This event will be open for signing up for a week. Those who sign and are participating in the event will have a week to catch as many pokemon as possible the trainer with the most points wins. Base stage pokemon = 1 point. Evolved pokemon = 2 points. While fully evolved pokemon = 3 points. While pokemon with only one stage remain at one point. To keep it fair to all students Laz and Van will not be allowed to participate for the simple fact that they are both way OP and wouldn't even give the competition a chance. Sage's Ninetails is not allowed either. The prize of winning the contest is one the trainer can pick one pokemon out the pokemon he/she caught, or the trainer can risk it all and fight a random pokemon at 1.5x strength. The trainer has to fight and catch this pokemon. While if trainer fails he/she will not get anything.
All credit and/or shit goes directly to Ven for this was directly his idea.

Im In ! And I assume that Laz is modding the 1.5 poke.
Edit: Wait a sec, Eros is right... Who's modding all the threads ._. And no it wouldnt be fair to those who cant get on as much.

I have a few true/false questions...
So first of all:
1. only if you catch more pokemon then anybody else do you get to keep anything. (I'm assuming true?)
2. if you choose to fight the x1.5 pokemon, then you have to keep that only that one.

one false you are only going to keep one of the pokemon you catch if you choose to. and yes if you decide to try for the 1.5 pokemon then you lose the choice to pick a pokemon from the pokemon caught the event is just to see who can catch the most poke in a week but you can only have 1 poke from the Pokemon you caught

I have a couple of questions:
1) In the safari, you can't use Pokemon anyway. Why should Van and Laz be banned?
2) This seems seriously un-doable; at least in the way you've presented it. Who's going to mod all of those threads? And based on mod schedule, some people simply will not be replied too as frequent as others. |

Okay Eros. The real name of the event is a capture contest. Whenever I talked to it with Laz. He liked it and said that it reminded him of Safari. It doesn't mean whether it is or is not.
Hmmm Well we would need a Mod that is active to mod all of the threads. And I guess the rules were not included. A rule is, only one of your characters can enter. Since Raize over there has two characters. He has to choose between Raize or Claire entering. And it's basically a giant endurance battle. To see how long you can go before you have to give up or quit. As for the mod... I have no idea.

Okay. Well you called it a Safari Event, which lead me to believe banning Van and Laz was unfair. You should be careful with your naming next time 
And I still see finding a mod a problem. Laz is in a different timezone and the rest of us have school/work. Just saying. |

Everyone could actually be in one thread, in the Hell Plains. We're all in different places though. One mod can mod everyone at once.

one false you are only going to keep one of the pokemon you catch if you choose to. that does not answer my question... My question was: Does only the person who actually WINS the contest get to keep a pokemon? |

Everyone could actually be in one thread, in the Hell Plains. We're all in different places though. One mod can mod everyone at once. Then you'd have to put a serious limit on the people entering the contest. It's hard to mod a thread with multiple participants, especially if they aren't all on the same page. |

yes rix you can i ether choose one pokemon from the pokemon you caught or risk it all and fight a 1.5 random pokemon but if you fail catching the 1.5 pokemon you get nothing its a high risk high reward thing but yeah i think we should make it a survival that way we can have one mod mod the hole thing

Sounds awful.
1) Whoever can spam the most captures wins
2) Whoever is ICly the most bloodthirsty, attacking Pokemon of any personality left and right wins
3) Only the winner actually gets ANYTHING at all
4) The winner could already have a favour-level Pokemon and can win a second
5) Whoever basically can get online the most has the best chance since as long as the mod is also on they can just keep going and going and going
6) The randomness of rolls can mean someone who has the most captures will actually lose out to someone who by some miracle gets nothing but FE'd Pokemon
7) Even if Laz, Van and Sage were unbanned only Laz would actually be any threat, due to Van and Sage (as far as I know) having reduced activity. Laz I get due to being able to 1HKO just about anything he fights but, still, exclusion isn't a nice thing
8)
Under that I get less points for defeating a Lucario than I do for defeating a Butterfree...

1: Alright Tyler let's see how many captures you can get in one mod thread.
2: Yeah that happens but isn't exactly the best thinking idea.
3: Get over it, it's supposed to be fun.
4: IF The trainer with a Favor level pokemon actually WON
5: It's an activity thing. Naturally more activity means better results.
6: Okay Smart one. Let's see how many Fully Evolved Pokemon You can fight and be completely up to snuff.
7: I know exclusion isn't a nice thing but that what makes it fair.
8: That's the rules. Get over it.

5 at best if I capture everything I encounter. If Pokeballs are unlimited for the sake of this event then captures are unlimited until all Pokemon faint or I get forcibily removed from the thread by the mod (which has happened to me twice so yeah it does happen). What it means is if someone finds a crying Caterpie, while one trainer would ICly help it the other will just capture it and move on. It encourages IC-douchebags. So if everyone finds something they actually want, like really badly in their threads, and then they lose, they lose that Pokemon? And that's fun.... how? People with favours have the best chance of lasting the longest  Though some people live in entirely different timezones as well and might struggle to match up with the mods. Beating 3 FE'd and then losing > Capturing 9 base stagers OR 9 single-evo Pokemon. So as long as you can get rolled a FE and aren't weak enough to lose to it, you're got a good chance of victory overall. Not a big deal here just more pointing out life ain't fair to begin with, otherwise I wouldn't have started with a Wooper DX I thought this was the planning thread not the "this event is going up soon" thread, my bad. But yeah I totally don't get the logic of capturing a Dewgong being worth less than capturing a Metapod... ..... I dunno if I'm the only one that noticed either, but this event made by Ven also suits Ven's capture style very well too (see the Sandshrew capture if anyone needs proof). |

Actually, this is still the planning thread. Ven/Speedy, it would be best if you took some of this criticism and tried to tweak your guidelines to the contest. As it stands, I still don't think I'd give this event my approval; I can't speak for the other admins, though.
I can remember an event in the games that was almost like this. That thing in the park where you try to catch the best Bug pokemon, remember? An event where you catch the best Pokemon > an event where you catch the most Pokemon. Honestly, I don't think you see just how big of a problem the matter of having an on-duty mod presents. I'd be willing to work with you guys on trying to help construct a similar contest thing, but this basis of this one is a foundation that I just don't think will work. |
