Default ASM Nightblade: Shadow of Death (Concluded)

ASM Nightblade: Shadow of Death

"For those who clash with the Shadow of Death"
"Shall ultimately sarcrifice their final breath."

Alright, the sign-up/general thread for ASM G0. This is a beta game, so I expect some things to go wrong, and did alter certain aspects to work, well, like a beta. This will also be an example of a general thread where I lay out mechanics and whatnot that apply to the game, and make a few general clarifications and/or announcements.

So, onto game details:

ASM Nightblade: Shadow of Death
Game size: Class zero (10 participants, less than a city)
Location: New Moon Isle
Cover Legend: Darkrai
Host: Rediamond
Synopsis:
In the streets of Slateport a deal is made
Amidst the towers of Jubilife a message is intercepted
Hiding on a secret island a mastermind plans the crime of the century
And on a cruise ship in the middle of an ocean an epic struggle is about to unfold...

The story of the Nightblade revivals are normally said to begin with the Mossdeep incident of 2020. However, new evdience has come to light that challenges this view. When the SS Libra was captured at the start of the Second Shadow Incident, most of the passengers either died in the crash landing or drowned before hand. Those who survived swore never to discuss the events of the ship's final voyage. However, a journal was recently found in shipwreck that sheds new light on a certain incident on the final voyage of the liner that could drastically alter our understanding of the Nightblade incidents.

List of clarifications, mechanics, and other changes:

1) Wild Battle Clarification: On routes, a wild battle must be fought with even numbers in order for the Pokemon to be captured. In dungeons this restriction does not exist. Additionally, wild Pokemon have two stats I forgot to mention: intelligence and aggressiveness. Intelligence affects how a Pokemon orders while aggressiveness affects fleeing rate and lethality rate.

Intelligence is measured on a scale of one to five. Class one intelligence Pokemon use a random move from their movepool. Class two RNG the most effective move(s) in their arsenal and one non-attacking option determined by the ref. Class Three give soft orders, but always order first. Class four give soft orders, alternating between first and second. Class five always order second.

Aggressiveness is also measured on a scale of one to ten. In a wild battle, the trainer will always have the option of fleeing (at least on routes). The chance of success is determined by the Pokemon's aggressiveness. If a flight command fails, the Pokemon attempting to be fled from will gain a free round of non-attacking moves the first time, and free turns to do whatever it wants to do on subsequent failed attempts.

2) Boss clarification: There are two types of bosses; minor and major. Minor bosses are simply more powerful Pokemon that gaurd a certain area, and will have an expanded movepool compared to a wild Pokemon and higher stats. Additionally, they have a catch rate of 25 and the pressure of the fight means any given trainer can only have one Pokemon out at a time against it.

Major bosses are much harder; legendary Pokemon and the gaurdians of very key areas. They have very high HP, boosted stats, unlimited energy, and a boost to aggressiveness and intelligence stats. Non-legendary bosses have a catch rate of 15 and legendary bosses retain a catch rate of 7.

Bosses are immune to the effects of, but can use, Perish Song.

3) Rewards: I hadn't clarified these. Let me do so now. Every week period, GM evaluation in five subjects will reward a player with between five and fifty General Counters for their time. The real reward will be wild Pokemon. Wild Pokemon will be caught with movepool unaltered for realism/ease of approving purposes. They can be sent out of the game at any time via PC, letting the Pokemon as it was at the end of the game out into the main ASB usage pool. However, it will no longer be usable in that ASM game. The exception to this is legendaries, who can not be removed.

Additionally, should the player survive the game any wild Pokemon they caught in the game and survived will leave with them.

Pokemon brought in do not recieve rewards that apply outside of the game due to the point discussed in #4.

Finally, a "Prize Claim" Dialogue can be made with the GM assigned to you at the end of a day unit where rewards for the day are claimed and factored into the ASM acting profile that will be kept in the GM group.

4) ASM overrides standard RP restrictions. Pokemon in ASM can be used in the Subway, Hall, standard battles, Raids, TLR, and the Berry farm. This compensates for the absurd time commitment.

5) Trainer Class changes and clarifications: I am here to clarify the "in certain situations can predict moves" clause in the Vet and Ace Trainer Profiles.

Soft orders given by Wild Pokemon, except for substitutions, can be read by an Ace Trainer. This, and one substitution, can be read by Veterans. Ace Trainers can read the first action of a Psychic's soft orders, and Veterans can read the full order set. None can detect substitutions.

Additionally, Psychics with Psychic types will not always order second, but alternate moving first and second against an Ace Trainer, Veteran, or Major NPC due to their reflexes and patience in battle that allows them to outstall psychics if needed. This is made up for by Ace Trainers being unable to read the soft orders at all, and Vets only getting the first action.

6) Forum Days: These occur on days where the players are confined to a small area. While they may explore their surroundings, the primary action will be on iRC and interactions among players to try and make alliances and determine factions. These days are shorter than exploration days (normally a locked real life time period instead of an action time period, like 4 days instead of six hours of action time). They will also have a built in night period for less noble actions.

7) Night periods: A user may sacrifice an hour and a half out of the day to gain an hour of action at night.

8) Game Leader: A user who has a leadership role amongst an entire group, regardless of faction. These will not occur very often (or at all outside of class zero games), but will serve the purpose of keeping a team together. Dissent against them and splintering could be a major element of games with a Game Leader.

9) GM's picked the list of participants. Get over it. Also, all participants may bring in six Pokemon and a held item for each for no TC cost.

10) Starting supplies: The usual. 5 potions, 2000 currency, a full heal, and five Pokeballs in addition to whatever else your Trainer Class gets you.


With that out of the way, here are our participants:
Game Host: Rediamond (Hosts are also GM's)

ASM profile (my name is Bob)
ASB profile (I have 21 22 pokemon)

And the six I am bringing are:

Facilier the Honchkrow


Frollo the Medicham


Jafar the Gliscor


Captain Hook the Arghonaut


Cruella de Vil the Roserade


Scar the Tomohawk


Frollo the Medicham holds an Expert Belt. Jafar the Gliscor holds a Toxic Orb. Everyone else is empty-handed. Also, do not worry about Dispel in Frollo the Medicham and Scar the Tomohawk's movepools. That is a raid-specific command that, afaik, cannot be used outside of raids.

EDIT: Timezone = GMT.

I contribute 25+ pokemon to the social group and I don't get in! I don't think half of the players who got in even contributed in the social group. What is this?!?!?!?

You contributed to Mossdeep. All work done exclusively for this beta (not Mossdeep) was done by the GameMasters. Rest assured you have a solid chance for Mossdeep, but the people who did the compilation that made this game possible beyond what was done for Mossdeep (GM's) decided upon this list.

Mossdeep work =/= Shadow of Death work.

EDIT: I do not possess the ability to delete things in the compilation group. Only Tort does. I have checked my records and he did not delete anything.

Okay then. Looking forward to it. gl everyone.


Name: Athenodoros
Trainer Class: Veteran
Hometown: Pumello Island

Personality: Athenodoros grew up in the small Pumello Island, a long time ago: before tourists started to flock there for the finals of the Orange League. At that time, Pokemon training was different, as he is fond of reminging everyone now: a trainer couldn't go to the nearest genius and ask for their first Pokemon and it wasn't something that everyone did automatically at the age of 10. In fact, Athenodoros never planned to become a trainer, until one fateful day when he was down at the water and he was ambushed by a Kingler. It looked bad, when suddenly a young Lapras, lost and brought to the shore, jumped out and saved him, although it was badly hurt in the process. From then, Athenodoros nursed Lapras back to health and they have been inseperable every since. After he brought Lapras back to full health, Athenodoros then travelled the world, collecting badges and expanding his team, before eventually he settled back down to Pumello Island with his Lapras, ready for a quiet life back home. Now, however, he has been pulled out of this psuedo-retirement by the oncoming conflict, and is ready to bring all of his many years of experience fighting with Typhon the Lapras to the table.

Despite his age, however, Athenodoros still bears the hallmarks of one of the great trainers of his or any other generation: a keenness of mind that held him in good stead against trainers of his day has not deserted him in his old age, and he has kept his training up in solitude on the island. Aside from this, Athenodoros is easygoing, friendly and dryly good-humoured, with a witty remark or sage piece of advice for any occasion. He is eternally optimistic and generous, but after a long life he is wary of new people and has been known to be quite suspicious. Nonetheless, he generally gets on well with new people, and leaves a good impression.

I can confirm that I have not deleted anything.

And yes-Metal Bagon, you will probably get into Mossdeep. We chose the players for game 0 based on whether we thought they were good at roleplaying, battling, mafia, and their originality (hence why Temperantia got in)/creativity-you simply ended up being less capable in several of those areas.

Sorry. That was all a big misundeerstanding in which I overreacted. I'm sure it wasn't Rediamonds fault that my stuff got deleted and I'll go and re-do it now after I finish all of my reffingh (just hope that ragnarokalex doesn't send in his actions for his 8v8 brawl (lol)). Again I'm sorry for overreacting and I hope that we're all sweet now.

DAY ONE HAS CONCLUDED

Alright, with that out of the way, I think it's time to note rewards and other such items. For refs, this is one UC for every three updates. I'm sorry, but almost every update across the board was pretty bad, leading me to pay no more than this and reconsider the entire system. As for participants, you were graded on a scale of 1-3 in five categories, and given the sum of those ranks in TC. Originally this was going to be in BP, but compilation happened, and yeah...

Also, I forgot that refs get paid the amount as standard battles, ignoring the RP clause for the bonus counter as I actually expect flavor with the round. As in, good epic flavor. For future days, battling will be worth more in rewards for refs as I will begin to enforce (upon myself) a fairly substantial amount of flavor to match the rest of the RP elements.

But enough of that, onto the rewards:
Game hosts:
Rediamond: 32UC
Gamemasters:
Blaziken-master Zeo:2 UC
Smashlloyd20: 12 UC
Tortferngatr: 1UC
Participants:
Flamestrike: 10 TC
Athenodoros: 12TC
Objection: 9TC
Temperatia: 12 TC
iiMKUltra: 7 TC
Dogfish44: 11 TC
Danmantincan: 12 TC
Engineer: 10 TC
LightWolf: 13 TC


In the meantime, I'm working out policy changes and the like, so day two will not begin for another few days.

As for what I have:
I am assuming sole responsibility for reffing ASM.
This keeps everything up to my (soon to be dramatically increasing) standards.

The day system is being overhauled.
The entire idea of a real time labyrinth outside of a dungeon didn't work out well. In the future I will be replacing it with a new system. The game will become more of a story with periodic parts where the players may jump in and alter the flow. It will become less of a continuous chain of choices. This is for my sanity, and the fact that a longer period of time will encourage far longer updates.

The current plan is this: a day will be made up of five rounds, representing an hour. At the start of a round, a player may PM me their plans for the next hour or so, preferably with two to three items on the list. Some things (dungeons and battling) will be handled differnetly, but an example would be:

Day Two Round One:

yada yada yada yada flavor text

Go to the main hall and the store, observe people around and possibly talk to spectators about any wild Pokemon they've seen at sea. Additonally, retrieve my Pokemon from the center and purchase a revive from the store.

Once all orders were in, I would use the personality I garnered in round one and your registration post to put together a story of how the round would work, trying to keep every update at around five hundred to a thousand words to convey any possible detail. For those who just want to read the tl;dr, I'll include a one paragraph summary at the bottom of the update. At this point, I will close the round for a one day intermission to encourage players to talk, scheme, and conspire. This is still Mafia. The RP-phase isn't meant to be the entire game.

Battling will be handled upon the basis that for every Pokemon on a side, the match will take fifteen minutes. Thus, a four versus four singles/doubles/triples match would count as an hour long period. If you're battling, I would ask that you observe a 36-hour DQ that I will keep strictly. I don't need to be backlogged horribly just because of battles.

Dungeons work on the basis that most dungeons will take a full day to go through. However, as many often have significant length, I will keep a 48 hour DQ on those.

As far as normal orders go, I will probably keep a 60 hour DQ from the round opening in order to keep things moving decently quickly, although the 24-hour break should give plenty of time to scheme.


Also, I repeat This is still in the same vein as Mafia. It is okay and encouraged to use and abuse the chatroom, #G0 (If you aren't playing stay away), and Smogon PM, as well as the social group. The relative freedom of picking allies and factions to an extent was meant to be for the purposes of small teams (2-3) developing over everyone riding solo. If it actually worked close to teams, it would be easier on my part (less to keep track of) and easier on your part (harder to kill three people than two), so I highly encourage you to use iRC and Smogon to your advantage in forming up sub-groups and working together towards the mostly similar goals of the "village" of the game. Taking down the Mafia, who have their own objectives as well.

That is all, expect the new round based-system to begin... after I get done with a lot of iRL stuff in the next week.

And to all of those out there waiting for Mossdeep, I regret to say that G0 will be taking a while, but should hammer out most of the bugs in the system for public release with Mossdeep.

I'm noting that I wasn't mentioned at all in TC rewards, and seeing as I did several things during the Day, I'm fairly certain that I should be mentioned...

Fixed, thanks.

User danmantincan has been disqualified for violating DQ on two rounds of a single day. I will be substituting someone in at the start of Day Three. I will have a better process in the future, but since G0 is mostly a game of strength I will have a fairly simple criteria.


You may sign-up to take Dan's spot here. Post the six Pokemon you wish to bring, and I will admit the player who I fell is the most powerful. Part of this will be objective: items, BRT, move count. Part will be subjective; skill as a player, RP experience, and the degree the Pokemon are suited for taking part in the challenge.

If you have won or reffed an ASM promotion, and do not have some sort of special condition applying, you may say so and claim automatic entrance to G0 but forfeit auto-entrance to Mossdeep.

E: If I asked you to play at the start, you may also claim entrance here.

Day Two has concluded. As such, Kaxtar is being swapped in for Danmantincan.

As for the rest of you, in-game prize claim will be out soon.

In the meantime, here's the inter-day changes:

I have redone the boss system. There are now four levels -Minor, Major, Legendary, Origin- of which, only the first three appear in the game. Minor will have the same intel and agressiveness as a normal member of the species, boosted stats, 250 energy, 18 energy restoration from chills, and 2.5 times the cartridge HP with a minimum of 125.

Major bosses have boosted stats including intel and agressiveness, 500 energy, 24 energy restoration from chills, and 5 times the cartridge HP with a minimum of 250.

Legendary bosses have boosted stats, normal intel and agressiveness for the species, 30 energy restoration from chills, 750 energy, and 7.5 times the cartridge HP with a minimum of 375. They will also have some trait going for them, although it will usually be fairly minor or improbable (10-20% trigger chance). For instance, Mesperit may have a longer Taunt and Torment as the being of emotion.

Origin bosses are the equivalent of gods. They have 1000 energy, boosted stats, 50 energy restoration from chills, maximum intel and agressiveness including the ability to order after psychics, 10 times cartridge HP, and usually some sort of other ability that will significantly affect the flow of battle. For instance, Palkia can alter the arena so it can use any type of move while opponent's can not use any move they can not create on thier own.

This is to make, say, Mewtwo harder than Phione in a very significant degree. It actually makes minor bosses easier, decreasing the difficulty level of dungeons. Major bosses were unchanged, and thus dungeons should theoretically be made easier by this. Except for legendary ones, which just got significantly harder.


Outside of that codification, Night Actions will be different. A player may choose to sacrifice any action of the day to gain a round during the night. In order to trigger this, simply include Rest -gain night actions in your PM.

Lastly, a Pokemon may be exported from the PC if it is in the PC at the end of a day during the prize claim. Players who currently have a Pokemon in the Pokemon Center or PC system will recieve the option to export it with the Day Two Prize Claim.


And now onto payment. Compared to yesterday's relative lack of battling, day two was filled with it. For a recap, the following battles occured today:

3 vs 3 triples
1 vs 1 singles (2)
Single Player Minor Boss Battle
4 vs 4 triples
3 vs 3 singles
3 vs 2 player confrontation

So if some pay seems quite high, it would be due to seven battles occuring, some of which were rather large.

Alright, day two prize claim results of importance:

Objection may claim an untrained Female Feebas and an untrained Porygon in the Prize Claiming Thread by exporting them from the game. This is all.

Woah. A lot of battles, some drama, and quite a bit of exploration best summarizes the events following the major plot device at the start of day one. This game is shaping up to be extremely interesting, with a notable progression towards an uncertain future. Will it end in destruction for all? A single faction prevailing? Only time will tell...


Myself: 70 UC

Athenodoros: 11 UC
Dogfish44: 13 UC
Engineer Pikachu: 10 UC
Flamestrike: 12 UC
Kaxtar: 13 UC
LightWolf: 11 UC
MK Ultra: 9 UC
Objection: 12 UC
Temperantia: 11 UC
Terrador: 9 UC



Expect ingame prize claims later. I decided to switch to UC to make up for the plethora of counters that don't apply out of the game.

Terrador has been subbed out.

I will pick a substitute on a totally subjective basis, so feel free to apply even if your team isn't the best.
