ACTIVITY CHECK-IN: AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2015


Just kidding. It's nowhere near that stressful.

Welcome to the easiest Activity Check ever! Comment with your name AND the full names of the characters you're still interested in playing. You have until September 15th at 11:59pm PST to do this. Don't procrastinate or put it off, just toss on your info and enjoy an awesome day! New characters and players who are on a declared and active hiatus (dates must reach or exceed September 15th to count) for this month are not required to check in, but may do so if they wish.

This post will be linked to in the sticky note at the top of the OOC comm so it's easy to find.

NEW! 8/30/2015: See who has and hasn't checked in with this convenient spreadsheet!

The Pokemon event has been going for a week now and it's time for the second post! You don't have your PokeBalls for this week yet, so when you reply to this post, it's going to be a little bit different. You can still RP with other characters, go on adventures, do whatever you want with your Pokemon throughout the month. For finding Pokemon-related items, catching Pokemon, and levelling, however, you're going to want to reply to this post:

1. Your Character's name.
2. A list of your character's Pokemon, their levels, and their current attacks at the end of the last post.
3. A list of any leftover Pokemon-related items your character currently has (carried over from the previous day).
4. Which archway your character is in and if they have anything in particular they are aiming to do that day.
5. Any off-post Pokemon captures or leveling. (Details about the rules for this here)

The comment should look roughly like this:

Emerald Sustrai
Level 7 Snivy ♂ - Tackle (Normal), Leer (normal), Vine Whip (Grass)
Level 7 Honedge ♀ - Tackle (Normal), Swords Dance (Normal), Fury Cutter (Bug)
Level 8 Horsea ♂ - Water Gun (Water), Smokescreen (Normal), Leer (Normal)

Items: Dusk Stone, Big Lapras, Sacred Ash. Anything above their level, she'll be switching her Pokemon out during the battle to evenly distribute experience. She'll be in Fayren, only catching if it's a flying type, and beating the crap out of everyone else! If all of her Pokemon are low on HP, head to the Pokemon Center. If they are all KO'd, use the Sacred Ash. Otherwise, keep going. :D

Off-post stuff: Leveling 5 each- Em's a fighter, she's enjoying this. 1 catch! A Level 6 Seviper. (+3 Levels since she caught it halfway through the week.)

Easy peasy. After you reply, a moderator will reply with the levels and new pokemon you mentioned now added to your party, plus your Pokeballs for the week and start the RNG cycle. It will look like this:

Emerald Sustrai
Level 12 Snivy ♂ - Tackle (Normal), Leer (normal), Vine Whip (Grass), Wrap (Normal)
Level 12 Honedge ♀ - Tackle (Normal), Swords Dance (Normal), Fury Cutter (Bug)
Level 13 Horsea ♂ - Water Gun (Water), Smokescreen (Normal), Leer (Normal), Bubble (Water)
Level 9 Seviper ♂ - Wrap (Normal), Swagger (Normal), Bite (Dark), Lick (Ghost)

Balls: 4 PokeBalls, 1 Great Ball.
New Total Inventory: 4 PokeBalls, 1 Great Ball, Dusk Stone, Big Lapras, Sacred Ash.

Emerald searched Fayren and...

After the balls, your comment will list a series of events that were decided via RNG, up until the point that a moderator can't make decisions based on the information you've given us. (For example: If a Pokemon appears or there's an opportunity to use an item, special events that require interaction, etc.) Your character may find items, encounter Pokemon, random challenges from trainers, or more. The more details you give on how your character is going to react, the more quickly we can get through your turns and to everyone else. Remember that everyone gets 10 "actions" per week, plus up to 5 levels and up to 2 Pokemon that don't count for points outside of the post. Each reply to a moderator can be met with further action and when your character is done for the day, you will have the option to trade any leftover Pokeballs to exchange for Rare Candies or save them for the next day. Pokeballs CAN roll over! Have questions about the event? Read this post, then comment here if your question still isn't answered!

If you are not done with the first week's, please finish that before moving on to this post. Due to time constraints on the mods and our helpers, you may not start your character's Pokemon Journey on the first post. You may start on this post with only the +5 you're allowed for off-post leveling. Starters are still available if you are just coming in, but you will need to start your first reply on this post. If you have already replied to the previous post, you are welcome to continue on until you finish. Make sure to do this as the Level RNG range has now changed from 7 to 17 instead of 1-10, the only exceptions being if your character is RNG'd a rare chance of encountering an overleveled Pokemon.

PLEASE REPLY WITH SEPARATE COMMENTS FOR EACH CHARACTER OR SOME OF THESE MIGHT GET VERY LONG.
And your mod likes to keep things simple and clean.

Natalie has found her dutiful daughter; now it's time to get her hitched. BOYS BOYS BOYS. Are you willing to take the Esper challenge, while being silently judged through the finest spy equipment money can buy? I know you are.

The de-aging effect is still going on, but since you're not directly involved with Natalie per se, it's optional.
