[WAR] The Phoenix Battalion: Kicking Butt and Cheating Death!

[TheoreticalSelkie]

I just posted this for ASB, but figured it would be good to give you guys a heads up too:

I will be overseas for about 2 weeks, so I won't have reliable internet until July 7th. I can get on to post and stuff since my phone still has data, but other than that, it'll be pretty iffy until I get back.

Basically this means I can still post for the RP, but my entries in Pixel Art for the next two weeks mayyyyy be a bit iffy. It depends on whether I can find the time to get an entry together, and then upload it from my phone, which isn't the best option, but I can still do it.

So w/e, I don't think it'll set people back in the RP, but I'm still rather disappointed I may not be able to do pixel art :<

Don't feel bad, I haven't been posting in the RP either. I'll be honest, I haven't really felt all that motivated to do so, and it just doesn't feel all that fun like the last WAR RP was. It's crazy, here we came up with all these intricate PVP rules and 48 hour posting rate rules to ensure fairness, and, well, no need to worry about those anymore! There's been absolutely zero PVP fights in the RP at all and RP activity has been pretty minimal. Trust me, if you're worried about your character getting killed in the RP, it's never going to happen.

Also, I've had recent WAR Leader duties I've needed to attend to (I've been absolutely die-hard on getting scoring done on time knowing what happens if you let that fall behind), and I've been extremely busy with real life stuff to the point where I barely come on Skype anymore (I'm sure a lot of people in PB are wondering where I am). By the time I get a moment to work on entries, it's already the weekend and time's up for submissions. Friday night is like maybe my only open window, really.

I think my mistake was deciding to be a WAR Leader, a Team Leader, and a WAR Judge all in the same year WHILE working fulltime. Doing even just two of those things while working fulltime would be a very tough stretch, but all three, it's madness. You're going to be SAPPED with very little chance of getting entries in. I feel a bit bad because of it, because I know people wanted to coordinate things together in the RP, and I've honestly had to say "hey, just bunny me if you need to."

So yeah, that's kind of where I'm at. I was all too eager to get involved with just about every role I could possibly sign up for in the WAR and I definitely signed up for too much...

WAR Experience:*I served in the URPG FFA where it was PE2K vs BMG.
Skills:*I have no skills and I'm not funny. But I can try the humor section if I bother to sign on, and I'll definitely try my hand at URPG but don't expect me to win anything there... I was URPG Champion once, never managed to do it again :/
Referrals/Promotion:*When I was a young noob on PE2K, (the best forum ever), I saw a Pikachu transform into an Emolga and it scarred me for life. It also inspired me to find that Emolga and let it be my leader.

Thank you, you guys rock!!

Lol, loved the part about the Pikachu into Emolga. XD

Hey, try whatever sections you feel like, and even if all you do is hang out and goof off, that's fine too. No worries. Relax, welcome to the crew, and have fun! :D

It happens Neo. I happen to be in a time where my creative ability to write is kinda... not there. Which is a shame. The ideas are there, but not the motivation. I can do the RP because, I guess, I don't have to try as hard.

That, and I'm barely interacting with anyone. Trying to start getting involved, though!

As painfully hard as it is for me to admit, I actually seem to do much, much better if I mostly lone wolf in an RP and just interact a little bit here and there, but have the freedom to come and go as I please. In Team Aqua, it was a very "hey, what is it you're planning? That's cool, have fun doing it! We'll meet up later with our worked on and built up stuff and go nuts!" And I loved that, it was an easy and very free-going method that worked for everyone.

For me, it's been mainly about time. Glory be, I have so little of it and the truth is, when you're a WAR Leader, that's going to be your big focus during the entire WAR, and actual participation is going to be on the low end. I haven't been doing all that well either, so I think even in the stuff I have been participating in, I haven't really done the best job that I could do. XP

If you don't mind a request, could you have Articuno and Moltres fighting with their elemental attacks clashing in the middle and purple surrounding the blast? no particular pics to integrate I just like that idea. I used to run largely in the RP, this time I'm gonna focus mostly on writing 'cause I don't know how much time ill have to devote to the RP ill see though which one I end up doing most...

Hey Rose, how's it going!? Welcome to the crew and hope you enjoy our cookies. :D

I'll admit, I've been horribly, horribly behind on the custom banners (working fulltime and volunteering to be a WAR Leader, Team Leader, and Judge all in the same year = dead free time), but I'll see if there's something I can do. We still have one week left of WAR, so there's still a little time to get in on the action.

[Rosenstar2013]

No problemo Neo just glad to be able to jump in even if it is so late in the season. if you somehow manage to get around to the banner i shall use it proudly. If not, no biggie.

Pep talk time!

TEAM RANKINGS

Team Trainer - 48.5
Phoenix Battalion - 46
Jupiter Mining Corp. - 44.5
The Prism League - 18.5
Team Yoga Bears 2 - 16.5
Team Magma - 15
Team Awesome - 11
Team swiftgallade - 1

We're only 2.5 points behind Trainer at the moment, and given this is the LAST WEEK OF THE WAR, we can definitely still win this! I'm urging and cheering for everyone to give this one last big push to capture victory! You guys have been doing a really, REALLY awesome and epic job at everything and I love and appreciate all the great work you guys have been doing!

JMC did a heck of a job playing catch up during Week #3, and they're only 1.5 points behind us, so I definitely wouldn't underestimate them either. But, if we put on our game faces and kickass gear, we'll come out on top.

WE. CAN. ROCK. THIS!!!

Good luck to all of you in Week #4!
