[OOC] HCL V: insert witty title here

[CreedTheChimera]

"The only reason Mia is alive right now, is because I forgot she was dead." Everytime I read that it just gets funnier and I don't know why.

[supertinyking]

Well, folks, due to complaints about my gming style, I am stepping out of hcl. My characters are up for grabs for whoever wants them. I'll be watching the thread, but not posting for characters anymore. I may post ooc side if someone refers to me for something about one of my characters.

@supertinyking

This is...entirely unexpected.

Have I been kept out of the loop?

@Letter Bee
Sorta, this was a discussion with Tyki, as I was being to harsh on him when it came to his ideas. As such, I feel I am unfit to gm, and will be stepping out of the rp. I feel I owe it to him to do so, as he is a close friend, and I would hate to continue to bother him over this.

Ah.

*Hugs*

i'm just gonna chime in here before people start bitching at me: i wasn't the one that said tiny should step down, he came to that conclusion on his own, and while he was a culprit of what i was complaining about, kishin, creed, matt, and pretty much anyone else from the original cast was at fault for the issues i was having... soo... yeah *puts up shield to fend off the pitchforks*

Already saw it, unless you're referring to a different post?

@Tyki
What issues were those?

[Tyki]

The original cast has a bad habit of, whenever i want to go the slow, methodical route someone or everyone insta-nopes it even if there's NO reason anyone should know about it, and then when i go a quicker route everyone complains and bitches and eventually i either have to leave or basically just stop playing. While i doubt anyone would notice this habit, it does occur pretty much every time and i've been talking to tiny about it today so he just went 'i'll fix it' and then made the previous post >.>

@Tyki

Echoing Tyki here.

I wanted to play with @ShadowVentus more. Alone. I did not want to be dragged into the main plot just yet, I wanted to do my own slow and steady route and build up power so that I can join the main plot once I have built up power and experience, both IC and OOC.

And the worst part is that I blamed Tyki for those designs getting frustrated and being basically railroaded.

What gives? I thought the purpose of the RP was for us to do whatever we want, as long as it's within reason and GMing capability?

@Letter Bee

Oh. I wish ya woulda said something like that sooner. I woulda left you be. Also, generally, when I have something set up, at least as I see it, Tyki finds ways of pretty much dismantling it in ways I find...dubeious, at best. For example, one thing I was planning for the mons was a invasion by malakai, but tyki simply said the legendaries would instantly kill all of them, either be reverting them to before they were born, creating black holes, ext, or by having Gin set up a world covering ritual using ritual magic, to kill all the soldiers. Or, as he put it, a ritual that just used the soldiers as fuel. When I asked him how Gin would know where they would strike, he said he'd just lure them into the trap, and that it'd be easy to do so. Now, normally I'd have them avoid such things, as traps like that leave little room for much to happen, other than mass death on one side or the other with little actual development, other than said bloodbath, but....as he put it, there would be no way for them to know, as Gin would apperently vanish off the face of the earth, undetectable to the spies of Malakai. Or, as he is powerful enough to, he's just kill almost anyone sent after him, but an overwhealming force, with ease. So, it's sorta hard to balance a story around that, a thign where you either destroy, or are destroyed, totally. So, it's my lack of ability to work around this that's lead me to seek to leave. I just can't work with it. And I am not willing to just sorta bitch and complain about it so others rally behind it. I'm sad to go, but I really can't think of ways to gm with Tyki. Our ideas of what should be possible just don't work, and even as co-gm, I feel like I lack the right to tell him flat out no, that's not gonna happen.....not that he'd listen anyway.

I thought it was obvious that I wanted to be left alone?

As for the rest of your post, I'll let Tyki handle this.

[supertinyking]

@Letter Bee

I don't really assume people want to be left alone. Mostly as if I do, I feel like I run the risk of them getting sorta snubbed in terms of interaction. If ya want to get left alone, ya gotta say so, or I try to get you involved in the main plot.

@supertinyking

I had an alternate start location and was already doing something with ShadowVentus? Those were not informative enough?

[supertinyking]

@Letter Bee

Not really. you talked about wanting to take on malakai, which was going to be where I was driving the rest of the gang, before Khaine started slapping biznitches. Also, Tyki sorta showed up first, so I assumed having a known agent of Malakai's show up might work best as a way of pulling everyone together.

Edit: I think Tyki showed up first. Gin, then Tiny? I think.

Mon Alliance Headquarters, Mt. Coronet in Sinnoh, Pokemon World

The Templum Domini was the name of the complex of tunnels, bunkers, and chambers that had been recently dug inside Mt. Coronet by the Legendary Pokemon Arceus himself as a show of support for the Mon Alliance, and Osamu was using it well; he was now keeping watch over the affairs of the Multiverse, while overseeing preperations for the advent of the mysterious enemy that had been the reason for the Alliance's formation in the first place.

In his command room, a large oval-shaped space kept alight by LED bulbs, the 18-year old Scientist-mage was conversing online with one of his spies, Meowth (yes, that Meowth), who, along with Jessie and James, have actually defected from Team Rocket this time; HYPNOS and Mr. Yamaki have been most...persuasive.

"So, as I was saying, Boss," Meowth was talking to his smartphone, the background behind him showing the fight between Khaine, Asura, and various other Multiversal Adventurers, "this bad guy, the Mad King Malakai, has sent one of his servants, Khaine, to take over this universe filled with bug-people, and other people are opposing him. Should we do something, Sir?" Meowth always had a consience, even during his time at Team Rocket. Osamu found it laudable, but not good for a spy.

Nevertheless, Meowth had served him loyally and well ever since HYPNOS and the Elite Four have crushed Team Rocket, and so Osamu respected the feline Pokemon.

"Not yet..." the 18-year old boy trailed off, already seeing Meowth's disappointment, "...because we are readying a direct strike at the 'Mad King Malakai's' HQ itself."

"But, sir!" Meowth sounded genuinely worried for his new boss, "You don't have access to Horus' full power, nor are your Digimon-partnered friends permitted to use Digivolution beyond Ultimate! That means that the amount of power you'll be able to use for a direct strike would be limited..."

"Limited, yes. But Malakai is overextending himself as well, if he's already made so many enemies. While his attention is drawn to various other worlds, he'll have pulled vital forces away from his capital, and then comes the hammer blow." Osamu briefly wondered why he was telling Meowth all this, but then decided not to pursue that line of inquiry; one of his minor weaknesses was the need for someone to talk to about his plans.

But, that didn't mean that he had to reveal all of said plans; should Meowth be captured, the Pokemon would not know exactly how Osamu planned to win the battle with King Malakai; that would be a surprise.

@Letter Bee

Sorry for quoting this long post, but, it's mostly the bolded parts that are relevant.

Point is, I was going to attack King Malakai from another direction, while he's distracted by Kishin and others, and judging from Cornwall's dialogue, you knew this, but kept on going as to how Malakai was stronger than Pokemon, Digimon, and SMT Demons.

others, and judging from Cornwall's dialogue, you knew this, but kept on going as to how Malakai was stronger than Pokemon, Digimon, and SMT Demons.

@Letter Bee

Not that I'm fully vested in this, but the gm's bad guy should be decently strong.

[Letter Bee]

@Wraithblade6, nothing I said disputes that part.
