[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Back on the topic of Juni, though, any opinions on whether we should tell the truth about what happened or try to concoct a story instead, Windos?  And anyone else who has any ideas.


Back off topic, if I'm not responding as quickly as usual today, it's probably because I'm playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!  Everyone is dead here!  Woo hoo!  Or, they will be when I eventually unlock all of the characters...

If we fabricate a story, then we'd have to find a way to rationalize how the hecky we managed to find two people that had been declared missing/gone underground (Thrawn and Juni), get Bill and most likely Dagney on board and help us, and generally speaking make the story in such a way the group doesn't get called out for any inconsistencies and gets slammed with purgery/subterfuge charges and/or Juni getting to walk because the group become flaky as baklava. In other words, making up a cover story is going to be a big old mess that could collaspe on us at anytime if we are not utterly RIGOROUS and comprehensive in building it.

Frankly, I find that to be MUCH too busy work and risky (As making a GREAT cover story falls to us OOC, and the consequence are severe IC if we balls it up), so I say we just tell the truth about the whole matter. Get Bill to back the group up,  maybe waggle the Moltres Egg/Bring up Celebi's involvement (When in doubt, its a Legendary's fault/blessing!) and Hilda around (Since they've been time traveling and not, they can act as a credible witness to our groups escapades) for more credibility, then have Dagney and Thrawn handle the whole management aspect of the case while the group turns over most of the Scimitar related tech and info to them (The Drives and at least one Gauntlet should stay with the group, along with any cloaks we managed to flinch) to start chipping away at them. 

In the meantime, the group continue to explore the region after offering their single story to authorities, foiling Scims and Shady Almanac business whenever they can + reporting/keeping anything they get from them, and we simply continue our quest in the meantime until Plot Happens! or we decide to go hunting for Treasures, such as the HMs, or other Legends/Artifacts to support our cause. Either that, or we can totally shift gears and focus on really cracking down on the Scimitars and Almanac until they are no longer a concern, then go back to regular questing/saving the region.

That's my take on things: Come clean or mostly clean (We could always say Bill accidentally/purposely sent us through time with his experimental tech, if we don't want to rely on saying 'Celebi caused it to happen!' ), and then just let Thrawn + Dagney/any other credible high ranking authority figure we have friendly relations with to handle the legal mumbo jumbo while the group can just continue their own business ASAP. Its simple, clean, and effective.......hopefully.

Hey, @Lord Windos, I had a random thought I wished to hear your opinion about: Do you think Pangoro and Shiranui would get along with one another or at least be interested in meeting each other once, could we maybe have them both spar with one another in a shared Training Session at some point or such (doesn't matter when exactly)? Mostly came up due to them both being so big, bulky and very strong when it comes to deliver punches, seeing them clash and compete to test their strength would be something I'd find interesting to see.

Ohhhh....sweet mother of Arceus. My head hurts. Finish some of my study of math today. Me and math we are sworn frenemies. Still have percentage to finish it. Gonna make a quick post then return to my study.

Shiranui probably be a bit skeptical of sparing with a Dark type or becoming friends with one (given their propensity for trickery or brutality), but with Pangoro I think he'd be happy to duke it out with them so long as thing remained fair. The panda protector has a more Anti Heroic personality that straight up Evil or mischevious/diabolical, so while the sumo wrestler might object to some of their extremes he'd be able to relate with and get along with their common desire to be defenders and superior Fighting warriors. 

Of course, given Pangoro is a Dark type, and sort of match between them and Shiranui would probably result in them getting Arm Thrusted into oblivion, so the martial monster would have to hold back a bit to make things not horribly lopsided, which might offend/piss off the Endangering Species...

@Spiritmon, that message was sent to Bill, not Heart and Nathan.  Shiva was mainly offering to send the PTCs back to Bill ASAP and sending him a message while doing so.

Oh. Sorry. My head still spin a little after the study and I might confuse the post. Erasing post right away.

Ahh my dear, not all Dark Types are straight up evil or diabolical, Yena's rather kind and compassionate towards me I feel!~But, yes, I get what you mean concerning a tendency of members of this Type leaning towards acting mischievous and mean, probably even more 'openly mischievous and sly' than Fairies who are more 'mischievous and sly on the second look'. I like Pangoro being described with a personality of an Anti-hero, sounds fitting!

Humm, maybe it doesn't sound like the best idea to have Shiranui and the panda spar if the former has to hold back or such, but I'd still like to have them maybe meet at some point just to see how they'd react to each other - I'd leave that to Iron to come up with at least from my panda's viewpoint. No hurry in that though!

Iron already stated something about the Encounter Clock at the first page of the Thread, maybe you missed the last sentence of mine. Here's the link once more: http://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthrea...9#pid10769

Last time he reset the encounter clock immediately after a lurch was right after we met Jirachi and were magically revitalized.

We also just did battling Juni, catching her grunts, catching Juni, training, wild encounters, and receiving eggs from Arcanine without any rest.  I don't think the group can get away with doing another encounter without being exhausted and haven't yet seen anything in the gamethread that definitely, 100% says otherwise.

I'm remaining skeptical until Iron confirms the encounters have been reset.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Fine, let us not get into fighting over that as that's not worth it, instead simply waiting for direct GM's input is the better decision.

[Iron]

Encounters did not reset, I simply erased all the time travel information. It's really more like Encounter Clock: 3, even though it's only early afternoon.
