  1. Here are a few: -Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennesee Williams (technically a play, but still really enjoyable to just read) -The Wheel of Time Series (if you're prepared to read 13 very long books) -Homefire by Kamila Shamsie- A really interesting modern version of Antigone from the perspective of a modern Muslim family. Good luck with finding more books!
  2. Welcome to the team guys! Sorry that I have been in such a busy patch of the year that I haven't been around to help welcome you to our team. It's a super well deserved promotion for all of you! If I ever start being as active as I should be again I can't wait to work with you all!
  3. As of 11 June 2018, we have introduced a lifetime warning point system. If you have read this announcement, there is no new information in this thread. It is here as a reference to ensure people to access all the information they need to about warnings in the site inquires subforum. In the past we've operated under a system in which a user must acquire 10 active warning points to be banned. However, we have decided that this system is outdated as users almost never reach the threshold, which allows bad behavior to continue without any substantial consequences. Under the new system, bans will be assigned once a user has acquired 10 non-etiquette warning points since the creation of their account, whether or not they have expired. Warning points will still expire, and all of our other consequences still operate based on active warning points. In conjunction with this shift, etiquette warnings such as double-posting, necroposting and unnecessary posting no longer have warning points attached to them. These warnings do not count towards the lifetime warning count. Repeat offence versions of the warnings still carry warning points, however these do not contribute to the lifetime warning count. They are only for temporary punishments such as mutes. For a full list of warnings and what category they fit into look here. This new ban system is not applied retrospectively, and no users will be considered for bans based solely on warnings given before 11 June 2018. However, if another non-etiquette warning is acquired, previous points can be taken into consideration when determining whether or not to ban someone. Overall: -Users will be banned once they reach a total of 10 non-etiquette warning points over their time on the forums/discord/server. -This does not apply retrospectively until a user requires another warning point -Non-repeat versions of etiquette warnings now have no warning points attached to them. Repeat versions still have points but do not contribute to the lifetime warning count.
  4. I generally wasn't excited by much in E3 this year, because I'm only really a nintendo person and don't like Smash. The Xenoblade 2 story DLC looked incredible and was definitely the highlight of the nintendo direct for me. That being said, I'm most excited for the Tales of Vesperia remake, as I've been super interested in playing that for a while but have never had a console to play it on.
  5. For server related issues, generally the best way to let us know is by messaging a discord moderator/ admin with screenshots of the offending section. If you're trying to report a forum user whose behaviour has been toxic, just pick one example and feel free to leave links to the others within your post. Its quite intentional that you need to leave a post, as in the end we do need a solid example to warn for. While a warning can be taking more than one post into consideration we still need it to start somewhere. I'm sure there used to be a way to report accounts, but I think we got rid of it. So if the issue is something on the profile, just pick their most recent post and put the fact that you're warning about the profile in the text and we'll keep that in mind.
  6. I've added it in for you! No need for Sayia to get stressed by it when she wakes up! Replace your old file with this one and the EXP share will be in the bag. Game.rxdata
  7. I do understand your point, but there are a couple of reasons why we can't make every move as flashy and amazing. Firstly, flashy moves that go across the screen take longer to animate and drag out the process (which has already been going on for years) even further. Secondly, in order to make movement smooth, we would need to be adding an extra 1-2 seconds to each animation and we've already received some complaints about our animations causing the game to go too slowly, so if we did it for hundreds of moves, the game's pace would be even slower. Finally, we also try to think of a move's power and rarity when animating it. We want to create a clear visual difference between things that are used really regularly that are relatively low power, and things that should be inflicting a lot of damage. This doesn't always correlate with movement across the screen, as for moves like flame charge, it just seemed like the right idea to have it go across as the concept in my head relied on that. Overall, I do really understand your desire for more movement, and in an ideal world we probably would be able to have it, but I wouldn't get your hopes up, as the animations project has already been going on for several years, and going through the add movement to every contact move would bloat this process even further.
  8. There's no problem at all with you hosting a contest of some sort, required that it doesn't require people to go and sign up to other websites/ forums or anything like that. We're all in favour of people starting their own initiatives, so the only question is whether people would participate, and the only way to find out about that is by giving it a go. So just try to make sure your contest is fun and something that people might enjoy even if you weren't going to give them anything in return and I'm sure you'll get some people involved!
  9. Welcome back!!! Even if you're probably not here for long. I'm glad to hear life isn't treating you too badly! Unfortunately Arkhi, Rose and Tacos are all mostly gone, but hopefully you'll be able to summon back. For people reading this thread who are too new to recognise Jeri, he was a very important mod man as well all the other stuff he listed (although I suppose that was the arguing with Dan bit). A lot of the policies and rules you know and love were shaped by his work! Enjoy your return!!!
  10. Zephyr is entirely correct that it is now a time based thing. Before the site update, there was a class in between that was time based, and you needed a minimum number of posts as well as said time to become a veteran but we removed that. So once you've been around for a bit longer, you'll receive it automatically.
  11. There generally isn't a lot we can do about lag, and you've tried a lot of the things we'd recommend. In terms of overworld lag, the main thing to do is make sure that as few programs are running as possible, as reborn seems to need a disproportionate amount of power to run with less lag. If battles are really laggy, you might want to try disabling attack animations, which you can do in the game menu under options.
  12. I'm also jumping on the eating too much unhealthy food bandwagon.
  13. Once the full game is released it'll be completely open to mods, so there will almost certainly be a reborn easier mode, for people who mostly want to enjoy the story! I completely understand the frustration of getting stuck on certain fights though. There were times when I felt like giving up might be easier! If you're really into the story you could try looking for a let's play, but those do come with the side effect of somewhat annoying commentary in most cases, which might detract from the experience.
  14. The topics that are archived are generally pre site-update, although if they're inactive for over a year or two its an automatic process. We don't actively archive anything, as generally it just makes life more difficult as we can't edit them, and the site automatically stores everything that's been created. If you want to make it so that one of your threads can't be replied to anymore, then we can lock it. Users of the veteran class or above (which you get once you've been on the forum long enough) can lock their own topics, but if non-veterans like you wan't a thread locked feel free to pass it onto a moderator who can do it for you. The best way to do this is by reporting your own thread and just mentioning that you want it locked in the report. Hopefully this answers your question, let me know if I've missed the point!
  15. We've had quite a few of these threads over the years, but we haven't had one in a while, so I don't see the harm in having a new one! For me, the answer would be a tie between dedenne and azumarill, as I prefer cute pokemon in general, and they're both fast attackers which makes them more entertaining to use.
  16. To be honest, Kirby games don't ever really have particularly compelling stories. They provide a reason to go between levels and keep playing, but nothing particularly special. Triple Deluxe's story was the best out of the ones I've played, but I haven't played either Planet Robobot or Star Allies.
  17. There was an online league where people could battle the gym leaders (as in the ones who are currently the gym leaders in game) with a team of their choice. Then someone suggested that it might make a good game and were going to do something, but Ame (who ran the league) decided she wanted to do it as she was experienced with RPGMaker. Some of the meteor characters were made via various other forms (a guy called Ice who still hangs out around here something was a big player if I remember correctly). Everything just developed from there.
  18. Yes, if you don't have access to the old saved games folder of your computer, there isn't really any way to get the file back.
  19. Lag is somewhat difficult to fix. If you're talking about lag on the overworld, there isn't a whole lot that can be done other than trying to have less programs open on your computer. If battles themselves are really laggy you could consider disabling animations (you can do this from the options bit of the main menu) and that should speed things up.
  20. If I'm making it myself I'll chuck pretty much any processed meat on. If I'm buying it I'll usually go with either a salami/pepperoni or an aussie.
  21. The first chapter was a really good read, so good job there! I can't guarantee that I'd read all of it, but its certainly something that I'd at least flick through when I noticed it. For dialogue, you could try downloading RPGMaker and then opening reborn up in that, as it would allow you to see all of the text and copy and paste it, but the downside to that is you have to work out the exact order of events and where text comes from, so to be honest the way you're doing it at the moment is probably best.
  22. @March Hare Divergent As far as I'm aware the system of creating clubs still requires a certain number of members. That being said, I don't think that we're monitoring a certain level of activity is upheld. If there's enough support for that, we could certainly consider our options in that regard, but I'm not sure if we see there being enough harm in some emptier clubs to actively delete things or not.
  23. Okay I'm going to pin this thread for now alongside Tacos one, as I still think there's value to having it around as a reference, as there have been many discussions of glitches and so on in there. That said, this looks like a really impressively detailed guide that should be really helpful, so thanks and great job!
  24. Congratulations!!! I've been ridiculously impressed (and thankful) for your work in bug reporting in particular, as I haven't been helping out there with the frequency that I should and I realise that doing so much of the work with minimal support is quite difficult! Yet you've taken on the task with impressive dedication, and therefore your promotion was well deserved! So, welcome to the team once again!
  25. We have an entire subforum dedicated to Rejuvenation that can be found here. Don't worry though! The game is definitely still going though and there should be a new release somewhat soonish.
