@Everyone who has problems accessing the testing fora: What do you see when you try accessing it?

An error which states the site is blocked because it's not categorized. I mostly access through a school network that blocks several categories of sites. Including ones it hasn't sorted yet. Tvtropes is pretty much the only forum it doesn't block, likely because it has literary analysis applications.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

same here when I'm at school, both tropi.us and tangent128.name are blocked as Not Rated. I can read them through Google Translate, but can't post. So I probably won't post at school anymore. That's better for my education and for my continuing net access at school, don't wanna get kicked off the network for violating the AUP ;P

Why would they move this though?

[up] Because there's talk of banning people who relay banned person's posts to the forums. This pretty much effects everyone who has been posting links to Silent's posts in the testing Fora.

Also, why do I feel like tvtropes is going to end up with a "Five Tenets"-style set of unspoken rules?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Safely at my next destination!

As for the current issue, my vote, as ever is that I'd prefer we not move. I hang out at the site for reasons other than the RP, and quite like that basically everything I do is on one site. I am honestly of the opinion that moving would be destructive to the RP, as Anom said. That said, I wouldn't abandon the RP if we moved. I would not be happy about it, but I wouldn't leave.

While I personally would prefer moving, I just want whatever would keep our community together if at all possible.

Whenever I return from my hiatus (read: get ungrounded), I'll probably move my posting to the PunBB board and self-reflect in the main thread.

Like Wolf, I quite like it here for things that don't have anything to do with the RP. Hell, my Internet life pretty much is here nowadays for the most part.

Honestly, I think the best course of action is for Silent to appeal his ban. If it's denied, I would be happy to leave the test forum in a tab, and periodically check it for posts, but I really don't want to move.

Agreed with Wolf. Though Silent himself doesn't need to appeal it, I think. Does he? Or can others appeal it for him?

Technically, all that needs to happen is for Silent to apologize through one of us (since he can't post), promise not to do it again, and hope that he is forgiven.

And now for something completely different. Hi, I was hoping to sign up, but it looks like you guys are in the middle of an arc. I guess I'll just lurk until I can sign up. Do you guys have a preferred template?

I hope I can join in soon, this is a great story. I promise not to be an ex-champion.

<hopes first post is well received>

[up][up] Post a bio of your character/mons here, and read this essay. You may also want to check out the Social Chatroom and Creative Chatroom to get acquainted with the members of the RP. Social chatroom is for just general conversation, while Creative chat is specifically for RP-related-stuff. However, not all people use both chats, and some use neither.

Oh hi there, new guy!

You seem sane enough, so unless there's a glaring issue with your character like a team of Legendaries or something, you'll be fine.

Welcome to WAAPT. ^_^

I'm Crewe, one of those people who hangs out mostly in the Social chat. You won't see much of me IRP until around September in all likelihood, but I'm always happy to say hi.

To the new guy

Are you on a 3DS or something by any chance? Because that might make some things tricky. If not, I HIGHLY recommend visiting the chatrooms (and getting yourself an avatar, it makes things less confusing for some users.)

Other than that, you being an ex-champion would be the least of our worries, since we actually have plenty of people who've beaten at least one Pokemon league. :P More worrisome is stuff like you having a time-traveling train, being a robot, or, worst of all, being functionally immortal.

...So just avoid those kinds of things and you'll be fine. :P

Welcome to WAAPT Tropeless.

It's really not that big of a deal that we're in the middle of an arc, you can still join. You have two options of doing this:

  • Find a shard of the Time Space Orb somewhere in the world (i.e. Orre, Oblivia, Kanto, etc), and be teleported into the PMD universe.

  • Create a temporary character to use within the PMD arc, and then introduce your regular character afterwards.

In regards to possible movement... I'd like to keep the trope page itself, and all links therein, (it's exceptionally fun, and it's how I found the place...) but if we have to move, I'll move. I'm basically mimicking Wolf's stance on this.

Also... New member. Words can not adequately express my joy at no longer being the new guy. Neither can emotions. So I shall just squee for the next several minutes. Also, welcome, Tropeless!

Give me a mind, I will play with it. A character, I will roleplay it. Not so different.

The page for it would stay, just changed to reflect the move. Other off-site R Ps have pages, so it shouldn't be a problem.
