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

[Lord Windos]

If you'd like to be back a little, that's fine.

I just don't want the thread getting paralyzed.

Thank you, Iron, and yes, I do.

Fair enough! It was a concern of mine too, when things slowed down massively yesterday.

....I'm not too happy that you used Telekinesis like that, Phantom, since the chance of a Pokemon noticing was high and getting caught  also auto invalidates my plan (or makes it MUCH harder), but what has happened, happened. Still, I bring it up to make a point of it, which is simple: at least give our charas a chance to deny or do our own stuff before an Action is Rolled out. Otherwise, we're going to be caught up in whatever occurs, which is most likely NOT what we wanted.

I'm sorry, my dear, please don't be sour for long! >o< But to my defense, I wanted to progress the current scenario and find out more about how to handle the situation, and inquirering about why our Geodude-ally went to dig up a particular fossil felt like a good way to do so. I also mentioned that Shiva would only do so if she can without automatically arising Cofagrigus' attention. Still, my apologies if I pissed you off. (m;_ _)m

On the other hand though, things went fairy well from that point, so yay?

Apologies accepted. Not to bothered anymore since Iron let Terra skip out, and beyond that I can't really stay mad at you for long, dearest! I also understand the desire to get the plot/scene moving along and the interest of what our friendly neighborhood Geodude was doing, and nothing bad has happened yet despite being discovered by the Golden Grinner, so all's well that ends well, I suppose!

[Lord Windos]

I'll have Terra make his way back once a majority consent to this plan comes from Nathan/Heart/Spira (With Terra's agreeing with Shiva, so long as one other person does too). He's careful like that!

[Lord Windos]

Note for Shiva/Phantom: Since your chara has 6/7 Insight, you could conceivably field three Pokemon instead of two now, since it'll be highly unlikely you'll flub the Insight Roll required for such a feat and there are not League Officials out in the Skull Ruins (That we know of) to catch you doing it. Ven did the same thing back underground during the Anthenium Quest, so why not Shiva too?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Because I'm worried about what happens if that Insight Roll fails against all odds. ^_^; On the other hand, you're right, it'd be cool to try commanding three Pokemon and it'd be a nice bonus against the potential upcoming foe especially, and all of Shiva's current Pokemon on hand are loyal enough to not outright despise her shall something go wrong. I'll consider it.

[Lord Windos]

You know, I just realized just now what the big bonus to making INS your main stat is, beyond RP stuff and Sleep/Confusion/Wierd Status: fielding more than two or even three Pokemon at a time with minimal risk. Not something you can do too often (or at all in League Matches), but having the Ability to have half your party or 2/3 of your party out to deal with threats is a extremely potent strategy, even if you don't have high STR/VIT/DEX, as the additional numbers and their Actions can still make a pretty big impact. Sure, there's the risk of things going wrong (as seen with Larry, so long ago), but the benefits are immense if you can pull it off.

This really makes INS even more important Attribute in retrospect, so yeah, its awesome for other stuff too beyond RP and Out of Battle shenanigans!

Fielding three Pokemon at once is kind of a legendary move. Something a Marco Warren or Dagny might do.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

It's undeniably my favorite Stat, even if mostly because what is possible with it outside of battling. And I'm finding it interesting that apart from Ventus I'm the only who's been serious about+working on it from an early point on maxing it out. ^^

:O Now I want Shiva to carefully try that at some point too, but preferably in a safe scenario where experiementing won't fire back at you at twice the force.

Oof.  Just got home from work.  Give me some time to catch up.
