bravenewmodsHey Pokéfans! A few important announcements for tonight, including the next stage of the Sanctuary decision.
First off, we'd like to announce that our helper mods, Brandon and Ax, have been promoted! ...Which essentially means they've agreed to do more work! Brandon and Ax have very kindly agreed to step up and fill in the gaps on the occasions when the mods will be unable to carry out their normal duties. In this case, two of our mods are expecting increasing workloads in the future due to the ongoing success of a real life project. Therefore, you may occasionally see the Friday night posts and Pokémon requests flipped by the Helper account; these are fully legitimate, so no need to be concerned! Please thank our helpers, both for their continuing NPC roles during plot-heavy events and for their assistance in the future!
Next, after some significant discussion, we've decided to implement a change pertinent to the characters in game who are Far From Ordinary. As Enlightened abilities may be realized at any time, all characters who are Far From Ordinary may now choose to develop Enlightened powers if that's where they feel their character arcs are leading! However, there are a few restrictions that will apply: primarily, we will require these characters to respond on the Applications page with a justification for this process, reflecting the character's growth in game and explaining why it would be a logical step forward, as well as including new details on their Enlightened abilities. A form will be added to this page to reflect this change. Second, these characters will retain both the secondary ability that they possessed (such as Master of Evolution) as well as their primary affiliated typing as Far From Ordinary. The secondary typing may change as they continue to evolve, of course. Finally, these characters will reset to Level 1 to allow them to grow and evolve normally as Enlightened.
Our final announcement is the next logical step in the Sanctuary discussion. The overwhelming majority voted to establish relations with Sanctuary provided they dismantle the Homunculus program. The Council, reflecting the voice of the people, communicated as such. However, as probably might have been expected, the leaders of Sanctuary politely refused.
The question now is how to proceed from this point. Please look to the IC post to continue discussion and continue to vote. We'd like to reiterate that due to the fact that people with five or six characters in game could potentially unfairly unbalance the vote, the final vote is how you, as a player, would like to see the game change. However, you are of course free to vote in a manner reflective of how the majority of your characters would feel.
And now a few minor notes: Dream World is open for the first time in a while! If you would like to participate, please go to the Map Post as always! If you are new and don't know what Dream World is, please refer to the FAQs and search for Dream World! This week's Dream World exclusive is Imposter Ditto. We'd also like to note that the ongoing background event with the legendary birds and beast is still continuing, and we encourage people to thread in places outside of Union! Finally, several of the ruins on the Map still remain unexplored, for those interested in that kind of thing.
That's all for now; thanks, guys!
