Yeah, DoS attacks happen to DN from time to time, but they always get back on track in a matter of a couple days. We are not going to have any duels for a while now that the After School topic is over, so everything should work out just fine. On other news, I posted the final Recap Post because screw Azery. The second episode will start in the evening (21 GMT+1), meanwhile you are free to discuss here what has transpired so far, and try and guess what is going on in the plot. I hope you have enjoyed it so far!

Last Recap Post of this topic! DarkLight, Tails, Dobby, Omega Tacos, SilverJakler, Cyaloom, ExLink DMK and Red Jory and Azery Commander and Pixl Chimchain Kaito Hiss and Zechs Ok, this concludes the After School topic. Untill the next At School topic is posted (which will happen at 21 GMT+1) you are free to further interact with the others here, to discuss what has transpired, describe your reactions, or just kiss your girl in the warm light of the sunset. However, since there shall be no more Recap Posts in this topic, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ADDRESSING AND/OR INTERACTING WITH NPCS, AND/OR POSTING ANY OTHER SORT OF IMPORTANT ACTION.

Oh ok, I misinterpreted it because I don't remember a "b00ty thing" going on in the IC topics... O.o

We were talking about reading only one's spoiler(s) in each Recap Post. That is a good thing in theory. Not being interested in this topic is kinda a bad thing, you know...

That is what people are in theory supposed to do... But honestly I wasn't expecting anyone to actually do it, which is why I asked people for their speculations lol

Ok people, since I came back from my night out only now, and I see Azery hasn't posted yet, and considering that tomorrow is the last day for this episode, here is what we are going to do: tomorrow whenever I have a free moment (and as soon as Azery posts, damnit Azery you are always the last one <.< ) I will make the last Recap Post, and that will conclude the topic. By this I mean that there won't be any more Important Actions after that, I will make sure to wrap up all the ongoing events in a satisfying manner: you will still be free to make non-Important Action posts in which you describe your reactions to everything that has transpired this far, discuss with one another on what to do next, or simply return home. Then, at 21 GMT+1, I will start the second "At School" topic, which will mark the beginning of the second episode. In the meantime if you want, feel free to speculate, in this topic, on all the info and hints that have been dropped this far: maybe it is still too soon, but what do you think is going on? Where do you think the plot is headed? And most importantly, are you enjoying it so far? Soon-to-be judges are kindly asked not to spoiler anything (including their identities <.< ). This is all for now.

Well I really cannot remove Knock Off from Azu because it desperately needs the coverage. I will try removing it from Scizor for either Bug Bite or Roost... Also the calcs on Chandelure hardly matter because, in this team, you mostly work to build a single opening to set up, and you do so when you are reasonably sure that you can then pull off a sweep: so yeah, if I see Chandelure in the Team Preview, I'll use Azu for that, I am not so stupid to use Scizor against Chandelure regardless of Knock Off...

Oh ok, well don't worry, another post by you, while recommended, is not really required, so don't stress over it: if you cannot you cannot...

I have had a horribly busy week, but I finally found the time to update the OP. Changes include the new EV spread for Celebi, Custap as new held item for Wobbuffet, and Scizor taking Metagross' place. Thank you guys for your time! Is somebody else has anything to point out, feel free to!

Don't worry, the fact that you mostly did things on your own prevented you from holding other people back. I do hope that in the future you will interact more with others, to share what Charles revealed to you if nothing else Also, we are still missing Azery, and the way Zechs worded his post, that leaves an opening for at least one reply from Hiss. I will therefore leave these people time to post: to day will be a busy day, and in the evening I will go on a night out, but before I go (or when I come back) I will make the Recap Post, provided the mentioned people have posted.

What can I say? That's a personal weakness of mine...

I actually liked the "DAT ASS" topic more...

DAT ASS

Here's hoping that we will get a one on one finish. Of course, given that Rollins is playing the cowardly heel, there is no way he will win clean, but whatever he does to break the rules and steal the victory, I hope he will do it on his own, the whole "Authority members run in" thing has been done so many times in the past year, I have really grown tired of it... Incidentally, I watched the last two episodes of RAW and I must say I am impressed by the sheer amount of heat Rollins is getting. The guy really evolved in a pretty good heel, people love to hate him... Props to him!

They have to. I am simply saying that it is not your role to remind other players of this. Hell I myself would rather call people out on metagaming isues than on grammar: it's just that, when bringing up such matters in a public topic, your chances of sounding like a dick are very very high. In short: for the host it is ok to call people out on it when they break rules, not so ok to reprimend them for their grammar. For a normal user it is not ok to scold other normal users about anything, because of how easily that could result in a flame war (thanks God it didn't happen this time). Unless their bad behaviour directly affects you (and bad grammar doesn't), but even then it is better to report the matter to the host (or even better, a mod involved in the topic, we have two in this RP) with a private message, like another person did when they informed me of the messages Omega sent them, rather than complain publicly. With this being said, I would really appreciate it if we could drop this discussion now, as everything that needed to be said has been said, and everything that didn't need to be said... Well, you get the idea. And just so you know, saying "Ok I am sorry, I just wanted to say that..." followed by a reiteration of your points does NOT count as dropping it. Let's drop it for real this time.

Cyaloom I appreciate your eagerness to help, but scolding people is my job, not yours. I told off Omega for his mistakes, there was no need to further twist the proverbial knife... Of course I am aware of the fact that you were meaning well, but you really sounded like the guy who say "yeah, you tell him boss!" in stereotypical delinquent gangs... Keep in mind that people are willing to accept a scolding from their "superiors" (and in this situation I kinda act as one being the host), but not so much from their peers.

Omega, on what basis do you claim that Lisa is "about to snap in insanity"? Nothing that I wrote suggests anything like that and in fact, with her gloomy attitude, she gives quite the opposite sensation: a silent, gloomy, creepy kid dressed in black is the farthest thing from a raging lunatic that I can think of. And if you are merely assuming that she is a Rogue Number Holder, you are utterly wrong, as you would know if you had bothered to read the description of the various NPCs in the OP of this very topic. There would also be the fact that your post, with your belligerent attitude justified by nothing more than "just in case", sounds like a blatant attempt at metagaming, in order to place yourself in the position to snatch a Number from under the others' collective nose, by claiming for yourself the right to duel this new NPC (who, again, is in no conditions to duel, as you would know if you had actually read her description)... But why should I suspect you of such a thing? It's not like you have been sending messages to other users to demand that they let you do the dueling, have you? Oh wait, you have. So yeah, you might want to slightly edit your post. As in, completely rewrite it from scratch. I already told you this, but it seems to me that you didn't understand, so I shall repeat myself: roleplays, and particularly this one, are about interaction. How about you try to actually interact with others for a change? Because no, a goofy attempt at metagaming and a generic "I got your backs guys!" (not to mention the private messages to tell people to leave the dueling to you) do not count as "interacting". Everyone is making an effort but you, including people who are at their first roleplay just like you (thus invalidating your "this is my first rp" excuse: if they can, you can): why can't you try and follow the example of basically everybody else? All you are doing is wandering aimlessly around the city, with no logic behind your actions, with no development behind your psychology, and no goal beyond the obvious "I want to duel people and win Numbers" that your latest post made painfully obvious, and your private messages confirmed. So far I have tolerated your shortcomings because they weren't causing troubles to anyone, but if you start filling your posts with quite obvious attempts at metagaming, and send messages to people to demand that they let you do the dueling, then I cannot let it slide anymore. And it is sad to see that, to tell you all this, I wrote a post longer than all of your roleplay posts combined. I need you to make a honest effort at actually playing by the rules, otherwise I cannot help you: for your own good, please follow my advice.

Woah, you made the threat of the Ice Queen feel a lot more legit with your show of worry for your friend, I appreciate it a lot. In roleplaying, like in wrestling and acting in general, it is important to "sell" stuff convincingly to make things look al the more natural and believable. Good job
