A reminder

Anyone wanting to transition over to our new home at [livejournal.com profile] bohren_rpg from Dreamwidth does have until 02/14/11 to repost their app on the new application page or their character will be considered dropped from the game.

We have already begun the Gym leader challenges for Dean and players can now begin logging on the next route to Dimidium town. We are also working out a system for Pokemon Contests with our cast.

If you would like more time to think about the transition to our new home or just more time in general to get your self moved over, please reply here or on the reserved character page with your Character's Name and we will extend your application repost for an extra week. Remember, if you do not post by 02/14/11 you will be dropped.

Thanks :) Hope to see you at our new location

Moving on uuuup

Not really moving up, just moving in general. We are officially headed over to Livejournal. I know some of our members are not fans but consider this a fresh start for Bohren!

What's next? The game is open to anyone here that wants to continue with us. We ask that you please repost your characters App on the App page of our New Home. Then, comment on the Cast list page. Your app will not have to be approved, its just to let us know that you are moving over to the new site. Feel free to also join all three communities.

All members of the game that are currently on the Cast List have been moved over to the Reserved Character section of the game. You have until 02/14/11 to repost your application and comment with your character to the cast list page. If you do not, your character will be considered dropped from the game. This means your character (if not OC, cause boy wouldn't that be strange) can be apped by a different player. If you do plan on coming back at a later time, please let us know and we can consider you and your character on a hiatus.

We do hope that you stay with us during this change, but if you do want to drop, we completely understand.

We'd also like to announce that Naomi, [livejournal.com profile] ryttu3k is now one of our Assistant/Helper mods. Congratz Naomi :)

Hope to see you soon!

The Dean Challenge post will be posted tomorrow. So lets get off to a great start

Pack your bags?

Hello Bohren Trainers!

[livejournal.com profile] beansalad and I have been thinking, and we've also discussed with a couple players the possibility of moving the game to LiveJournal. Despite my fundamental disagreement with their business practices and the way they treat their customer base, the bald fact of it is that LiveJournal is where the role-players are. Here's what we're thinking we'll do.

- All the Bohren communities will be re-created over on LiveJournal. We will not be starting the game over. I know a lot of you are very fond of your CR and it doesn't make sense to hit the reset button just because the place we're playing has changed.

- We'll put up one post in the log comm and one post in the channel comm that has a directory of all old posts, for backreading purposes.

- Once we get everything up, we'd like for you guys to re-post your applications, just to see who's still here and who we've lost. You're already in the game so it's not re-applying, just posting everything in one place so we can make sure the taken list is up to date.

We would like a yea or nay from you before we go forward. While we think this is a fabulous idea (personal feelings about LJ's evil corporate owners aside), our primary concern is that you are having fun playing here.

Comment with Yea or Nay in the subject line. You can explain your answer if you want, but really this is just a way to do a poll without a paid account.

Thank you,
- Bohren Mods

We're back!

Apology for the silence. Your lovely Mods have had a fairly hectic last few months. I hate giving excuses, so I won't. It was not okay for us to not do our jobs as mods, and for that, I apologize. Bu I love this game far too much, I don't want to close it down. SO! For our remaining members, we would love to keep the game going, if you are willing, then so are we.

If you would rather not continue with us, then we can totally and completely understand. We will miss you horribly because we love every single person in our cast, you guys are all wonderful.

There is a plan right now to do some reworking on the mechanics of the game, to try to improve on why the game went into silence before. There are a lot of things we can improve on, that is for sure. I hope everyone will be able to join in and we can carry on.

The goal at this point is to get us the hell out of Sheercliff. I think everyone is a little tired of being in this city. Right now your Mods are going to play the role of Dean, the Fighting Type Gym leader. So if you want your character to challenge, a post will be going up shortly for challenges.

A post will also go up soon for the next route, to get us out of the city and onto tpart of Bohren. In which there will be no tournie, but a contest instead :) This is the goal, so lets all work together and I cannot wait to play with everyone again :D

*tentatively nudges people*

Guys? ;;

*sneaks back in*

What? We've totally been here the entire time! You guys are CRAZY.

Anyway, now that Nanowrimo is completely over and everyone has had a few days to recoup, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate anyone and everyone that attempted this year! Both of your LOVELY Mods actually reached the 50,000 goal (and got some bad ass novels out of it). And I know a few of our players also reached the mark, so CONGRATZ! To those that didn't, we are still so happy that so many of our players took the time to actually attempt it. It was a great ride BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO GET BACK TO BUSINESS.

Where we last left off, team rocket stole one Pokemon FROM EVERYONE. Then Mew came along and switched our BRAINS. So now your Trainers are in Pokemon bodies and vice versa. The thread is going to have two options, either for your Trainer!Pokemon or your Pokemon!Trainers. Take your pick. This event will be considered the November event.

In relation to Sheercliff, keep an eye out for a thread on Monday regarding the Badge/Gym Leader challenges and the like. We know everyone and their Mom is probably tired of being in Sheercliff, and we'd like get everything moving a long as quickly as possible.

So, let's get back to it guys! Happy December!

I have a shiny new computer and...while not technically free time, a whole lot of computer time at work to waste on RPing, so consider Kurt & Luna's hiatus/slowiatus over!

NaNoWriMo

So we might as well get this out of the way now. Who is participating in NaNo this year? We all know that November is a slow month for those participating. So it would be good to know who will be attempting it (or at least utilizing the time to work on writing things, etc etc), so we know who will be slowatiusing during November. Just comment below and we'll add you to this list here.

Players Participating / their characters
-Mitchell / [personal profile] pain_split, [personal profile] serpentmaster, [personal profile] demhips.
-Naomi / [personal profile] sheikahguide
-Inkwell / [personal profile] sivalesvendetta, [personal profile] headshotsavvy, [personal profile] tackylamps.

Post tags!

Hi, members! For the better part of today, I've been editing the tagging system we use in the community, and I'm happy to say that we're mostly all organized now! Hooray!

If you'd like to comb back through the community and check to make sure I've gotten your character tagged in all posts, feel free. I'm about to set the permissions so that anyone can edit tags on any post - that way they can add their characters as they comment.

Here's the new system.

Your character has their own tag. Please tag all posts with your character's name.
Pokemon journals please use the pokemon tag category. For instance, [personal profile] speedblitz's tag is pokemon: blitz. For pokemon who don't have a nickname, for example Skyler's azumarill, the tag would be pokemon: skyler's azumarill.

!open and !closed are in use in the main community, [community profile] bohren_rpg. The !locked tag has been implemented for [community profile] bohren_trainers. Additionally, if you'd like to keep your post open to only a specific group of people, use !open: group tags. for example, a post where only gym leaders are allowed to comment is tagged !open: gym leaders.

!battle is used to indicate that a pokemon battle took place in the log.

!location tags are now used to describe where the log takes place. Use !location: sheercliff if your characters are posting in that city, or !location: sheercliff gym if they're at the gym.

!route is the tag we use when we're traveling between cities.

!gym challenge and !tournament are fairly self-explanatory. There will also be !plot and !event tags in the future.

Tagging your posts makes them easier for everyone to find, so I hope you'll take advantage of the new system!

Halloween Event!!

Evening everyone! Figured since things have been moving a little slowly, I would announce the ~*~HALLOWEEN EVENT~*~ Now remember, we will not be posting the Halloween event until the Quakesburg tournament is completed, but might as well give you guys a heads up on the event (Want the cookie?! Ehhhhh?) so everyone can prepare and figure out who they want to use ;)

Hello hello. Fresh meat and all bringing you a Twilight Princess based Link :3 Just call me Trip, and I think half y'all have already met me in chat or somesuch. Yes I'm a derp, yes I have a tendency to be extraordinarily slow. Just ask Sheik-mun. Hopefully you can roll with that?

Very short hiatus/slowatus (hopefully)

So, my computer has essentially exploded in a very odd way, to the point where it won't turn on at all currently, hence my terribly poor tagging recently. Slow tagging that will continue for at least a few days more, though hopefully by this weekend I'll have what I need. Until then, both Kurt and Luna will be a bit slow, if not completely absent. Sorry! XP

Stolen Hardcore from Mayfield

They have a meme going right now so I'm just going to leave this RIGHT HERE. Cause LAWL.

"Go here and play Oregon Trail online! Then leave a comment telling a running commentary on the crazy hijinks your wagon party has been up to, add your own little 'spin' to it, tell a story, etc if you want.

Obviously the sillier the wagon parties, the more fun it will become!

IF you don't want to play THAT version ,you can also play a more modern version where your characters are on a roadtrip! Here!"



OH I AM SO EXCITE.

;_; - May I still play?

Hello everyone,

I know... no one knows me here, as I was here at the start and fell off the planet a moment later. I am grateful to see that I wasn’t removed for extreme inactivity. Please forgive the sudden disappearance!

Things got really hairy there for a while and Internet seems like a blessing in disguise or something. I haven’t been happier, I swear.

With all that said, I’ll spare everyone the horrifying details and simply ask... am I still welcome here... and if so, oh my GOD I missed SO MUCH. Where are we? What’s going on? Someone fill me in a bit? And... I need to find an excuse for Jim’s absence. Any ideas? I want to get back into play as soon as I can, though I might take the day to figure out what I missed first so I don’t make him look like an ass.

Thank you kindly,
Gann & Jim

SO I'VE BEEN AWAY FOR THREE DAYS.

And I just wanted everyone to know that the Pokemon journals idea is amazing and brilliant.

I will make those later.

Also, what tags do I need to do/need to bug people for?

And post for Akito and his brand new Pokemonz is going up soon.

Ilu all and I missed you like burning ♥

The majesty of Sheercliff

Sheercliff Town is another outstanding marvel of man versus nature. The Town itself is built into the large stone cliffs over the ocean. Rock and Fighting type Pokemon are by far the most popular types here, as most of them were used to create the town itself. While the larger buildings are on top of the actual cliff, a good 70% are on the actual cliff face. The only way to reach them is to brave Rope ladders, using Pokemon that use the move Rock Climb (which can be provided to trainers at the Sheercliff Pokemon center) or long and tedious stairways built inside the cliffs. which take hours to climb. It can also be assumed that Pokemon that can fly can also be used as transport up and down the cliff face.

The people of Sheercliff are kind hearted, filled with respect for nature, Pokemon and each other, and are by far the most disciplined of all. The town itself is built around the Sheercliff Dojo, which over 80% of the towns population attends on a day to day basis. The only reason most people live in the town it to attend classes there. Because of this, the town has thrived and caused the area to boom with success.

The Sheercliff Dojo is located directly on top of the Cliff. It Over looks the vast oceans on one side and on the other the magnificent Bohren Mountains. There are various classes people and Pokemon can attend either separately or together. Bells ring thirty minutes before sunrise and thirty minutes before sunset as a reminder of the popular classes are about to begin. The Morning classes take place on top of the cliff, outside the Dojo and evening classes take place within the Dojo, which has run for centuries. The leader of which has vanished...

There is not a lot to do in Sheercliff, except attend Dojo classes. Which is good because to challenge the Sensei, one must attend as many classes as possible. You must gain respect from him to accept your challenge. Gym challenge take place only after dark. Many trainers have had to stay in the town for weeks just to be able to attempt to challenge him. The next tournament does require his badge, and his only. So best of luck.

Hopefully he will return soon, for now, the Pokemon center is located at the heart of the cliff face, so don't think you can avoid just staying on the tops of the town! Sheercliff is now open.

Guess Who's Derping Back...

That's right, lovelies, it's me! In an attempt to force myself to be more active, since I have three characters in this game and one of them is a gol' dang gym leader, I'm forcing myself to dehiatus. However, I've not yet read the backlog. Does anyone have anything specific they wanted me to post on/need me to get done/etc etc? Comment here and tell me!

This means that Tarvek, Sasha and Elijah the Sniper are back!

GAME ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello, Bohren players! As I'm sure you all know, things have been slowing down a bit at our beloved game here, so the mods have been thinking hard to try and figure out things to help spice it up a bit, and to set us apart from other Pokemon RPs out there.

After much deliberation (that's a lie, it was a five second AIM conversation that mostly consisted of flailing over what geniuses we were), we've decided to add a new mechanic to our game that we hope all of you will enjoy!

ExpandDrumroll please... )

HAVE A BLAST GUYS.
