Well, here we are. It's been a couple days and people know what's going on so I won't get into those details rather the more important stuff, like the URPG.
When our Yahoo group was deleted, we lost everything and there was no possible way to retrieve lost information. We had a story competition going on at that time and that was ended without a winner because too many people lost their stories. Reffing and Grader wages were forgotten. The most important thing was to get the group back together and work from there.
The same applies here. Order needs to be taken into account before we get too far.
1) Temporary or not, we need to treat this place as if we are going to stay here forever. Moving back to PE2K is not the case right now and when the time comes, a decision will be reached on where this place will go to if it moves once again. (Personally, I thought if the URPG moved one more time, it would kill the activity...)
2) I don't care who you are, but find as many people from the URPG as you can. They can be an enemy, they can be your competition... find them. They would do the same to you. And it doesn't even have to be someone in the URPG; maybe a PE2K member needs somewhere to go. ;D
3) Since this is our forum now, we have a lot more freedom of boards and threads. The rules for the URPG are here, but we still need general Forum Rules for use. So those same forum rules from PE2K apply here.
Trainer's Stats
Stats are your responsibility and no one elses. I suggested in a Case before the deletion to save a copy of your stats. If you lost them, start over. Maybe you remember everthing except your money- guess but don't give more than you think. I look at stats enough and I can tell if somethings wrong. If someone can help someone else remember their stats, that would be nice.
Reffing/Grading Wages
Curtis mentioned what he is doing with Reffing wages. For grading, each Grader will recieve $1000 reguardless if they graded or not (excluding myself 'cause I know I didn't grade anything in that time).
Auction
Last I checked the auction was still running but almost over. If you remember who and what the last bid was, please feel free to post in this thread. If no body remembers, then we'll forget the auction and move on to another one.
Tournament
I know the tournament is delayed as much as it already is, but now it will be more. Not everyone is here yet so don't be asking me to declare you the winner of the match. More on this in the thread where the Tournament thread is.
Forum Battles
Let's hold off on these battles for a while. The purpose for the forum battles is for non-messenger people and special occasions to battle. We all have messengers I'm sure (how else would you be here) so let's leave the forum battling to a minimum. I've been thinking of limiting it to 1 battle per person just so I can get away from it and ref online for once. I want to ref online but hardly anyone did the forums so it was all left to me.
Elite Stats Thread
Do we really need that? I think it's kinda pointless
Other Chat
Glad it was made. I was going to do that without even asking
Advertisment
It will be hard to get new members, as some are already discussing. Try to advertise around when you can: other forums, friends, online games... whatever. This is the one drawback I also saw was a lack for new members joining.
Other
I'll be going around and rearranging/fixing/adding some things. I like organization and since we have a whole forum now, we're going to use it
This is a hard time, there is still work to be accomplished. Try to take things slow until we get our feet back on the ground. Work with each other and help the group as best you can. Still under construction, but that doesn't mean to stop. Just watch out for falling rocks I mean, have patience. Not everything will be set up in these couple days.
{I'm sure I forgot to mention something so I'll get to it later.}
