[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

You know, Kee is supposed to be the Leader of this mission, yet it seems to be falling to Pyra more often than not (or just plain most of the time) to try and solve the group's interpersonal conflicts (even the ones she started or made worse herself). Not sure if that is an intentional delegation of responsibilities or not (Kee's the Navigation and Priority Leader, while Pyra is the group's Lieutenant), or simply because no one else want to be the Pokemon that has to deal with these problems. (...)

That is true, and it's very appreciated that Pyra is/has been intercepting when conflicts arise. As stated in GameThread in my latest post, I'd kinda like for Kee to either help her with that or plain try to act as mediator himself if things continue to be difficult among the team, both for in-chara and outta-chara reasons - if that's fine with you, that is? Kinda would have tried so before already, but 1. the slow pace of the campaign made it hard for me to get a decent mindset for the conflict situations and therefor didn't quite know how to properly act, and 2. I didn't really wanted Kee to, well, take sides with anyone of the team in particular. They all are a team and he values everyone who's a member, he freaking wants them to act like a good team!

Thank you, dear! Your offer of help is fully accepted - heck, I don't mind you doing the party mending before I can get to it, and neither would Pyra for that matter. She's remarkably simple when you get down to the brass tacks with her: she wants to love her friends, keep them safe and well, and make sure they're living as happily and fulfilled as possible. Also KILL/MAIM/DESTROY THE DARKNESS.

Hopefully once we leave this MD and Dragonstrike restarts the pacing of the campaign we can all start rocketing forward in our sessions. I personally want everyone to at least check in the forums once a day to see if any progress has been made, and then make Meta Thread posts as needed to explain when/if they're going to post. We used to do that with Irons, and that one was able to proceed at a rocket pace until we 'beat it' and entered into the Post Game. Why not just do it again for Dragonstrikes?

As for the sides issue, sometimes you have to do that in order to decisively end a dispute, or just punish both sides equally if you want to be fair and completely unbiased in your discipline. Part of being a Leader is knowing when to make the hard decisions and bashing some heads in to get them on properly, or otherwise nothing will get done at times or things will gradually get worse. Heck, in practical terms most of the team sans Kogeki have consistently been opposed to Pyra's non-combat Ideas and been repeatidly cracking down on her behavoir, and she has continued to grown and become a greater Pokemon for it. Why not give some hard knocks to others, if the results prove themselves?
