Well, I imagine that Mack is only aware of gen 3 Pokemon, with some exceptions. For example, he knows a Dewott, as an reference to being NinjaDewott. I think this would be the only exceptionI'd also like to point out that what Mack said to Aquilles will either get him a scolding or a one-way ticket to the ocean on the other side of the island.
Not really, but like, come on. He's obviously not a crab. Even Daniel called him a "blue shrimp".
Well, every good romance themed thing needs tons of drama . And besides, this could start a rivalry between the two, which could be a nice plot point laterYou really seem to be pushing his patience, mate. Aquilles hasn't really been having a nice day so far, and come to think of it, neither has anyone else around him.
It would be nice to clear this Ursaring mess up and get back to the ROMANCE part of the ROMANCE roleplay.
Y'know. What the entire thing is supposed to be about in the first place.
i don't know about @Zixal, but to me Aquilles doesn't seem the type to have rivalries and such. perhaps you should be a little more mindful of how the roleplayer thinks of the ordeal, before stretching out/creating big plot points.Well, every good romance themed thing needs tons of drama .

Well I guess you’re right, I kinda have been pushing all my ideas, and have everything go along with that... I guess I kinda just get too into character, and kinda do what Mack would do... I mean isn’t that the best way to play a character? Well, either way, I really should take other peoples thoughts into mind, without having the whole world go along with what I say.. sorryi don't know about @Zixal, but to me Aquilles doesn't seem the type to have rivalries and such. perhaps you should be a little more mindful of how the roleplayer thinks of the ordeal, before stretching out/creating big plot points.
there's no problem with getting into character- the old phrase, 'ic opinions' applies here- but yeah, try not to push your ideas too much. thank you for understanding, and being cooperative- it's more than most would do ♥Well I guess you’re right, I kinda have been pushing all my ideas, and have everything go along with that...

Guys, guys! I think we should do some sort of event in the village because we barely rp there!!
Advantages:
- most of the characters would be focalized in one place, making it easier for group of friends to form or for ocs to make relations!
- a bit of calm rp in a village setting! That’d definitely relax a few ocs (Aquilles looks like he’d need it haha)
- something calm and consistent to rp for everyone to join! The latest fight was nice but only the high ranked ocs could partake in it, leaving everyone behind. The event could be a party to prepare, for example!
- drama can slip in but the thing is if it does other ocs wouldn’t be forced to be part of it because they’d still have the choice to rp other calm stuff.
- ROMANCE OPPORTUNITY! I think we need that right now!
- other advantages I forgot!
Disadvantages:
- None that I can think of! Let’s do this!
I use exclamation points way too much haha sorry
Disadvantages:
- Having characters together allows for an easier opportunity for the entire party to fall if suddenly attacked.
- Chaos and discord can unfold if a troubled RPer screws things up by bunnying other characters.
- RPs are almost never calm in a realistic setting since incidents are bound to happen.
- Romance is not always going to be hugging and happily smooching around, because it can end up to where the man brutally beats the woman over a certain matter or two, or vice versa.
- Timid characters would be overwhelmed from the drama and would likely stay away from the village instead of interacting with others.
Ok ok! Let me explain my point because I really disagree!
- that's great, that means a battle/action where everyone can participated!
- that can happen anytime, even without a party-- that's why there're mods!
- I disagree! Rps can be calm and it's a bit overwhelming to have only action and no time where ocs just communicated between each other
- to that one I'd say... Your point? ;w; Because I don't really get it to be honest
I didn't say anything about relationships having to be happy all the time!
- then they could try and have their own fun! A party doesn't mean everyone has to be doing the same thing, a few pals can go around doing other stuff if they want to! Remember, this an opportunity, not an obligation!
I understood everything except this one ;w; could you explain it for me in a simpler manner please?Not having a rebuttal for this part is likely going to skew the mood in my favor, which would likely cause a retreat for you and damage influence quite a lot.
Hah,,, well as a matter of fact I actually like parties but I'm not a "happy extrovert going around and having ten drinks before passing out"I am not so sure if they are exactly worries, since not every character in this RP is a happy extrovert going around and having ten drinks before passing out.
Life is an equilibrium, thought, so to me there should be at least a few calm moments! Because I strongly believe they exist! :0cI refute the calm statement, since like I stated before, incidents are bound to happen. It is not always going to be the same tranquil wind and bright flowers daily.
I can see where you're coming from, and I agree; whoever that isn't a bad thing to me. What would rp be without a bit of spice? It's what's makes it fun! The fact of discord intervening is pretty exciting; a grand battle everyone can participate in? Sounds good to me! Of course, there would be consequences; but personally as long as it's in rp it's all fine and dandy. The real danger is discord outside of rp,, At least, that's my opinion!Did you mean a battle where everyone can easily fall? I am sorry, but having the advantage of numbers is not always going to win combat.
Well I'd think this idea's not that much of a danger (definitely won't end up killing the thread) but I have to agree this could give a lot of hard work to the staff. So we could help too; ignoring the person bunnying the ocs would largely suffice! Or you could just block them. Ta--da! Problem solved!Even though there is going to be the staff, you do realize that they do have quite a bit on their hands right? (I.e. They might not always be able to resolve the situation right away, which can buy the troubled RPer to cause enough destruction to where the entire thread would have to be nuked by a certain someone.)
B-but it's not forced,,, It was never even meant to be forced aaaaaThe decision to have a forced party is really up to the RP creator.
I'd say it's more like a recess ;w; A small pose to breathe!Our definitions of calm are different; I.e. Someone might state that it is like a recess while others say that everything has to be perfect.
Sure! They're not forced to! It's just a really good opportunity for those who do want to fight (I don't know if there're many, but I'm part of them)!And also, don’t forget that not everyone is going to be strong. (Another thing is that some people might bail out on a battle because of the odds.)
Ignoring is really good too! Even if they clog, we could just ignore their messageBlocking them is what most of us do, but I’m pretty sure that said person would have already clogged the thread meanwhile and it would likely just make a certain someone pull the plug on us.
thank you for this, @Zixal. i hadn’t realised the disadvantages that came with such an event before saying i’d do something about it. i could possibly try to come up with a compromise- chervil does enjoy making food (and eating it) so she could set up a little buffet table for whoever pleases to have a little taste of, completely optional- but, as has been said, roleplaying is very unpredictable. not everyone’s character enjoys that kind of thing, and that’s totally okay.I'm getting sick of this argument. @Pikminbleu , you need to stop being petty and stop arguing with every point made against you. I know you think you're right, and you want to prove your own point, but you're disregarding anything that immediately disproves you. It's getting old. This is not a debate, this is an argument, and I'm getting sick of it. And @Kiraru , while I agree with many of your statements about roleplay, I don't appreciate how things keep spiraling back and forth. It would be much easier if someone would stop the battle, and since it hasn't been done yet, I'll do it for you.
When I said roleplays can go in any direction, I mean it. Your idea may be to take a breather and do something calm, but like I said, it's not likely to stay that way. If you start an event of that scale, mandatory or not, there is a very big chance that any roleplayer, doesn't matter who, could very quickly end up creating a situation (even accidentally) that ruins the whole party for everyone. And it's not as simple as just "not doing it". When everyone has the option to do something of this scale, literally anything could happen. Just because you have an idea for a situation does not mean you have control over it.
And we can't just go around abusing the block function. Blocking someone isn't just a "ta-da fixed" option, you know. The only time it is necessary is if someone is blatantly disregarding the rules, not if someone steers the roleplay in an undesired direction. Roleplay does that. A lot. If you can't get used to it, don't roleplay.
I was really hoping I wouldn't have to parent, and I don't want to end up being warned or something worse for almost being a mini-modder. I want the best from this roleplay because of its potential, and I want to respect TokyoMustard's wishes and keep this as professional as possible. I would appreciate it if everyone here were to not take a side and just agree that we want to roleplay without risking something that can not only break character's personality but also the mood of roleplay in general.
