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

[Lord Windos]

Argh dangit, this is why it helps to have the players also post their dice pools.

Ventus, you would know Sage is trying to catch a Pokemon. It's quite obvious when this goes on.

Also, meta-wise, it would have to be an XP bid when you have one player who wants to knock it out and one player who wants to catch it as-is. Doesn't matter the justification - it's meta once it gets that far.

If it faints in the middle of a round when no one has announced an intention, that would definitely be different (which is technically what should have occurred here).

For now though my ruling is that we'll just pause for the night with Poliwhirl at 1hp and give Shiva a chance to catch it. I doubt she wants to, but I'll make Sage's roll in the morning.

I was not aware that knocking out a Pokémon started a bidding war, since the person could just catch the KOed Pokémon anyway, but now that I am aware of that, I'll just delete my post and let Sage have his chance at catching the Poliwhirl. I'm not trying to be difficult here, I was just honestly unaware that Knocking it out constitute a bidding war in this situation, and that Ventus would automatically know that Sage's chara desire to catch the Pokémon. After all, it has never been made a point that a Capture is always noticeable, regardless of vocalized intent or not. Sorry about the trouble, guys...
