May News and Notices 2016 Empty
PostSubject: May News and Notices 2016   May News and Notices 2016 EmptyWed May 18, 2016 12:15 am

This is the news and notices thread that contains any and all updates and news for the month of May 2016!

To begin with I want to just say that I plan to do consistent monthly news threads where and when possible, so hopefully expect this to be a regular feature from this point forward. I intend for any future news thread to be posted on in the first few days of each month, and then to be updated or added to as the month goes on with any small updates, news or notices that won't need their own thread! ^-^


- General News & Updates -

Extra Move Slots - Price Poll!

A poll to decide on the pricing of the 2 possible extra move slots that were voted on back in April has been launched. Apologies for the delay as we have been very busy.

The poll is located ->here<- and will end on May 23rd. Be sure to vote whilst you can!
The results of the poll will be implemented from May 24th, and extra move slots will be available to purchase through the admin request thread from that date onward.

Administrator Nominations

This is just a brief notice to let everyone know that I will be opening nominations for a new administrator in the coming weeks. This notice is purely to let you all know so that you may consider who you might want to nominate for an administrator position (if anyone at all).

Nominations will not currently be accepted, but I will post a separate announcement when they are. When I open the nominations for a new admin, all nominations will be accepted by PM so that they are anonymous to other members of the forum.




- Current Sitewide Event -

As you may or may not be aware, the current sitewide event 'The Wake of Destruction' is still ongoing. (Main thread located ->here<-)
Arceus and Giratina still both have one out of three recruits, whereas Zygarde has none.

How can you participate in this event? Now that's a good question! Here's how!:

  • The battle for Mewtwo, Arceus's second recruit still rages on in Serene Cave and you can participate by rolling a Mewtwo encounter in that particular dungeon!
  • Zygarde's first recruit, Shaymin has been located in Misty Mire, but requires rescuing! In order to participate in freeing Shaymin, you must work to defeat any Muk, Gourgeist, Malamar and Reuniclus that you encounter in Misty Mire.
  • The clue for Giratina's second recruit can be found in the event thread, if you can work out what it is you need to do, you may just be rewarded...


Note that any who participate in dealing damage to Mewtwo, or defeating even a single opponent to help free Shaymin will be eligible to require the rewards offered for completing each section of the event! Similar is true for any other parts of the event; each user who actively participates and results in progression of the event will receive rewards.

If you happen to roll Mewtwo in Serene Cave, or defeat one of the above mentioned opponents in Misty Mire, please notify myself (@Solilo) or another administrator so that we can update the event thread!

A quick reminder that the escort rule can be utilised in any event related threads, as long as said thread is specifically marked as an Event Thread by the user posting it. The escort rule allows a character with higher energy to escort up to two extra characters to a dungeon that they would not normally be able to access due to the constraints of the energy system. It costs 5 extra energy per pokemon being escorted for the higher energy character to enter that dungeon, and any character that is being escorted will have 0 energy upon entering the dungeon and will have to replenish their energy with berries or other items.

It is wise to confirm with a staff member before using the escort rule, just to be safe. But the rule was always intended to help us be inclusive of newer members of the site who might want to explore the areas linked to site events but who have characters with low energy.




- Staff Changes & Updates -


New Name for Secretaries

First and foremost, I think it's probably worthwhile to note that after much discussion with various people on the site, we have come to the conclusion that it would be wise to change the name of the Secretary position. (These are the awesome people who evaluate and approve your character bios for those who aren't in the know!)

The proposed new name is Character Moderator, or CharMod for short. The colour assigned to them and their general role will remain the same. Only the name will be changing.

The new name will serve to make it easier for newer members to immediately know the role of the CharMods without having to look it up as they may have had to do for a vague name like Secretaries. Although, I must say personally I will probably miss the old name a little as it was chosen by our site's very first Character Mod. ^-^


Promotions and Other Staff Changes

First, I think it is appropriate confirm that @BlueKat12 has stepped down as an administrator. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all the hard work and effort she has put into running the site over the years, including helping get the energy system up and running, contributing day to day jobs of the site and much, much more. I cannot put into words how much of a dedicated presence she has been on the site for the last few years and although we've had our disagreements from time to time I am sad to see her leave. However, I wish her all the best and hope she still remains a member of PMD.

Moving on to newly promoted staff, I would like to congratulate @coaster3000, who has been promoted to the role of Head Moderator and @Lord E V who has been promoted to Head Character Moderator!

As a quick reminder, these are now the current heads of staff on the site;

@Solilo - Head Administrator
@coaster3000 - Head Moderator & Board Updater
@Lord E V - Head Character Moderator
@Silver - Head Record Checker


New Staff

This month we do not have any new staff, but I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that staff applications for the Character Moderator, Board Updater and Record Checker positions are all still open and can be applied for in ->this<- linked thread.

Please note that when applying to be staff, you must be of Member rank or higher (this means you have 250 posts or more on your account ^-^)

I'd also like to welcome @Dracorexion back to our staff team as he has resumed his previous position of Character Moderator.




- Other Notices -

Rules and Report Function

As per, here's your monthly reminder to keep yourself up to date with all of the site's rules! The rules board is located ->here<- and though we will usually notify when large rule changes take place, we do still make smaller edits without a big notice so it's worth re-reading them every now and again.

Finally i'd also like to remind everyone that in order to help staff and moderators do their jobs more easily, we encourage you to report any post in a thread that you see is breaking the site's rules by using the report button located on each post.

May News and Notices 2016 Icon_post_report This little icon is located by the Quote, Edit and Delete buttons of each post and upon clicking you can select a reasoning for the report, and write why you are reporting that particular post.

By doing this, we can more quickly and easily deal with posts that are breaking the rules as staff are notified of posts that are reported!


Birthdays!

Last but not least, I'll conclude this month's news thread by wishing a very happy birthday to the following users, whose birthdays are this month!

Pikashock
Evana
PsychicKitten
Demonicmuffin
(And me I suppose xD)
Solilo

Aaaah sorry Draco xD


Update!

Added a note about Draco being back on the Char Mod team

Also added a reminder about being able to use the escort system so that newer members know about it!

Edit: Lord E V noticed i'd made a mistake in the number of recruits each legendary had gained for the event and so i've also fixed that now to be correct. Giratina and Arceus have one recruit each, whilst Zygarde has none.
