Dream World Wrap-Up

[bravenewmods]

Cresselia and Darkrai have reconciled and the normal status of the Dream World has been restored. The Dream Mist will lift from Union, and everyone trapped within the two labyrinths will find themselves being ejected back to wherever they last were.

In the coming weeks, with the blessing of the lunar duo, the Engineers of Union will be able to upgrade the Warp Bands to provide access to the Dream World; it is, however, usually barred from entry. The Dream World will be opened twice a month and the people of Union will be able to explore it much like they did during the event. However, the world of dreams will provide a strange power...

When exploring the Dream World, trainers will be able to do one of two things:

1. They may choose to intensively train one of their existing Pokemon. The fuzzy reality, however, means that their Pokemon's abilities might shift. Intensively training in the Dream World will cause one Pokemon's ability to change to their Hidden Ability.

2. They may choose to intensively search for a special Dream World Pokemon. Each month, a new Dream World Pokemon will be available for bonding; however, even with the Intensive Search, bonding is not a guarantee. Bonding will fail often, but with each repeated bonding attempt in the Dream World, the chance will increase. This will work much like the ability to intensively search to chain a shiny. Dream World Pokemon will often have special moves and abilities not found in wild Pokemon.

All participants in this event will be able to freely train for a Hidden Ability the next time the Dream World opens in addition to making another choice.

The Dream World will first open again in two weeks' time. In the meantime, it's still the Soulfasting, and there's some celebration to catch up on…

Additionally, unrelated to the event, we are introducing a simplified leveling system for those who don’t want to micromanage 30 Pokemon and all of their levels. A new post to explain this system can be found here. Those who wish to use levels normally may continue to do so.

Activity Check (October+)

[bravenewmods]

It's time for our activity check! Rules are as follows:

- Activity is currently any posts or threads made October 1st or later. Comments made during this week and the week of the warned list are acceptable to submit (so up to November 14th).
- Activity requirements are 10 comments from your character spread amongst threads with at least 2 other characters. For a thread to count for activity, you must have at least three responses. You may not use a thread for activity two ACs in a row.
- The body of a post can be used in lieu of 5 of the comment requirements, but only one post may be submitted per activity check.
- If you have maximum slots (5 characters) and would like an additional slot, you may post double activity for ALL active characters in a single cycle to open up an extra slot. Subsequent activity cycles will not require any more than standard activity to maintain, but there is no limit to additional slots that may be acquired in such a fashion. When acquiring additional slots, you may use 2 posts if desired to fulfill half of the requirement.
- If you do not post activity before November 8th, you will be warned. Warned characters have a further week to post activity.
- If you fail to post activity after being warned, your character will be removed from the game. For storyline purposes, they will be lost in the wilderness.
- If you have additional slots and one of your characters is ejected from the game in such a manner, you will lose slots based on the number of characters ejected, to a minimum of the standard 5.
- Characters currently on hiatus are exempt, and you may hiatus for a month. You may hiatus for 2 months if you have special mod permission. You must post hiatus on our Hiatus page.
- Characters who were accepted into the game within the last two weeks or who hiatused for more than 2 weeks of the month are exempt from activity. Please simply post to check-in with these characters if you can.
- We have now implemented a strike system. If you find that you cannot make full activity for the month with one or more of your characters characters, you can take a strike for this month's activity. You need to post here requesting a strike, and you must pass the next two subsequent activity checks. You will not be permitted a hiatus for two months.

The following characters are on Strike:
Atsuro Kihara
Eren Jeager
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu
Ky Kiske
Lea
Mari Mochizuki
Quinn
Roxas
Satsuki Kiryuuin
Yuui Fluorite
