I think considering pushing some Mortal World plot a bit forward would be nice, but not necessary. I would like to get to introducing Kina, now that I have lots of time to write for her.

Could always introduce her with Michi-chan's gang. Once Free Hand posts that all should start moving again in some semblance of direction. I know we're holding off on that plot till Zarah can devout time to this game.

[KnightDisciple]

Even if we allow things to ease into "true" plot, we've still got things going on right now. *Shrugs*

Party's still going on, for instance. Alexander's trying to sneak in and peek, after all.

That was my point

There is alot of stuff going on, but its sorta plot-lite and we're kinda artificaly keeping it that way in a sense. I say we break down that dam and just let it flow. Thats really all I'm saying. No harm in doing that right?

[KnightDisciple]

I'd prefer if it was more like a controlled opening of the sluices, rather than just breaking the dam.

[Innis Cabal]

That sorta seems like flicking on the plot switch to me. The game already feels a little inorganic for my tastes, but thats really a personal opinion. Even if its a "controlled" state...well...I just don't like that world "Controlled". I've voiced my worry over it already though I suppose and it is a community game after all, so I suppose what comes comes.

I actually have a planned introduction for her, it involves school starting. She shouldn't show up until then, because she hasn't met anyone.

[Draken]

I don't think there is such a thing as breaking the dam really.

Plots come like they are now. Slowly. Really, the current threadlines, while minor in scope of results, are bearing sensible results that can influence future events. That is by definition, plot.

Plus they already hold many characters in activity within then, even if not in combat (save for Las Noches, of course).

The only way for a "breaking of the dam" to happen, is if every plot were treated to an episode thread and most people went for two-three people plots, all at once. Then it would be a breaking of the dam, but of subplots.

[Innis Cabal]

It was a poor way of expressing what I meant, forgive me. What I more meant to say was lets not have people hopping in and saying "Remember, no plot" when things start progressing, as has happened already.

Your right, not really a breaking of the damn more, leaving the cell door unlocked.

[OverWilliam]

You asked for critique of the idea of porting, did you not? He's providing it. Nowhere in there does it indicate to me that he's particularly upset, merely concerned, and pointing out the causes for worry. Now, please actually address his points.

I believe I will, thank you very much.

I'm gravitating toward the 400-450 range. Of that, a little under a Third has likely been spent traveling abroad (really, really far abroad), which will explain why he can "legitimately" skirt responsibility (the irony of that statement is delicious). The key here is that he's seen as valuable/useful, but not terribly reliable. (Wizards tend to be that way. ) In theory his tendency to disappear at seeming random was brought into question a long, long time ago, and it was decided that the value he adds to the Kidou corps affords the inconvenience of him disappearing with little warning every so often. He's only been back from his most recent trip for the last 10 years or so, which isn't all that long. That is to say, they know he does that, and obviously tolerate it (after all, he still has a job)-- but that doesn't mean they like it too much. From an official perspective, he tends to be seen as being unreliable and a little bit of a wild card... a valuable one, but a wild card nonetheless. This is fine with him, because he doesn't want to be promoted anyway, so it's mostly on an individual/personal basis that people value or respect his experience and ask for his help. From the profile: "Yasu is often called on for Personal favors (and even, at rare times, asked to assist his Division, though they usually tend to leave him to himself)..."

Is that satisfactory?

[Innis Cabal]

Thats acceptable to me from the Kido Corp standing. Though if thats the case, his return is going to be an...intersting one.

[KnightDisciple]

Hm. That's still right around the age of several of the Captains. But...eh.

I would say you're wrong about wizards; many are actually fairly reliable. But whatevs.

If it's okay by the current Kido Commander, I suppose that's that.

[Krazddndfreek]

Hey guys I'm going to be visiting a friend's house for a few days, and we'll probably be busy playing videogames for the weekend, so I won't be here for a while.

EDIT: I'll be back by sunday.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Alright Krazy. Have fun!!!

All this talk of ages makes me want to reconsider Sigint's age to be more appropriate for the "old dog of war" personality I seem to be going with him. Right now he is about 437, so that doesn't really make him that old.

Also, sorry about the lateness, but I'll finally get to readjusting Pico's stats.

Well. He's not young. It's just that there are several captains (and now apparently a somewhat unreliable wizard) in that age range. *Shrugs*

[Innis Cabal]

I'd think age wouldn't really be an important part of selecting who was in charge after a certain point. Considering its a military, they'd take the people most suited to lead regardless of their age. Canon clearly let Hitsugya in and we've got Takeshi. Both are young and really not all that learned in the ways of the world. Also Soul Society seems to run its leadership on Strength.

Yasu isn't the strongest Kido Corp member, so between his rather flighty nature and his lower then Captain (Which there seems to be a standard) power rating, even if he is one of the oldest members (and he's not. Tai is at around 600 and -she's- not Kido Commander or Vice Commander either) he's not not Commander material. The 46 -forcing- him to take the role when there are other people who want it and are just as if not more capable seems...well...self defeating to me.

The Kido Corp is meant to work in strange and mysterious ways.

On the reliablity of "Wizards"

[KnightDisciple]

...Just like OW's statement is "just an opinion"?

Takeshi's not exactly star material either, what with the overdone "pranks" and the drinking and so on.

Eh. Whatevs.

[Innis Cabal]

Just like Overwilliam's statement on unreliable Wizards is just an opinion, man.

And while I'd agree with you that Takeshi isn't star material, he's also not the only Captain who drinks alot or chases skirts. So really, he's in the same boat as several of the Captains of the Gotei. The only difference is he's younger.

[Draken]

And druggier.

And a superstitious gnat.

[Innis Cabal]

We're not allowed to talk about the drugs. Or so I was told.

"And that makes me a sad Kido Commander."

[Draken]

Can you call it a happy shroom?

Nah, the King is Elvis. Don't you know that already?

Righty approves this.

Long live the King!

What about the Fire Flowers? Who gets those?

Alright, here is Pico's updated sheet. I changed the stats of his Hierro, Sonido, Offense, Defense, and Ressurecion's Improvement ability. It's a bit rough, so what do you think?

Also, yes, Long Live the King indeed.

"Hey, Inyu. Rosa is swooning thanks to that Elvis fella', and I didn't even know she could be swooned. You might wanna get over there pronto."

"...is that Kyasarin-sama in the crowd?"

"...O_O...Oh my god, everybody's in that crowd!! HEY GUYS!!! A LITTLE HELP HERE!!"

And thus the circle is complete. Next thing you know though...

Megane and Tai of course.

[riccaru]

Nao's over 400 years old too, but no one except Ryouichi knows that. He's pretty much set himself up to not be a captain, because that would disallow him the chance to be who he is now. Is it alright if Nao was Suzume's second in command before she left, then Nao took over as the 4th seat?

[KnightDisciple]

Is 400 the new 100 or something?

[Innis Cabal]

Yep, and orange is the new black. Get on it Gotei 13.

First, Random number. It can be changed if it's needed? He's not a captain because he doesn't have Bankai, either. Though all things say he should. Who knows, not like he's tellin.

Second, Yoko has orange and black hair.
