CONCLUDING AUTUMNAL ALIGNMENTS.

DECEMBER IS HERE! Remember, there is a lot on the way! Look at what we have ongoing, what is new, and more. I'll probably update this section with something more catchy or meaty.

• I. An ACTIVITY CHECK is underway! It will end December 4th, 12AM PST. Moreover, it is also a CANON ACTIVITY CHECK for those who possess canons— and we will be evaluating those positions for activity and varied collaboration throughout the coming months as the site narrative progresses.
• II. The UNOWN REPORT continues to be of use in the site narrative. Trainers continue to hunt Unown if they possess data from a MYSTERIOUS DEVICE in order to fill it with words.
• III. The REGIROCK RUINS RAID nears its finale! SPIRAL's raid has revealed dynamaxing as a possible phenomena in the Hoenn region. What other dangerous discoveries will this trip into the underground reveal?!
• IV. Several of Team Rocket's scientists continue a metal-based group project. Take a look at their sacrifices of steel-type Pokemon as they attempt to find new scientific discoveries in EXODUS.
• V. Bingo cards can not be completed anymore. However, redemptions for bingo can be done until December 7th, 11:59PM PST.
• VI. Just a reminder that TRADITIONAL GYM CHALLENGES should avoid having particular restrictions of usable Pokemon, moves, and abilities. However, bans on PERISH SONG and DESTINY BOND for gyms are allowed, for they can be used to speed through gym threads at a pace and manner we do not desire on this site.

WHAT IS THIS EVENT?

FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER-JANUARY, Hoenn will celebrate the holidays! As site raids continue, more events will help supplement the festive cheer. These events will be run by both staff and members. So, stay tuned for announcements in regards to that![break][break]

IN JANUARY, the event will continue with a second phase: as Hoenn flips to the next calendar year, will you risk it all for what you desire most?[break][break]

COMMUNAL CURRY

THE REVAMPED CURRY SYSTEM IS HERE! With many helpful ideas from FONZ, we have rebranded the curry system as a seasonal "event". In this new curry, each of your characters can submit one thread of particular significance to the pot. By the end, everyone who participates will receive rewards depending on the quality of the threads! This particular communal curry will be finished cooking on DECEMBER 31ST, 11:59PM PST.[break][break]

LETTERS TO FATHER WINTER

AROUND HOENN, never before seen flyers are stacked near convenience stores, newspaper stands, or posted on poles. They beckon readers to send letters filled with holiday wish lists to a mysterious "Father Winter." Will these desires truly be fulfilled?[break][break]

ONGOING EVENTS

[break]

AN AQUA ASSEMBLY PT. 2

THE SILVER SPIRE'S DESTRUCTION was collateral damage. The League now possesses the ANCIENT RUINS attached to the Sootopolan Temple, teleported by the odd dimensional power of PRIMAL ENERGY. Commissioner dahlia goode calls upon the A.Q.U.A. INITIATIVE and invites suspected AVATARS to explore these ruins... but the first question has to be asked: where have the ruins been teleported to? And what exists on the other side?[break][break]

GEOMANCY

A GARGANTUAN TREE teleported into Sootopolis City after the SILVER SPIRE had been warped away. Inside, a sprawling land exists: a paradoxical situation of the inside being bigger than the outside. As Team Rocket discovers a way to go deeper into the tree, they find that the TREE OF LIFE is not what it seems...[break][break]

YMCA RAID

EARIER THIS YEAR, the Ever Grande Church of Arceus was destroyed! Now, Bill Anderson has put the word out asking for some strong young trainers to come and help right this terrible wrong. Run by DBUG, this creepy, puzzle-filled raid is nearing its end! Read through and witness its terrifying conclusion.[break][break]

MIDNIGHT MASQUERADE

GUESS WHO! On a stormy October morning, you find a letter has been slid underneath your door. The envelope doesn't have a return address, and doesn't bear a postage stamp, seemingly having been hand delivered... In a guessing game of falsified identities and wits, players must guess which masked entity is which character! Run by BANISHED, take a gander at this beautifully creative event (sign ups are closed)![break][break]

EVENT LINK: SIGN-UPS ARE CLOSED.
