PGC - continue? disband?

[islandshore]

So, with Lightning and Hope gone, the PGC is now without its leaders. What I was wondering is if anyone with PGC chars would like to continue the Corps even without Lightning there to lead. In the past, its leadership used to belong to Merlin as well as Ventus, so there is precedent for it to continue.

I was thinking of having Riku throw up a filtered post involving its future sometime within the next week or so. The tricky part is that the Corps is much smaller now, so my initial thought is if it does keep going, a) do we keep the squads as they are? Shuffle people around to compensate for the smaller size? And b) new recruits. With the numbers down, now might be the time to welcome new members into the fold.

So think of this as a general discussion post. Curious to see what you all think!

Oh, that sounds like it could be a lot of fun! I can't speak for all the PGC players, but I'd definitely be down for it somewhere down the line. What sort of scale were you thinking about?

Really, it depends on what you'd be interested in doing. For example, when our Rockets want to wreak some havoc, they get in touch with us and usually give us a rough plan — "I'd like to attack this landmark, I'm going to do it on this day and through this method", etc, etc. I don't see why it couldn't work the same for the heroes, just in reverse — "My hero is in this city and I'd like for them to foil a Rocket plot, maybe they could attack this landmark on this day, and I'd like it to be a decisive victory so here are the types my roster is strong against."

Alternatively, we could also be a little more flexible about it and you could request an attack without a lot of details, and then we'd hand you the scenario and then let you respond to it with whatever plan you can come up with to combat it — for example, we'd say "There's a raid on the Olivine Lighthouse and it looks like there's about five guys with some kind of dog Pokemon because you can see the tracks in the sand. What do you do?" — and we'll tell you how well you succeed (or, if you're open to it, fail!) at it.

Basically, there's no reason why the hero cast can't have the same opportunities to do things as the villain cast; the same method is probably applicable, just reversed to accommodate the good guys instead of the bad ones.
