[quote name='NoGoodBoyo' post='3088' date='Aug 16 2010, 04:24 PM']It's an ugly eyesore. I don't need a whole part of my screen constantly being stuff I'm never going to use or care about half the time. I'd be easier on it if it was JUST the index page it was on, but it's not, so boo it.[/quote] Well, I notice that there's a button in the top left to collapse that menu. I also notice that it doesn't entirely... work. If I can find a way to fix that, you could get the menu out of your way no problem. If not, then I'll look into finding some completely different alternatives.

I'll begin with the good news- in its first official partnership, PokePlace Reborn is now affiliated with Pokemon Mysidia, home of various servers, fan-game collaborations and a wealth of discussion on its bustling forums. This, of course, is all thanks to Miss Kitty, who has thus inspired me to go hunt out some various other affiliations that I've had in the back of my head. So expect this to be only the first domino. More good news, unless you're a trouble-maker, the new mods have been chosen. This week, we're welcoming members Will and Lara to the staff as they help police any possible issues arising from the new partnership, incoming traffic or the shifting seasons and schedules (accordingly, depending on activity and availability over the next few weeks, we may consider hiring one more additional person) And speaking of scheduling, therein is the news that we've been waiting on. We- myself included. It also happens to be the bad news. The unfortunate reality is that school is starting soon (or already has for some of you.) Yes, I can hear your cries from here. Now, as all of us fall into routine, our schedules will iron out, but there is one very big problem. I'm starting college, and my classes are in the evening. Much o' y'alls still in high school, or maybe not even that, which means, if I have to take a guess, you're probably limited by the age-old rule of the parents that you can only stay up on weekends. Basically this means I'll be in classes until about the time that most of you need to get to sleep. o shi- So we're left with a couple options: 1. The Reborn League becomes a Midnight League- I'd get on at about 12:00 AM EST (which I could -probably- guarantee) and go from there as we usually do. 2. The Reborn League becomes a Weekend League- Mind, I have Fridays off entirely, and we pick an earlier time in the evening to meet. We could then run for a little longer, but only three days instead of six. However, I am not sure that I can guarantee my availability at a certain time every day. Please throw a vote in the poll as to which you would prefer. Option one keeps the League open for less time on more days. Option two means more time on fewer days. Please keep in mind, these are only first drafts for potential schedules. We will also be working around Miss Kitty's schooling, but hers is more similar to all of yours. In any event, the number of allowed battles per day and Leaders' availability will be changing. I'll work out the details of the latter affair personally. ...Finally, and this is extremely last minute, it's been decided that AZKnight will be promoted to a Moderator position as well, however, he intends mostly on cleaning up the forums. I agree with him that the posting standard here has fallen below par recently, and so he'll be in in just a minute to make a note for you all about the new expectations.

It it because you're not used to it, or is it really that inconvenient?

[quote name='NoGoodBoyo' post='3073' date='Aug 15 2010, 10:39 PM']Well since you brought it to my attention, I'm not using Viridian Rush. Although I really don't see the point if nothing is really changed.[/quote] Just the accent color. But yeah. I wanted the site to stay mostly Black and White for... well, y'all know why.

Because I'm considering updating/redoing/minimizing them, I'd like to know if anyone actually uses the other skins. Note that Foreshadowing is the default skin. If you want a run-down of the others, or in general had no idea that there even were other skins, look here: [url="http://www.pokemonreborn.com/index.php?showtopic=21"]http://www.pokemonreborn.com/index.php?showtopic=21[/url] Personally I use Indigo Illusion/Destiny. And once again, that comes as a surprise to nobody.

There'll probably be another one to update once the rest of the leaders are revealed.

Sorry Kitty, you're not a gym leader. >.< If you had your own sprite, sure, but...

So, I've been meaning to do this for a while, but it's suddenly especially important because I have a graphic to make, and I need to know which leader is the general favorite. Vote quickly, justify if you will, feel free to vote for more than one. ...I'm picking Luna and Gardevoir. This won't come as a huge surprise to anyone.

They still might add non-legendary autorain/sun though. We don't know. But yes, there is the chance that those two might be thrown up to Ubers or such.

Why? It's just like Swift Swim and Clorophyll. That means there's probably a hail equivallent.

Rather than clogging up the new Pokemon thread. In regards to what types are weaker/stronger/offensive/defensive/cooler/lamer/worthy of attention/etc. Carry on from the other topic then...

..You painted those... you.. what. how. that's. no. I don't believe it. They're too good.

Also as for Grass and Ice being defensively frail, note that both of those gym leaders run stall teams. >.>

Personally, I liked Mashew's answer. Although I do -try- and come on at exactly the same time everyday (10 EST)... Yeeeeeah. This random and irrelevant interjection brought to you by Amethyst and the letter T. Please continue.

May as well throw my own stuff in here. People who've known me longer will probably have seen some of what I post, but whatever. And... I suppose, just a little bit at a time. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2204/002dg.png One or two people -might- recognize this character. She was the main protagonist of a strategy RPG I began developing a while ago. I redid her character art just 'cuz. http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/7452/003bk.png This was part of a portfolio for which I received an award last year. It's based off of alternative-corrupting Wu Xing elementology. A counterpart was created, intended to be a series of five, but there was too little time to finish all of them. This is actually the second one.

Yeah. Well, and accordingly, we're going to hold off for the next week or maybe too.

Accompanying the server update this week is the before-promised Reborn Custom installation of PO. It can be downloaded from the link at the top left of the forums. This install should overwrite the original PO installation, provided it is installed in the default directory, preserving all teams, music and box data. This installation has the gym-leader graphics pre-installed. This installation is windows... Unfortunately, I cannot provide support for Mac and Linux users, however other users might. In the meantime, other OSes are limited to the manual method of downloading the [url="http://www.pokemonreborn.com/ts.zip"]Graphics Zip File[/url] and manually pasting it into Pokemon Online > db > Trainer Sprites. In other news, Miss Kitty has been promoted to adminship, while both of our other mods seem to have um, vanished. Therefore, we will again be considering potential new staff. I think that's all. So, in the words of Terra, Rawr.

Mashew, your team had to be invalidated because of Skarmory's Whirlwind. So that means four fighters... Overall this was a pretty dead-beat tournament, but it's not bullet's fault.

oh look the first post has been updated what do you know.

No, keep going. Just bear that in mind for the future.

Nope.

I hope so... So much. But yeah, I hadn't thought about the Luvdisc thing... That's very interesting... PS. Darumakka.... design failure.

Because this was posted later in the week, registration will be extended to tomorrow, but that is the last chance. Come on, people!

Hey, hey. It's psychic; it's superior- even if it does have a button-nose.

Stars- There wasn't a third place for that one. But there was for this. Sorry~ Hyper- Yes, and thank you
