[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Dragonstrike]

......I could fault you for setting up things in deliberately such a way that it would cause intense stress on them, but given all the shit I put you guys through with regular encounters, I'm willing to give you leeway for this. Just try not to make things like that for Arial/Spiritmon in the future if you can help it. Its fine for me to do it since I'm the main source of conflict and you guys always will get something out of me putting you through the wood chipper, but to do it to each other is were IC conflicts starts bleeding over to OOC, and the chance of either character turning on each other increases exponentially. I'm fine with betrayel, going against each other's desires, and simply character fucking about with each other in game, but not to the point it starts fucking with the players IRL.

This is really a special exception to what I usually try to do concerning my character interaction stuff, but I'll keep that in mind for the future.

I intentionally made it unclear, btw.  If I stated what I was doing at the time, yes, the results might have been...nicer, but they wouldn't have quite been in the form I wanted them to be in.  I wanted that choice Arial made to be difficult to make, and I wanted it to be as genuine and uninfluenced as I could manage.

Its okay for me too. As much tempt it is now to drop the shit in ventilator and simple kick out of the campaigh...I still going to continue in respect and consideration of Windos. Just one thing @Dragonstrike. Its creating conflict anymore Windos, just a friend tip.

If a player dont feel comfortable about a battle, or you deliberaty create a situation such a force pokemon battle in the future, to avoid conflict or stress between parts, please, PLEASE be the most clear possible next time Dragonstrike. And I mean in any place or campaigh: In Skull Ruins, in Celadon City or your own campaigh to act as master Dragonstrike. And I really mean that man. Dont force your opinion or force umcofortable battles without a reason. Both IC or OOC.

Thats my last sentence of the subject. So lets keep things down please.

You're bringing a very important and valid thing up there that plays quite a role on the having-fun-playing part, Spirit. Thank you.

I'm not sure whether or not what Arial said was a good thing or not, but I don't think its provokatory enough for Reiner to get angry/MORE angry about, and I'm making that statement as a DM to be applied to the game so that Dragonstrike doesn't have to/can't escalate the situation any further than now. I am also fully approving of Arial calling a break to let the Electric Field AND Heavy Rain die down, and I can let Mr. Mime come in at this moment to interrupt things and call a time out if necessary. Your characters can use that ' Break Time' to calm down in game and get their heads on straight before continuing the fight. Whatever the case, I don't want either your two IC or OOC getting angry at each other for the rest of the battle unless its for actually good reasons, which will be discussed in the Meta Thread as needed before a reaction is made.

Got that all, mates?

[Spiritmon]

I got it.

Hmmm..both Rain and Terrain?  Well, if you want to pull that, okay.  Terrain wears off before the Rain, though, so Rain could have 1 Round left.

Of course, what would you rather have happen, @Spiritmon? Yang restores 3 HP, or restores only 2 HP but only has 1 Round of Rain left? Your test, your call.

I also will not hide Reiner's switches for the rest of the battle, btw. Just for the sake of a little more fluidity. (And also as a slight apology if that's okay)

Apologies accept my friend. We were both reckless and we said nasty things to each other. I will not say what gonna be my next pokemon. At least not yet. Still need to think careful my next course of action. We were both stupid in this battle.

I think I let Yang restore 3 HP. The rain still dangerous to increase the power of Yang Water moves, and I not gonna give your dragon that kind of advantage.

Take your time.  Just know Yang is your current opponent.

Then let it be so.  I shall edit things accordingly.

Ya know, I just had a thought...what would happen if you combined Thunderstorm with Electric Terrain?  Aside from the 'all electric moves used by grounded pokemon get +2-4 damage dice, Thunder has no accuracy penalty, no grounded pokemon can fall/remain asleep, and non-electric/ground types take extra Electric damage every other round' part.

Yata is going to love the day when Zephy is released and Electric Terrain finally becomes usable in Uranium (without Metronome shenanigans).  Gonna be having a field day with those Thunders.

*Shivering in terror with the though* That would make Yata become even more terrified as a Pseudo-Legendary.
