Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
I'm still pretty busy but I guess I would be okay with it starting up again soon.

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
I guess I agree with starting it again, I'm a bit less busy now (though at the end of this month I'll be out for 4 days on a trip with people from my school so?)
I can try to make an update today, I suppose? I've got a bunch of free time at least
EDIT: i posted
whoop...dee...doo?
Also VD can you change Glitch's brother from a Chespin to a Quilladin in his bio thingity in the infodump, since now we know about them

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
Nice update Spark! I'd suggest calling it ERROR MODUS instead of BUG MODUS though, especially since this is a Pokemon RP. Peeps could get confused. Also you might wanna throw half a sentence explaining how it works, since I don't remember myself.

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
I changed it.
I also made a new thread JUST for my summary dump, since I thought the forum was telling me it was too long. (In actuality I'd accidentally pasted the text in twice, but oh well, the thread's made now, so now there won't be any problems with it actually getting too long in the future.)

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
Feeling inspired by the Sharpedo comdisc thread, I was doing a lot of classpect thinking and here's the result of my Seer of Heart meditation. VD, you can move this over to that shiny new thread of yours if you get an opportunity.
whoa it's my glubbing pseudo-380th post
can we call this a specularnaodm 380
- Dregadude's Seer of Heart meditation:
- The easiest way to think about with a Seer of Heart is that they are kind of the therapist of the group; by understanding the reasons behind emotion and drive, they can pass on their lessons to their friends. This would be fairly useless in a session that has either very little inter-player discord or a lot of reluctance to talk to such a therapist. In essence, a good Seer of Heart would act much like Rose does with her peers, but centering more around matters of feeling than of truth; they would be the trusted friend that everyone feels safe to confide in, because they know that their Seer will be able to help them grow as well. A bad Seer would be powerless in all regards, much like Ma-Ti. Because of this the Seer needs a lot of experience dealing with other people's emotions, and although the journey to becoming a good guide for others would include a lot of bad judgements and misguided advice, eventually they would be able to bring harmony to the group. (Note: I'm not actually sure how much of this overlaps with the Blood aspect, it's possible that I'm misinterpreting the true meaning of Heart.)
Additionally, as we've seen explained to Dirk, Heart powers include direct control of not only others' emotions, but their souls. Although this is more overtly powerful in active classes like that of a Prince, like how Dirk ripped Aranea's soul from her body just a few days ago, in a passive class like that of a Seer, a fully-realized hero would still be able to understand another person's emotions, motivations, and maybe even future plans at a glance. Terezi, as a Seer of Mind, uses knowledge of others' psyches to be able to predict their actions, and a Seer of Heart would probably be gifted with similar precognition, but based off of other players' aspirations instead.
But what does this mean for little old Scoville? As we've seen, he's horrible at reading people, mainly because of his limited experience with them. He was unable to predict that Tyrogue would ftfo over being fired, he treats others as potential customers first and people second, and before he found the courage to confide in Glitch, he had nobody he would consider a friend. To him, other Pokemon exist to give him tasks and reward him accordingly, and his worth is derived solely from his success at his job. This, clearly, is based off of his traumatic upbringing, after which his ability to understand and connect with Pokemon was crippled. How is he ever going to make a good Seer of Heart?
Well, all these handicaps mean that his rise (or fall) will be either incredibly tragic or incredibly heroic. When I first wrote his backstory, I didn't intend for hm to be a woobie, nor did I even know that was a trope. I intended for him to have a legitimate reason for starting out the way he did, and to give him challenges to overcome, because in the end, nobody cares about the kid who was perfectly normal until one day he got magical powers over wind or whatever. They care about the person who, given all these stumbling blocks, was able to make it as far as he did. If he succeeds, he does so as a testament to everyone who has had some problem they needed to work through. If he fails, he will still be an interesting character to watch. What I like about the story of the Alternian trolls is that a good half of them, even though they made it out of their game, were still not equal to the challenge presented to them by SBURB, and eventually died. Whether Scoville ends up as a Tavros or a Terezi, I don't know. But I'm certainly excited to find out.

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
THE STORY SO FAR
Actually, that last conversation between Kachi and Pen hasn't been posted to the IC thread, so I couldn't put it in chronological order with everything else. Neither CC nor NN have posted in the IC thread at all.
- Spoiler:
- Banyu found twelve discs in a mysterious temple. Intrigued, she gave her findings to her friend Glitch, who then relayed them to Tobias.
- Banyu also told Cyano, who agreed to tell someone else.
- Tobias told Isaac, who was extremely enthusiastic and in turn told Asha, who confirmed to Banyu that she wished to play the game.
- Glitch contacted Scoville's smithy inquiring about the game. He was unfortunately much too busy though, as Glitch soon told Tobias.
- Tobias also tried talking to Scoville to try to get a job and also to maybe try to change Scoville's mind if possible. After hearing his impressive list of talents, Scoville agreed to hire him the next week. He also considered joining in the game at a later date, if it would be convenient. Tobias then informed Glitch of his progress.
- Scoville
eagerlywent to break his forgehand the bad news. Unfortunately, the forgehand was livid and prepared to kill. Panicking, Scoville pushed him into the forge where he met his death. Unsure what else to do, Scoville told Glitch about the incident, and finally agreed to play the game, bringing the player count up to 6 and solidifying the friendship between Scoville and Glitch. - Elegial, taking shelter from an alpine snowstorm by hiding in a cave, decided to pester Glitch, who told her about the game. Elegial decided to play the game, and offered to invite other friends to do so as well.
- Unexpectedly, Glitch and Isaac each got messages from a mysterious Pidgey, asking if they knew of any good places to hide. They were unsure how to react, but each more or less said they couldn't help.
- Banyu contacted Glitch and compared notes. They counted six players, not knowing that Isaac and Asha had also agreed to play.
- Cyano, who had already befriended Elegial, decided to talk to her to inform her of the game. Elegial told him that she had already been offered to play it by Glitch, which made Cyano jealous.
- Meanwhile, Hartwell H. O., unaware of his friends being recruited to play a game, decided to go boating to pass the time. Thus, he did not see that someone was trying to contact him via Pesterchum.
- Scoville, back in the forge, thought about the implications of Tyrogue's death. His train of thought was interrupted by Tobias, who told him that he would be able to arrive the next day. Scoville avoided mentioning Tyrogue to Tobias, instead saying offhand that his position was open. Scoville would have to bury Tyrogue before Tobias arrived.
- Elegial was also contacted by the mysterious Pidgey, and advised the Pidgey to fight the assaulting Seviper head-on, despite the low chance of success. Taznehru, who had been masquerading as the Pidgey, ended the conversation and sat frustratedly in a small shed filled with crates of rotten onions. Resolving to take action, Taznehru hid in a tree and prepared to attack whoever came by next.
- Glitch prepared to go meet Banyu, taking a few Oran Berries and equipping a wooden sword to fight with. Then, he set off for the beach.
- Kachi reported to his friend Pendulum rumors of a strange and possibly dangerous Pokémon appearing in the forest near where he lived. Pendulum was skeptical, but cautioned him to approach the situation in a logical manner. The two discussed playing the game and agreed to contact Banyu about it.
- Banyu found twelve discs in a mysterious temple. Intrigued, she gave her findings to her friend Glitch, who then relayed them to Tobias.

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
So Elegial has had a conversation with both Hartwell H. O. (pD) and Tobias (Sandstriker).
We agreed that pD would post the first conversation, but I'm not sure about the conversation with Tobias. What would you prefer, Sandstriker?

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
The problem is that canonically Scoville still doesn't have anybody's chumhandles except Tobias's and Glitch's. Hey Spark, tomorrow at 8:00 GMT, you want to have a conversation where Glitch gives him the chumhandles of Banyu, Cyano, Elegial, and also Isaac, Asha, Tazhnehru, Kashi, and Pen, if Glitch or Banyu finds out that they're playing the game. Sort of like a massive contact book dump.
Edit: Alternatively, I could pester Glitch and you could tell Scoville that you gave my chumhandle to everyone else offscreen. That way we wouldn't have to list everyone's chumhandles and they could catch Scoville unawares with random conversations.
Edit edit: Actually I think Scoville's already gotten Banyu's chumhandle, so that's one you don't need to repeat. Btw, has anyone heard from Misc or sournote lately? Any idea if they know about this continuing?

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
Right now Elegial's probably going to just enter normally; since she doesn't know Kachi (yet) I can imagine there might be some stuff about that. She's also going to relocate to a different cave for entry for reasons.
Also, I don't know about misc, but sournote hasn't been on the forums since August.

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
I think so, but I'm not positive. It's probably buried somewhere in the thread. What I do remember is Banyu-Glitch-Isaac-Scoville-Pen, but I don't remember past the ones that don't involve me. Also my land will for sure be Land of Glass and Magma. Glitch's will probably be Land of Grain and Thunder. For the rest of you, I'd recommend starting to think about that.

Oh
That's good
I'm too lazy to go look up if it already happened but you should probably go tell Glitch/Banyu that you'll play ASAP since you'll probably have to be the third to get the games

Re: Ballstuck: A Pokémon SBURB RP
Whoever decides to tell him, remember to give Glitch "popPostulator" rather than
"concreteCarina". Taz is going to switch back to his usual handle once the "outsiders" get to know him a bit, but before that he's going to keep using PP.
Not that you'd forget that, but yeah.
