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?

Watching Caprica while my eyes water. Oh, allergies.

Least I'm not sick like half of everyone ever.

Helps that Caprica's my favorite show ever. If my eyes'll behave, I'll be set o7

Caprica? What's that about?

[identity profile] freshbreeze.livejournal.com 2010-10-21 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a prequel to Battlestar Galactica. I never watched all that much of that series, but prequels mean there's no necessary knowledge to concern myself with. Basically it's set some time in the future in these twelve colonies.

I'm not the best at explaining, so I'll link you to this (http://www.syfy.com/caprica/about.php). The show's visually stunning and that's part of what I've so thoroughly enjoyed about it. A lot of television shows don't feel like they have the cinematic quality of a film, but Caprica does. It's heavy on symbolism and beautiful nonsense sort of settings, because they have vivid online worlds to play around in.

As for characters themselves it's interesting to find the struggle of artificial intelligence just as compelling (if not more so) than that of the flesh-and-blood individuals. You basically see the events which lead to the creation of a robotic race that decides that ultimately, humans are irredeemable and should be erradicated. The second season's been pretty good so far, and I don't miss it if I have any say in the matter.

Oh wow, that looks really neat. XD I might have to check that out.

If you do, I'll hope you enjoy it.
