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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Well, don't continue on yet.

No planning to, until this situation has been resolved mate. Its why I had Ventus speech ended at that point, rather than take everyone else down the other way. His patience is almost completely spent for your chara right now, but he doesn't want to be a defiant dick to him. He just wants what he thinks is best for the group, and Nathan is not exactly thinking on that same wavelength...

I fear there barely is anything to discuss just now, too deep and reckless lies what Nathan did to them when Shiva least expected it. In whatever way things resolve, her view on Nathan got shattered to a point where it will take a while to repair. Oh, and there's also him owning the Delta Houndour, the creepy dream demon... Oh my.

To her, he acted like he knew everything better, on top of that the League in Unova when he doesn't originate from there and can not know how it really is. That lies hard. I don't like this, yet it's an interesting and unexpected twist.

Alright, I edited this post of mine quite much to match. However, this barely changes anything about me quite disliking and disagreeing with Nathan's behaviour. His reasons and fact-checking are actually nothing bad and reasonable, but I feel you totally overdone it and put us all, most of all me and Ven, on edge and possibly all of us in danger. I gladly repeat it for the nth time, we're down in this Water-Scimitars-Base together, and should work and stick together as a group of equal value of each member. There is no place for solo runs or Leader-feelings in this situation, regardless how well and detailed you planned your actions and decisions for the mission in and out of character. You messed up with Shiva's trust in you, it will take a while to repair is despite she still caring for Nathan a lot and clearly giving him the second change. I'm sorry to say this, but that's the way it is, it's not that I expected this happening. :C

Another thing is that I still feel that Nathan, being the Creshire-native, cannot really know what the League and Rangers in Unova is/are really like and how it would react to the possible revelation of a Genesect held captivate by Scimitars. Reading and researching about it and linking it with what the Kanto-League did with Mewtwo is just not the same like living and growing up in the region and dealing with the League there first-handed. Ventus even a little more than Shiva, since he has struggled with them before. Every region has its own League and can and does make its own laws to match the general feelings and circumstances of the region, while some basic rules apply the world of Pokemon as a whole. It's like every country in the world has it's own set of laws, while things like how a democracy works apply worldwide. What is your call on this, @Iron? (Actually, I never thought of aspects like these, but now I do. *shrugs*)

Hey @Iron, I just updated my latest post in the game thread to include Yes or No questions for Ghastly to answer. Just wanted to let you know!

Okay, I feel we should nevertheless head down the path with the skulls. Concerning the Guards, we could and should be capable to take them out of action, maybe with Ghastly's Hypnosis and Apsis' Glare from the darkness, so that they don't notice and cannot alert others?

The only problem I have with using Apsis is that the last time we used Pokémon moves on humans, Iron summoned the rangers on us for reasons I still find arcane and baffling. Ventus would be game to do that, but if Ranger are waiting for us above to lock us away because we went Move crazy down her and a survivor got away to report on and skew all the facts against us....well, game over.

Yes, that seems paranoid, but after the first time this happened, I frankly have taken the attitude that the Scimitars are so bloody damn connect that unless you find everyone of them within a given area and kill/capture them, they will find SOME way to F*** you over. Hypnosis is the least risky move to use, as Sleep is hardly different from natural sleep, and it fades away eventually.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Alright, you're totally right on this, although I don't find it arcane baffling what Iron did. Ghastly has Hypnosis and Raphael has Yawn, right?

[Dragonstrike]

They won't be summoning the rangers this time. There's no good reason to, unlike before. If we cause them obvious problems, they'll deal with us themselves.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I hope we won't cause them obvious problems, we are working on preventing this.

[Iron]

If the plan goes well, the problems won't be obvious until it's too late!

Does Nathan have any prep to make?

I'm working on a response post now.  Might take a moment.
