Just so everyone knows, I am leaving town from now until next Sunday (The 6th, I believe). My posting should not change. I will be doing stuff during the day, but I should be able to post and update before I go to bed each night. I will have internet. But, If I do drop off the face of this site for a week, this is why. Thanks!
Well, this is both exciting and terrifying at the same time . . . .
As I think some of you can see, I've been upgraded to a WPL. I'm going to try my best to make sense of everything Daft, Froxy and Video left behind and get a game started as soon as possible. I'm the only person running this at the moment, and I'm a college student as well, so I apologize in advance for and disappearances I may take. I do try to check the forum at least once a day, though.
If ANY of you are still interested, please leave a message here or PM me . . . . I hope to have something going soon, and will keep you all updated.
Thanks Cyouni, I'll let you know once I have more of a chance to look things over. I'm hoping I can pull enough together over the next few days to HOPEFULLY have something ready to go by the weekend. . . . will keep everyone updated.
Edit: It looks like there is enough to work with for starting. I'm taking what they had and running with it . . . . I just need to fill in some blanks, make a couple tweaks here and there.
So there's two people, Cyouni and pet snake . . . plus myself as various NPCs . . . anyone else? It's gonna be fun . . . .
As for updates, I've created a basic map using all the existing places that can already be seen, plus added a few more which I hope to get created either tonight or tomorrow. I'm also reviewing travel, TM/HMs, shops, money, all the fun, tedious stuff. Things appear to be on track with what I thought was left. . .
OK, I think I have enough together that we can start this thing. Only Newbloom Bay, Livian Port, and Osiers Town are ready to go right now, and the Routes that connect them, but I think it's enough content to last for a little while.
I have reworded the opening post of the Character Registration Thread, hopefully making it easier to read and understand. Please review it to make sure your character is still compliant. Anyone who already has an existing bio there has two options:
1) Create a new bio and post it at the end of the thread. DO NOT EDIT YOUR EXISTING BIO. Use Copy+Paste, and make minor changes if necessary.
2) Make a simple post stating that your character is fine.
If you do NOT have an existing bio in the registration thread, please make one as per te guidelines in the opening post. Please remember that it is subject to WPL approval.
I will review the bios and provide more information as necessary, and try to keep the thread as neat as possible. Confirmation of your character will provide more information about what to do next.
I feel bad, because I said I was going to have major updates for you all after my exams were finished . . .
I'm working on them, really, but holidays have kept me rather busy and away from my computer. Also, there's some intermittent issues with my connection right now, and transferring large amounts of data.
I really am working on stuff, I ahve things on paper, it just might be a little bit before I can get them up here. Sorry about this.
Well, obviously I'm in....and don't worry about the lack of updates. I'm sure you'll get it done in time. I'm content with wandering around the Routes until then.
Yes, I'm content to wander even though you seem bent on making me regret not buying Potions and more Poke'balls at the Open-Air Market back in Livian.
As I'm sure you can all see, more Route threads have been made, expanding from where people are at the moment, as well as location-specific areas like Concave Cliffs' graveyard. I've also got some behind-the-scenes things in place as well.
I apologize for how long it's taken me to finally get to this, and for my lack of updating. With school as busy as it's going to be, I might not be able to get back here every day . . . . but I try!
School took more time than I thought the last few months, but with exams next week, I will be free to create more background content and update stories on a more regular basis once May starts.
Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding.
Also, behind-the-scenes lists for pokemon in Routes and other areas already on the map are locked in. This WILL NOT change what you already have, just what you will see in the future.
Hope to get more location-based city threads, and the rest of the Routes done in the next few days.
kthxbye
EDIT: On a side note, ALL 12 starters from the games are able to be found in the wild.
OK, so maybe the fishing challenge starting in September was a little ambitious on my part, since things seem to be slipping away due nobody's fault but my own for not updating as often as I should be.
That being said, I still want to run the challenge, but have removed the unofficial start date to give people a chance to get to Newbloom. Also, I'm going to attempt to change how I do updates, so please read carefully:
In an attempt to boost activity once again, I will be posting updates to each individual story AS I SEE YOUR POSTS. This means I will not be waiting for other active players to post in route threads for one big update, so please check back regularly so stories don't get lost in the shuffle.
There's exceptions to this, like multiple people being involved with an event such as the fishing challenge, or other world-event. Also, if I haven't responded within a week of your posts, just send me a PM as I may have missed it. And I currently plan on doing one update per character story each day at a maximum, so there's no rush to check multiple times a day for anyone involved.
. . . . . .
Now, about content. I'm sticking to where things were at the end of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, so the next generation of pokemon will NOT be around until I decide to work them into Risin. Also, I seem to have . . . misplaced . . . my notes about the Route paths that have yet to be created. They're coming, as well as further city developments, but I might have to re-create some information (won't affect the existing threads, though)
Edit: After the holiday season (if you celebrate Thanksgiving), you can expect things around here to be a lot more frequent, and, in turn, more fun all around.
Ok, so just so everyone knows, I have taken charge of the routes. As a head's up, I expect to update them, on average, every 1.5 days (maybe earlier if I have time).

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Take a mechanic from the pre-mirrodin era, and a mechanic after the mirrodin era, and create a card that flavorfully melds both mechanics.
That would be correct. Deus will be gradually taking control of any adventures/misadventures in the Route threads, and I will be focusing on what's happening within the cities themselves, and the character registration. . . and also, finally getting to more world-building and development so people can enjoy as full an experience as possible.
Watch for content over the Christmas/end-of-the-year holidays!

Check WP-specific Items thread for the *.jpg
Yeah, it's a basic Paint drawing, but it's enough for the moment . . .
