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

[Dragonstrike]

Hoo wee, Braixen was being a total powerhouse. Not a single die wasn't a success on those accuracy checks for Ember...dang. Burn 1 chance? Who needs it, right?

Though I should note that Oran Berries aren't potions. They only heal 1 HP according to my notes. Sitrus berries are closer, but they still only heal 3 HP (or 1 Lethal damage). That was possibly the biggest potential error I saw wasn't caught, the other being Comite should have had 1 HP at the start of Round 4, not 3 (though neither of these errors mattered much in the long run since the end results of both of those rounds would have been the same anyways).

Oh, and one more error that wasn't caught: Icy Wind doesn't freeze, though a chance die for it was rolled in the last round instead of lowering Dex. Must have been confused for Powder Snow, but again, it wouldn't have affected the end results at all (and the sunlight completely prevents being frozen anyways, so...).

But enough of my nitpicking. We've got a victory to celebrate! Whoo!

Shame Ventus being around is probably going to kill Nathan's mood just a little bit...

True, keep that nitpicking that doesn't change a thing about the result for yourself, please.

I guess my favorite part of the battle is fox totally roasting Swinub without even Blaze triggered.

Well, that's cold...just analyzing what happened so it can be properly accounted for later when it might actually matter...big part of these types of games, after all...

Darling, remember what we talked about how not being mean/critical about other people's actions? Just because I do it with Iron on a semi-regular basis over his game/choices does not mean I want you to pick up that bad habit of mine! Besides, if he (Dragonstrike) was not so analytical, it could have costed you several turn and many more Pokémon against Zamboni, such as with Seolo's Leech Seed count. So please don't be frigid with him about this, dear...

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh, that must have sounded way more harsh than it actually was intended, I'm sorry for this... No harm meant, really not, I just don't enjoy overanalyzing that much. Especially when it doesn't change a thing in the long run, contrary to for example that Leech Count on Sealeo. Guess we both should take care a little in the future not to get in unnecessary spats or overstepping each other's boundaries. ._.

Oh, right, no that Ven mentions it... Almost forgot that Shiva managed to do what even he didn't managed: Defeating the Gym Leader on the first go. Well, I had the advantage that I had way more time to level-up and gather good Pokemon instead of challenging Gym Leader when we were in town for the first time... Still feels nice.

[Dragonstrike]

Big reason I'm rather nitpicky on everything here is because mistakes like that could matter.  If not now, then later.  It's not entirely fair to both the GM and the player if mistakes like those pop up frequently and have many chances to majorly affect how a battle goes.

That's just my opinion on the matter, though, I guess. :/

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

You're not wrong on this, but at the same time I feel like trying and wanting to have everything perfect does rather quickly spoil the fun. I'm trying to make more out of my battles than just calculations on a regular basis, they're scenarios. I'm not checking the calculations of other player's battles nor do I desire to do so simply because that goes a little too far for my personal taste - IF there'd be a big obvious mistake I might raise awareness however, but I feel like GM is experienced enough that this won't occur - and I don't have the time to do so. Errors happen on occasion, they never happen on purpose though, but from now on I guess I'll simply look over my own battles even more close to prevent similar situations from happening. Fine?

EDIT: Thank you!~ Glad we managed to solve this peacefully.

[Dragonstrike]

Alright.

[Iron]

I appreciate the checks, because there's a lot going on. If Shiva doesn't want to see it, those checks can come to my inbox.

[Dragonstrike]

I'll keep that in mind. :/
