RULES:
No God-Modding! Not every attack misses you, you cannot block every blow to your player.

Do not kill/injure another player's character without permission.

. Pay attention and read everything in a player's posts.

. Respect the GC's decisions in game.

. Plan ahead. If you want something specific to happen to your OWN character or with another character. Discuss it through PM or OOC comments.

. No force posting. Example: One player is "Bill" The other is "XMO" "Bill orders his snivy to use Razor leaf and it hits XMO's Tepig"
"XMO, let's trade!" Bill says, "My tepig for your snivy? Alright" XMO says.<Bills post
=XMO's post is him ranting about Bill saying lines for him. Therefor pissing him off.

. Don't forget your not superman. You cannot lift the two ton bolder to save someone.

. No pulling random items out of nowhere, you must buy an item from a pokemart or find it story wise, in your post.

. Hits in battle will be decided by a program that picks a number 1-10, if its 1-5 it misses, if its 6-10 it hits. I will do it to keep it fair.
I will check up often and will roll for every battle so no one cheats.

. Don't attack if someone does not wish to battle.

. Do not always avoid battles.
. Breaking any of the above rules will get you a PM with a warning. Next time you break a rule you will be banned from the
RP.
. Do not try to control battle, as i said above i will roll to keep it fair.
. A crit can only happen if the other trainers pokemon is weak to your pokemons type.

Final rule: Have fun.

-Gym leaders-
Gym leaders have a small set of rules:

. Cannot refuse challenge's unless something important is happening to give a reason to refuse.
. Remember, your number speaks for your skill. 1-8 scale easy to hard.
To become a gym leader send me a PM with your gym number (1 to 8) and the pokemon type for your gym. Gym leaders make the towns they're gym is in


-Elite four-
Elite four has the same rules as the gym leaders. 1-4 rank for the elite 4. 4 being the strongest.
Send a PM about your elite 4 rank (1-4) and pokemon type.

-Team Ragnarok-

-Commanders-
there is only 3 commanders in the RP. They follow the orders of the boss(See below) they also have rules:
. Cannot refuse orders from The boss unless the commander plans to become a traitor.
. Commanders cna order grunts, but grunts cana lso become traitor (See traitor below)

-Boss-
Only 1 team Ragnarok boss. This person is very important so i wish for someone who's willing to be an evil pokemon gang leader to
be this person. Of course you have to follow these rules:
. Bosses can order anyone in team Ragnarok.
. Bosses can chose targets of other team Ragnarok members.
. Bosses may make any Commander a boss if they wish to quit the RP. This leaves a commander slot open for other people.
. Bosses may NOT be god-like. He may be the leader but he isn't a very powerful trainer.
-----
-Traitor-
Anyone may become a traitor sometime in the story. If its a trainer he/she can backstab fellow trainers and join team Ragnarok.
Gym leaders can become Traitors and work for team Ragnarok.
Grunts/Commanders may become traitors.
Rules to traitors:
. Do not go traitor for no reason at all. Give some reason.
. Traitors cannot rejoin whoever they backstabed.
. Traitors can become traitors to multiple people, but will never be welcomed back to any group.

Post bios here, after we get a few players you will find a RP topic in the Role Playing section.

Hey welcome to the RP section BN.

Just a few things I thought should get cleared up in your signup.

First: Are we allowed to grab a title for gym leader, elite four, etc? You don't exactly go into much detail in the intro, but you have those listed under Occupation.

Second: Which random number generator are we using? And who is responsible. Are you going to moderate each fight, or is it in the hands of the player to report their role?

Also check out the previous Pokemon RP we've had before. It died, but it's a good place to see what sort of things work and what things don't work.

Otherwise signup and everything looks good. I'll put up a profile when I get it together.

I'm about to spend some time editing this, i was pretty tired when i made it.
EDIT: Finished.

Alright, the signup addresses my concerns, but now it's hard to read. Might want to reconsider the spacing between paragraphs, and sections and whatnot.
Intro bleeds into the character sheet. Rules need to be seperate from the gym-leader section. Put a space between gym leader, elite four, team Ragnorok, etc, so it doesn't look like one continuous thing.

Alright just edited it again.
