early updates! Oh my!

Hey guys! We have a ton of updates for you all today! They're soooo biiiig that we decided to do them early!

First off, the friend add/remove.

Weekly Friend Add/Remove
Please copy the following into the Admin Console.


Second! We would like to remind you guys to please not use the out of character community for non-game related updates. Please use the spam community, [livejournal.com profile] slowpoke_gif, for those!

Third! The Frequently Asked Questions and Battles 101 pages have been edited and updated! Battles 101 is now a little easier to understand, with a better explanation on how battling works and leveling. If there are any more questions, please ask below! As for the F.A.Q., the following questions were either added or updated:

But my character's not human...
What about my character's special talents?
My character has fragile health! Or they broke! Or they died in their canon! How can they live in Johto?
What kind of canons are accepted?
What about playing a Shopkeeper?

How many pokémon are there?
What's this I hear about evolution?
How many pokémon can I have?
Can we name/rename our pokémon?

What does a Trainer Card do?
What happens if I break my PokéGear?
So how do I make money in this place?
If I'm in Team Rocket against my will, can I just pretend I'm not with them?

What about Non-Player Characters (NPCs)?
How do you deal with drops and reapplying characters? What happens to their pokémon?
How do you get away with hiatuses?


In these updates, we have decided to repeal the Persona 3 Protagonist clause. Route will now allow both the Female and Male Protagonists in play at the same time. We have also decided to incorporate a Glitch Technique in order to help players coming in and out of hiatuses with their transition back into play. It's also got many other goodies! Please check it out! If you've got any other questions or comments, go right ahead and ask~!


Fourth! We have edited the moderators part on the main community. For now, only Okami, Stormy, and Kit™ are listed. This will change in the upcoming weeks, don't worry. Please be patient if things are a little slow. (Sorry so much!) We're burning on coffee and trying to be as quick as possible on keeping everything updated for you all. We'd like to express our sincerest apologies for letting things get a little delayed but we're working on fixing that as fast as we can!


ETA: [new] Fifth! The character limit has been moved to five! App more characters right now-- Quite a few people reached the limit so we decided to expand it just a bit more.

Six, actually! How is everyone doing today?

Fifth! The character limit has been moved to five!

........... D-DON'T TEMPT ME. SERIOUSLY.

-- Also, I'm still... trying to get better enough so I can come off hiatus, but I'm getting there!! XO!! How are you/is everyone else?

Alsooo - minor question. Since Falkner has a Honchkrow, would that count as a "Discovered Pokemon", or is this an in-game case of trollolol hax gym leader? :|a

We're doomed, aren't we? XD

[identity profile] fiduspawnmaster.livejournal.com 2010-10-20 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man, FAQ updates! Awesome FAQ updates! Character limit increase! Darn it, I was just thinking "it's a good thing I can't app all three of these possible future ideas" and now. sob.

Love you mods~ I'm doing okay. Class went well, and now I'm catching up on threading before bed.

Incidentally, I like how you trademarked Kit's name there.

[personal profile] combat_butler 2010-10-20 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
oh shit different wages for different jobs and rocket allowances what the. But ha ha ha five character limit I will never get anywhere near that.

Also aaaaa the new leveling stuff made my eyes glaze over a bit since MATH NOOOO but I've just kind of. Drastically slowed down the leveling for Hayate's stronger ones in general due to the hilarious level difference in the area. Kind of limiting it ICly to 3~4 levels a week at most unless there is some INTENSE TRAINING for a gym match going on.

... in a less technical note, I am freezing and playing Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. So I'm doing okay I guess.

[identity profile] little-anchor.livejournal.com 2010-10-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I figured the money would be fun! As are numbers when you're being super technical! Since it... didn't make the most sense last time. XD Random money-pickings always works too! And random level-pickings.

Ooooh, that sounds neat. XD Is it good? /googles it

I'm doing well, though I think my allergies are acting up (or maybe I'm catching Route-itis?). I'd be doing better if I'd quit dying in unexpected and vaguely funny ways in Persona 4, though.

Cramming for my 'last' midterm (and exam for a while, hopefully), but otherwise freezing my ass off and generally a-ok!

Nice to see the FAQs being updated and the 7-odd pages being trimmed to just one. That is just awesome.

Also, loving the Glitch explanation. ♥ Yes. More reason to keep a Waiter's working uniform in Squall's swag bag. \o\
