    (18:57:52) ±Murkrow: theme ember disabled.

    Arcanine's help message tells the user incorrect action to use. This has been messing up many games and confusing players that don't know.

    Matthew I'm going to give you 3 days to fix that before I remove my approve. /extremespeed needs to be simpler as it has caused a lot of trouble for people who have been Arcanine and on top of that the help text is wrong.

    I thought he fixed the /extremespeed problem, but it isn't reflected in the OP anyways. I suppose changes made have to all be up to date in the OP so that people first reading don't get confused. But yeah, if you haven't done it already /espeed or /speed is fine.

    When it's fixed I'll make sure to play the theme on the server more but the one or two times I did play it wasn't too bad (although I stopped paying attention after getting n1'd as Charizard all the time)

    Fixed

    I fixed it several times, no idea why it's still there. Fixed.

    Moltres has 4 votes, but had 2 votes in small games, so not sure if you mixed those two roles. Thanks for the approve though :)

    sorry that this is late, had a lot of errands lately and I can't always be on PO 24/7 :/

    edit: added a link just in case you want to see the update, though it's small: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XbHgT5MQ

    Don't bump. Anyway, I'm still waiting for Water's additions to QC before I do anything. :I

    Not the most special thing I've seen. It isn't too bad, but the village could use some spicing up. New ideas that aren't the usual "inspector here, PL here, they are bad". I'll give this a little time, but I'm leaning decline unless some unique ideas are added. As to what they are, I only hope for the best.

    Dm; Hs - Update and buff or decline [1]

    A "What makes this theme unique?" description would also be nice. I agree that the theme seems a little bit bland. If you would like, I would be happy to help you come up with some ideas.

    First of all, I wasn't clear on what you meant by don't bump, so I ended up just flat out ignoring your post. So I ended up forgetting for about a week or two and then I see two rejects. (You could have at least PMed me on the client)
    And second, I think it's unique in that most of the village isn't just a bunch of conveniently attributed PRs. I also think it's unique in the fact that Heatran can /power, which can be a distract, stalk, or an inspect. I think it's unique because the spawn's been worked on a lot even though prior to the big whole wipe and when it was in testing the Geodude Mafia was OP, but it's nerfed so that Golem and Graveler aren't so OP anymore. I think it's also unique in that the PL of the village can evolve. And fine - I'll add a what makes this theme unique list if you're ever so inclined.

    Edit: Also, BG who turns into a semi-Samurai.

    By that, I mean move it up. And I didn't pm you because there's lots of themes. I really can't go through and PM all the authors. I like the fact that there are a lot of villagers -- something unique in a way -- but it ends up being a lot of villagers who don't do much and hoping the mafias kill each other, which means villagers should be given something so they aren't entirely scum hunting -- Not a lot of mafia is capable of putting their thoughts together and get the baddies -- so it's up to the few PRs and other mafas to kill the mafias.

    Now you see, this is the thing. You guys wanted me to take hax away from Magby since it was too OP (even though it was at 2% per villager, with like 5 or 6 villagers during medium sized games). So I put it on Skarmory. What exactly are you suggesting I put on Magby? Hax is pretty much the only thing I could imagine on a Magby, nevertheless a villager.

    This was always one of my favorite themes, and I was sad when it went away. I haven't seen matthew in forever, though....

    I'm always on, just under alts. I cleared all my PMs after someone was spamming me, and I have no idea who was asking me to make themes.

    Yeah. Daykilling BG is always interesting. What to change... Hm... idk. Just so many vulpix. I'm fine with high amounts of villagers. Possibly switch them up. There's enough fire types and other things. As well as multiple other bg types (torkoal). And some other things. (Spinda solo.) Not sure how to fix currently. Do you have any other ideas for roles or stuff?

    yes sky sentinel :x but that's pretty much fixed now.

    As for you Roild, I suppose Spinda would be an interesting role, but I want something to be able to be solo -- yet have no way of eliminating other players directly (kill, poison, etc.). A kuja's the only thing I can think of on the top of my head, but maybe a role that converts into an auto-win role. (I've done that in one of my free time themes but I'm not sure if it would be fair).

    Alright guise, I've updated it a while ago, but Roild said I can bump this, since it's been a while since the long post. Currently, this has 2 Declines [Roy Mustang, Roild] and 1 Approve [MewtwoHidden]. It's been a while since the theme was played (at least 5 months), but I'd like to see this on the server, seeing as how I've worked a lot on trying to balance the Geodudes especially, and haven't been quite sure how to handle things. I think this should be interesting, really.

    Bombs away

    Too many villagers. Usually I like having a lot of villagers so they can mask PRs but that's a bit overboard. Only goes up to 28 too, which is a bit outdated. Unless I'm looking at the wrong pastebin? But yeah, needs more roles, for mafia and more village. Should not be too difficult given that you're using Pokemon for flavour.

    A new Gen of Pokemon too, shouldn't be too hard, but then again, Mt. Ember takes place in Kanto, and Kalos isn't flavour. Magbies masking PRs was one of the fun parts so Village wasn't so UP with Heatran out.

    GUYS BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING READ THE OP, AND NOTHING BUT THE OP.

    Also, Windblown, I fixed it. It now goes up to...
    drumroll...
    29.

    I can't find any other way, without putting a long stretch of villies and millers in the way, to go beyond that amount. I see no reason either way, not like recent times have peaked at 28+ within the past couple months.

    Decided to close this for now, meaning it's locked.

    I'm going to work on renovating this theme, revamping it, but for now, it's put on hold.

    Thanks.
