@Prints Avoid@Imperfectionist@Xan the G
I'm thinking of making a post tomorrow for the other two. It wouldn't affect your own opening posts, however. Regardless, I'll wait if you're both planning on posting soon. ^^

Well, today was a real nightmare for me (I really need to get myself some therapy), so in going to postpone my own post. I'll start working on one tomorrow as well, but might save to post it.

@Prints Avoid Just make this an introductory post. I just need to know what your character is doing and where he is. I can try to pitch some ideas to you tomorrow. But you don't have to worry about length. :)

No joke, I know that feel. Hope you're feeling better. I probably won't be able to post soon since some other outside life things caught up with me. I promise this is my first priority once all that gets sorted out

@Prints Avoid I guess I'm doing better. I'd like to blame it on my job, but I think I might have depression which causes anxiety which gives me hypertension. It felt like I was suffering a panic attack or something for hours. So that was my day.

But I hope everything's okay with you. :(
If there's anything I can do to help, I'll be around. If you want to vent, you know how to reach me. ;)

I have depression too. Sucks like a bitch. I'm here for venting, too. We can get through this.

Here's something more positive and vaguely related to the RP!

Make Yourself a Gym Leader!
@Prints Avoid@c3p-0h@DepressedSoviet@Imperfectionist@Xan the G
If you, personally (not your character), were a Gym Leader, what type would you be? What type of Pokemon would you have? What would your badge be and what would it look like? Would you gauge trainers of a particular trait or would they just have to beat you? Where would you be located (anime/manga/game or real life)?
The setting in which you place is completely up to you. The rules and regulations are completely up to you. Whether Pokemon know 4 or 234357893274 moves is up to you, etc.

For an example, I'll share mine. It's based off this RP's setting (so you can also get an idea of how the GLs function).


EDIT: Anyway, I'm going to fill in the GLs in the Map Notes. I'll let y'all know when it's done if you want to glance over it. ^^

EDIT: Done ^^

@DepressedSoviet hey, i'm really sorry but… on your next post could you maybe pick a less vibrant blue for your dialogue? you don't have to edit your old post, it's just that blue's such a strong color, it's kind of difficult for me to read, and strains my eyes. i'm sorry >.< again, you can leave your current post as is, just for future posts if that's ok ^.^;

@Phoenix I've tossed this together so far. Still lots of dice rolling and route descriptions to do, but the idea should be apparent. I'm also working on my first posts.

@Imperfectionist Wow, you've put in a lot of work for this. I really appreciate all that you've done so far.
I wouldn't mind following your formula and completing the routes for you, if you don't find a problem with that.

There's just one item I was thinking needed clearer description. The Travel Times (specifically the "a day" descriptions) are a little vague. Does "a day" mean 12 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours?
Perhaps listing it as "4kph or 30km in 8 hours" would be more definite in something as "specific" as this. Still, the math doesn't quite work out.
If we just do the hard math from the "day's travel" with the speed already determined, we'd have this:
30km in 7.5 hours.
100km in 6.67 hours.
130km in 6.5 hours.
Flight would be undetermined by "days" (though it wouldn't need to be determined by "days" unless you're traveling out of the region).

So if we want to go for 8 hours, it would be the following:
32km in 8 hours.
120km in 8 hours.
160km in 8 hours.
800-1600km in 8 hours.

The math would obviously differ if you wanted to define "a day" as something longer or shorter, however. I just noticed how "inconsistent" it was (though not dramatically).

I don't know what other factors you put into those numbers. So if I'm totally off, then ignore everything. xP

Regardless, if you'd like to take a break from it (and focus on your post), I'd be totally willing to finish it up for you. I love doing stuff like this anyway. xP
But, yeah, this looks amazing. Probably a niche thing to love something like this, but I'm a freak about numbers >.>

Well, I do it by a vaguely defined "day" because traveling is fluid. You generally aren't going to be moving constantly for exactly 8 hours every single day, and so both the km/h and km/day are just averages that I provided to give a feel for the travel speeds. Perhaps my thought that people would likely walk for more hours in a day on average than they would bike is faulty, but I will admit I didn't put hours of thought into those numbers.

They aren't supposed to be precise (that said, I've edited my numbers to match yours; might as well give them easily divisible hour amounts). The intention is that each player/character can determine whether they would be hasty travelers, moving faster than this average, or exploratory travelers who stop and get sidetracked all day, moving slower than the average.

The travel difficulty levels for each route/area are also obviously up for debate. I think the more difficult ones are obvious, but the difference between Level 2 and Level 3 might be tricky to determine.
