Pokemon Umbral Theatre 11: Things That Make You Go Wuh? - Page 7

Oh yeah, I'm perfectly aware. But it's a fun little charade. And you all seem to play along astoundingly well.
And besides, it's not like I do it constantly.

Also, calling bullshit on the whole 'taking advantage' front. I'm not that bad, even when I am in full-blown cartoon villain mode.

Edit: Hell, come to think of it, we role-play as much in the discussion threads as we do in the actual RP threads. Very little of my manner is actually to be taken seriously.

Dracorion · 10-09-2010, 07:48 PM

Sure, why not.

Anyway, what do you all think about Elizabeth so far? Specifically, what do you think is wrong with her?

Geminex · 10-09-2010, 07:56 PM

You're writing her.

Okay, sorry. She's not bad. And we haven't seen too much of her. But obviously there was something between her and Pierce. How old are they both again?

And do elaborate on your post before that, please. You can't tell me 'I'm taking advantage of your mind-boggling arrogance' and then just drop it. I'm fine with implied insults as long as they're actually supported with evidence. So come on, out with it.

Dracorion · 10-09-2010, 08:07 PM

That'd be rather silly, wouldn't it?

Getting you to be paranoid is one thing. Actually telling you is another. After all, you don't even know if I really am trying to make you paranoid and in actuality there's nothing.

She's 22 and he's 24.

Also, I'm surprised you didn't figure it out.

It was a reasonable guess that she was working for Horace, after all. Sure, you didn't know much about her, so she could've been working for Faynoc as far as you knew. But those were the only two possibilities.

And if she was working for Horace, who said to Harliette he ran his own business (which presumably involved more people than Pierce, or he'd be bankrupt by now), and knowing that she humps anything with a pulse, and that I'm a sick bastard, well...

It was a definite possibility that they had something together. You may not have had enough evidence in-RP to know, but you could've considered the possibility, and the fact that, again, I'm a sick bastard should've pointed you in that direction.

...
But I can see why you wouldn't dedicate a lot of effort into figuring it out, even though I'm making it look more complicated than it is in this post.

Anyway, I guess I was worried you all thought I had second thoughts about making her such a bland character (WHORE) and decided to give her depth in the most horrible way possible.

Because seriously, that conversation between her and Pierce? Horrible.

BLUH BLUH
...
Yeah, I know, eloquent. Sue me. And what do you mean, Paranoia? Worst-case, I'm gonna be a little more careful in the future and consider my general strategy (GRAB ALL OF THE POWER) and our past agreements again. In fact, I've done so already. And if I hadn't, I might well have made a mistake some time in the future!
Thanks, man. Thanks.

Also, It's 3 AM. I should have been in bed an hour ago. Fuck your NPC's backstory and fuck you.
Also, fuck Liz. In a slightly different way (WHORE).

See ya.

Edit:
And I don't think she's bland. You can do a lot with her over-sexualness, if you do it right.

Moon shouldn't be contructing. We need that rage for later. This battle isn't gonna be easy, but let's not use too many resources just yet.

I don't quite see why you want Whitney out of combat? She does more damage than her pokemon, certainly. And she's not gonna get attacked, after all! If she gets knocked out, her pokemon go rogue!

...

Y'know, I'm half-suspecting you're being overprotective of your love interests. With this suspicion comes a realization that the only thing more annoying than Menarker-Determined-To-Min-Max is Menarker-With-A-Libido.
And trust me, if my suspicion turns out to be true?
I'll be eliminating that problem.
...
At the source.

No, there is no libido involved in the plan whatsoever.

The thing about the plan was to protect at least one person capable of reviving at any one time. Since you're the only PC at the moment in the group and thus the only person who could revive Lola if she was knocked out, it would have been wise for Impact to stay at the back until she was knocked out, then Impact could switch back in, revive Lola and switch out when he could.

>_> Or at least that was the idea. However, since Impact has NO revival items whatsoever, if Lola gets knocked out, that's it for your medic. >_> Your choice of items are questionable.

Also, we're using Mirror, not Moon.

As for Whitney, the longer she stays alive, the longer she can generate more rage for her to use Paradigm Shift or one of her Poke-sync techniques. She can't do that if she gets knocked out and that's spending lola's actions on reviving that could be spent on buffing people's attack or keeping those ones active. Basically, send out her bug pokemons, don't bother healing the first couple that gets knocked out, but focus on keeping Impact, Lola and Mirror in good shape, so they can use all their special abilities.

Also, for your Tailwind argument, there is already a counter for it if anyone tries to abuse it.
Trick Room, which practically reverses speed stats. For the purpose of this RP, we can make it so speed benefits are reversed for crit. So if Ninjask would have a +3 crit bonus for attacking a Baltoy or something, but Trick Room becomes activated, then not only does Ninjask not get the bonus, but Baltoy would get the +3 bonus instead.

And what attack are you talking about when you telling me that attacks are to scale? If you're referring to Gravity, that doesn't scale because it's a weather type ability as per Bulbapedia. It effects everyone on the field just like Sunny Day or Rain Dance does when someone uses it.

Sorry. Its been a busier week than I anticipated. May have some time tomorrow, but I'm tired for right now.

Here is a very small, incomplete thing. It is insignificant and uninspiring. I will edit onto it gradually tomorrow.

Matt: Psychic on Pulverot A
Charlotte: Spits to use Super Fang on Pulverot A. Hammond to use Dragon Claw on Narcham B
Cassus: Dragonite to use Dragon Rush on Pulverot A. Scizorto use x-scissor on Narcham B.
Kirie: Morphstrike (dragon) on Pulverot A. Entei to use fire blast on Narcham B.

Dracorion · 10-09-2010, 10:20 PM

No Trainer Actions for Charlotte?

Menarker · 10-09-2010, 11:23 PM

At least this gives AB plenty of time to do whatever he wants, including the sprite comic. ^^
