NotFishing,
Original message details are unavailable.
Bio

Name: (This is the name given to you on earth)

Koray Name: (Your birth name)

Appearance: (Clothing, looks, etc.)

Magical ability: (Can only have one. Go into detail)

Char history: (Life on earth. Where they are from, family, school etc.)

Anything else to share:
I see no content whatsoever saying characters had to be of that type. Nowhere in the thread does it specify you had to role-play as a type of person.

OK, see you tomorrow.

You can typically figure out the character mould from the thread itself - the character is a 17 year old Koray, or one destined to assist the Koray. With your characters, I think you're trying to pull off the later... so, in my opinion, nobody really has right to point flaws here.

I guess, if I were to pass criticism, I would suggest for you to try and understand and manipulate the current elements that are in play before adding new ones (aka. sit back and let wolf do the heavy lifting!) Also, if your characters have the time to let off several cool catch phrases AND still do stuff, your cutscene is a little too long since everyone else must play second fiddle to your series of events.

... This does sound a little pretentious on my part, given that we've only just started and I'm ony a fellow role player!

GEORGE, CAN I SUGGEST ANOTHER STAT SYSTEM?

Barring the unforeseen circumstance that you are planning to add to your system, I was thinking maybe you could use something like this.

Stats are judged out of 5.
1 - Impotent
2- About Average.
3- Above Average.
4- Above mere mortals.
5- Messiah-kun.

Stats:
Strength: (How much force one can exert with their arms)
Dexterity: (Speed, reflexes and accuracy)
Willpower: (Mental Stamina)
Intelligence: (How smart your character is in general knowledge)
Leadership: (How sociable your character is)
Luck: (Leave blank. Value is denominated by how much George likes your character)


For example, if you're a law grad student who runs a corporation conglomerate, your leadership could be somewhere around 4-5. A housewife may have a willpower of 3, while an armless cripple would have a strength of 1. The perfect Mary sue would have 5's across the board.

This system could be a better indication of a characters intended strengths - rather than assigning skill points, you would trust roleplayers to be fair. I don't know, rating 1-3 just seems a little overly simplistic to me - unless, of course, only the most able of individuals were taken after death.

No, my super werewolves cannot defeat the king on their own, as they cannot wield weapons in their monster form. Having no means to protect themselves means it'd be easy to cut their legs off or attack their head directly.

"easy"

Which is why you depicted them leaping and jumping all over the place?

Also, are the wolves easy to kill in the same way that Magnifulus's power is more of a disadvantage than anything else?


Azi Demonica said :
I am only controlling my own characters, I am not throwing out anyone, I referenced everyone else in their areas.

Again, you have seized control of the situation from everyone else by introducing your own NPCs.

Azi Demonica said :
I am not throwing out anyone, I referenced everyone else in their areas. No, I am not expecting you to roll with it, you don't have to if you don't want to.

Okay, we have clearly stated we don't want to roll with it. But the only way for us to NOT roll with it is for you to delete the post introducing the werewolves, or for Wolfpack to say that the post referencing the werewolves is not canon. So to say that we have a choice in this matter (other than going along with whatever you write or stopping the RP) is utterly false - we can't continue the RP until this is resolved.

Azi Demonica said :
The pack is indeed larger and stronger than the other users' characters. They have to be to save them.

The pack is powerplaying, and you were never explicitly given permission to introduce them in the first place. Also, Wolf said help them, not save them.

Azi Demonica said :
No one said that, and what I did is not dishonest.

You said that. You even say it later again in your post: "I had permission to laser beam through it." Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Also, do you really not see the sneaky underhandedness or blatant immaturity in asking someone if you can do something, and then immediately exploiting their vague response and using it as an excuse to do whatever you want, even though you know that probably wasn't what the person meant and that others will inevitably take issue with it given how they reacted to your earlier characters? And then trying to say it's all okay because you TECHNICALLY weren't forbidden from doing that, when you should have known better?

Azi Demonica said :
all users are allowed to do whatever they want.

Not remotely true in the slightest. There are both written and unwritten rules involved in roleplay.

Azi Demonica said :
Of course my characters are different, I see no reason to mimic or recreate the same thing.

Oh okay, all of our characters are basically the same to you.

I mean, never mind the fact that they all have different backstories, different motivations, different appearances, and different powers. The only thing that makes them "the same" is that they are all from Earth.

Yeah, thanks for discounting all the effort that went into making our characters unique.

Azi Demonica said :
I did not specifically allude what I would do because users here have been complaining a lot lately, so I wanted to excel and surprise them, but I failed, as I often do.

"People have been saying that my characters are too over the top. I know how to make it up to them - I will introduce even more over the top characters!"

Azi Demonica said :
Yes, since users were unable to resolve the situation, I felt obligated, and had permission, to laser beam through it.

If this was a situation to be laser beamed through or to have some last minute intervention, then it's up to Wolf to do so. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Did Wolf say "You can laser beam through this situation."? No? He only said you could help, presumably with your own characters, because those are the only things you have been specifically allowed to control.

Azi Demonica said :
My excuses are based on facts.

Flimsy facts that don't hold up once you apply critical thinking skills and common sense. You are taking everything here at face value without reading between the lines, and you are fully exploiting technicalities in what other people are writing as an excuse to do whatever you want, when you know people have issues with it.

How do the wolves even know that the teenagers are Koray? They don't, and have no way of knowing. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

"Name given to you on earth."

"Life on earth."

The bio format is clearly geared towards characters from earth. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

I haven't thought of a name for my Pokemon RP yet, but I'll say this.

There are 18 gyms instead of 8, one for each type. And each Gym Leader has a Mega evolution in their side.

Then you have to face the Elite Eight. But instead of the Elite Fours who normally base themselves around types like Gym Leaders do, the Elite Eight each revolve around a certain type of weather or terrain, such as sun, rain, Grassy Terrain etc. On top of that, they each have a legendary (not including Mewtwo, event Pokemon or cover stars such as Groudon), an Ultra Beast from Sun/Moon, and their own Mega evolution. And although you can use weather or terrain manipulation (or even both) against the Gyms, you can't do that with the Elites. Their weather or terrain is fixed for the whole battle, and they will use it against you.

As for the Champion, he gets his own weather and terrain type which weakens several types of attacks used against him, and 4 of his team come from events. He also has an Ultra Beast, and of course the monstrous Mega Rayquaza, a Pokemon so strong that it's even banned from tournaments designed specifically for the overpowered!

This challenge is not for the fainthearted. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!
