[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Nathan isn't trying to subdue it. He's trying to interact with it. You're impeding that interaction, knowing full well out of game what you're doing. And in-game, for that matter, given your legendary empathy. Let Dragonstrike have his fun and stop sabotaging the efforts of other party members.

I am not trying to sabtouge or impede him, Iron, despite what it looks like. If I wanted to do that, I would have had Raphael/Ventus/Michale constantly gunning for that Absol, instead of taking care the other Pokemon. It has been pointed out rather clearly that even if Ventus KNOWS that his aid is thoroughly unappreciated, he will still offer it because he refuses to allow Nathan to be at risk what so ever, no matter how low that chance is now. Plus, I'd argue that my character is so caught up and focused on his goal and coordinating with his Pokémon that he's not paying attention to what his empathy is telling him about the situation.

Look, if you are just going to hard deny Ventus from being overprotective for legitimate character and in game reasons, then just prevent him from exiting the Running entirely. If you do that, then my character has no choice but to endure the rest of the event and let Nathan have his own moment of glory, to his charing. Otherwise,  what else I am supposed to do, have a infamously stubborn and paranoid guy decide to stop mid-way for literally no good reason (To him) and just turn around? If you didn't want Ven to follow after Nathan because of this eventually, just prevent him from doing so. I'm not actively trying to be a troll or ruin other's people's enjoyment, I just playing the game and doing what you said I could do earlier.
