Pokemon Umbral Discussion 21: We'll Get To Mission 3 Eventually... - Page 8

They did it for convience of a comfortable bed in a house with few good sleeping locations. Hell, AB said that Harriette in particular had no affection for Renny. Besides, you're doing the same thing with Chizuru and Shizuka in different manner (and you actually boned Shizuka while Renny hasn't gotten further than hugs. No kisses or anything). There is no reason why you, me, Impact or Matthias can't try to be nice to all the NPCs. Renny was nice to everyone from the start and rather in character. No sneaky tricks involved.

Also, I'll be waiting on AB in regards to the item that Gem pointed out. If AB says 3, fine.

or you get in the good graces of all the chicks and end up sharing a bedroom with them.

Considering that he can't actually take the relationship any further than this, is this a good thing? I mean, in bed with drunk, sexy girls but his alignment and decency prevents him from actually having sex with them? That's torture.

Edit: Menarker, he won't be changing it unless you agree to it. I'm asking you to voluntarily nerf it a bit.

Exactly, I roleplayed the struggle earlier in the RP how his anxiousness of dealing with the situation he was put in! He'll be likely one of the last ones to actually score a girl.

Let me see if I can put it in a dating sim example.

Let's say that the relationship meter had a catagory of Hate, Neutral, Friendship and Love and assume that most girls start at Neutral.

Pierce seems to be the one with slow growth in friendship, but once he actually reaches up toward the love plataeu, he can actually move through love fairly fast. (Although it's possible that if he screws up it'll drop that fast too.)

Impact... seems like he got average growth everywhere and average penalty. A Mario character in a way.

Hypothetically, if Matthias was to start on the dating scene, his entire development is slow, but any "penalties" he make for a misstep will probably be low too regardless of where he is in that meter.

Renny (in my view) has a super fast friendship rating, making it easier to get people from neutral to friendship and keep it that way easily with little to no drop if he makes a mistake in that range. But his growth into the love region is sluggish because of all the various factors like his age which makes the girls think more than twice before considering anything romantic with him. (And if he makes a mistake, it'll probably drop fast too)

(Of course, this is just for comparision sake.)

As for the item, fine, I'll make it 3 turns, since Pierce's item is also 3 turns. I'm tempted to request that in return, the ability to use non damaging foe targeting moves to be allowed (which it is currently not).

I have a reason.

But it's a pretty selfish one, really.

EDIT: Where does Impact rank in your dating sim analogy?

I just heard that song and thought that we could totally write some new lyrics for that...

Renny: I love Lola!
Pierce: I love Chizuru!
Fujiko (appears behind Renny, grinning): I love Shota!
Moon's Harem: And we all love Moon!
Impact: I hate the whole world! I hope to rule it soon!
....
Ok, not very well thought out, but you get the picture. We should totally write a few verses.

Impact doesn't rate very well in the dating sim web. A lot of girls find his mannerisms and his pauses during speech to be very creepy and highly suspect, which leads to a lot of repulsion. Alcohol will help someone talk to him, like Calisto did, but as for developing any kind of romantic bond? Sorry, but Impact needs to work on his presentation. Even when he isn't trying to be romantic, he could kill his chance for romance with just idle chatter if he keeps talking and acting that way.

By the way, I'm not done with the database. I just got home. Plenty of time to work on it (I hope), so I figured it couldn't hurt to at least post about that.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got filthy hentai to watch and a database to work on.

Geminex · 05-19-2010, 02:45 AM

What mannerisms?
As for the pauses in speech, that's just what I do!

And besides, he hasn't tried to be charming yet. He might be capable of that.

Astral Harmony · 05-19-2010, 03:09 AM

...Pffft.

And to Menarker, I say 3.

Geminex · 05-19-2010, 03:13 AM

Ok, ok, I'll try to get him to actually be nice to people.

...

Y'know, maybe I should also try to actually be nice to people...
...
Naaaah.

Astral Harmony · 05-19-2010, 04:19 AM

Okay, here's what's going down. The Battle System Tutorial is almost done. The only reason it's not done is I'm fuckin' lazy.

But, the characters are done, as are details of the DSS and RPS. So, what I did is post it in the first post of this discussion thread. It provides an assload of data that you already should know, but will also provide much data on things I never told you yet, like the upgrades for the NPCs.

Please review it and ask questions. I know there's going to be a lot of 'em. As for me, I've been dying to play the fanslated dating sim game Shuffle. I loved the anime (a little too much drama, mind you, but damn entertaining) and I can't wait to try out the game.

Peace, homies. No RP post tonight (I'm lazy, remember?) but that document will give you plenty to read. I'll answer as much as I can tomorrow afternoon, soon's I get offa work.
