Plotting Meme: October

[these_balls]

PLOT DISCUSSION

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is for general, game-wide or location-wide plots, larger-scale player plots, and general plotting ideas. This is not a CR meme.
→ The idea of this post is to help generate discussion, inspire, or plot out overall plots, as well as bounce ideas off of your fellow players and moderators. We will also be letting everyone know the overall ideas of what we'll have coming up, and you can give us input on those as well!
→ Please play nice while discussing things! Remember, it's okay to disagree, but be polite!

MOD PLOTS:
→ A special swarm will begin on the 23rd of October and last until the 28th. More information will be given out soon!
→ The mods are holding a tournament in November. The timeline is currently unknown (it depends on how many participants we have) but we anticipate it going for a good chunk of November!

I think I saw the word nerds

and I went yes plz

UNFORTUNATELY Hope's not a bio guy but he does make extensive notes of stuff he goes through this place. He's also got an archaeology bent so if you want someone with a lot of info on the Ruins of Alph he's your man.

Also. Engineering.

Up above, we're talking about some kind of communal file where researchers could pool their findings. If everyone could throw together their knowledge, something could be done with it.

And yes, Reid might try dragging in Hope for the FMRI thing. Reid remembers the mechanical diagrams he's looked at over the years and he has a PhD in engineering, but he hasn't really tried making a machine like this. He could pull it off on his own, but it would go a hell of a lot faster (and probably a with a hell of a lot less frostbite and electrocution) if he had someone with experience on board.

I'm currently thinking of something along the lines of Wikipedia or some such where people could post and edit whenever they feel like it. Though with the limited network the PokéGears it may need to be something simple. I was thinking of a possible private server but for both of those someone would need to maintain it all and such, and that someone would need a good deal of knowledge about software. Hope can certainly do that but is there anyone else? Also idk maybe a filter just for the nerds to spare other people from the immense nerdery that's sure to happen.

For the fMRI... well that'd be a little tougher considering the materials needed and such. He could do it, yes, but he'll definitely need a lot of time and help with it.

Just passing through to observe that Carmen canonically does computers like a wizard (and her Porygon does, too) so if you don't get any more bites, I can always put them up for the cause. o/

Or I mean, heck, as far as maintenance goes, someone could always just catch a Porygon and train it to do nothing but administrative nerd computer duties. All things considered that'd probably work, too.

Ohohoho yes plz. I think Hope would love having Zack around (but yes plz to Carmen too) because he's cute as all hell.

Reid can do hardware, but everything but the most basic of software (and what little he's picked up from Garcia) is totally lost on him. Someone else would probably need to deal with that.

Luckily, Reid has ideas of using Pokemon to their advantage. At the very least, they can make magnets as powerful as they need to be using a high-level electric-type and a high-level ice-type. And steel- and fighting-types (and cannibalized computer parts) should be able to help out with the actual construction.

[eagletalons]

Hope can definitely do it because he's handled all sorts of operations and projects at home though it'd really be best if there were more to keep characters from burning out or muns from forgetting (which is the worst thing especially with this 8[!!) hence my question.

I got three of those types covered, though they're not high-leveled yet. Almost there though, and Hope has a level 100 Blastoise anyway for the heavy lifting.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Well, Carmen could help out. She'd probably like Reid to owe her another favor anyway if for no other reason.

He might need to get a smaller heavy-lifter, since this project is probably going to be done inside. Which types do you have?

[eagletalons]

I'll go poke Carmen-mun later if no one else bites.

He has a fighting-and-later-on-steel-- though that's just a newly-born Riolu-- and an electric, his Luxio.
