To header this thing off, I'll post the rules of your future-to-be-topic here:
1: The Law
I think this is enough said. Don't do anything that's illegal in the game or illegal in the world. That means no plagiarism, no homi/genocides (killing other people), etc. You can get banned if it happens with your character, and you most likely will get banned if you yourself does it. Of course, it's not like we're gonna know if you go and kill someone.
2: Plot Advancement
I didn't quite like it when it was said that only the Game Master is allowed to progress the story. They're not my topics, not my story, not my job to advance the story. If it is time for an important character to appear I'll have him/her/them appear, but I'm not gonna be the one in charge of bringing you to the next city or town. I'll read all of the active topics, so I'll know when it's time for a character and WILL implement him/her/them in. So don't try and put the character in yourself or edit/make a new post saying "Where's Flarsable? It's time for him to come!" or the like. I'll come when I come. I have a life too.
2a: Limitations
I know I said you're in charge of advancing the story. That is true. However, that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Don't go all Speedy Gonzales and run all the way to the first Gym in Labyrock on your first post in the topic. that is, YOUR topic. This topic is only for getting starters. After you leave the Lab, make your own topic. I may not advance the story, but I advance the plot. If you're going to enter a town/city, make sure you give room for any possible plot points thta might be activated. You CANNOT activate these on your own, even if you know what's gonna happen. I added extra emphasis on the cannot because people can be very stupid. Very, very stupid.
3: Questions
"Polite & courteous..." no. I can take normal talk. Just, please, no swearing at me, I haven't done anything wrong.
4: No Commercials
You know what I mean. Advertisements. None of it.
5: Who are these Pokemon? I've never heard of a Zapurr before!
Those Fakemon are purely there for you to see and admire/hate. I'll re-list the pages on the PBWorks site that are null & void for this RPG and are only there for you to look at:
PokeDex
New Moves
New Abilities
New Berries
New Balls
New Items
New Medicines
New Battle Items
And, if we really give a crap about Mail, New Mail will be banned too. my excuse for you not being able to find the Tena Pokemon is that you don't have the Tena PokeDex Feature added so you can't identify them.
6. My Role as the Game Master
Just a refresher as to what powers I possess:
The Game Master is the leader of the RPG and whatever he says goes. He is there to put forth situations in front of the members of the RPG and is the only one allowed to move the story forward. There are exceptions to the crossed out rule, like Victory Road. There are also a lot of in-game events, so don't get too far into your adventure in only a few posts. The Game Master is not allowed to choose favorites, in other words giving a specific member an advantage over the other members. If anybody feels that the Game Master is being unfair than contact Squirrelay and he will look into the case. If any of the members get unruly then the Game Master holds the right to ban them from the RPG. This will be enforced by the Staff if the action is warranted.
New Rules will be added and/or existing ones will be edited/deleted when I come up with them/feel like editing them/feel is unnecessary.
EDIT: Added limitations on Rule 2.
"Back to the forest to research for me!" a voice calls form outside the Lab doors. Professor Palm walks in shortly afterwards, and starts admiring the place, as she usually does. "I can't wait to see what the new reruit Trainers here have to offer. Perch Town is a great place for new Trainers to arrive. So many young, energetic little souls to be going off into the world."
