Great. I didn't mean to make everyone just wail on subkoopa. But I guess there is legitimate reason for this, so I'll just state this here- subkoopa, please clean up your posts. If I have to, I'll find something out there that can help. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just saying I can't understand anything you are saying in your posts whatsoever. Please be more descriptive, please stop using run-on sentences, and if you don't know what the proper phrasing is, ASK US PLEASE. Several of us are experienced RPers, and can offer advice when you need it. So please, ASK US FOR ADVICE.

*looks at subkoopa's post on the Supernatural Insane Asylum RP* Now why can't he do that level of description for this one?

*facepalms* Subkoopa, PLEASE be more descriptive in your posts. I can barely understand the messages you're trying to convey. Heck, I don't even understand what happened when you got your Sneasel! EDIT: Also, it seems everyone forgot that Jake's still at that campsite as well.

Just the fact she's not called Color on her info post, and because I am forgetful, especially with names.

@Color: is your character based off the one in the character thread? Or is it another one? I'm confused here.

Hmm... Rather than a word count, I think it should be based off of the number of events being described. So in that situation, Pokelord's posts wouldn't move the timer, and neither would my most recent post. It would also prevent people making unnecessarily descriptive posts (aka purple prose) to up the word count in order to get around the rule.

So should we make a rule that posts under a certain word count do not count towards the countdown? If so, we'd be resetting the clock to, oh, 5-7 posts until day 2.

Jake was slowly trying to get some sleep, and, with some difficulty caused by some kids outside striking up conversations in the dead of night (seriously, who does that outside of the internet?), was finally starting to doze off. That is, until he heard the dreaded words- "..." "..." "..." "SUNNUVA-!" Reacting quickly, Jake hurriedly got his clothes on without worrying about how he looked, leaving his hair messy, thus making it obvious he was beginning to bald, rolled up his sleeping bag, and collapsed his quick-pop tent as fast as a human who felt that their life could quite possibly b

^Agreed.

I see... Very good points, I'd say. also, I DID say that we only know for sure that the 1:1 ratio only applies to the primary session IE the seeded sessions. In the story itself, it's been implied there were other sessions, like fedorafreak's session, or even that that one football player may be part of a session where his own dreamself died. There is a LOT of flexibility. Although, the crossing sessions thing needs certain requirements to be met, though it shouldn't be too hard to pull off, with the proper information. There's a lot of room to explore an expanded universe. The problem with a

Okay. Give me a few hours, I've got a few things I need to do first, and then I need to rethink the scenario. Edit: The RP that used to be in and technically am still a part of had its own section for battles so as to not clog up the rest of the RP with blow by blows that could take a while to finish (some of them were ~150 posts long and took 3 months from start to finish because of the wide variety of time zones). Since this IS a pokemon RP, where battling is a major part of it, perhaps we could have a designated section for battles? Edit 2: Retcon complete.

An even gender ratio in Homestuck is there for a very specific reason for the primary sessions. Which was why I suggested dreambubble shenanigans- it lifts almost every restriction one would normally have, including but not limited to: species, genders, claspects, quadrant-based romance systems, etc. And the lack of clearly defined space-time can be used to explain in a convenient manner why someone just randomly dropped off the face of the earth for months at a time, only to reappear without warning.

Retcon the Shinx or the Power Bracer? I was gonna do the latter, anyways, but I needed to know about the former. EDIT: About the Mega Evo question... I do not believe it will be relevant for a while, as the requirements dictate in canon that a pokemon must be 1) fully evolved, 2) have an extremely high degree of friendship with their trainer, and 3) be holding a mega stone while their trainer has some sort of bracelet. So maybe ask again in a few months when we've gotten to the point where it's possible.

Oh snap, didn't see the no item rule. I'll have to go retcon the Power Bracelet then. I'm gonna wait for a reply from Amaterasu about the Shinx first, though. EDIT: Instead of posting it all here, should we make a thread to post our current teams, to keep it all nice and organized?

Amaterasu! I had a question since I messed up and used the official available pokemon list for Route 29 from Bulbapedia. Is it okay if I caught a Shinx, or do I need to retcon it, and change to another pokemon?

Yeah, definitely Duskull. His more powerful moves have to be gotten through Move Tutors and Relearners after becoming fully evolved. Also, if Amaterasu OKs my Shinx capture, I'll go ahead and start character interactions.

I've noted that your character is supposed to be developing psychic powers. Developing psychic powers tends to cause some sort of stress, and in some cases, confusion. Being unable to tell at times what is "real" and what is a result of his psychic powers beginning to develop could be a reasonable flaw on that front. However, you're going to have to be careful, and try to make it a little ambiguous for optimal effect. As for character flaws, when it comes to particularly intelligent characters, arrogance is pretty common as a character flaw, and gamers can have an addiction to their games at

Hmm... We have a basic character creation guide, so now we need a basic storytelling guide. We already have a few things down here, so now we need to organize it and put it all together, while adding a few more relevant tips. Perhaps someone could find the time... I can help contribute, but I'll need someone a bit more fluent at explaining things to translate what I say into something most people can understand without the more advanced (or, in some of my cases, erroneous) terminology.

Actually, I think it's because she hasn't been on in a few days. I'm gonna wait another day and see what happens.

@rustytengo: Ah, crap, I must've not seen that part of the post. I actually looked up on Bulbapedia what pokemon were catchable on Route 29, and Shinx was catchable in HG/SS if you used the Sinnoh Tune (you can get Plusle and Minun if you use the Hoenn tune), and so I based it off of that. Am I going to have to redo that part of the post? I can change the events and make it another pokemon if need be, since I haven't interacted with someone else yet. I will probably change it to a Manectric if I have to retcon it.
