News

Four months ago, terror held the world in stand still. The attacks on both Saffron and Castelia have concluded... and despite the growing darkness, the people of the world band together to throw an event in the spirit of world unity and the courage to stand against this new foe.

Howdy, yawl. It's been a while. I know school has everyone under the wraps right now, but with a new skin and a small freshening up of new layout capablities, the site is back underway to being a great place again.

Some of you may have or may not have noticed the new member class known as Ace Trainer, which some of you have been tagged as. It's basically a reward for being on the site for six months (and if I've missed you, please let me know). This will allow you to avoid your account being deleted in Activity Checks. It does not, however, exempt you from them. If you don't make the check, you won't get deleted, but you will lose your canons. You won't lose your Event Pokémon, though, so that's a plus.

If you've noticed, me and Bori have been sprucing the site up a bit here and there, trying to get things under wraps. I'll have a new Activity Check up in the new couple of days, as well as a new contest or two with new event Pokémon.

---

And before I forget, just to get some excitement, how would you guys feel about a place where you can breed the event Pokémon together for new results?

---

Additionally, I'm going to ask here: Does anybody have any suggestions for the site in the future? I have plenty of ideas, but I want to know what you guys want personally. How do you want the plot to move forward? Are you happy not having much of a direction, or would you prefer PF to be more involved in influencing that, and if so, how?

If you do have ideas, post them here. I know I have pretty much half of youse guy's MSNs, but that does no one any good for additive thought process.

Until next time, over and out!

Free plot isn't bad, per se, but it runs the risk of letting things just fizzle out when people run out of ideas or don't have something similar to a timetable to push them forward.

Just sayin'.

I agree in that regard, I'm just unsure as to how we should move the plot forward. I should just have something devastating happen.

Devastating events are always good.
I wouldn't mind breeding event Pokémon. Lord knows I've got a ton of them.

But I do have some ideas for getting the Coordination Contests worked out and running regularly. ...I just gotta stop being lazy and write them all out.

Until then, just let me know where you need me. I'll do what I can.

Lul. I was trying to let the Cipher + Rocket alliance thread conclude before I did anything, since worldly destruction on the plots end is supposed to be tied to deviance on the player's end.

Basically I wanted something to happen if the conclude to ally together. Because all the destructive weather effects are supposed to happen due to characters being deviant, whereas the weather effects are supposed to die down when other players achieve good things. But Idk. Maybe the plot needs a rewrite to make it more concrete. Maybe an NPC the site can control to make things move faster when need by, rather than waiting for players to do things all the time?

@Bori: Why don;t you post what you have for the Coor. Events in an Questions & Suggestions or the staff lounge or something and I can help you? I also still have the old rules for them too, if you want to look at those.

And I'll look into possibly breeding event Pokémon. There would have to be limits on it, LOL, last thing I want is people breeding them left and right.

Archie- "Suggestions here's one. Make the whole site one big ocean where I am it's king :D."

Me-"..."

Okay back OOC though, A breeding center sounds great. On the plot thingy, I feel we need a site wide plot, and then maybe even some zone wide plots, like a plot only in Kanto or a plot only in Unova.

@coolkid: Lolol Archie. But we do have a site wide plot, it's just incredibly inactive at the moment given it relies on playing that hasn't really happened the past couple years PF has been open. That's why I think we should probably have a NPC character/force that pushes everything forward. I haven't figured out what to make it though, but it should definitely directly effect everyone once e do figure it out.

I do like the idea of a driving force NPC. Gets things done.

So do I. I was thinking whatever it is it shouldn't be wholly human or Pokémon. More like a force that a being.

I would say that you should talk to Dox about the "Astral Mother" or whatever he calls that ultimate entity of the Forbidden where Faust comes from, but if that wouldn't be completely railroading the plot toward the Masters/Stardust/Dark Wars future then I don't know what is.

I don't really know much about this site that can fix it, since i'm seem to keep staying where I am and just making it up as I go, but I was thinking of some more character involvement. It might help with forcing the plot along. I know you want the "force" to make it occur, but a force would really only effect the people, Pokémon, and places that it can push upon.

Maybe if this "force" was to work it's way into individual roeplays, at the roleplayers digression of course, you can get the site more up and excited about what was happening. It might get people so interested in the plot they will pay more attention and it will actually push itself along. Not to do some "second hand advertising" but I do it at my site all the time and it seems to helpif even just alittle.

I don't know if it will have the same effect here, but it's an idea.

@Tempest, Do you mean like posting in indiviual threads themselves as the plot force? That could work to unify the plot if so.

@Chris, I'll have to talk to Dox when I get home, then. He was already helping me in some regards because I asked him if he wanted to involve Darkrai in the plot awhile back. Not sure what became of that.
