eight (text) ♊ it's the battle frontier!

[viiru2alert]

Hi boys and girls, it's Sollux again.

A while ago I threw up a post about some shit with battling and armbands, you know the one. Been mentioning a lot of shit about official rules and procedures for joining, what the fuck ever, and here they are.

~* RULES OF THE POKÉMON FIGHT CLUB *~

1. You do not talk about Pokémon Fight Club.

2. You do NOT talk about Pokémon Fight Club.

3. Everything outlined in this post (though not necessarily the comments under it) still applies.


4. As an optional thing, I've set up an email address you can contact if you want to be listed as an official 'member'. There are some nice benefits to this, including knowing what to do if someone tries to pull a fast one on you in a battle, so look below.

5. As an obvious extension of rule 4, don't try to pull anything, fucker. This should be a given especially considering how saccharine this place seems in general, but knowing some of the creeps who roam the seedier parts of the Johto-Kanto area... not so sure.


6. Don't wait for us to schedule your events for you. It's perfectly fine to throw up a message saying "Hey anyone want to have a PFC tournament in the Saffron Dojo this saturday?" or whatever. That's not to say we won't be doing it ourselves too, but don't be shy.

7. There are badges and armbands involved in this. You should be able to find them at some shops, but in case you can't, there's a pretty cheap website that sells those kinds of trinkets here: (blackthorntradingco.net). Alternatively, there are some people around who would be willing to do customs for you, maybe even free. Just ask around.




LIST OF IN-CITY BATTLING LOCATIONS.

Any battling ring approved by the Pokémon League -- the ones near your local Pokémon Center, for example.
In Kanto, Riku has offered up the facilities of his Training Center for use. Just ask him if you happen to run in with someone around Celadon.

PFC EMAIL.

There's an address I've created for this; it's (admin@pfc.pkgr). Now, there are a lot of uses for this email, so let's go through 'em slow.

1. membership. There is no mandatory sign-up for this, and there never will be any. However, in the event that we ever get any contests up and running here (most battles won with documentation or whatever), you will need to be signed up to participate in them, so if you like winning free stuff for being good at Pokémon, do it anyway.
1a. If you want to enter any contest involving a Pokémon battle, send us documentation. Have one of your Pokémon take a Gear video of the battle. If we can't confirm that this battle happened, it's not going to be counted.

2. questions or complaints. This is a weird fucking thing, I know, so all PFC questions can be redirected here. It's an email shared by several people, so you won't always get my darling responses. As mentioned above, this email can also be used to file complaints about anyone who's tried to abuse the system in any way, like pretending they have a lower-level team than they do or mugging you of your Pokémon or something. (Though in the latter case you might want to take it to the police first.) Give us all the information you have about them, including a tape of the battle, if you took one. Which you should have.

3. messages. Every so often, this thing may post to the PokéGear network with announcements or some other thing. Responses can come from admin or anyone else running this freakshow.

This post will also function as an FAQ of sorts, wherein questions we get via the email address will be put up as either rules or actual questions. These rules are subject to change at any time. Blah blah blah.

Thanks for your time.

THANK you.

[You... you may have to go out and hunt for him anyway, Aradia. This is pretty not ok.]

[timelymaid]

[ She's already doing that. He can probably tell by the way the irritated "fine :|" was the last thing to come from her, rather than more badgering or another response.

It's easier to just corner him physically. ]

[viiru2alert]

[She will find one (1) Sollux rolled up in a minorly unattractive position on a couch in the nearest Pokémon Center, Gear on his lap and staring vacantly at the ceiling.]

[timelymaid]

[ She will swat (1) Sollux on the side of the head as she leans over the back of the couch, frowning at him. ]

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux gives off one (1) unattractive yelp, and once he realizes who was responsible, he glares right back.]

You didn't.

[timelymaid]

It wasn't that hard. [ Since she'd never actually try to hurt him. ] Sollux, you're obviously not okay!

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux waves a hand and rolls over.]

Go away.

[Remind me how old you are again?]

[timelymaid]

[ Yeah, that's gonna work. Except not. She does stop leaning on the couch, but it's only to go around to the other side, shove his legs over a bit, and sit down. ]

I'm not going anywhere until you talk to me!

[viiru2alert]

[Fine. If you're going to push his legs around, he's just going to curl them up. SO HA.]

Hope you brought a book.

[timelymaid]

I brought my gear.

[ She's going to reread their conversation in the hopes this starts making sense, and/or in the hopes waiting him out will work. ]

[viiru2alert]

Great.

[Is he making a big deal out of nothing? Yes. Absolutely. But he's Sollux Captor, this should not be news.]

[timelymaid]

[ It's not news, but it is still mildly upsetting. So...talking about his birthday present, spamming emoticons, then the whole thing about the nonexistent chat symbol.

Which was where things kiiiiind of went downhill.

Jabbing him in the foot to get his attention now. She's so sympathetic. ] Sollux. Is this about the nonpale symbol thing?

[viiru2alert]

[In response to this, he waits a moment, then grunts. However, it's a pretty affirmative grunt, to his merit!]

[timelymaid]

[ Well, it's a start. His reward is an annoyed stare, though. ]

...Okay, I'm going to need more than that! Last time I checked we weren't in a quadrant, and spamming you with diamonds or hearts is therefore socially not okay.

[viiru2alert]

That's all it's ever going to be, though? Platonic friendship? [He spits out the words like they taste of poison.]

1/2

[timelymaid]

2/2

[timelymaid]

[ ...pfffffffft. ]

I didn't say that, and you didn't ask.
