Halo: WE ARE ODST, Part One: Spooks, Ghosts, and the Devil.

Before Tenjer knew it the Covenant forces he spotted had already noticed and were firing on McCoy, and in an instant Anders had already gunned down two grunts. When Ander's yelled at Tenjer to light him up he nodded and yelled "Right behind you!". Tenjer followed right behind him, dropping to one knee and using a shot of his DMR to get a third grunt who was turning in the head. Mentally counting the aliens he could make out eighteen of them, which meant they were down to fifteen by the time the Jackals responded with bringing up their shields. Just then he heard Brewer run up from behind, yelling not to shoot and then asking what the plan was. He pulled a pin off a frag grenade and said "Take these Covenant scum down and get McCoy out of there!". Right then he threw the grenade and it flew right behind the three Jackals who set up their shields. The grunts and elites say it in time to avoid but the Jackals having had their backs turned to it had no turn before the grenade went off, effectively killing the three Jackals and disabling their shields. A plasma bolt then hit him right him the helmet, it was hot and burned a bit but ultimately it was mainly absorbed by his armor. He sighed with relief and said "We're going to need some cover or to kill all of these guys soon or we're done for!".

Pokemon: The shadow journey

One question I want to get clarified, are we following game logic where Shadow Pokemon cease to be able to level up/get stronger?
I always found it odd how criminals would make pokemon that were unable to get any stronger.

Rylen Roach

Age: 19
Pokemon:
-Espeon/Solaire Lv.25 - Female - Psychic, Morning Sun, Shadow Ball, Hidden Power (Fire)

-Umbreon/Lautrec - Male Lv.25 - Assurance, Moonlight, Shadow Ball, Hidden Power (Electric)

His two first pokemon, as little kid he found two Eevee's sitting outside in a box saying "Please take me" outside of a pokemon Orphanage. He took them as his own as quickly the three became inseparable
.
-Lucario/Guardian - Male Lv.30 - Aura Sphere, Flash Cannon, Dragon Pulse, Extreme Speed

Lucario was a special case, earlier in Rylen's pokemon career he ran into people who used their pokemon to harass and bully people. He tried to stand up against them and was being beaten rather easily, that's when a wild Lucario had appeared and helped protect him and his pokemon. It was Lucario's might that scared the bullies off, but afterwards Lucario didn't seem to leave Rylen alone, so he unofficially became part of the team.

-Arcanine/RK9 Lv.28 - Female - Extreme Speed, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Flamethrower

One day Rylen say a Growlithe wandering outside town... Looking rather hungry he went out and fed it some food. Growlithe seemed to instantly like him, and much like Lucario would not leave him alone.

-Scizor/Clawz - Male Lv.25 - Swords Dance, X-Scissor, Agility, Night Slash

Rylen's first caught pokemon. He had watched a Scyther fly around ruining the neighbour's crops for a while now, and he knew the Neighbour's were calling authorities to get rid of it. So quickly he ran out and challenged it to a battle, after having beat it he caught the Scyther before it could get chased off.

-Alakazzam/Shazzam - Male Lv.25 - Psychic, Recover, Teleport, Thunder Wave

Rylen's second caught pokemon, as an Abra it had a habit of constantly teleporting off when Rylen got close... So one night when he approached it he left Lucario back. Once Abra teleported Lucario spotted where it went off to, so he engaged it instantly and would wait for Rylen to arrive.

See Shadow Pokemon: Once the Shadow Pokemon threat was suspected to be coming back, Rylen was given a scanner by his local pokemon lab because we was one of the more skilled trainers in the area.

Tyler Zyl

Age: 25
Pokemon: (Lavitar being his starter from his local pokemon lab. He caught all the other's and trained them rather ruthlessly, hence why he has no nicknames for his pokemon. When he joined Phoenix he got his strongest three pokemon made into Shadow Pokemon instantly to make them better at battles. The other three are currently in waiting, so other admins and high up member's also get their share of shadow pokemon.
-Gengar Lv.35 - Male - Hypnosis, Nightmare, Dream Eater, Shadow Ball

-Machamp - Male - Lv.35 - Cross Chop, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch

-Steelix Lv.35 - Male - Sandstorm, Iron Tail, Dig, Crunch

-Metagross - N/A - Lv.35 (Shadow) - Psychic, Iron Defense, Hammer Arm, Shadow Storm

-Tyranitar - Male - Lv.35 (Shadow) - Earthquake, Crunch, Shadow End, Hyper Beam

-Salamance - Female - Lv.35 (Shadow) - Dragon Claw, Fly, Shadow Fire, Dragon Dance

XCOM Roleplay - An Open Discussion on How It Should Work

Most of it all seems good.

The only part that worries me is the 2 weeks, out for good thing.
Someone could have a very serious life event hit them all of the sudden, or just really bad technical issues. This would cause them to be cut off for weeks, I think after the 2 week mark we should simply have it 'Person must have a very good reason for being absent to be let back in approach' rather than '2 weeks and you're out for good' approach.

XCOM Roleplay - An Open Discussion on How It Should Work

Honestly I'd just suggest letting people post where their comfortable.

Your casual standards being the minimum, but people are free to aim for the Advanced standards as well when the mood suits them. Dividing the players in this RP by skill level groups will only serve to divide the community helping make this RP.

Halo: WE ARE ODST, Part One: Spooks, Ghosts, and the Devil.

Tenjer shrugged in reaction to Ander's question and said "If Ross is at the other side I'd feel uneasy ignoring them. If they find him he's as good as dead". He gripped his DMR tighter, ready to aim and fire at a moments notice. "Though the two of us would have questionable odd's of succeeding too", he noted. "It may be best if we just pinged and waited for more back up to arrive", so Tenjer pinged his location again to update the rest of the ODSTs. He then noticed another Pod in the distance and went "There's another ODST nearby... If we're careful we might be able to get to him without alerting the covenant", and upon closer inspection he guess "Wait, I think that McCoys".

Tenjer began trying to evaluate the distance and said "If we wait a bit for the them to wander further off we can get to McCoy fine. But that would also put Ross in greater danger...". Not wanting to lose anyone else Tenjer was getting tempted to simply shoot at the Covenant now, and hope that Ross and McCoy got out fast enough to give aid.

Doctor Who - No Doctor/Torchwood Style

I am, was waiting for more interest though cause typically half of a groups players will vanish before it starts, essentially mean this would probably become a 1x1 RP.
I can still make the OOC though if people are still interested.

Xbox One

mdk said I used to walk into gamestop with a handful of crap I didn't want, and walk out with six pre-owned games and $40 of store credit. So.... yeah, actually, it can be better than free. But that's not the point. Point is, cheap old games are not the sole domain of the PC master race. PC-only indie titles, maybe. But even those get ported over to (well I play on PS4 but in general) consoles, and sometimes they're even free to download/play. Like Outlast. Went on steam sale for ten bucks, cost me nothing.

Maybe it's area based.

The Gamestop's in my area you're lucky to walk out with more than 5$ per traded in game.
And any game you can get comparable to a steam sale price is usually really old, or simply wasn't that good of a game.

Xbox One

Not as low as 5 or 2.50 a game.

Xbox One

That's a rather limited market, one that basically narrows you down to one outcome.

Dismiss everyone who looked at Xbox One and chose not to buy it? Only listen to those who decided it was worth getting? You just guaranteed that the only people you'll listen to are those who will buy the console, so go buy it. Because that's the only advice you're going to be listening to anyways.

Also a console shitty features or decisions both also influence the console and how good it is. So you've basically not only narrowed it down to those who will say yes, but only those who say yes, you also don't have any complaints.

It's looking a lot more like you want reassurance/agreement with your choice than actual insight/advice.

So, ignoring your conditions because you'll get no actual consensus or vareity of opinions otherwise.
Don't get it, most games can be played on any other console, the graphics and performance of the games are better, and Xbox One's UI will make operating it very frustrating and tedious. Not to mention with the legal constraints you could lose your games at any moment just cause Microsoft wants more money.

Lastly? Games for console = 60$ or more each.
Steam sale = Usually 10$ and less.

Pokerface said I have a standard xbox 360

mdk said I don't have an XB1 yet,

Oh grr! You gave him advice when you don't already own and like the console yourselves!
You fiends!

Atheism 2.0 - Atheism using Religions perks.

Brovo said Because it's . Lets be frank, nobody is going to read through this entire thread. They're going to read that one question because it's at the bottom of the first post.I mean if you already accept that it's a broken aesop... Then remove it.

It didn't occur to you that it just didn't occur to me to edit that?

I'll go edit it now.
