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

[Dragonstrike]

Oh, I didn't comprehend it that way at all...

Also I know we're not doing the 1HP rules because Ventus already ordered Apsis not to hold back. Maybe we should make a habit of clarifying that right away from now on, although it's more for flavor than anything else. It's not League-standard, just a common agreement trainers make to keep their Pokemon healthy. Much like Nightshade's offer to Shiva, actually.

I think Gengar could almost certainly have timed his Destiny Bond to still go off at the victorious blow, though, so are you OK with leaving it as is?

I would have thought the 'remove from the fight' part of the order would have been enough, seeing as Porygon has only ever participated in battles with the 1 HP rule so far...the whole intent of the order was to try and avoid triggering Destiny Bond since it only works when the user faints.  If Nathan wants to faint the opponent, he'll likely state that in his orders if the situation doesn't immediately call for it (like what I just attempted to convey).

Seeing as Windos already dropped that card without me noticing though (during the very same round I stated the assumption that we were playing by that rule, no less), I guess I'll let it slide...Porygon2 is a rather logical creature, anyways, as well, so a logical misinterpretation is still technically following the orders, I guess...I've still got a plan, at least, so this is just a minor setback if we keep it...

However, a lot of the PMs I've been exchanging with Windos also assumed we were using the 1 HP rule, and he never corrected me on that either... :/

I'm kinda torn.  There's a logical side to it, but there's also a fairness side to it in that I feel I was lead on just a little because I missed three little words in the orders for Round 2 and nobody pointed it out...
