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

Ah, that moment. Yeah....I can why you brought it up. I would argue that Terra did give everyone sufficient warning to what he was doing before he went of and tried to sacrifice himself, and therefore gave everyone a chance to react 'fairly', but I'm splitting hairs at this point. Part of the reason why I made that decision was that Terra was so slow he couldn't have gotten away from Mew and didn't think that Teleporting out was an option, so I made the most of a bad situation by leaving him to die so that the others could escape unmolested. I'm glad that didn't have to happen at all, and I don't think I done this before, so I would like to thank you for that mate. Appreciate you saving my chara's life, even though he and I didn't entirely agree with the decision at first!

Again, I am always under the assumption that things can be explain IC in some fashion almost anytime/anywhere, but since this is a difference of opinion we have, let's agree to disagree on this, shall we? Oh, and what is that trait you are talking about? Got me curious, now that you bring it up and explain it a bit...

Finally, I have no problems at ALL playing your character straight, but I would say that its also more than acceptable to deviant from IC behavior if it goes towards promoting unity/goodwill IC and OOC. As a couple of examples, I can have/had Terra act remarkably Insightful/Knowledgable despite his deficiency in both area outside of what he knows/had been trained in for the shake of making conversations easier, and suppressed his worry/defensiveness to prevent wasting others time/causing conflict . For me, playing my character is trying to strike the right balance between doing it IC and OOC for the shake of mine and everyone else's fun and enjoyment, but that is just my gameplay philosophy, so I'm not going to cram it down your throat. We each do us, and we try our best to work together happily, right?

That's all I have to say on this, and hopefully it doesn't come off as needlessly provocative. Peace, mate?

Doesn't sound provocative, so no need to worry about that.

You're welcome.  Helping people out of a jam is pretty second nature to Nathan, tbh, and he'll almost always default to helping out in any way he can.  So long as he thinks he can do something to help, that is.

'Every life is worth something to someone, as precious as Premier Balls are among trainers and collectors alike. It's the most precious gift you can both give and receive.'  Paraphrasing it, but I stated it awhile back (as something that Marco emphasized with Nathan), and many, many, many of Nathan's actions have been based around that philosophy, and will continue to be so in the future.  It's one of Nathan's most core values, and he wouldn't be the same if he just ignored it entirely for any old reason.


So long as we actually can find a middle ground where we can all work together properly.  I was 99% certain that Shiva was going to prioritize the PTC over the Electabuzz, and thus remove Terra from the Electabuzz action by extension.  Honestly, I don't think there was enough time to convince anyone to do otherwise, so I didn't really see any reason to try to do that.  Better to do what I know I can do to help when there's not much time to 'hm' and 'hah' over what everyone could be doing, imo.  Not to rag on anyone's decisions, I just figured that'd be the best course of action in this scenario since there was trouble brewing.
