PokeOcalypse - {GAME COMPLETE}

[CuddlyCaucasian]

A possible solution is for every player who can't make it to bet on a player who is participating, and they'll all make their picks last, but in the order the people they bet on placed.

It would be rather last notice though, so first we should probably figure out who all WILL be here. I'll move the challenge to tomorrow night or friday if need be.

[KingdomAces]

I don't think the problem is the elimination battles. The problem is that every other challenge the battles are determined by a social component in a game that is supposed to be not socially based at all. From my PoV, the battles are the entire point of this game, and if you want a social game then there's plenty of other ones going around. Just join one of them instead.

I mean... I took this to be a somewhat social game....

I am fine with any time today.

[Lord Mhork]

It was a very social game. Obviously.

[Mist7676]

I should be here tonight at 9 EST. Albeit, late, but still here for a large part.

[TierShift]

It was a very social game. Obviously.

Don't call me butthurt either

:/

[Lord Mhork]

I can't even pretend to understand what the purpose of that post is

[KingdomAces]

This was advertised as being in the form of Kingdom Clash, a game which had a fairly minimal social component. I guess I was just being optimistic that that was one of the things that had carried over into this one. So far they have been very similar, with the one main difference being in Kingdom Clash there were two challenges in each round. In the team rounds, the second challenge was the losing team competing in a different challenge against each other with the entire winning team being immune. I personally think that made it more enjoyable for almost everyone. (Excluding kdowns, because he got eliminated really early on from a luck/WIFOM challenge.)

Yeah, the captain picking mechanic was in the rules from the beginning, I was just being optimistic.

Can y'all stop backseat modding pl it's so gross

[KingdomAces]

But I'm backup mod. Doesn't that give me the right to backseat mod?

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Yeah, for a long time I planned to have two challenges each round, but with the Pokemon battles also needing to take place, I didn't want to bog the game down with so many events. If I run another game, I'll definitely make it much less social, and probably anonymous, so it really is more of a Pokemon-themed version of Kingdom Clash like I originally intended. But for now, this is PokeOcalypse, so rules be rules!

The problem still remains there with someone possibly being able to coast through the game after getting strong Pokemon early on, but I'm considering having somewhat of a different mechanic, where throughout the game, everyone's Pokemon remain secret (especially if it's an anonymous game) and each round, one challenge determines what Pokemon are won, and the second one decides elimination, basically a lot more similar to Kingdom Clash. Pokemon selection I'm not sure about though, some ideas I've had are the first person to pick is shown a random 3-5 of the Pokemon available, and gets to choose one, then another Pokemon is added to that group and 2nd place player chooses, and so on. That would just take a long time and require a lot of time for drafting, unless maybe I have it like it is now, but each player receives a random Pokemon of the top 3-5 Pokemon on their list remaining.

[TheBadOne]

Oh, this is a social game? Good to know. Haven't talked with anyone about the game yet.

I am in the same boat TBO. ALliance? ;D

[TheBadOne]

Sure!

You

Well to be fair me and luck based challenges never really got along

{ROUND 12}

For your next challenge, to avoid falling through the ice, all players will be answering trivia questions as quickly as they can, while being able to utilize outside resources fully. For every 10 minutes starting at

9:15 EST

, a trivia question will be posted, and the last player to PM a correct answer to that question to me falls through the ice. If a player answers incorrectly, he may try again, but the time the correct answer is sent in is the one that counts. If multiple guesses are given in one PM, only the first one listed will be recognized.

If more than one player hasn't submitted a correct answer after 10 minutes, one of them will be eliminated randomly.

Pokemon distribution will occur in order of who lasted in the challenge the longest, and the

last player remaining

will be safe from elimination in Round 13. That's right, this is a

non-elimination round!

[orcinus_theoriginal]

Also, 'only threat', lol.

how many contenders for the crown do you think there are?

i count 4

[CuddlyCaucasian]

{QUESTION 1}

In

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team

, how many floors does the dungeon "Desert Region" contain?

[Axxle]

Between zero and thirty-six thousand, nine-hundred and fifty three.

[KingdomAces]

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. The only game where it's in a monotype's best interest to use all STAB moves so they have as much PP as possible.

Also, I don't think there's any breeding or TM's in that game either, so you're kind of stuck with them anyway. I haven't played one in forever though.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

TheBadOne has been eliminated.

{QUESTION 2}

Which of the following moves can Marill NOT learn through level up in Generation VI: Water Gun, Rollout, Double-Edge, Aqua Tail, or Body Slam?

[kdowns]

Aqua Tail

[Shiidaji]

is orc competing, or on deck? jcurious
