@toadropes I don't see why not, but you'll have to rework it for this RP's purposes. As this RP is set in the future, you can make a organization that's inspired by the old Aether Foundation, this giving you more arm space :)

Just letting you know I forgot to count the post I edited in my counts to. I added it just now.

@zarkun no problem. Truth is I forget all the time, and I just go back in and edit it... but everyone can see the previous numbers so no need to report yourself ^_^ (Plus I trust everyone here, and only check when bonuses come in as people are liable to miscount/forget 0_0 which is unfortunate)

@DusksongYeah, that was the point; it'd run under the assumption that Aether runs conservation outlets in a variety of regions (undoubtedly expanding after that whole fiasco with Lusamine), so it would essentially be another branch of Aether that runs independently of the Alola branch.

@toadropes Sounds good to me :) Go for it.

I had originally intended for this RP to exist in a completely separate universe from the anime and games. Meaning that the Aether foundation you create and existing anime/game one should not be directly connected, and the mentioning of names like Lusamine are not encouraged.

However, I think people have already gotten used to referencing the anime within their posts. I suppose this can be a future world instead of a different world entirely.

Is that the announcement or...

@zarkun Nope xD Calm down, the announcement will come when it's done being fleshed out ;)

i am working on something big. but this rp wont suffer. it will be an important part of whats to come.

Let's start with small announcements and work our way up.

First, the people tagged above may find that their CPs are a little higher in my opening OOC post than you may have accounted for in your posts. (As of the time I'm posting this announcement) This is because of a lesser known bonus that may have been forgotten about by most. Your first post in a new month is worth 5CP, effectively making it 4CP more than a normal post. Happy New Year!

Second, I just deleted a small section of the manual that says that each month is a separate day in this RP. I did this so that the midnight hour does not rush your story arcs any more. Now, the only thing that regulates this RP's pace is the sun's position in the sky, night vs day.

Third, this RP thread's manual will not be updated any further. This is because, in the future (no specified date yet), we will reboot this RP with Dusksong as it's head GM, while I will remain as a Co-GM. The timing of this transition will coincide with my final announcement...

Fourth, I am building an entirely separate site to supplement this RP. This new site is not to replace this RP, but rather, it will add to the experience. The new site's lore takes place 100 years in the future of this RP. This means that, for the most part, the two RPs will operate simultaneously yet separately. But something is stirring in the Pokemon universe that may cause the two worlds to collide....

Fifth, the full scale launch for the new site is not going to happen immediately. It will be under construction for as long as it takes to get it ready. Even still, I don't want to keep anyone in the dark any longer. So without further ado, here is the web address: pokemon-new-world.proboards.com ..... You can register as a member now; that way you can watch as the site is slowly constructed. You may even contact me (via PM on that site) if you would like to help speed up the process. I've already built the site's skeleton, but there is still much initial content to write.

I hope 2017 is going to be a wonderful year for all of us, here and in the real world!

Thanks!

@Balthazar007 Ooh, sounds interesting! And I'm definitely on 46 CP now, right? (-7 for new mission).

How's new content going to work, though, seeing as it gets added to this RP all the time? I guess both RPs could be updated with new locations, and we could discuss which organisations still exist / which ones have changed.

@Dusksong Talking of organisations, what with recent events, the Helping Hand Guild could have a new member soon...

@luckyblackcat Oooo >:)

Yeah, I don't think Tommy will be joining the Helping Hand. He's going to be a Pokemon Master, and a region Champion. So he's got a lot of other things to focus on XD

@Zarkun @Dusksong Cici will, though, after what happened. I was planning for her to join that guild, but needed something to prompt her to do so.

@Balthazar007 While we're on the subject of organisations, I'm working on a researcher guild. Should I wait until professor labs are a feature, or is this something I can post up within the next few days?

Also, what are the guidelines for organisations?

I second this; I'm interested in creating an organization as well.

@Zarkun So, where to next? Tefan, to get Dragon types? Zephyr, to help deal with an out-of-control Porygon Z? Stillwater, to meet Olivie again and possibly do the Bad Dreams mission?

It's your call, just throwing suggestions out there. I'm alright with any location.

I'm thinking Tefan. Been putting some thought into a mission involving the local legend about Entei.

@balthazar007 For the second point, when you say "Now, the only thing that regulates this RP's pace is the sun's position in the sky, night vs day," these are set by the sunrise/set posts, right? Just making sure :)

//Edit: If anyone's wondering, the question is yes. Also, for sleeping, time-skips are okay, so "sleeping" can be stalled off to whenever people'd like :)

@Zarkun Yay! The more missions, the better. Looking forward to seeing what you've got planned!

@Balthazar007@Dusksong

Looking forward to the end results of the new project.
Can someone please remember to tag me when the new site/new page gets started?

I'll jump back in then ;)

Sorry I'm gonna have to drop.

Good luck to everyone else :)
