Okami here, and I am pleased to say that I have updated the Gym Leaders page to also reflect the badge names, the TM or HM rewards given, and when some abilities can be used outside of battle!

Please see here for the details, and ask me here if you have any questions. To start, yep! Rock Climb and Dive will eventually get added in, but we've got plenty of time to get to those |D Feel free to retcon and add in any TMs you may have already earned!

Alright, everyone! We have a few announcements to make for you guys!

Because of our plans for next week, applications will be closing for a short period of time. (You know, nefarious schemes and all that jazz.) Anyway, we will be doing applications this Saturday (November 20), and again on Wednesday (November 24). Then applications will be closed from November 25 to December 4.

Route 29's sixth-month anniversary is just around the corner. Can you guys believe it?

Good evening, ladies and gents of Johto!

We've got a few announcements for you all.

First! The activity check. Due to a few issues that came up with September's, we've edited the rules to specify that it is the character journals we check for the one post to pass monthly activity. We didn't know it had confused anyone, and for that we apologize. It now reads as the following:

**Activity checks will be held from the 1st to 7th each month. You're considered active if you have at least one post per character journal each month, with at least 10 comments. On the first, we will make a post with the accounts that do not have posts that reach the requirements. You have until the 7th to make a post, link two threads or logs that have shown activity, or talk to a mod regarding other circumstances. If there are any complications or problems, please contact a mod.


We have also decided on a new reclaiming system. If by chance you were removed from the game in the activity check, you have until the 10th of each month to contact a mod and link the post or two threads/logs to reclaim your character. We'll be adding this to the rules shortly as well.

This Month's Reclaims:
Please copy the following into the Admin Console.



Second: EVERYONE, CLICK THIS LINK. See that? The logs community now has a colorful tags list! If something's listed strangely or misspelled or if I completely forgot a character or so, or if we should probably rewrite a character's or series' name to a more common/memorable tag, please let us know and we'll add it in!


I hope you've all been having a good weekend so far!

I'll start with the good news!

Route, please give a warm welcome to Kit [[livejournal.com profile] katanisk], mun of Heather ([livejournal.com profile] heatherusedrage), as a new member of our Technical Assist mod team! She'll be joining us to help keep the lists and such in order. Exciting, isn't it!

...now, for the not so fun stuff:


ACTIVITY CHECK


Time for that monthly activity check! This is for posts made through the month of September. Activity, at this point in time, is one post per character. If your character is not on the list, you're safe! Please continue having fun.

If your character is on the list below, that means there were zero posts made for the month of September. You will have until October 7th, 11:59 pm EST to make one post, including responding to the tags, and link it to this post, or link to two threads of any reasonable length (including logs!) you've made with other characters in order to keep your character. Characters who fail to respond will be removed from the game on October 8th.

Characters who are on hiatus or joined within a week of the activity check (meaning anyone who joined on/after September 26th) are exempt from this month's check! If we missed someone who is on hiatus or already dropped or if there was a mistake, please feel free to let us know, and link us if you can find it!

September Activity Check: 28 )

Announcements, guys!

YOUR WEATHER FORECAST FOR THIS WEEK IS: SUNNY!
That's right, guys! It's going to be beautiful and sunny until Monday, Sept. 6! Level playing fields, but who wants to battle? It's wonderful picnic weather!
Highs: 85ºF/29ºC. Lows: 64ºF/18ºC.


Also guys, we've received a few complaints about the overabundance of memes in the OOC community. We accidentally let it get a bit overboard and we don't want it to become too cluttered, so in a few days, we are going to make a meme-community for Route. For now and for the future, all memes posted in the game communities and the meme community must be mod approved. More details to come soon!

And don't forget our monthly activity check, which is.... the post right after this one!

Announcements accompany this week's Friend Add/Remove post. Exciting, ya?

One: Word travels quick around the grapevine.

Neko [[livejournal.com profile] formulanekotic], who plays Mizuki ([livejournal.com profile] saving_violins), and Loren [[livejournal.com profile] iforgotmyyname], who plays Raenef ([livejournal.com profile] powerfail), have both joined our team as Technical Assistant mods. They have been helping us with Route practically since it opened, as those mystery 'helpers' we kept referring to. We're sorry for not announcing it sooner, please forgive us! And please give Neko and Loren a warm welcome.

As the title suggests however, Loren and Neko are there for tech support, mainly for updating lists and keeping things as updated as they can. For all questions pertaining to the rest of the game, please continue coming to Okami and me with those.


Two: As much as we do appreciate your offers and your eagerness to help, Okami and I are not accepting any more mods at this time. We would like to formally request that you stop asking. I know you're all excited and not every list gets updated the same day, but right now, we are doing the best we can. Please just have a bit of patience with us.


Three: This is also connected to two. Please do NOT answer questions in the F.A.Q. Again, we ask for patience. I know you may think you have the answer, but a lot of the foundation for Route is still be worked on and sometimes your answers may be wrong, or they may change through the course of the game. We appreciate that you're looking out for us but Okami and I can answer them just fine.


Four: Our Canon AUs rule in the F.A.Q. has been updated! Because of a few discrepancies with certain series and abnormally similar counterparts, we came up with a solution and have decided to stick with that for now. Also, the job part has been changed to make more sense, because Stormy is a derp; please keep making money!


Five: Remember guys, the activity check for July is still up until Saturday! If you haven't checked yet, please do.


Now that the reminders are out of the way, fix yer friends lists! Also, especially for the new guys, a few names were forgotten on the add list so please double-check and run on the mass remove!

Hey guys, IT'S ONE AM SATURDAY and we mods are behind on applications, so at the very latest, we'll have them processed by Monday! WE'RE REALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT, so thank you guys for being so patient. Just wanted to give a heads up /o/

Also, our once a month AC is tomorrow (or later today when we've slept) so please remember that you need one post from the month of July in order to pass it! It runs from August 1st to August 7th; we'll have another announcement about those who we need a post from before it's over.

When the AC has passed, we will be having our monthly game-wide HMD on August 11th, and you are free to post links to your private HMDs if you would like <33 Anon will be allowed, and IP logging will only be visible to the mods.

~*~And now for something totally fun and crazy~*~
WE DISCOVERED THAT AUGUST 13TH LANDS ON A FRIDAY. So, we will be having a mini-plot for your enjoyment! We'll have more details for this during or just after the HMD, so stay tuned!



AND NOW ONTO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM!

Just to give everyone a heads up, Stormy and I have made a few updates that you should all be aware of!

The distances between towns and such has been added to the maps page (someone kick my butt for not finishing with the actual maps part yet aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I have them sitting here staring at me), and the starter list has new fancy coding, as well as all of the route information for finding Pokemon!

We also want to give a heads up that the FAQ will get an update in the next few days regarding our decision on the language barrier issue, and I'm positive it will also have an announcement with it to answer any questions.


I would also like to apologize for current Rockets who didn't get any missions last week, let's just say Proton broke something and Arianna was a very unhappy executive when she went to make a broadcast. I will make an announcement on new missions and new placements though with all of the Rockets coming in on Tuesday next week :) Keep those eyes peeled!

That's all for now folks, so keep on training! (MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU--/shot)

SUP BITCHES!

Actually in all seriousness, SUP BIT--/SHOT.

Hey guys! Stormy here, with a super special giant announcement. We came to an official decision on the language barrier.


Copied from the F.A.Q.:

Can we understand each other? Is there still a language barrier?
Nope, Route 29 no longer has a language barrier! All humans and human-like beings can now understand each other. They're all speaking an unknown, common language, even though it flows from their tongue as naturally as their native one. Almost everything is typed and spoken in this language. When it comes to written material, characters who focus long enough can write in their native language, but most times it comes out written in the common language. Unfortunately, characters cannot switch between verbal languages and characters who are able to talk to animals will not be able to talk to pokémon.



After hearing what you all had to say, we decided it would be easier to just make two languages: human, and pokémon. Since you're all worrying about what to do and how to take care of pokémon and what to do, it'll just be easier if languages aren't there as well. And we won't have to add on extra policing on our part.

Unfortunately, time for the less exciting news.

Okami and I were quite disappointed with the amount of people we heard either had not read the F.A.Q. or were just choosing to ignore it, so we have now added passwords to the application. They are in the Rules and the Frequently Asked Questions, and they will be changed every month or so. Please be sure to put them in your applications from now on!

Also, we updated the Pokémon page to include starters and availability, if you haven't seen those already.

Now back to your regularly scheduled battling~

Okay, guys! We've been hearing about a few problems between knowing how long it takes to get to different cities and which pokemon you can get.

Okami and I have been having really hectic lives for this weekend (wow guys... wow), so we're making an announcement here to clarify. It'll be "written in stone", so to speak, in the upcoming days.

First off, we would like to say it takes at least three days to arrive in Cherrygrove. Because we're not just burning through on a GBA, your character is walking. Lots of walking and running into fairly easy pokemon, like hoppips and ratatas and bellsprouts and other low-level pokemon. Not only that, but your pokemon are probably not going to be able to battle all day as of yet.

They'll get harder and the routes grow a bit longer.

And yes, we'll fix the region map.

We're just trying to keep you all from finishing the route too quickly, and this is so you can all pace yourselves and have a few more interactions with others along the way or in cities. For any questions or concerns, IM one of us or comment here.

Also, we would like to add that most of you trainers and breeders won't be in Cherrygrove until Mid Monday or later, depends on how fast your character travels!

Sorry guys, hope this helps! Happy trails!

Good Day, Trainers!

Stormy here. Okami and I were quite surprised at the amount of reserves and applications we've received! Sorry for being so delayed, we're still trying to spruce up the game.

A few things have changed in the past few days:

○ We've edited the Premise. Now it's in storymode and looks more like... a premise!
○ We've also made a ninth rule, which is #8 on the list. It's been added since around Sunday or Monday, but I don't know when you've all checked it so I'm alerting you all just to be keep you informed!
○ And our chat! We've finally decided to release the name of the AIM chat to you all. Our chat is...
SentSomeToMom
Don't be shy, come say hi! Common courtesy and be-nice reminders go here.


We'll be tweaking the F.A.Q., explaining what every new arrival will get (I have a mental list! Problem is, it's mental), and possibly adding a navigation page in the next few days. And applications will be done tomorrow, hold us to that!


You've all been so patient, thank you very much! ♥ Can't wait to meet all of you! Thanks, guys! Three more days!

Stormy ☂
