Hi all! Sorry just tagging you to update you all on the happenings and some general info for the next day or so. Here's the quote from the opening post about point bonus on sunrise/set days:
Day and night cycle: In order to get everyone on the same page regarding the sun's general position (up vs down) there are two days out of every month that mark sunrise and sunset. Sunrise will always fall on the 9th day of the month. Sunset will always be on the 24th. To drive home this concept, your characters will receive 3 trainer points when you post as them IC. This extra bonus only applies to the first post of that day. Up to three of your Pokemon can even gain a level when you post on one of these two days. The first three Pokemon that you mention in your IC post will receive the level boost; if you don't mention three Pokemon, the Pokemon that you have had the longest will receive the boost.
So basically every character gets: +3TP and +1 level for up to three Pokemon. I guess it doesn't matter which Pokemon gets the bonus, but every Pokemon only gets one point max! Don't try and give it all to one Pokemon, 'cuz spontaneous growth spurts are not a thing here ;)
Balthazar has suggested taking this point bonus system off as he is trying to make the RP more individual-based, but I'd like this point bonus system for sunset/sunrise to stay--any thoughts? We can self-monitor and such, and the community as a whole will have an obligation to be correct about it all. What do you say?
I don't think we need to form an official "committee" or "board" of members, so everyone is free to use the pinglist at the top of the post should you have an "announcement" type thing like a new location or such. HOWEVER! Use it with caution as no one wants to be tagged on a whim ^_^ Common sense and respect will serve you well here.
That's all from me, hope I helped! Dusk
//edit: also tell me if i missed anyone!
I agree that the bonus should stay. It's a good way for people who join later in the game to catch up.
You scared me, what do you expect? I mean, I guess I shouldn't have been holding the shovel at the time...*bows in apology offering candy and cake and pie* Forgive me!
After he and Cici split for the day, Tommy wasted no time in getting back out into the forest, determined to find the Bulbasaur at the very least. Anything after he would think of as just a bonus. Stopping at a small shop to buy some easy to eat snacks for himself and Amica, the pair set out to find their future friend. The first few hours were fruitless, with any Pokemon that Amica saw fleeing before her trainer could catch up to the nimble water type, and those that Tommy saw fled if he so much as moved an inch in their direction; or any direction for that matter.
Leading into the sunset hours, with Tommy already exasperated by the events of the last few hours, a sound of hope reached the ears of Trainer and Frog alike. [DarkGreen]"Bulbasaur!"[/color] Tommy and Amica exchanged a brief look and nod before both dashed in the direction it had come from. Amica found it first after a fifteen minute sprint and uttered a startled cry to it's trainer.
"Froakie!" Tommy slid to a stop in sight of the Pokemon he'd been searching for, under assault from a trio of Spearow in the middle of a clearing. The Bulbasaur was haggard, with the leaves surrounding the bottom of it's bud torn and ripped and numerous scratches across it's body. If the trumpet player had to guess, the poor Pokemon had been running for some time, but even with as haggard as it looked, the brave little Bulbasaur was putting up an impressive fight.
"Amica, help it out! Bubble!" The Froakie obliged, rushing into the battle and leaping into the air to unleash it's attack, catching the three Spearow off guard and scattering them. Landing next to the Bulbasaur, who was wary of another attacker.
"Froakie Froak Froakie." The Bulbasaur hesitated a moment, looking at Tommy, who had run over to join the pair before the Flying types returned, and then at Amica.
"Bulba. Saur Bulba Bul." Amica nodded and smiled encourageingly.
"Froakie!" By this point, the Spearow had returned and Tommy grimaced. Three on two weren't ideal odds, especially since he knew that Bulbasaur was at a type disadvantage in this fight. Still, he couldn't afford to hesitate and before the trio attacked again, he called out to Amica.
"Amica, use Ice Beam!" Amica obliges, if a touch hesitantly, and blasts the lead Spearow with the Ice type attack, sending it to the ground with a frosted wing. The other two, sensing that they may be outmatched, fled quickly and the third followed as well, though at a much slower pace. Tommy smiled and turned to his partner, who was panting. With a facepalm of realization, he picked the Froakie up in his arms and smiled at her. "Good job, Amica. Take a rest while I speak with our friend here." The Froakie nods with a weak smile as her trainer retrieves her Pokeball and she disappears in a red light. He then turns to the Bulbasaur, who was panting heavily now that it could rest. Slowly reaching behind him, he pulls the potion he'd bought in Central City out and holds it towards the Grass-Poison type, who growls softly at it's sight.
"Easy buddy. I can help with this, and if you let me, get you to a Pokemon Center. In fact, I can even offer you safety from those bullies if you join me and Amica. How's that sound?" The Bulbasaur eyed the person and potion in his hand warily, but there was a look in it's eyes saying it was contemplating the idea before it finally nodded.
"Bulba." Tommy smiled and approached carefully, spraying the worst of the wounds with the potion until it was gone, then pulling out one of his empty Pokeballs. The Bulbasaur appraised it before one of it's vines snaked out and tapped the button, pulling the new member of Tommy's team in in a burst of light. It wiggled three times before the red light in the center flashed to signify the capture, and, after a short jump of victory, Tommy ran for the Pokecenter. He knew that the Potion had helped his new friend, but he needed to get the Bulbasaur to the Pokecenter for proper treatment.
The run took less time than the walking and wandering searching for Bulbasaur had and within an hour, just as the sun was truly starting to set, he reached town. He spotted the Pokecenter and ran to it, pulling out his occupied Pokeballs and nearly throwing them at the nurse. "The Froakie, Amica, she's just worn out, machine should be fine. But the Bulbasaur was under attack from Spearows, looked like it had been on the run awhile. Needs more than the machine." Tommy spoke the words both fast and out of breath, so he had to repeat himself twice more before the nurse nodded, having him bring out the Bulbasaur, who was looking only slightly better after Tommy's help, to take it back for more extensive treatment. A short time later, Amica's ball was returned, but the Bulbasaur would require overnight treatment. Thanking the nurse, Tommy took a seat in the front area, exhausted, and let Amica out, who took a place next to her trainer and making sure he didn't keel over from gasping for air.
Tommy caught Bulbasaur!

Name: Tefan Village Location Type: Village Pokemon Types: Fairy, Dragon, Psychic, Fire, Fighting, Ghost, Flying, Normal, Ground, Dark
Lore: Far to the South of Both Feyhollow Town and Central City is the mighty volcano known as Mount Jerimus, where it is said Groudon himself rests.
This volcano is home to many different types of Pokemon, most notably Fire and Dragon types who live around the volcano’s crater and near its peak, while Fairy, Dark, and Ground types make their homes in and around various caves found all over. Inside the volcano is where the more gutsy Fire types can be found, mostly living around the inner edge of the crater, but they have been known to venture out of their lava heated home in search of both food and challenging fights.
Also known to live near the crater are a variety of Fighting types, though they live all up and down the dormant volcano, the heat the lava gives off providing an excellent endurance training area for them. Hikers have also claimed to see the legendary cat Entei around the volcano’s crater and even on the island of stone near the lava lake’s center, but there has been no way to confirm it.
Near the village is a graveyard that contains both the passed on of people and Pokemon from Tefan Village, and as such become a home for many different Ghost types, who enjoy coming out at night to pull a prank on passing living people or other Pokemon. If one listens closely durint the late hours of the night, one can hear the cry of Giratina, the Ghost Dragon type. Psychic types were brought in in an attempt to counter the both dangerous and entertaining Ghosts and eventually took to living and breeding locally.
In and around the village is where you will often find a plethora of Flying and Normal type pokemon, who opt to stay away from the Volcano due to all the other types that live there.
Tefan Village Poke Mart
A small, cosy little shop on the northern edge of town closest to the volcano for quick access to busy trainers.
*Poke Ball: 5 points: Beginner Item - Use this item to catch bottom tier Pokemon in your area.
*Rare Candy: 5 points: Beginner Item - Use this item to raise the level of one Pokemon.
*Potion: 5 points: Beginner Battle Item - Use this item to heal 10 HP of one Pokemon.
Tefan Village Mission Board
A large board against a stone wall in the village center, framed by the drawings of the village children. On this board, townspeople in need of assistance from trainers for various reasons leave requests in the form of posters. To accept, trainers are to take these requests from the board to the town hall.
Hey, I was wondering since @Dark Light is adding points for the sunset. Is this the correct? I thought it was 1 bonus for the first post of the entire day. I could be wrong, was just curious
It's sun rise and sunset. I couldn't tell you the exact post that Balthazar said it, but he did.
