I'm gonna have to agree with manahdon. In my vision of Lethia, not that this is correct, b from what I've understood all I see is a giant floating region bordered by security and things like that. I don't think it's possible to get into Lethia without contacting proper authorities and such, and since there's no life or death important reason for Steven to be in Lethia without going completely off topic (keeping in mind the fact we have two plot lines to develop containing Lethias evil team and the road to the league consisting of what will happen between us when the time comes.) of course you have your Lugia plot that is essentially yours to develop but when I out myself in my characters position it doesn't effect him much since he doesn't know a thing about it, therefore it's only really a Cabbage/Gelius plot. I don't think it's wise to split off and create more plots than everyone can handle if you get what I'm saying?
(Sorry autocorrects a bum)
That doesn't seem like a legitimate excuse. It was bad enough with mashing the various teams and Shadow Lugia in, but this is bordering on ridiculous. Steven Stone has no reason for being in Lethia, nor do any of your character's rarely present friends. While I'm certainly one to talk with the plans of Hypno, it does serve a purpose (providing some of the Pokémon backstory I never gave), instead of deviation from the plot.
None of Gelius's companions should even be in Lethia, and I don't think Steven is going to sneak onto a floating rock.
I have to agree with all three of these post's. Shadow Lugia and mashing in the various teams is reaching a point to where it's difficult to tell whether it's appropriate or if it's just bad story telling. Granted, mixing in the different teams and organizations is one thing, since a vast majority of them have arrived to Lethia; Mixing everyone with your plot is not really a way go. I don't even see Steven Stone even coming to Lethia at all nor do I see why he would want too; If he's a gym leader, then he ought to stay in his region and manage his gym.
I don't mind if you deviate from the full plot to pursue your own story to
promote character development. In fact, last Iteration to this RP, some of the groups main members split off for a while away from the plot in order to pursue relationships and training to become stronger characters when they rejoined and it went pretty well. On top of that, if it's something between you and Cabbage, If she (
or he [Note:
Am unaware of the users gender in real life,
most of the avatar items in her profile are feminine so I'm going to say the user's female.]) accepts it; then that's your shtick.
If you deviate from the main plot to do something
100% on your own by doing some form of spin-off, then you should make your
team and pursue that instead and make the best attempt to keep it reasonable while the rest of us pursue our own goals.
Like Demonic mentioned, Shadoan, Morty and Luke are the only ones not affect by your subplot nor are we apart of it or in a position to be apart of it nor are we choosing too since we're having enough fun developing characters amongst one another while I pit us against some battles, challenges, ideas and problems for each of them to overcome; whether we succeed at some or fail.
@
DemonicWolf: Besides the lack of some security, you got your vision of Lethia pretty spot on Demonic. There's a reason to the lack of security, though I'll reveal it once we make more headway.
Another Note, I may start to move the S.S. Behemoth back to the Olive City Temporarily. To make an entry point story-wise for new comers to Lethia and ontop of that, send any weakened trainers home or other trainers looking for a way off the floating island. If so, I'll post an announcement that will be hitting the tablets in my next post.
