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

[Iron]

You win at any official game - what level is considered "winning" is different for each game. Sometimes you may need multiple successes on your roll.

Games of chance don't count, including Magikarp Game and Shellder Game. I think all the other games have a CarnyCoin in their prize pool.

[Lord Windos]

Looks like Ventus is not earning any tokens this event, unless Nathan ropes him into an activity. Shame, I wanted to challenge the gym leader...

[Iron]

You could challenge a trainer to a battle with the last $100 on your Sawsbuck Token and double it on up.

I think I'll drop a for-profit quest your way after tomorrow's IRL roadtrip. I already have some assignments for Shiva all cooked up, once we finish talking to Valder.

[Lord Windos]

Oh? Well, I'm glad Ventus is not going to be totally broke. Keep in mind that I am also paying mercenary, so Ventus is going to be quite interested in making lots of money in the future... So, how do I find a trainer to challenge at the festival? Do I go up to one of the boards? Oh, and is Poison allowed in Ginger Town?

[Iron]

Poison is allowed here.

How about we do this for trainers: Just make a post on the board saying how much you want to bet and any other rules like how many Pokemon, and I'll come up with a suitable encounter.

There are trainers here from all over, so you can find a battle of any magnitude up to $1000, and the challenge will scale appropriately.

I think that was a joke.

Valder, you can say you already spent some $$ before you met these folks, as long as you don't buy anything solely because of what you learned in the conversation.

Yeah, it was a joke  

Okay, I'll add 4 pokeballs to my inventory then. I'll pay of course.

[Lord Windos]

While I like our conversation, due to being in different time zones, the pacing of its is...slow, to put it politely. I just wish there was a way to speed things up, so that you, me, and Dragonstrike can do other activities without being locked in a stalled interrogation. No offense meant, of course.

Yeah, I feel the same. sorry on my behalf . This is my first role-playing game. I'll strive for greater effectiveness!

Nevermind, eventually you'll get a feeling when the other participants they are usually on.

@Dragonstrike and @Lord Windos, so you both want/wanted to battle Zamboni? Because if the circumstances allow (it's no 'must'), I'd be quite happy to watch your battles in-game. Maybe I'll also take on one of the Trainers that are usually fought in a gym before facing the Leader. Unless this is no point in Chreshire?

Also heading back to the Center now for meeting up again.

[Lord Windos]

Its less of a problem with you, are more of a problem with the time zones we occupy. I'm asleep until around noon, while you are just probably about ready to go to bed at that time, I assume. The only solution I could think that would solve this is if we styled our post that allowed us to talk to each other, but also do things at our own pace. Like we could have an ongoing conversation, while doing some task.

Or having a conversation take place, but then 'fast foward' past it and do activities as if we finished (When we had not). The conversation can restart once all parties are on and posting at roughly the same time, but it takes place in 'The Past', not interfering with ongoing activites. It would be hell to coordinate info from 'past' talks to actions that take place after them, but editing posts could solve that problem.

Another solution is that when we have to have a 'big conversation' like this one, we just PM all the info to each other ahead of time, then set a date where we can have that conversation in game in a relatively short, uninterrupted period. We could even say that the conversation took place to Iron, then do a *Flash Back* and insert the discussion in it, making the meta knowledge now in game knowledge the characters can justify having and using. Problem with this approach is that we have to set a general tone of interaction between character prior to these Flash Backs, since anything could happen , so we have to account for random shit happening. Of course, once the Flash Back is completed, further post could incorporate what happened in them, but that's a delayed reaction at best.

I don't know, I am just spit balling ideas at this point. What do you think, guys?
