MERIT POINT (MP) SYSTEM



AN ADAPTED VERSION OF THE MERIT POINT SYSTEM will be deployed and tested in this raid event.[break][break]

IN THE FUTURE, the faction with the highest MP will control specific territories. However, in this event, MP is used to hit certain thresholds for particular outcomes. Although not available for this event, in the future, the total amount of Merit Points put into a faction's fund can be used to redeem rewards for everyone who has participated and/or donated.[break][break]

Below are ways to earn MP during PAAA. These values are subject to change; however, they have been calculated by Spiral and I considering a variety of factors (playstyles of players, possibilities of unfinished threads, etc.).

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • 10 MP for a SURPRISE ATTACK against a character (exclusive to those who succeeded on a stealth roll).
  • 10 MP per IC post in a spin-off thread.
  • 10 MP for assisting another character and/or their Pokemon.
  • 10 MP for knocking out another character and/or their Pokemon.
  • 50 MP for getting your Pokemon knocked out.
  • 100 MP for completing a battle.
  • 50 MP for participation in a battle.
  • 150 MP for winning a battle.
  • 200 MP for tying a battle.
  • 300 MP for losing a battle.
  • 200 MP for pokemon death (does not stack with KO).


Furthermore, the MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF MP a character can contribute to their respective warfront is 1000 MP. This is to prevent lopsided contributions due to people's availability, roleplay styles, reflecting NPC contributions, and more.


FAQ / PVP HELP


BELOW, frequently asked questions and their answers have been provided. Click on the SPOILER tag to reveal the questions.[break][break]


WHY DO LOSSES PROVIDE MORE POINTS THAN WINS? HOW WERE THE NEEDED TOTALS DETERMINED?


One reason why losses provide more points to alleviate or balance particular tensions in roleplay OOCly and ICly such as ego and point gain. However, the values have been determined after consider the playstyles of participating players, their activity, and the number of League vs Rocket.[break][break]

Remember, there are other ways to gain points in your threads apart from the outcome of a battle. Furthermore, you can consider the invisible contributions of faction NPCs such as officers, rangers, and grunts fighting alongside your characters on the battlefield.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IN BATTLE?


A Pokemon battle can be a traditional combat between two Pokemon and their trainers. However, you can consider the following to spice your combat up:

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • varying the number of Pokemon out on the field (2v2, 3v1, etc.).
  • using the environment (using cover, throwing objects, causing obstructions).
  • every post does not need to have a pokemon battle element to it. consider pauses in battle for dialogue, reflection, etc.
  • consider varying the environment of battle (e.g. on a rooftop, in the sky, during a chase).
  • your characters may attempt to physically attack each other.
  • any weapon use must be okayed with your rp partner; however, remember, pokemon are always more effective than humanmade weapons.


WHAT CAN A WIN LOOK LIKE?


Apart from defeating your opponent's Pokemon, "winning" can encompass a variety of narrative beats. For example, securing or sabotaging an objective, stealing a prized possession, triumphing over another's philosophy/taking a higher moral ground, etc.

WHAT CAN A LOSS LOOK LIKE?


Losing can encompass a variety of narrative conclusions. Apart from all or some of your characters' Pokemon fainting, one can consider options such as retreat, being unable to escape, becoming too injured to carry on.

WHAT IF MY RP PARTNER DEFAULTS/GHOSTS/AFKS?


If your RP partner has defaulted on you, staff will judge the battle and its posts. Additional points to the player may be awarded depending on the circumstances. If your RP partner has defaulted on the second post, then a replacement will be looked for.[break][break]

If your RP partner has not posted in 3 DAYS, please let me know.

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT MY CHARACTER'S IDENTITY TO BE GIVEN AWAY?


"Wear a mask."

I'M HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY RP PARTNER. WHAT DO I DO?


First, give them the benefit of the doubt and try to communicate with them. If communication does not work, message staff and we will try to mediate or deliberate on an issue or outcome.



RULES / GUIDELINES



GENERAL RULES



PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES. A more comprehensive list of rules will be published in each event thread. These rules are also subject to change.[break][break]

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • MP threads during PAAA must have a minimum of 5 POSTS to count as a COMPLETED BATTLE.
  • You are not confined to raid battling limitations for these threads (e.g. you can use more than one move per post, etc.).
  • After you finish a battle, you may participate in another spin-off thread with another character that is available.
  • More than two characters can be in one spin-off thread; however, characters must reach 5 posts each to be able to receive MP for a COMPLETED BATTLE.[break][break]

    In these threads, WINS, LOSSES, or TIES can either be assigned per faction (e.g. League win; Rocket loss) or on an individual basis (e.g. in a thread involving four people, there are two winners, two losers, with varying faction allegiances).
  • For this event because Team Rocket is lower in number, they are allowed to participate in TWO MP THREADS at the same time. However, the involved players must sort the chronology/timeline of your first and second thread first.
  • A Pokemon death requires consent from the all involved players.
[break][break]

These rules are SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

[break][break][break][break]

PVP-CENTRIC GUIDELINES


THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES are focused on the player versus player aspect. These rules have been created to ensure the smoothest running of this event from my side and to keep into account, the enjoyment of all roleplayers and of the hobby itself.[break][break]

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • Avoid godmodding, meaning taking control of another player's character or Pokemon during roleplay. This is sometimes called powerplaying. Examples and tips can be found here: FORUM ROLEPLAY: POWERPLAY.[break][break]

    POWERPLAYING INVINCIBILITY can be committed in various ways: an unwillingness to get hit and an unwillingness to miss.
  • Unless plotted out beforehand, it ICly makes sense, or your character and their Pokemon have been outstrategized or outsmarted entirely, try to allow some GIVE AND TAKE in your battles. This means, battles should have highs and lows, hits and misses, for all involved. Characters and their Pokemon are not perfect.
  • I will NOT TOLERATE complaints revolving your IC-opponents' perceived levels of power, disparity of power, a player's experience in battle RP and more.[break][break]

    Even if they are seasoned trainers ICly, possess legendary or mythical Pokemon, or are avatars, you can still create meaningful narratives in this event and your threads. You and your characters are not helpless.
  • If you find your ego being bruised or anxiety rising to a level you can not manage, there is no shame in FORFEITING or LEAVING THE EVENT.
  • Considering parameters set by particular past mediations and social contracts, I will NOT TOLERATE OOC drama/relationship complications/conflict disrupting the event.[break][break]

    I will REMOVE PLAYERS who instigate or dwell on it OOCly. Inevitably, your characters will be in the same areas. You must let go and move on.
  • If you need assistance with battle RP, progressing conflict narratives in creative manners, etc., feel free to ASK FOR HELP! You can do this in Discord or through a private message to me, .
  • Mod deliberations are final.
