So to spare everyone the tl;dr of Gardevoir's post! League is re-opening next Monday the 17th with a brand new cast of leaders. There are a couple questions floating around about this. I'll address them now. For instance, the most common I've been hearing is about Badges. Unfortunately, we DO have to wipe everyone's badges clean for the reboot. However, those who had more badges, we've talked to personally, and it seems like everyone who's around is largely okay with it. Most people have restarted anyway, so it won't be a huuuge deal. Other people are asking what's going to happen with the leaders released. Well, after talking it over, we're going to go back to our old tradition of letting the leaders loose one by one. Every two weeks, another leader will be unlocked (even if however many people didn't beat the last one, yeah, that took for bloody ever). However, we're cutting free the first two leaders at once. We're going to have new faces in a new rank- a whole new season. Are you ready? Because we are. League hours will be largely the same as they have been in the past- that is, 9-1, EST, Mon-Fri. We're continuing the Tri-Line League across these lines: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Your Line Hosts will be Ikaru, Mashew and Tyler as was before the gap. And so now we wait, huh? But not to bore you over the next week, we're going to build up the debut of the first two leaders by releasing just bits and pieces of their characters here and there, as we always do. For instance, I miiiight say oh just off of the top of my head, one of the leaders that's going to be starting is the older sister of one of our previous leaders~ Totally just an example, you know. To help everyone get ready for the start of the new challenge, two new items have been added to the Site Shop: League Retry Tokens, and League Fifth-Degree Tokens. Older challengers will know that both of these have been around for a while, but before they could only be acquired by special means. Now you can buy them yourself with your hard earned $R from the Pokedex and Movedex projects, which are coming along fantastically (Great work, everyone! Keep it up!). If you're unfamiliar with these items, no worries. The first will allow you to rematch a leader one night if you lose to them, while the second allows you to fight a leader five places above your lowest missing badge, rather than just four. Sound good? Then we'll see you next Monday~

..You're so violent, GG, you make it sound like they all DID die

And one more thing, Geo. Don't talk about constitutional rights. Firstly, this isn't America- the internet doesn't have a home country, and we have plenty of international users. Secondly, that's not how the constitution works. Posting here- being here is a privilege, not a right. If it were a right, I could not silence you, but you are here of your own choice, and as such it is also my choice if I allow you to be here. Incidentally, last I recalled you [i]weren't[/i] allowed here. I was willing to let a few messages and a status slide, but I'm going to reinforce my own privilege now, given the mess this all has started. Thanks.

[b]Show us your moves[/b] I mean.... Hi, welcome! And that's certainly quite a collection you've got there. Hope you stick around!

People! People everywhere! I love it. Welcome to the site~ Try and keep your brother under control. :3 imeanwhatilyowen

Not to be confused with the Sprite Shop.... But before I break into this, I should say, the pay-per-post and donation functions of the board are now functional again~ Meaning you'll automatically get some $R for every reply, just like before. I will still honor the bonus on the first and second sets for the Pokedex projects, though, so keep it up. You guys are doing really great work. Accordingly, the Movedex is coming along swimmingly. Just keep it up! So, you guys have all this CASH flying around, between the Pokedex, posts, and Caption Contest. What are you gonna do with it? I'm still working on Item Requests, but I can't possibly make enough to keep your wallets consistently empty... So.. Introducing the Site Shop! You'll notice there's a new link on the left menu, accordingly, below the Skin and Sprite links. If you click it, you'll be taken to the the new forum-store (the bones of which were drifting around the old version of the forums awkwardly because back then it was broken, but now it's not!) There, you'll find categories and items such as the following: Mess With Others! Personalize Your Account! Miscellaneous Personalize Your Trainer Card So, I imagine more than a few of you are going to have particular fun with that first category. Well, that's fine. But let's set some ground rules about it now. Firstly, these items are Privileges, not Rights.If they become a problem, I can and will remove them. I know that these sorts of things are inherently trollish. Well, we'll make a sliiiight exception to that rule being that you're paying for it. Call it bribery. Sure. But there are still limits. Reasonable things. I expect you all to keep the content, words and images both, appropriate and non-offensive. If I need to go over what that means, I will, but avatar restrictions should meet the same as for your own, and names/sigs should not be anything we don't allow on the server. Good? Good. In time, also, we may get a few more items. For now, this is a good start, non? Have fun, everyone~ Remember to behave

Very well said, Mael. I agree completely. And as such, I am going to close this to avoid further conflict, or scab-picking, so to speak.

All right, right now, you are out of line, Erick. There are much more mature ways you can be handling this. I suggest you find them, otherwise you'll just be shooting yourself in the foot. I will close this topic if necessary.

You guys realise this is actually more lenient than we have been in the past right? There's nothing extreme about this. Before we were using a three-strikes and you're out, thing. This makes the third strike a temp-ban, not a permaban. So... I'm not sure what the problem is, really. I understand that this is kinda out of nowhere. Usually when we make these sorts of announcements it's because discipline has been lackluster lately but the times I've been on the server recently (albeit that is sparingly,) everything's been all right. This isn't in response to anything, or trying to reform everything. This is just so you all know the poclicies the staff are abiding by as well.

Actually, this is effectively the same as it's always been. We just thought it would be nice to get everyone on the same page. Cool Story Bro all you want- if you don't want to be informed, you don't have to read. However, "[color="#800080"]You can't rightly ask people to change solely for the fact that it bother you[/color]" Well, we can. And if they don't, then we do have the power to ask them to leave. But I, for one, prefer not to have to resort to that. How about you?

They will, but we are still doing them if they're competitively viable. This is a good idea. As such I even gave him a bonus for coming up with it
