But yeah, looking forward to AB coming back "Hey bitches! I got some stuff for you guys!". :3

It should be fun!

Also, to answer Geminex's question which AB already answered in a previous thread, AB's job is to maintain equipment especially those that have far outlasted the warrenty or expiration date so as to save the military money instead of having to contantly buy new tools or such. This is what I remember.

[Dracorion]

I would bet money that the bastard will keep us waiting for another day. Probably more. For some reason.

What kinda stuff would he have, anyway? Reassert that Renny's staying leader, answer a few questions. Maybe give the upgrades you all were whining for.

Yeah, I know that much. But that's his day-to-day task, isn't it? He does that every day. Whereas he only has "duty" about once a week (or so it seems to me). So what's duty?

Maybe give the upgrades you all were whining for.

Speaking of which, I do have one more request. I'm fine with getting any extra accessories later, but one additional thing would be nice: I'd greatly welcome it if I could carry an additional weapon of any category. Particularly if we're going to be PVPing. Just to make Impact a bit more versatile, in parallel with the trainers getting another two slots for their second leader's moveset.
