Well let's just get final confirmation. @Neo Emolga what's the final result?

I just need a little time to catch up with everything. Plus I have grading to do. XP

This is definitely under my radar and I'll try to address stuff when I can.

Okay, after reading everything...

Welp.

I'll admit, I kind of rushed to make the schedule. It wasn't actually a part of the original plan and I think as a result, I probably didn't think things through entirely. Usually I give these things 24 hours to think over and as you saw with the whole RP's creation, I've done, redone, modified, and changed stuff constantly, so this is another one of "those things." So... I think I need to whip out my "oops" stamp for this and give it a nice big press.

Ordinarily, running from the Elimination Round wouldn't qualify you for the Final Round. Otherwise, hey, everyone run at the match start and you're good for the final! Yeah, it doesn't quite work. But what also doesn't work is how in a Final Round, you'd only have the surviving remnants of the earlier rounds fighting. It would be like a two on three battle, if even. Not really that exciting. Let's just say the Pokémon of Xia want huge battles and LOTS of carnage.

So on that note, I think things need to be changed...

END VERDICT

• I'm doing away with Elimination/Final rounds. All Rounds are the same. If your team (or if you're by yourself) is the last team standing, you get a victory point. Team with the most victory points and the end of the Festival wins the whole thing and tons of loot while runner ups win some cash prizes and stuff like that. Even a single victory point for the whole Festival will net you pretty decent prizes considering how many sponsors are involved. That way, if you're an independent and you just happen to win a particular round and get that one victory point, you'd actually get prizes out of that. That's where the motivation would be. A poor independent competitor just has to win a single round and they would get money out of that which could set them for life and get them out of the slums. They wouldn't care if they didn't win the top grand prizes. With Final Rounds, hurr hurr, heck no. It's just raw suicide for every independent competitor, so this would realistically make WAY more sense.
• Running from the stadium disqualifies you and you won't get any victory points, but you survive. You could just join the next round for another shot. It would make sense for a Pokémon that's in a rough situation to just bail and disqualify themselves, such as in Laura's case where her ally is badly wounded or in Dread Metal if someone's vehicle is in really bad shape. You could come back tomorrow with another car or teammate and try again.

Let me know what you guys think, I'm definitely open for discussing this a little further if you think it's needed.

OTHER NOTES

I know things have been moving along really slowly. I apologize for how sluggish it's been, but holy frick nuggets, I've been super busy lately and I just can't reply every day, unfortunately. Else I'd have to give up everything else I'm involved in for PXFIRE. Ouch. But overall, I'm extremely impressed and happy with how you guys are RPing, interacting, and doing stuff.

Points be darned, you're all doing a great job.

I think the only problem with the speed is we're still on Day 1 and it seems like we're not going to touch so many of the other events until long after PXFIRE is done. I'm open to suggestions such as cutting back on how long the Festival actually lasts so some of the other events can be experienced. It's entirely up to you and changing the schedule would honestly be pretty easy if that's something you guys would like to do. But if you guys have other neat ideas in mind, hey, I'm listening.

[LKWayvern]

I think we might be able to trim down how many rounds there are going to be in the competition. If everyone stated which characters they wanted to have in which games, and in which rounds, we'd be able to know which events we can simply gloss over or even remove entirely.
Like, if there's only 3 people going into Field of Screams, we don't need three rounds of it, and can either focus on subplots for a few days, or remove excess entirely and bump up other events. And if no one wants to do a certain event, like I said, we can either focus on subplots or say everyone took a day to rest and recover from intense fighting and timeskip to the next day.

The only competition I was going to have Laura definitely participate in was Bloodpit. I don't think she'll be going for another round. I've also been considering having her in Field of Screams, but that's not a definite yet. Those were the only two.

Yeah, I think we might need to do this, because I even wanted to have plot developments going on outside of the festival and I haven't been able to really work on those. Plus, looking at the current schedule, it's going to be more of the same stuff for the next few days.

How would you guys feel about something like this instead?



It cuts the time in half and we'd would definitely see more of the other events much sooner.

[LKWayvern]

I'm alright with that, definitely. Anyone have any objections?

[Noblejanobii]

Looks good to me. Someone's gonna have to drag Athena out of the Blood Pit Arena though. She can and will go back in the second round by herself if she has to.

[Death's Spook]

@Noblejanobii I'm pretty sure either The Grand Lady or Phoebe would be happy to oblige that request. It may involve more bags than Athena would like, though.

So long as Athena takes no injuries to her lower abdomen and she doesn't die that's fine. But Athena is going to rip Phoebe to shreds to get the information she wants if she has her say.

EDIT: I mean, if you want you can injure her lower abdomen, but keep in mind you should only do so if you want an already bloodthirsty mother coming after you. There's a reason she has much more armor there than anywhere else on her body and I'll tell you now it's not because of mobility.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Now who says you're gonna lose this one? I don't think Spook is dominating... Too hard.

That said, I see what you did there all of a sudden... OK, I don't think Athena is going to be leaving the arena without Pheobe's head at this rate. Anyone that mad to begin with is not to be crossed without serious considerations.

As for the schedule: Yes, that makes a lot more sense. A week instead of two plus-that is way less crazy (though it does give me less time for my own RP, but I think I can work with that), and it also means we have to use less NPCs due to the rampant NPC death going on.
