Htamret Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Are you saying that Laconda is faster than Rapthistle even when being pinned? I'll have to make a post tomorrow, then.There is one thing though. So is Rapthistle able to knock over a bookshelf, or are you going to retcon that somewhat since I think you thought Laconda was on a lamp? Rapthistle being able to knock over a bookshelf is quite the feat imo, so I think a bit of a retcon is in order to explain how Laconda is pinned. Sorry if I'm being difficult, but I'd rather wait until you edit or otherwise change the post so I can properly respond to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 It's been edited. Regarding the force . . . the force with which a bird-hipped dinosaur could swing its tail is approximately its body mass x the length of its tail squared. Much math later, given that little Rapthistle's tail is approximately a foot long when extended and it weighs about twenty-seven pounds, even assuming the bookshelf weighs three-quarters of a ton (1500 lbs), it would fall, albeit slowly. MATH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I should probably mention that Neos actually used a combination of Double Team and Agility to make it so that he didn't stay in one spot long enough to form a visible double before the swoop-up beyond where he started from. I should also mention that the Ditto knows nothing of the Fairy type...which makes things interesting, since that's one of the types his human form (which is treated as Normal/Fighting) is weak to.

Tesability Black Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Sorry for double-post, but...um, TND? Neos' hair is a vivid-blue, not purple. XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 If anyone wants to put the Dex entry for Cragmite in their own post, here it is: <<Cragmite, the Building Pokémon. Rock/Bug-Type. These Pokémon consume wood, stone, and even metal to later use to build their labyrinthine nests. A large enough swarm can eat a city in just three days. Evolves into Stalachnid>> EDIT: And Cosdrake's:<<Cosdrake, the Star Child Pokémon. Dragon/Fairy-Type. These swift creatures are rare to the point of being believed a myth by many. However, during events like meteor showers and eclipses, one may notice them appearing in very large numbers to stargaze. Evolves into Dragalaxy.>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Couldn't resist updating the last post with that entry, so now we have a Ditto that's currently doing his brand of 'What the F*ck'. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconus297 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Oh, and since we know the others: Cragmite is 11" tall, quite possibly the smallest Pokémon to date. It does weigh 45 pounds, though. Stalachnid is a staggeringly huge 5'10", and a whopping 783 pounds. In terms of how it functioned in terms of gameplay, Cragmite's BST is the same as Kakuna, and the stats have a similar distribution. Basically, imagine having a Kakuna with various attacking and status moves for 23 levels or so. At night after reaching level 25, it evolved into Stalachnid, which is beastly. First off, it has a BST and stat distribution reminiscent of Golem, and a much wider movepool including entry hazards, powerful attacks, and some scary options in case you don't want a bulky physical sweeper or a setup/Rapid Spin Pokémon. In fact, aside from special attacks and, ironically, other setup Pokémon, this thing doesn't really have much you can do against it. Yeah, it's slow, but who cares? Rock Polish or two, you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Cragmite's still beat out by Joltik in the 'tiny' department. I will say that if this Cragmite smacks into Neos and tries to eat his necklace...well, lemme put it this way. 'What Cragmite?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htamret Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Really random thing, but we have people using different tenses in this RP. I originally used past tense then saw that Draconus was using present and switched to that since it flowed more to respond to their present tense with present tense. Does anyone have any preference as to what tense should be used? It's probably not that big of a deal but whenever I go to post I'm torn between using past and present. I'm sure everyone is mentally correcting the posts into their preferred tense, but I'm personally finding it weird to respond to a post in a different tense than the one used in the post.

Tesability Black Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I'm admittedly used to using past tense, that's an old habit due to past schooling. Only exception is in regards to what the characters are saying, which will always appear to be in present tense, even in real life unless referring to a past event.

Draconus297 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I do primarily use present tense, but if enough people use past tense I will switch. I prefer to think in the now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htamret Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I agree with Draconus. It makes the post seem to be happening as opposed to just being told about what happened. I haven't posted because of this, I do have something in mind as to what to post, so nce this get cleared up I'll be right on it.That being said, is everyone cool with using present or should we switch to past tense?

Tesability Black Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Erm...you guys can switch to present, but I'm stuck in past tense. If you require me to post in present tense, we might as well kill this RP right now because I won't be able to do it. Someone does something a certain way for 15+ years then suddenly requiring them to do things a completely different way just doesn't happen.

Draconus297 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 It's honestly not that big of a deal. The only deal-breaker in an RP, at least to me, is second person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Agreed there. That's best done if you're writing something akin to a choose-your-own-adventure story. Admittedly a sucker for those growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htamret Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Okay, got it, no problem. Tbh I think I might use past tense, it feels more natural and I was using present to fit with Draconus. I might flip-flop, so sorry about that in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 If anyone wants Cragmite, it is available as a capture here before anywhere else. Level 2 Rock/Bug Pokémon, with possible Abilities of Sturdy, Compound Eyes, or Prankster. Please note this before responding in IC, so no one faints it just because.

Draconus297 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Sorry to double post, but I did post in the IC, so anyone can move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htamret Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'd be up for catching it. Ashley seems like the kind of person who wouldn't pass up a chance to impress others. Only problem is that Laconda has really low HP atm as far as I know. She might end up forgetting that in the heat of the moment though, and either way a good shot with a Water Gun should get it to a catchable level, no?Of course, you have the final say in all of this, being host and all.

Draconus297 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I left it open just in case anyone wanted Cragmite. If neither TND nor Talim wants it, you're all free to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Neos is likely to accidentally crush in his hand. XD For its sake, someone else should probably catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htamret Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm going to wait for tnd and talim to post, since the post order that's sort of occurred has me last, or at least talim since I've had character interaction with Neos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 About the only reason I haven't posted yet is because today was just a flat horrible day.
