Tempest of Eternity Tempest of Eternity is a Forum Text Based Pokémon RPG. Trainers can raise Pokemon, go on adventures, and try to become a Pokemon Master! Events and situations are created in individual zones and shops. Each zone is unique in terms of what Pokemon can be found and what adventures will take place. Zones are run by Zone Managers who decide your fate. General Rules :: Respect: Always treat other members how you would want them to treat you. Due to past problems a new punishment system has been introduced. If you cannot respect other members you will be banned. Warnings are issued first, but if you continue to ignore them, temporary bans will be put into place. If you return and still continue to disrespect others you will be permanently banned, no questions asked. :: Double Accounts: If we discover you have created another account just to receive more Pokémon, items and adventures you will not only lose your second account, but there is a good chance you'll lose your primary account as well. With ZM shortages always a problem within ToE it is extraordinarily unfair for one member to be receiving multiple updates when the position your secondary accounts create could be going to others who want to join ToE but can't because registration needs to close on a regular basis. It's unfair on ToE staff and to others wishing to join ToE. :: Siblings: If you have a sibling or family member who wishes to join ToE you must let us know BEFORE they sign up. Our Registration IP checks sometimes reveal identical IP Addresses causing us to believe those new registrations to be double accounts. As a result they are immediately denied without question. To avoid this, we must be aware of their relationship to you so that we can pass them through without any trouble. This does not mean you can lie about having a family member wishing to join when it's only you making another account. This has happened before, but everyone slips up at some point and we will be watching very carefully if we so much as suspect there is no second family member. If you are discovered to have lied about it, not only will you lose your second account, but your primary account as well. Once again I reiterate that it is not fair on ToE staff or other people wishing to join ToE for us to be providing one person with multiple adventures. Those positions can be going to people who genuinely want to join ToE but can't because your second accounts are denying them the opportunity. :: Banned Members: When Registration opens there never fails to be at least one banned member trying to re-enter ToE under a new username. Most of the time we do catch onto them and they're immediately denied access, but should anyone slip by us they will eventually be found out. It doesn't matter how long you've slipped under the radar, or what your current position is within ToE, even if you're a ZM, ZA, Shop Owner, or Mod, if we find you've re-registered using another name you'll be immediately banned from ToE. The deception alone is reason enough for us to enforce this. :: Time Zones: This will probably cause a good bit of trouble, so just to let everyone know, ToE runs on Central time. Seeing as most shops are only open/updated on Wednesdays, you need to plan accordingly! Getting Started When signing up to Tempest of Eternity, you will need to post in the Registration Thread with specific details regarding your ToE Character. Your Trainer Name, Starter Pokémon, and any miscellaneous information you wish to include goes in the reply box. When choosing your Starter Pokémon you are not restricted to the Starters of any of the Pokémon games. You can pick almost any Pokémon you want with the exception of those listed below and they must be in their starting form (i.e. not evolved Pokémon). Your starter will have a gender (if it has one), and be at level 5. They have no Egg, TM, HM, or Advanced Moves. They only have their natural level-up moves starting from level 1-5. Restricted Pokemon: :: Fossil Pokémon (Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Lileep, Anorith, Cranidos, Shieldon.) :: Shiny Pokémon :: Shadow Pokémon :: Evolved Pokémon :: Legendary Pokémon (Mew, Celebi, Mewtwo, RBY Birds, GSC Birds, GSC Dogs, R/S Regi's, Latios, Latias, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, Uxie, Mespirit, Azelf, Palkia, Dialga, Heatran, Regigigas, Giritana, Cressila, Phione, Manaphy, Darkari, Shaymin, Arceus.) :: Rare Pokémon (Listed Below) Rare Pokémon: Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Lapras, Lickitung, Porygon, Dratini, Larvitar, Tyrogue, Eevee, Bagon, Beldum, Castform, Absol, Feebas, Spiritomb, Gible, & Rotom. When you post in the Registration Thread you will follow the instructions given in the first post. If you did not follow the rules in selecting a Starter, no test will be sent to you until you correct it. The Registration Test: Don't let the word "Test" deter you. In the past, many people signed up to ToE without having a clue as to what we're all about. They didn't read rules or instructions in any threads and as a result made mistake after mistake which caused a lot of stress not only for us, but for them as well. The Registration Test was designed for one purpose only, and that is to give you, as a prospective new member, the chance to look around and gain the basic knowledge you will need when it's time to begin posting. The last thing any new member wants is to be doing to wrong thing, and the last thing we want, as ToE staff, is to be pulling people up on mistakes. It's embarrassing for you, and uncomfortable for us. The test is designed to HELP you, not to deter you, so please keep this in mind when you receive it - it's not as bad as it looks at first glance. Once you pass the Registration Test you will be able to select a Starter Pack of your choice, and begin posting in shops and zones. ToE Training Zone: All new members will begin their adventures in the Wispherian Realm. This zone was initially designed for two purposes. The first was to delay the influx of new members into mainstream zones to give ZA's the opportunity to work out how many more updatees they can take, and the second is to give new members the chance they need to practice their roleplaying skills. ZA's in general aren't too fond of new members in ToE simply because of the multitude of mistakes posted in the zones and their unwillingness to deal with them. Whoever is in charge of your updates in the WR will comment on changes you can make to improve your replies so that ZA's don't need to worry about that. When your WR updater feels you are ready to enter mainstream zones they will let you know so that you can move on. By this time you will have had zone experience and ZA's will be looking forward to updating you rather than being hesitant about it. Battle & Capture A battle can occur whenever you run into a Pokémon. Your Pokémon can use any move it has ever learned. It is not restricted to the 4 Moves as it is in the game. Thus, a level 15 Butterfree can use Tackle, String Shot, Harden, Confusion, Poisonpowder, Stun Spore, and Sleep Powder while a level 30 Butterfree can use Tackle, String Shot, Harden, Confusion, Poisonpowder, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, Gust, Supersonic, Whirlwind, Psybeam, Silver Wind, and Tailwind. Whenever a Pokémon is KOed, the Pokémon that participated in the KO will gain 1 Level. If there are multiple Pokémon battling against a single Pokémon, the level distribution will be decided by the updater and the updater alone. Their decisions are final. If you wish to capture a Pokémon, you may capture it after it has been KOed. KOing a Pokémon will increase the likelihood of the capture. Various Poké Balls will also alter the chance of capturing it. Pokémon at their most basic, non-baby form may be captured. Thus, you can only capture a Weedle, not a Beedrill. You also cannot capture a Legendary Pokémon. Any Legendary Pokémon you run into are for the purpose of the storyline only. Any attempt at throwing a Poké Ball at it will always backfire. Some Zone Managers are very creative and use Fictional Pokémon. These cannot be captured either. Signatures: Signatures are not to be posted in the Registration Thread, shops, or special giveaway events. Signatures can sometimes be quite large meaning that small posts can be hidden in between two posts that have quite large sigs. For this reason they are BANNED from the shops. If your signature consists of team stats it can be posted in zones because your updater will often need to refer to your team stats while they're updating you. If your signature isn't posted in a zone along with your reply, then a link at the very least will be needed so that your updater will have a direct access to your Member Post when needed. Technical Machines (TMs): TMs are very different from the game. Any Pokémon can use a TM. Thus, if you find one, you may teach that move to any Pokémon you own. You are not restricted to just Pokémon who can learn it. Please try to be logical though - teaching Ice Punch to a Qwilfish is a waste of a TM as a Qwilfish has no hands and is therefore unable to form a fist with which to punch. Hidden Machines (HMs): HMs are slightly different from the TMs. There are 2 types of HM Moves. There are those that are known without training and those that must be taught. The Moves that do not require training are: Surf, Fly, Waterfall, Dive, & Whirlpool. Only Pokémon who learn these moves can use them. A Pidgey will automatically have the Fly move. A Tentacool will know Waterfall from the moment it is caught. A Slowpoke does not learn Waterfall, thus cannot use it. Moves that require training are: Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, Rock Climb and Defog. Only Pokémon who can learn these moves may be taught the moves. To teach them to your Pokémon, drop them off in Training Center for one full week per move learned. Zones: The adventures that you are going to embark upon in Tempest of Eternity will take place in specialist zones catering to specific environments and are posted on the main page of the ToE forum. There is one rule to posting in zones though, and that is you'll need to reply to your updates with a minimum of four lines. If you post less than four lines there is a high likelihood of being skipped until you have edited your post. This rule is enforced entirely at the discretion of your updater. Normally, there are several zones reflecting the type of Pokémon in each one. The Zone Managers (ZM's), and Zone Assistants (ZA's), are those who determine what will happen to you. You respond to what happens and so on. Some zones have their own rules so be mindful of those as well. Remember: You can be in more then one zone at once. What happens in one zone does not effect the other zones other then your Pokémon levels or their moves. Zones: Zone Name | Zone Manager (Zone Assistants) Secret Bases: Ever feel the need to have a little place all your own? Look no further! Bring your coins and visit the Real Estate Agency, purchase yourself a plot of land in an area of your choice then buy a base which you will be able to decorate with items for sale in the Base Shop. Invite your friends, hold parties, or enjoy some quiet time, the choice is yours. Shops: ToE Shops are mainly used to train your Pokémon, though they do offer other facilities. Below are brief overviews of each shop, but please don't rely on these descriptions to base your knowledge upon. Each individual shop has a more detailed account of their purpose in their introductory post which is often more up-to-date than this thread. Pokemart - Buy various things such as Potions and Poké Balls. Gives everyone one free Rare Candy every Wednesday, but to obtain your free candy you will need to post in order to claim it during the Central hours. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Adoption Center - Occasionally someone will catch a Pokémon they don't have the room for or don't want. The Pokémon are dropped off into the Adoption Center and are removed from your party. If the Pokémon dropped off has been requested by another member, that member will have one week from the date it is dropped off before the Pokémon goes either to the next member who has requested it, or into general adoption where it will await a new trainer to pick it up and raise it. All Pokémon put up for adoption will lose any Egg/MT/Training Moves they already know, and will revert to level 1. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Daycare - Drop your Pokémon off on a Wednesday during Central hours and one week later your Pokémon gains one free level. Helps all those who have no damaging attacks in their early levels (such as Abra or Magikarp). Run by AiedailEclipsed. Egg House - After you've gotten more settled into Tempest of Eternity, you can go to the Egg House to pick up one of many various eggs. You must have caught at least one Pokémon in a zone in order to pick up an egg (Traded and/or Adopted Pokémon do not count as captures). One week after picking it up, the Egg will hatch into one of many Pokémon depending on the Egg type. You cannot receive another egg until 2 weeks after the hatching. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Shop-Of-All-Trades - Have useless items such as Shards, Shoal Items, Apricorns or Ash? They can be converted into Evolution Stones, Shell Bells, Poké Balls, or Flutes here but it requires more than Rare Candies and demand. Post a link to where you received your item and you will receive a riddle, set of questions, or puzzle depending upon the items you need converted. Complete your quest and you will receive the item. For Shard riddles, the answer is a basic Pokémon that you are required to obtain through capture or trade. Adopted Pokémon are not accepted. When you catch the right Pokémon and return it to the Shop along with it's level, gender and a link showing where you've obtained it, you will receive your Evolution Stone. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Cable Club - This is where people can barter and trade for Pokémon and other items. Find a person with something you want, or vice-versa, and you can set up a trade via PM/IM. Trading is a three step process, so please read the Cable Club's introduction post for full details. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Beauty Salon - Pokémon that require Beauty, Happiness or Friendship can come here for special treatments to help increase their Beauty Points. When a Pokémon has reached 10 Beauty Points, they may have the ability to evolve. For Pokémon such as Eevee who have the ability to evolve into one of two different Pokémon according to certain conditions in the game, you choose which Pokémon you would like it to evolve into. Beauty Points gained in the Salon have no effect on Contests, but they do effect the Tameness of your Pokémon. The prettier and happier they are, the more likely they are to love and obey you. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Training Center - Pokémon come to the Training Center to help them learn new moves. The Moves available in the Training Center are Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, Rock Climb and Defog. All Pokémon who can theoretically perform Fly, Surf and Waterfall will know these moves naturally. Training Center moves are usable outside of battle to help you solve possible quests you run into. To learn the move, you must drop your Pokémon off for one week per move learned. Run by AiedailEclipsed. The Move Tutor - A Magical Place. The Move Tutor helps a Pokémon learn Egg/MT/Advanced Moves, or moves skipped through Evolution. For this service, you must drop off your Pokémon for 3 days and pay 1 Rare Candy per Egg/MT Move and only 1 Move is allowed per week. Advanced Moves require the payment of 3 Heart Scales per move, and for Skipped Moves, the Pokémon must exceed the level it would have learned the attack at (i.e. Lotad can learn Rain Dance at level 35. Ludicolo does not. When Ludicolo is at least Lv.36, bring it to Move Tutor for 3 days to re-learn the missed move). Skipped moves require no payment. Run by AiedailEclipsed. The Bank - Want to keep all your candies safe and secure? Open an account at the Bank and all your candy goodness shall be preserved and stored until you need them. All candy transactions must be posted in the Bank, no matter what they're being used for, with an accompanying link and explanation as to how they are being used so that your details may be updated correctly. Failure to follow the Bank rules (see the Bank's into post for details), will often result in the closing of the Pokémart, causing all members to lose their weekly privilege to Wednesday candies. Run by AiedailEclipsed. The Coin Exchange - Read the Bank rules? The Coin Exchange is exactly the same, only here we keep your coins safe and sound rather than your candies. All coins spent or gained MUST be recorded here so we can keep your account up-to-date. You may also cash in various items to make more coins, so be sure to read the rules posted in the Coin Exchange so you don't miss out. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Coins for Prizes - Here you can cash in your hard earned coins by exchanging them for prizes. From Hold Items - Booster Items - Evolution Items - TM's - the rarest of the rare Pokémon. Choose what you want, post a link to the Coin Exchange proving you have withdrawn the coins you need, and wait for confirmation of your purchase. Run by AiedailEclipsed. The Berry Shop - The Berry Shop has the largest garden out the back where berries of all kinds grow. Each Wednesday one berry will be given out, and at various times of the week any surplus berries will also be given away and all you need to do to collect is to post within the allocated time frame. Give the berry to your Pokémon or cash it in, the choice is yours. All pickups must be quoted, or your berries will be denied when you try to use them. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Real Estate Agency - If you're interested in bases then this is the place to go. We have all the information you need to get you underway on your Base planning and purchasing so once you've read through the information, price guides will be there to help you manage your coins and for you to see what the best ones are you can afford. All posting in the Base Shop will need links to the Coin Exchange detailing what you've spent your coins on. Run by AiedailEclipsed. The Base Shop - What's the point of having an empty base and plenty of coins to buy things with if you're not going to spend them? The Base Shop provides you with heaps of items for you to customize your base however you desire, and don't forget be on the lookout for special offers that occur in the Base Shop from time to time as you never know what you'll miss out on so be sure to watch what's happening all the time. As with the Real Estate, all purchases need links from the Coin Exchange for the transaction to be approved. Run by AiedailEclipsed. The Post Office - Got a friend in an area too far away for you to travel? Want to say a quick hello to them? Then the Post Office is for you! For just a tiny fee you can send a letter to your friends mail box wherever they happen to be. Our carrier birds will fly far and wide to deliver the mail to them safely and quickly. With the Post Office, links will be needed for proof of purchase and all you need to do is PM the Post Office attendant with your letter and they will pen it onto customized paper for your friend to cherish forever. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Lanette's PC - Like the game, Lanette's PC is a Storage System for your Pokémon and extra items. Pokémon inside the PC cannot be used in Zones or Shops without another Pokémon going in. If a Pokémon is found in Lanette's PC and is also being used in a zone or shop, you may lose your privileges and lose any Pokémon in the PC. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Chansey's Casino - Fast money and dreams reached or lost. Here you come in and gamble to your heart's content (see the Casino's intro post for details). Coins won can then be used in the various games to help you win more coins. When you have enough coins, you can then use them to pay for various prizes such as Shards, Power Boosting Items, and even Rare TMs, or use them to buy yourself a Secret Base and furnish it with items from the Base Shop. Run by AiedailEclipsed. The Arcade - Sometimes EoT is a little slow and during those times we have something to keep you busy! Every week a new game is posted for you to play and submit your highest score. If you're lucky you may win some fantabulous prizes! Both Weekly and Monthly games are available. Run by AiedailEclipsed. Pokémon Boutique - A place to add that unique touch to your Pokémon. From recoloring to adding birthmarks, the Pokémon Boutique is the place to go. If your Pokémon just want to have a little fun, drop by and purchase some of our special clothing and costumes. Everyone loves playing the superhero now and then - even your Pokémon! Run by AiedailEclipsed Breeding Center - During the month of October each year the Tempest of Eternity Breeding Center will allow you to breed your Pokémon. Designed expressly for the purpose of introducing a personal touch to a members team as not as a means of profit making for those who are able to breed rarer Pokémon, the Breeding Center has strict yet reasonable stipulations attached to it. So when your Pokémon are ready to become a mommy and daddy, please be sure to bring them by for a visit. Run by AiedailEclipsed Assistant Application Centre - Sometimes Zone Managers will be overworked and not be able to keep up with their duties in EoT. They will post here seeking help if at all possible. If you are interested in becoming a Zone Assistant you can PM the ZM in question to receive a test. You will then send the completed test back to the ZM via Private Message. The manager will then filter though who they think is best suited to their zone and either hire you, someone else, or possibly no one at all according to their judgement. Rare Candies: Rare Candies have become a commodity in Tempest of Eternity. Every Wednesday, people will be given 1 free Rare Candy from the Pokémart, but you must post in order to claim it. If you come on Thursday, you've lost your chance of gaining a Rare Candy for that week. Tempest of Eternity runs according to the Central time zone so please make yourself familiar with what time it is in the Central US as opposed to wherever you are in the world in order to post for your Wednesday privileges during the appropriate hours. Also ALL Rare Candy transactions must be posted in The Bank, with an explanation of what you are doing with it and a link to the accompanying transaction. When feeding a Rare Candy to your Pokémon, it will instantly gain a level, but people have also found other uses. Some people use it for trades to gain better items or even Pokémon. Rare Candies can also be used to pay for Shop costs such as the Move Tutor. Edited by AiedailEclipsed, Oct 23 2009, 10:59 PM.
