Yeah I've been unsure what to say. My bad ? This whole rival thing is... strange. I find it odd that Irish and Sunflower would be rivals with randoms rather than each other, especially when said randoms are unaware of said rivalry. I kind of want to test it out, but with only 7 people, it might be too big of a distraction. Hmm... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Category 5 Hurricane Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 This is the one day this week where I'll actually be home for hammer and I've got my currently most well rounded Pokemon set as my Main, so I'm in as good of a position to fight as I could hope for right now. I seem to recall that there is some penalty for being voted rocket, though, is that right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Category 5 Hurricane Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 If you don't mention you have a rival now, there is no reason for anyone to believe you if you claim it later. So effectively you lose the ability to claim it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but that's lying about having a rival. If someone actually does have a rival, I still think their best course of action is to keep it under the rug. I suspect we have more people who have rival claims who just aren't going to speak up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade939 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 We do have an odd number of players, so this Rival thing is going to be limited by that to start with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 If people have rivals and they don't speak up about it, they will probably eventually be caught doing something that looks suspicious and needs an explanation, and that explanation would be that they are rivals with their target. Which is why such a thing could be used as a cover and I want to stop this scenario from occurring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to accept that some, but not all people have a rival. I'm even willing to wager it's a low number, for game balance. However, I find it incredibly unlikely that the only two people with a rivalry just decide to spill the beans on it right up front. We're missing something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Category 5 Hurricane Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 For an example of my own argument, back before this claim of rivals started, I thought TheIrishman looked pretty suspicious for trying to get himself into a battle with a guy who was actively complaining about how his Pokemon wouldn't do well in battle. Now that he has this rival claim, his actions make some sense and gets him a pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also think some scum would have rivals, and I don't think Sunflower is scum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 That's fine, but I'm trying to prevent scum from fabricating a rival claim when they get cornered on something. I need to ask, why are you defending the idea of not saying who your rivals are? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
