DarkLight Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 In Latin, cold is "frigus." You could guess where "frigid" came from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code: PIRULUK Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi Notus! You did a good job with the foreshadowing for Candice, it pretty much played out exactly as I'd hoped. I still remember grinning to myself when I penned down that development^^ Anyway, good job, keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yash Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hey.. As a reader that twist was just awesome.. While not something unexpected, it definitely made reading much more enjoyable.. Having completely blind sided the group was a brilliant idea.. Only the reader would have all the info to put together she was Candice, since each event happened among a different set of people.. Its kind of like putting a puzzle of Fria together to reveal Candice.. @Acquiescence that was some brilliant writing and @Notus did some great work letting it all fall into place.. I just would like to point out some stuff I felt dulled the reveal, something that as a reader I felt gave away too much information.. There were a few too many hints about Candice helping the team.. To have so many ice pokemon come and help the different groups in a variety of places, even the scene with the abomasnow trio made it obvious something was up with Fria.. On retrospect, her frivolous attitude seemingly made a mock of the teams attempt to break in.. It would have been so much better had she acted more careful.. I know that isn't in her character but maybe in such a case it could be justified.. Just feel that it could have enhanced the element of surprise for readers.. I can understand that the multiple events were necessary so that the groups have a reason to trust Candice, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad to leave a few of them in doubt?? Another thing I was curious about was the abruptness of the different groups meeting each other.. Was that planned to shorten the time taken to finish the chapter? I mean it is plausible, but the groups all enter at different times in different places in the city.. Maybe they could scout for slightly longer or set up a base before the other teams get in, I believe that was Jory and Carissa's plan.. Anyway those are just some of my ramblings.. I tend to get talk too much on such things.. .. I just hope that registrations open soon.. Can't wait to be a part of this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rielly987 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Notus from here are we breaking off into chapter 3b or remaining in chapter 3a and if we do break off into 3b would the people in the conclave be 3c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notus Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hehey, thanks for the feedback Acquie! It's really good to know I managed to do it to your liking. Also thanks for the opinions Yash, your's were valid points - specially about the abrupt meeting - and I'll consider them for the future. Hopefully you will be playing along with us soon! So, from here we will go to chapter #3b. The group will be divided in two, but you will all post in the same thread with tags identifying which team you're on (something like Conclave or Gym just above your posts.). This way we will avoid having multiple threads to browse in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 About the Conclave, we need at least 3 people to even stand a chance. I mean Drake probably could take a floor (maybe two) and one of the mother's Pokemon but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Squad Felicity Posted December 22, 2014 Support Squad Share Posted December 22, 2014 I honestly don't know where to send Adam. If I send him to the conclave I feel he'd become a bit more unhinged than he's been so far, but if I send him to the gym, I feel he'd let his guard down about the possibility of death and pay for it later on...

Flux Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well, Flux is off to the Gym. How could he resist a battle with Candice after her grand deception? Besides that, I think Ogre's Head Smashes will cause some pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLight Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'm lost myself, since Electric types could go either way. It could go for the gym, but Jolteon could be hindered by the ice field. It could go for the conclave, but Miki would want to go and see the Regice... Help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Azeria Posted December 22, 2014 Veterans Share Posted December 22, 2014 Eh,Snorlax would be good in the gym with his thick fat ability letting him resit ice moves.But then again the Mother could be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code: PIRULUK Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 @Dobby, go for the conclave. It will lead to better character development, and the others will be there to stop you going crazy. @DarkLight, go for the gym. Miki may be a strategic thinker, but she's also a very excitable girl. More than likely her anticipation of seeing Regice in battle would overpower her fear of a terrain disadvantage. Besides, you could always just work around said disadvantage.

krim Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) For those of you still undecided, a list might help.Gym: Nemir, Thoron, Flux, Pine, Seth and MikiConclave: Drake, Jory, Carissa, Adam, Alina and Sarcus Undecided: Jon and MichaelEdit: Undecideds moved around. Let me know if anyone has problems with this. Edited December 23, 2014 by DragonMasterKrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jory Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 For those of you still undecided, a list might help. Gym: Nemir, Thoron, Flux and (Most likely) Pine, Conclave: Drake, Jory, Carissa, Alina and Sarcus Undecided: Jon, Seth, Miki, Adam and Michael I agree with Acqui, that would probably be best. I'd send seth with the Gym team thanks to Giga's high HP stat and ability to use both Fire and Fighting attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flux Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Jacob looked to Carissa and then to the others. With the assortment of Pokemon the rest of the group had, he knew they wouldn't have too much trouble in terms of type matchup against Candice. Such.. Jacob?

DarkLight Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 @Acqui: Thanks for the advice. I'm most likely going to go with that due to her personality. @Flux: And... I'm not surprised that I didn't catch that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
