My bad, we normally don't allow names starting in 'special' characters for similar reasons but I must have approved the name-change while running on semi-automatic.

I did a rewind on your name change - you're back to being Swirled (just 'Soul' is unfortunately already taken). Feel free to change it again when your name change limit expires.

Thank you

Ye gods, does no one read the actual warnings...
The problem wasn't that you posted something "someone else already did" - it was that you posted something made with a doll-maker type application, as that's not allowed on the corner. ^^

Ohhhhh also I'm only 11 and well I'm kinda bad a t reading lol

There aren't any, the rules regarding legendaries apply only to the RP boards~

PrincessPika is correct, although she is also overstepping her non-existent authority and should let actual staff members answer the questions of members rather than mini-mod.

oh, ok

Well that's a bit of a situation, then... And I'm actually not sure what to say. Obviously, other players can't force a kill on your character as that would be technically considered autoing - and you can't really neutralize any of them specifically and make a break for it because that would be autoing THEM.

What you - and the other RPers - need to do is actually communicate and discuss this matter among yourselves and actually figure out a solution. What RP even IS this?

Hypothetical, but thanks for letting me know.

Yeah, I mostly meant just talking about it or using it as a point of mention in dialogue, or within the lore of an RP. I was just curious.

Until the games are released, Galar and anything related to it may not be used in RPs, as anything you might have on the region is speculation and/or partial information which may be contradicted thoroughly by canon.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm not sure what Hazbin Hotel is, but excessive violence and/or gore for the hurr-durr-lol-random is best kept to other communities.

@Philucifer you're wrong. in hazbin hotel there are massacres because of overpopulation.

RP settings do not work like the games do. Pokedex completion does not require catching Pokemon (Pokedex entry writing would actually likely be the job of legitimate researchers rather than dumb children doing unpaid labour), and the average trainer is unlikely to ever encounter an actual legendary pokemon in their entire life, let alone actually catch one. So yeah, no.

Okay, thank you for the feedback

afraid so. you might have to recreate them in a more simple form, but game screenshots are still not your work.

So a direct copy is off-limits, but a recreation would be alright?

in this case yeah.

Edited bases are a bit of a grey area in the RP forums - although I'd say that the same rule regarding bases in the Creative Corner should apply - so long as the edits are yours and you provide a link to the original base as posted by its original creator, they should be okay.

Awesome, thanks!

I've had that question asked before, and the answer is typically that in order to mimic something, pokemon like Zorua usually need to have encountered it before, which suggests a previous encounter with said Legendary. Such an encounter wasn't approved and so this really should not be done.

Mimicry of such from an impression or stories or second-hand accounts would likely to be inaccurate and not really fool anyone.

I understand. Thank you for taking the time to answer my silly little question.

That is exactly what it is, yes. I put it together Several Billion Years Ago when the Meet the Team videos were still slowly materializing and it amused the everloving frell out of me, so I kept it. xD

Done. ^^

Ah, I see. To be honest, I'm not really one for small talk either, not because I don't have the time, I simply feel a long chat is a good way to relieve stress. Regarding your dislike for small talk on forums, I totally agree. They are meant for roleplay! Not off-topic chit-chat!

Well, the RP boards are meant for roleplay, obviously other boards have their own purposes. But I get what you mean. XD

Haha ^^

Essentially - age is no excuse for bad behaviour, but I've seen young children whom we've had no problems with at all and grown adults that couldn't stop getting in trouble and had to be launched. Depends on the person and their behaviour. ^^

Ok thx

I was worried since I read the rules

Among what things?

Among the multitude of other things I do. Is there a point to this?

I just want to know the admins. better? That`s all.

I read the rules but didn’t notice the present tense part

And I thought it would be fine since I don’t have a mega stone

Thank you!

Typically it's whatever staff member sees the request first and has the time to handle it and usually it doesn't take all that long unless we're all unavailable for a wider stretch of time.

Either way I approved yours now that I saw it. ^^

Ah, thanks Stellar! ^^

Profile pictures aren't as restricted as many other things are - the main rule honestly is the bounds of good taste. Remember, however, that some artists for instance do not like their stuff being used without their permission - and if we receive a complaint or find an avatar by a particular artist who is known to not permit use of their work, we will remove it. ^^

@StellarWind Elsydeon Good to know. Thanks!

I kinda am still waiting a response on this, as I do want to create more stories and post them here, but I'm unsure on what levels of violence and gore should be avoided.

I'm honestly not sure what to respond with. I'd say that if the degree of gore and/or violence is high enough for you to warrant asking that then maybe it's best saved for AO3 or something instead? <<

Well XD Yea, that's a thing. But I do have an idea of how much I'm willing to show. I won't do things like torture, but I'm talking about something being eaten alive in some graphic detail, but probably not to the point of detailing what organs the creatures are eating. xD

You might want to read the RP forum rules - and our global rules in general - before posting anything. I had to remove your attempted thread because aside from the use of art that is not yours and the fact that you're essentially trying to put together a tabletop game in a decisively not-tabletop environment... Yeah.

ah, gotcha. thanks for your time.

With a large wrench and with extreme prejudice.

In all seriousness, I'm not exactly the right staff member to ask re: technical issues - that's what we have @Teapot for. ^^ But you'd probably have to be a bit more specific about the nature of the issue than just saying "It's broken". xD

Mmk thanks for the info

Read the rules. They explain everything.

Ahhh, thank you for clarifying. I shall keep an eye out for that then. XD

But having a character make some snarky internal commentary about something? That's not so much fourth-wall-breaking as just... thought processes. Deities know how many times I found myself referring to a creature that evolved completely through natural selection in the real world as "Atrociously designed", for instance. xD

Like giraffes giving birth standing up so the babies have a pretty sizeable drop falling out. XD

Yusa, I think

Done. ^^

Thank you so much^^

Another way, if you still haven't a clue, is go to the person's profile and look above their profile picture where it should say 'Start a Conversation' and either 'Follow' if you hadn't followed them yet or 'Unfollow' if you are following them.

@Merciless Medic It wasn't appearing before, but somehow it is.

Maybe you had to be online for a certain amount of time for that to pop up. Yea, that happens. If I recall correctly, the minimum time limit is 20 minutes or something like that. I think it was to stop bots or the like from spamming convos with people.

There's an edit button on conversation messages.

Ok I’ll try that

While you're trying things, I also recommend you read our rules, and kindly stop reporting people for things that are not violations of our rules. Cussing is not a rule violation.

If your rules are so important you should have explained why. It seems to me that the reason you have the legendary rules is more personal, you don't like seeing the cancerous RPs where the charactors are super powerful have have a team of 6 legends. Honestly, I get you on that, I have seen that plenty of times before. But to me, freedom of expression is far more important.

Age is irrelevant. The lessons you take from something could be all the wrong ones. 16 years doesn't make you right, it only brings you closer to that.

Anyhow, I get where your coming from, but if you're tired of explaining it, then I suggest you add the reasoning into the rules themselves.

Honestly, if we start giving people openings to bend the rules you can be absolutely 100% certain some people would exploit it, so naturally we kind of have to be wary of that.

... That said, even within the incredibly dubious canon of Pokken itself, Synchro Stones and their shenanigans are fairly limited in a sense that the charges take a while to build, require perfect sync between Pokemon and trainer, and the transformations are very short lived, and the stones themselves only work within the Ferrum Region itself.

... Tell you what. Provided any Ferrum-specific nonsense remain exclusively in Ferrum (and not spill out into RPs taking place within any main Pokemon canon) and under the caveat that these Synchro Burst Megas aren't "proper" Mega Evolutions as it were - and are as short in duration as they are in the real thing - I suppose they could be possible for species that actually have them.

Is it like a month time period where reports should be made and never over that time limit?

Also another question. What made the addition to the "can't share a profile" rule happen?

Smash is a really dumb setting to RP in the first place - but all the characters in it are literally sentient toys of some capacity and so long as the smash shit is restricted to its own dumb universe, it has very little bearing on anything.

It's a bit silly to try to get into arguments of balance and rarity in a setting where some of the fighters are literal gods and one of them is KIRBY.

XD Yea, you're right. XD Was just wondering though, so thank you for answering my question.
