Thought I'd make this thread to make it clear for all of us, how "Signing Up" into this National Park works. Before I begin, I want everyone to know that this is not solely/purely a Role Play you'd usually find around the Forums(Pe2k), but something that simply emphasizes its idea, and of course, rules are similar in the way. Please keep in tact that this is part of the URPG, and we wouldn't want it look like something else entirely. With that mentioned, here's what I think really matters/taken in account when each URPG Member is "signing up" for the Park.
Sign-Up Form :[/u]
Name : (This is given for)
Age : (This is not that important, but when it comes to RP'ing, the Ranger has a better sight of you when he/she marks how you RP. I've seen young people with very good RP skills, but this is just to make sure, give a better insight of you)
Gender : (You can't be both. You're either a guy, or a lass)
Personality : (Are you a mean/happy-go-lucky/sad person or anything along this lines. Doesn't have to be picture perfect, 2 lines would do.)
Money : (URPG Money you have at the point you're making this post)
RP Experience : New/Amateur/Experienced/Mastered (They can just circle the one of their choice. This will be a fact that should be taken into account. Simply, if you're new to this, Rangers who are newly recruited can attend them. And of course, better and more experienced Rangers can attend to those of higher class).
Pretty much, that's all the Important Fields[/u] that are needed, when you want to visit the Park.
What happened to the other options/etc?
Before you guys explode and ask me why have I not included the others, here are my reasons/explanation for it.
Appearance : (Like I said, this is not a pure Role-Play or any sort. This is part of the URPG, and this part of the field doesn't really seem necessary for me. Your appearance doesn't affect the RP in any way. No matter how tall/short, how handsome or average, you'd just want to have some fun in the park, capturing some Pokemon. The reason why I included Personality is simple. The way you behave inside the Park affects the Pokemon that you might encounter/capture. For ex. You're a softie who sees a damaged plant and put it aside, a Pokemon may come close to you with no fear and etc. You can imagine what happens if you're a rotten lil pesk who goes around destroying things with your Pokemon's move and so forth.)
RP Sample : (What on earth is this? This sounds more like a requirement than a need in the Sign-Up thread. We want all Members to participate and have fun inside the Park no matter how well/noobish they are in the fields of RP. They'll get better after every visit. Practice makes Perfect after all. Besides, the new field I enlisted, makes up for this one. However, we might need this when we're recruiting Rangers, that's a different topic.)
Point #2, We're not recruiting any Members into the Park, but it's something like how the Underground is initiated. "Visits". Then why am I telling there's a need for sign-up? Well, here are my reasons.
First time, for anyone, even if they are a staff of the URPG or such, they must do "Sign-Up", the way I've implemented above, or after you guys decide to revamp it and etc. After which, just like the Trainer Stats storage in the URPG, we can move their individual posts and archive them somewhere. It's to keep in track of how many times they've visited the Park, what Pokemon they have captured via the Park, and of course, the more times they've visited it, the more arduous it'd be for them to encounter rare species of Pokemon or so forth.
After which, when they visit the Park the 2nd time and so forth, they can just RP a line or two, and make the necessary payment required to enter the Park. So summarizing what I've said, its just a Sign-Up for the first time, then after which, it's just posting and paying the amount of money needed to enter the Park. So we can have a Sign-Up thread(stickied), since any new members may sneak up now and then, we might as well keep it opened always. After they've made their post there, they can automatically post their 2nd or visits after that in another thread(stickied) called "National Park Entry or something". Then a Ranger comes by, approves it, and then the RP between the both of them begins(in a separate thread).
Another suggestion I was thinking about, to prevent Members from sweeping almost every Pokemon off each area. How about that they can be restricted to one Location per visit. This is how it works actually. All they need to do, is to make a post on which Location they want to visit at that point of time they enter the Park. With the desired point taken down, the Ranger brings him/her to their designated location. They can't visit more than 2 locations in one visit, but they can alter every time they visit. So let's say I RP in the "Woods" for this day, I can RP in the Meteor Valley another day and etc.
Which also brings me to another Question. How many times can you exactly visit this place? Is it like the Underground where it's ONCE a month?(doesn't matter which day, but just once a month)
I think that's the end of my message of the day. Like I said, before you guys pile on me, I'd like to let you know. Even though it's a big thing on its own, the National Park is still a part of the URPG, and I want Everyone, Member or Staff, Strong/Weak, to be able to participate in this and have fun.
Feel free to post any of your suggestions/concerns/anything of regards to this. I'm also open to answer any questions that derive from this. Thanks^^[/font][/color]
