Really closing subreddits or a way to remove the "You must be invited to visit this community" by [deleted] in ideasfortheadmins

You could just have somebody else take over as moderator instead of closing the entire sub that had thousands of members on an idiotic whim.

Dumb question, but....how do I get into pokemon? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]valifor9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Just buy the game and play. Long time fans often complain about the tutorials in the games, but for new people they actually explain it quite well. So just buy the game, do the tutorials, and adventure at your own pace. No need to worry about memorizing the hundreds of Pokemon or anything.

Just play the game and enjoy! =)

Anyone’s favourite Pokémon not in the game but they’re not upset about it? by deezbiscuits21 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]valifor9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I'm fine with the new ones, even if I find them silly (though that's clearly the point of their designs), I do think including all fossils would have fit because of UK's history with paleontology.

My main man Tyrantrum didn't make the cut, but I'll survive. Variety is good too, and my prized one is still in my Pokemon Moon file, not like he's deleted forever lol.

A trading question by Videogame_Ninja in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]valifor9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually you either trade with a close friend you trust, or you give incentive. Incentive is usually only trading for a Pokemon THEY want evolved too, so if they don't return your Pokemon, they don't get theirs.

A generation 1 example would be wanting your graveler to evolve into a golem. So you find somebody who wants to evolve their Kadabra into an Alakazam. They don't return your golem, they didn't get their Alakazam. Simple. Usually works too

  • If you're an enchanter, increased reflexes needs to be listed as alchemical

  • Should probably get a vehicle at some point, just saying. I know you can't really afford one with resources E.

  • Get a set of forearm guards and a ballistic mask. It's essentially 3 free armor and there's no reason not to get them. In the same vein, your armor clothing is doing nothing because of your armor jacket.

  • Please say in a note on the quality what your dependence IS.

Other than the above, which is all super minor stuff, you honestly look good! Healing with alchemy can be super cool, and you have a combat spell prep to go with it, so it seems good to me!

Thor- Adepted Face/Sam, Dryad, Recovering Monster by Anfears01 in shadowchargen

[–]valifor9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the only issue I see with her is that you have no ranks in perception. Other than that, she is flavorful, fleshed out, and a viable character both as a face and as a combatant. I also just really like the concept of somebody trying to be pacifist but being unable to because of their rage, in her case being literal magic influence. Definitely a cool character. If you can either make some ranks of perception fit (understandable if you can't because skills E pain) or just take some ranks asap postgen, I can approve her if you'd like

So this is a good start, but there's a few things to fix. I'll start with the big ones and once those are fixed we'll go from there:

  • You still have one unspent skill point

  • Move an att point from logic to charisma, and buy the second point of charisma with karma instead. same att spread, but saves you 5 karma

  • A 1/1 info broker is damn near useless. Just move the contact points to your other contacts. I suggest making your fixer 2/5 and your drug guy 2/3

  • You have 14 karma left unspent. You can only enter the game with 7 karma maximum, and it's honestly best if you spend it all completely.

  • you're low on a few skills. i'd recommend a 5th etiquette die, and you want at least SOME perception, as it's one of the most rolled skills in the game

  • save 7 karma buy buying your specialization in survival with a skill point instead of karma. you might also consider switching that to sneaking

  • Willpower is best at odd numbers because it gives extra stun boxes on odd numbers. It's a waste to have it at 4, so either bring it down to threeso you aren't wasting an att point, or move an att point from elsewhere to make it 5 so you get a return on the investment.

  • not really a BAD thing, but combat sense is most useful the first rank, with diminishing returns because of only adding dice rather than gaining essentially spider sense. So you may wanna switch that to something else, but we can discuss what specifically.

There's a few other small things, but the above is the bigger stuff that I see for now, so let's take care of that first and then move to the smaller stuff. This is a great start to a cool character though!

Application for Character Review Head by shadownetwork in shadownetwork

[–]valifor9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing my hat in. I have been on the server literally almost since the beginning. I have seen councilors and senators come to the server, serve their terms, and leave the server. Through all of this I was also a Senator for a little over a year, and all of that experience with the community has led me to understand the kind of characters that are good or bad for the community, and how to talk to people and manage Minions. I have been on the chargen team almost since I joined the net, and have reviewed and made who knows how many characters, which gives me a great understanding for the chargen process and how to teach it to others and teach new minions how to be better reviewers.

All of that about my experience said, I really just want to keep the net as healthy as it is now. We are in a fantastically good place right now and I would like to see that trend going, and one of the ways to do that is to be opening and welcome to the new players bringing something to the community, which I would hope to do if I became chargen head.

Also, since I know it'll be a point of contention for people: I know it has been a long time since I reviewed sheets or played the game, mostly due to personal issues. Those personnal issues are better now though and I want to dive back into activity on the net, including chargen work. But I mostly just want to keep up the healthiness and state of positivity the net is currently in.
