It's fine you two. Just try to post. <Challenger>, just try to post when your up to it.
Another Mechanic is added, though this one, I had to make on the fly to accommodate Gelius3 and hopefully it will become helpful to those with busy lives in the future.
Plot Totems
Gelius3 is going on a trip that doesn't allow him any decent internet access or rather that if he tried to access it; it would burn a hole in his wallet the size of Texas and Kentucky put together.
Plot Totems are a method of trying to catch up story wise and join us in the present time. Though this means extra work on a person's post; since they have to explain and include in the post where such and such person was at the time to what let to now.
I.E.
For example, since Gelius3 will be missing his post to the entry test.
[Totem: Olivine Docks]
(Gelius3 will include his entry battle, receiving his ticket and boarding the ship.)
[Totem: S.S. Behemoth]
(Gelius3 will explain his activities on his trip to Lethia.)
(Next paragraph, explains what he's doing now, fully caught up with the group.)
I.E. 2
For myself if I miss a day or week
[Totem: Lethia Arrival]
Shadoan, finally arrived on Lethia exits the boat with his team consisting of [NPC names], He was kicked out of the team for being too annoying for his advice on survival since he has had experience on Lethia before and knows how to survive it better than anyone. His ex-team were later taken as prisoners to [Evil organization name here], robbed of their pokemon and either left to rot and die or put on a boat to go back to the mainland, unable to reach Lethia anymore.
[Totem:Traveling to (Insert location of my team here)]
Shadoan made a perilous journey, avoiding territory of bug and fire types while hiking his way up the mountains where he meets (Teammate Name insert) for the first time.
Shadoan waves at (Teammate Name) and invites him into Team Skyward.
You don't have to follow this EXACT format, though if you leave for a week or a month and are behind on the story, you just need to use Totems to explain where your character was, what he was doing that would catch you up to now. The pro in this is if you leave the RP due to life issues and comeback later to it when issues are cleared of if you miss us that much, you have a way in terms of plot to catch up back to the rest of the group.
The Con to this mechanic is the workload, If you missed a lot, you need separate totems to explain all you missed, and when you finish, you may become either to agitated to keep going to either quit again or too tired to post for a while before you make another post such in 2-3 days. I will rework the mechanic so this doesn't exactly become a burden to everyone.
