Premier Alexander Romanov Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 You know, I may have posted my app after yours, but you chose the name for the person your character hates. I'm using my birth name, something I don't really have any control over. It's a coincidence, and if your character has a problem with it, my character will point out that he is not your brother. Furthermore, it's a common name. Your character was bound to run into someone with that same name eventually. In every single Pokemon game I have played, there has been a Trainer named Daniel somewhere in there! So what's your problem with my name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCat Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sorry Final. Duke's unease with your character was not meant to offend you in anyway. I made Duke to be uncomfortable and somewhat fearful in certain situations due to things he when through in childhood because of his twin siblings who, as you say, happen to have a common name. I figured he would meet a trainer with their names, but not as a player. Daniel is a name I happen to like myself and I have used it several times in role plays as well as works of fiction, as well as having a best friend and two classmates with the name. I only choose it because it has a feminine form that sounds the same as the masculine, which fit into the naming scheme I was giving Duke's family. It may seem in poor taste to you, but I had no way of knowing that your given name was Daniel. Again, I apologize. The fact that the sharing of names is a coincidence is something Duke would have addressed himself but he has only referred to Daniel in one post so far and I haven't had time to have him interact with all the other participants. Also, Duke has inadequacy issues as it pertains to his height, (I am the opposite, felling my 6'2 is a bit too tall) and his personality is one that would be irritated around tall people. I also apologize for my earlier post pertaining to the name. It was intended as a joke relating to the character, but it comes across as an insult now that I know your real life name. That was not my indention and I take it back and hope you forgive me for any disrespect it implied. I hope that this misunderstanding will not get in the way of further role playing or hinder and otherwise negatively impact our interactions as users both in this RP, any other or elsewhere on the site. (I would have posted faster but the page refreshed and I had to start over.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Ah, it's fine. Looking back, I kinda seem a bit pompous and prickish, and I apologize as well. Now that you mention it, maybe Daniel (the character) could help Duke out, and they could be friends. I also apologize for my character sounding rather uptight, but he's in an unknown environment. All he's known of the great outdoors is a pretty forest filled with bugs with his home just across a beautiful bridge. He's uneasy and insecure about being so far away from his flat and his collection of Pokemon, so he's a bit stressed. His idea of going on an adventure is going to a museum or at least going out into the wild in a semi-controlled environment to shoot an episode of his internet show "Bug Catching For Dummies", not gallivanting across entire regions. He doesn't even have any camping supplies with him! He thinks there will be a Pokemon Center every 500 feet that will offer him everything he would need! He may be a Bug Fanatic, but he's a researcher at a college, not someone who actually goes out into the field. This is his first true Pokemon adventure, but he no longer has any of his child-like wonder...at least, it seems like he no longer has it. That's why my character is so old compared to the others, save for the jerk who just slimed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Applause for the speech, Final. From what I have seen of this (thanks to school), you are pretty much both justified, and should just put it behind you....And I still think Ace may try to become friends with Daniel...if only to try and "cheer" Daniel up.

Renzoku Kira- Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 So who are the groups that have been formed when we start the battles since I think I am in a Group with Ace and Nathan, but I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I don't know, but since Nathan has "gone to bed", Ace has moved off and is currently with Duke and Daniel. Don't take my word for it though; wait and see what the others think; I had school all day, so am not really understanding what happened while I was "away".

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm thinking Daniel could be in a group with Duke and Melina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Except, like I said, Ace just moved back and is now with Duke and Daniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCat Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Crap, I forgot about the 2-3 post rule... And Duke and Daniel with Melina in a group. Hilarity will ensue. And pain. But mostly Hilarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Don't worry. Chu is the only Electric-Type I plan on Daniel having. In fact, his next Pokemon will either be a Trapinch, a Yanma, or a Surskit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCat Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hmm... I haven't really thought of it yet.... either Marill, Corfish or Munchlax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I haven't either. No idea what I'll get. Maybe something fire...or water...or electric. Those are my favorites, so it will probably be one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legolover09 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Umms, what happened while I was gone? Has there been so much posting that I am now lost and will probably be stuck constituently and should quit now? It would be my fault for lack of time, not yours.

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well, every group needs a Surfing Pokemon, like Lapras. And it has to be big enough for the entire group to fit on, like Lapras. Melina's Rhyhorn could learn Surf, but we should probably catch another Pokemon, like Lapras. Hey! I know! Each group should catch a Lapras! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Ha!...Question: Rhyhorn is a Ground/Rock-Type...how would it use Surf? Wouldn't its body slowly erode as it swam through the water??? And hey! There are other Pokemon that could learn Surf, like.......okay, well there are others, but...I just can't think of them right now (at least ones big enough to carry a whole group).

legolover09 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Umm... Yeah, see. People forget about my question. Since I am too far behind, I will probably end up [i]having[/i] to quit. And no, I have no lcue why I emphasized having. I thought it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan919 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Legolover, there is no reason for you to quit. I missed a whole buttload of posts, but I still managed to catch up. Just try and read through the posts, at least enough to understand what is currently happening. If that doesn't work, please just ask us. I would hate it if someone left the role play so early in (even though I'm not the owner/host). Besides, from what I've seen, you're pretty talented.

legolover09 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well thanks, but I am not even sure where I am located in relation to you. Because on my first post, you guys had some problems where I was in location to others. I had to quit rps too because I just feel bad, and would probably end up posting if I could know where everyone was and where I was. Because i think on page 6 you had a problem with my post. But I repeat myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCat Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Everyone is basically walking to the Professor Ivy's place. We discovered Melina's phobia, Better slimed Daniel, Austin injured Pichu by accident and Daniel is introducing himself to Duke and Ace. That's basically it, I think.

.Corgi Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I seek permission to join the group. But I don't know.. Maby you'll ignore me as everyone else... Anyway, it kinda disturbs me that when you guys post, it's like 2 A.M. for me... So I cannot keep up with this so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 legolover09: I don't care. I had the same problem. Just stay calm, and if you don't know how to come back in, ask! Please! I don't want to lose someone so soon into the RP. Mew: I have the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
