Well, try to use what you know and, this is what I learned at least: Don't be afraid to ask for help. Try asking your teacher/lecturer to explain better what it needs to roughly be. Spine?

Hm...given some time I could do something that would fit the criteria. Except I don't quite have the time. Sorry. Okay, I know I stay up on my phone long after saying I am off to sleep, but now I really need to do that. Sleep, that is. Lugruf?

What exactly is the program supposed to do? Spine?

Still here, but gonna be going to sleep in...about 15 minutes. Got a rough day tomorrow. Spine?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up. I'll argue all I can until I can't argue anymore or they finally back down. But...let's switch to a less stressful topic now, if we can... Noobly?

It is bull. Here's tomorrow I can take care of everything, as otherwise...well, I don't even want to think about it... BMIC?

Nope. Today. Freaking. Sucked. Basically, today I found out I actually failed my Computer Architecture course from the third semester, even though, up until about 2 hours ago there was clearly a "5" where my grade was (We use a system of 1-10, 5 being "Enough to pass". Yeah, that was a thing that was rough for many of us). Today I was asked "Why are you not coming to talk about the debt you've got?" Let's just say there was a lot of arguing, even a bit of shady dealings where I left temporarily, then when I came back and re-checked my grade it was changed to a "4". Tomorrow I'm going to have to pay a visit to the examinator and ask what the hell is going on. Worst-case scenario it will turn out I do, in fact, have a debt and will need to pay over 180 euros to re-take the course (Because of course this is one of those things you can't take as an extern). And the worst part of it all is that, until today, I thought I didn't have a debt. Lugruf?

Well, most of my posts are in the Pokemon Fan-Club, Reborn City and Team Showcase sections. What I am hoping for is to get into an RP that I would like to be a part of, as, well, you probably figured this much out, but I am a fan of RP'ing. So yeah, I really want to get into the RP section of the forums. And I finally got around to updating a topic I posted some time ago but never got around to answering or updating how I felt. Spine?

Well, after just over 2 months I figured I should give an update on how I feel right now...I hope that's alright, it's at least a good update. But first, I guess I should (finally) respond to the comments here. I definitely don't go THAT far. Like, some things that leave the characters needing recovery (Of the physical kind, so, like, a trainer getting tail whipped into a tree by a Gyarados and fading out only to reawaken in a medical ward recovering or a Pokemon in the PMD-verse getting zapped by an extremely powerful bolt of lightning but managing to save it in time, somethings that ultimately have happy recoveries, something I personally enjoy, even if the events that the recoveries are needed to do from...don't.) I am a bit fine with, I admit, but truly gruesome things like torture or...yeah, those other things, I stay far, FAR away from those. This is something that I need to truly understand: Here, especially in a place where Pokemon basically reign supreme, an obsession like this? A story like that? I shouldn't feel tense, scared to share it, yet I am, and it's a mental barrier I constantly struggle to overcome. My obsession, while I like the gameplay, I LOVE the concept of traveling with a group of friends, experiencing epic events, fighting, experiencing pleasure, victory, as well as suffering in pain and defeat, together. That's why I take my direction, my OC trainer as a "Anything my Pokemon feel, I want to feel as well. We are in this together, if they suffer, I want to suffer with them", to the point where he directs his 'mon's actions directly from the arena, willing to take any attacks that happen to fly in his direction. (Of course, the character might also be a bit of a Gary Stu as, after a particularly traumatic event involving saving Arceus from a group of power and greed-obsessed poachers and losing his team in the process (Though in the end the Pokegod revives them), he grants the trainer the ability to mentally communicate with Pokemon that he truly has an unbreakable bond with (So, in gameplay terms, any Pokemon he has maxed friendship with, he can basically understand what the Pokemon are saying. Yeah, I know, that's pretty Gary Stu'ish, but at least it's only for the Pokemon that 100% are friends with, trust and believe in the trainer.)). Then again, I also believe that, after a certain point, the Pokemon don't NEED specific guidance and the trainer can just say "Play defensively" or "Don't hold back" and the Mons, who are on the field and thus have a better idea of what's going on directly, will know what they need to do, although they are accepting of specific directions should an unorthodox plan present itself. I know I should not worry about it, but, especially when I'm in a real-world environment that actually kind of shuns things like this, it's hard to not think "Maybe what I am doing is silly, stupid...". But yeah, I try to put myself into a world that I can enjoy, rather then trying to twist things I don't. And don't worry, I'm not THAT obsessed that I'm blinded to my body's general needs. And now, just a general update: ...not much has changed. I'm still in a Poké-high, though maybe slightly less so, as I've stopped constantly obsessing and only dreaming about Pokemon, but I still have very fond thoughts and adventures in both the main-game regions and the PMD-verse. Now that I've played through Reborn (twice, planning on a third run, an Ice-mono (My favorite type by far)) I can say that my love only grew (Even if a few of the battles...didn't, hello ZEL, Corey). In fact, Reborn just made me appreciate the Pokemon themselves a lot more, especially my favorites (Glaceon, Vaporeon, Umbreon, Swampert, Emolga, even brought back fond memories of Breloom from my first ever Pokemon playthrough). It's just that...in a region like Reborn, you come to rely on your Pokemon that much more them anywhere else, you come to truly care for them and it hurts all the more when you see them suffering or otherwise in a bad position. That is what I feel. As far as my dreams are concerned, as I said, I've had a bit of a hiatus, though I'm probably going to try and continue my adventures as much as I feasibly can. I've put my Reborn adventure on hold simply because, well, I've made it as far as I can for now, which allowed me to focus on the OC trainer's (Antares') start of adventure as well as 3-man Team Unity's adventures through the PMD-verse. Well, mostly the latter, the former is in a good cut-off point for now. Granted, it's come at a slight cost: I have created, in my mind, such an idealized world that now I kind of dread playing other Pokemon games simply because they don't quite fit that ideal model in my mind, which might sound silly, and in hindsight it is, but again, I have a problem of projecting mental barriers like that. Well, and that is all I can say right now. If anyone has anything to add, I promise this time I won't wait this long to try and respond.

Did he? I admit the elephant does look nice, though. BMIC?

Yep, still here, still no idea what to do... BMIC?

I dunno, I hope such a time doesn't come, as, well, it's nice to have a place you're always welcome in. Spine?

Well, I'm probably not going to be disappearing anytime soon (At least I hope not). Spine?

Ever since summer ended it has gotten awfully quiet around here. Noticed that not even weekends are very active. Spine?

Something happens if you give Titania Blue Moon Ice Cream? Speaking of...BMIC?

I've never played AQ worlds. I've once played a lot of AQ, though. 'twas a much simpler time back then... Lugruf?

Sometimes they are compatible. Sometimes. I've once been hooked to MMO's, but now I'm kind of burned out. Occasionally I'll jump in, get another month of game time or something like that, but I've long since passed the "Spend 12+ hours on MMO's per day" phase that I'm sure at least a few of us have experienced. BMIC?

Samurott and Emolga for me, personally.

Different time zones I guess. Lugruf?

Wow, didn't expect someone to try for all shinies. Even with the increased rate of them, this looks like quite a patience-trying affair. Keep up the good work! Out of curiosity, how are you going to handle Pokemon with branching evolution paths? Just lots of breeding until you get lucky? And, if it's not reserved yet, I would like Glaceon to be nicknamed after me.

I'm en route to university right now. BMIC?

What even is the inside? BMIC?
