What in the world is going on?:
- Trainers have been disappearing all over the world via strange portals appearing throughout each region. Many have reappeared however, and explained the strange happenings. The portals are leading to the Distortion World, a place where time itself seems to have stopped, and the laws of space have no meaning. Feel free to explore this new strange area, and be aware that the rules have changed, but be careful. This alternate dimension is unstable. We've heard that is will only be lasting for one month, which means that after April 30th, all portals will be closing, so it's best that you don't stick around after that.
In the Distortion World, the laws of physics don't apply, and that's not all. The systems of the guild are different here too! Take a look at some of the changes.
- EXP Change: Normally, the guild grants 1 EXP per post for each active party pokemon, however in the distortion world, EXP is now quantified by the number of words in your post. For every 100 words you write, each active party pokemon gets 1 EXP, so at 200 words, each active party member gets 2 EXP, at 300 words, 3 EXP, and so on. This stops after 1000 words however, meaning the max EXP you can get per pokemon per post is 10. Posts can have more than 1000 words in them, however the word limit for bonus EXP is 1000. If your post contains 199 words or fewer, each Active Party pokemon gets 1 EXP. Please note how many words are in your post somewhere in your post. The word count does not include coding and layout, only the words in your RP posts.
Pokemon, NPCs, and Items: Note the area that you entered the Distortion World from. Wild pokemon from the area will get sucked into the Distortion World with your character, allowing you to continue battling them as if you were still in that area. You may also still battle NPCs in the Distortion World, as other trainers will be getting thrown into the realm as well, just use the levels of the wild pokemon from the area your character was previously in. You may also continue to post for Area Specific Items from the area your character was previously in.
Battle Changes:
- -All Battles will be Inverse Battles
-Obedience Rules do not apply
-Lower level pokemon will move first
-Status altering moves will work in reverse, as if the pokemon using it has the ability Contrary. For pokemon who actually have the ability Contrary, status altering moves work normally.
Additionally, each character has the option to permanently shift their starter pokemon's badge ignoring obedience to any other pokemon on your team. You can still grant a pokemon obedience if you rejected receiving a starter pokemon from the lab or traded away your starter. Quote a mod in this thread and notify them of the obedience change upon your character entering the Distortion World.
FAQs:
Q: Can I enter the distortion world from anywhere?
A: Yes! The portals from the distortion world are random and appearing anywhere and everywhere. Just make sure you go to the right region.
Q: Do I have to make my character stay in the Distortion World after they enter?
A: No! Your character is free to come and go as you need. Just remember that the Distortion World's rules only apply when you post in this thread, and normal guild rules apply everywhere else.
Q: Can I post for Post Anywhere Items in the Distortion World too?
A: Yes you may.
Q: Do I need to make 3 movement posts to get in/out of the Distortion World?
A: No you don't! You are free to come and go as you please for the duration of the event.
Q: How do Lucky Eggs/Energy Drinks work for post EXP in the Distortion World?
A: They each add one EXP. If a pokemon is carrying a lucky egg, 199 words or less will get that pokemon 2 EXP instead of 1, 200-299 words will get that pokemon 3 EXP instead of 2, and so on.
