    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. RP thread.

    One thing to take note of when addressing a group in the outdoors is that you should be the one looking into the sun, not them. That way everyone else can see you, and only one person gets annoyed. The method has two downsides: 1 The person getting annoyed is you, and 2, you might miss some...

    I'm still alive. I realize it's my sort of turn again. I should find some time somewhere this weekend to read the last round of replies with the attention they deserve and write a good post of my own.

    I think you're a trooper, keeping the RP going like this. I hope others will soon find a good way to weigh in and find stuff to do again as well. @AceyPie: I'm assuming the license to auto still stands should we need your partners nose or something in the foreseeable future. Given that I kind...

    So, I notice more people are having trouble coming up with stuff. I'm kind of going against Nukas' plan here, a bit of a sin in collaborative storytelling. I hope this is still constructive enough to work anyway.

    As the group came together on the clearing Jake scratched his head for a moment and spoke, "As ambitious as always I see. It may be the poison talking, but I think we'd be spreading ourselves too thin that way. Between the fresh recruits, the civilian, no offense meant, and the partners...

    Jake did suggest splitting up himself, I'm not against the idea. There's just pros and cons to everything and I wanted to get some opinions on it. Feel free to keep going in the RP thread in the meanwhile.

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    My main concern would be that 3 people can turn into 2 people pretty easily, and that can get less fun to play. But have been known to be wrong and I'm happy to go with what others think could work. (A minor in character concern would be that we just dort of decided not to break the box open to...

    It might be good to discuss this OOC as well. Do we want to try splitting up for different assignments, and if so into max how many groups?

    "Good point, we might as well get someone with the right education to have a look at it", Jake said. "Although I do have to point out the obvious I'm affraid. Lefty is strong, but there's no way we're tying all of these Kakuna and this fancy box here to the guy and have him run past the nearest...

    Jake looked over the weird box-device-thing. It was the size of a small closet and *try, try* could probably be lifted by two strong blokes. There was definitely more to that weight than just the wood of the box. (Jake's mother did teach him you look with your eyes, not your hands, but he had...

    Although as an addition: That would kind of mean the device is not really powered, in the modern sense. There could be springs storing mechanical energy and such and of course some sort of mysterious semi-magical component like an evolutionary stone, but probably no autonomous backpack steam...

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    Fair point. A sentence like "it did seem to have some kind of scanner on it" does sound kind of modern. Maybe if we describe it more like a clockwork kind of device, with the slightest hint of steampunk flavor? A big clunky dial pointing at a handwritten "Empty" and lots of cogs coming out if...

    @Kid_Nukas: This device was sitting on the ground next to the tree? So wait, is this device the same thing I saw glowing or is it not? Because I walked around the tree quite a bit, and I had to climb a tree to even be able to see the thing... (I try not to be overly critical of people's ideas...

    Lefty stared at the man talking to him. He was one of those people you keep running into. Sometimes he carried treats too. Mmmh, treats. But this didn't seem like a treat moment, so Lefty just kind of stared at him. Then he heard the word "break". Did something need breaking? O boy. Lefty sprung...

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    I have several vague ideas for what it could be, and even some branches of plans that could lead to longer term story arcs, but I'd prefer to run with someone else's idea and maybe see if I can tie something into that. For instance: none of my plans involved a device, so now I can start...

    "Lucas, hey, yeah I, Lucas, okay I will stay seated for a minute. Just hear me out will you?" Jake managed to get some words in between the continuous insistence that he wouldn't stand up and climb back into the tree. (Which was pretty effective by the way, without it Jake might actually have...

    @PeachyPie, @malcolm debourg: We seem to be having a bit of a post storm. If you can find the time it might be fun if you manage to squeeze in a new post before or during the holidays.

    In the original game, sure. For an RP I figure I'll travel with what I have and I'll have what I travel with. ;)

    It was something like "usually up to two" in the initial concept, but we don't need to worry about limits too much, especially since everyone started with just one or none and nobody seems to be powergaming. Six would definitely feel like too much, at least to me.

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    Hey, I got a PM from one of you asking about if they can encounter a Pokémon around here that would make a fun addition to the story at this point but does't occur in the specific area we're in now in the Shadows of Almia game. It's still a species that occurs in the region and in the mainland...
