Mew is cool. And I'm not a Pokenerd like some people...

"Make it obvious you aren't them"? That removes most of the appeal.

Alright. Twice as many as expected.

1262
For me, the appeal of a Mew is "it's Mew!"

It only has those limitations in-game because there's nothing else to transform into, really. Pretty sure that supplementary material has Ditto Transforming into non-Pokemon.

Are you saying we should give them move lists?

Cool.

1264
((Dat Mew be kinda useless without TMs. Or Pokemon to transform into.))
Not true. It has quite a few moves aside from that. Besides, if we wanted TMs or HMs, couldn't we ask IRIS for them?
And Transform can only be used on Pokemon?
Finally, do we need to define our Pokemons' movesets?

Ba-d. Okay, so basically the conclusion of this argument is that A)Ps is atomlike to some degree, but precisely how much is a matter beyond the expertise of even bay12, B)atomic nature is not sufficient to determine classification as an element, and C) aspects like proton number and valence electron designations are necessary for classification as an element.

Does that sum it up?
Essentially.

In. Crap, too late. Well, I tried...
You still interested in being in?
Yes, why?

At least it's better than getting everyone excited and then giving up on the game because each turn takes hours to run.
Not really. If each turn takes hours to run, that's a good enough reason for me.
Folks like you make self-deprecation tough, you know?

The approved pokemon are airdropped to their people.
Whoo!
Say, is Elf willing to approve of Will's Mew?

"Don't worry Alice, Will has given us the details, once people are done drooling all over their pokemons, I'll call to the situation room, hopefully get Will on the phone too, then we can form a plan. I'll put you somewhere where you can help."
<A, the plural of pokemon is "pokemon," just like all Japanese nouns. B, phones can be traced or recorded easily. Bad idea.>

Bac. I'm not going to say that it definitely is, because I'm not going to pretend I understand positronium enough to decide. Leave that to the people studying subatomic particles and their interactions.
Bb. I have what data I care about. Wikipedia tends to be essentially correct, and since I'm stopping my conclusions before the point that lacking the expert knowledge would come into play...

1270
((That was on his shoulder? And it wasn't half demon, just a few percent.))
2. That's...unhelpful.
((Well, the info Will has would be useful for you to tell me, so Will can tell the others, so they'll have foreknowledge, which is kind of an important bit of Will's mission.))

((In other news, I was thinking of having Angel's birthday come up. Should I wait until after the Order tries to bomb Hell and instead bombs the Vatican?))

1271
Whoo!

This is the part where I recommend using Google Drive.

1272
Can we still do that anyway?

Ba. Except that you're saying they're similar to atoms. You might be able to argue they should count as those, but the methods of classifying elements rely on bits that positronium doesn't have. Why classify it as an element, then?
Incidentally, the way you phrased that made me think of Ceres.
Bb. If has, what, two I think? The Wikipedia article didn't go too in-depth. And I doubt that the "electron states" are much like those of a conventional atom...and all the other bits apply to unbound electrons, quarks, and other clearly non-elemental thingies.
Bc. I know what it was in response to. And if you'll pay attention, I was arguing against positronium being an element. It acts enough like an atom that I'm willing to leave that decision up to trained quantum physicists.

<You're forgetting that I don't know what half of these things you're mentioning are...>
<You've been here how long and no one's even tried to explain the Internet to you?>
<Nobody has, no.>
<...Damn it, guys, do I have to do everything around here?>

((Shoulder?))
2. (Also, how do they work?)
4. ...Why are they airdropping it?
6. Of course he was. He's not the type to go on random flirtations. Sure, he's polite, if she keeps bugging him maybe they go out for dinner, but if she tries to go further he plays the religious-fanatic card by stating that he's waiting for marriage and subtly implying that she's a slut. (He'd drop the subtlety if he wasn't so polite to people he doesn't know well.)
((Shoulder. Because that's where his fire seal is.))
2. Say Words, get power.
4. Bomb. Better explosion. easier than pushing it into the portal. Because Plot.
6. Said woman also happens to not care for religion. Also has her own set goals.
((Which seal are we talking about?))
2. ...From where?
4. It's easier to put it into an airplane, fly it over the point, drop it accurately so its horizontal velocity and vertical acceleration bring it to exactly the right, point, and let it go than to just get a truck/elevator to drive it up? (Can't argue with "plot".)
6. Doesn't matter if she is, if she tries to sleep with Will after he says he doesn't want to--regardless of reasoning--that's rape. (And care to dish more details that Will's intuition would figure out? Maybe RP something relevant?)

Aa. Well, let's hope we can avoid that kind of mistake in the future. It's not pleasant for anyone.
Ab. Yeah, let's try to avoid that too.
Ba. Well, all conventional atoms are elements, but that doesn't mean that all particles which act kinda like atoms are elements. That's like saying that since all aquatic creatures you know of are fish, everything from whales to water-boatmen* are also fish.
*They're insects.
Bb. Or we could admit that you're trying to classify a round peg by the length of its (square) sides.
Bc. Wasn't addressing this point what started this? And those are isotopes, not elements, so you're not helping your case any...
