::Unbolts the door, pulls the ply wood of of the top and kicks the door in.::

And to think they were gonna tear down this place. Oh no no no siree. Just needs a lil fixer-uppin.

*Releases all his Pokemon* Alright you guys. You know the plan. We got a week to spiff this place back up, and to update with with everything new and incoming, as it would seem.

::Change and Atripe wheel in a chalkboard with skematics taped over it, and each Pokemon's task on it:: Alright. You all find your task and get to it, I'll be getting the rest of the materials.

---

We're gonna have ourselves a Grand Festival this year! This place will be built up in the coming week, so all you folks with ribbons get ready to rock

Maybe folks without ribbons should get ready to rock as well..n_n Keep your eyes open and your minds working on something awesome. It starts as soon as the JUNE festival ends..((Which SHOULD be soon ¬¬))

Basically, Grand Festival events will start on July 1st-no if's and's or but's

Sign up criterion will soon follow.

[DarkestLight]

Alright June Contest over, let's get ready for the Grand Festival.

I have an ideal way with how this should be run this year. Seeing as how last year we were a bit skimped on Contests, and this year we've only have 5 Ribbons handed out-I thought it would be best to include everyone, but with a specific restriction

But that depends on how many sign-ups we get. So, its what, 6/29 today? Yeah. So by 7/2, Sign up with a total of 4 Pokemon. One HAS to be a pre-evo. That's all the criterion you'll be getting until I see how many sign up.

NO. RESERVATIONS! Once you're in, you re in. Anyway ::Cuts ribbon as the last area is still under a sheet:: Alright lets get signing. And dun worry about construction, it'll be done soon enough.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Just a question, when you say Pre evol does that mean lowest evolutionary state of a pokemon which has been added as a pre evolution of an already stated pokemon?

[DarkestLight]

Thank you for asking that. I do mean pre-evolution of an existing Pokemon (So basically Just have a "baby" Pokemon like Budew or Tyrogue..or something. Once I see how many people sign up, then we'll do some finagling..

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Fenlong (Male Bagon)
Halla (Female Piplup)
Sixthree (Male Bonsly)
King Kaliente (Male Magmortar)

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Well I had to ask that since the only pokemon on my team that qualifies for that is a Budew.

So I guess I will be signing up with my

Budew M: Nature's Fury
Tyranitar M: Gaara
Charizard M: Wildfire
Snover F: Frozen Blossom

[chaos_redefined]

I can't qualify

[Green Lanturn]

Wow, thankfully I JUST acquired two pre-evo pokes, so this will be a good time to test him out. I do have a ribbon, and i will be signing up with the following pokemon!


Chaka, Mime Jr, F
Riff Raff, Magmortar, M
Labelle, Buneary, F
Otto, Ursaring, M

Grand Festival Agenda

Hey hey everybody! DL her with a big ol' list of things for you to do at this year's Grand Festival. Contests of all shapes and sizes dominate our Festival this year. This means that you can partake in as little or as much of the festival as you wish.

Now, I know yer prolly wondering about how to crown a Champion if people only do a few of the Contests being offered. Well, the Contests being held are tallied. You'll have a ceiling of (TBD-Signups will help me determine the limit) points. This way, someone can do well in one Contest, figure they may suck in another one-and still be able to oust someone who participated in 3 Contests and got lower scores. The contests are each also worth different point levels, to help even the scale n_n.

Signups are still continuing, so it seems we'll be able to fun the full gamut. Now, the baby Pokemon thing. There's a Contest only for them and their cuteness n_n-so if you don't have one, you can't enter that contest. But as I described before, you may not necessarily NEED to be in that contest to pull off a Grand Festival Win n_n!

Alright. That's all I need to stay now. Come on people, don't be scared. I'm sure you'll all have all sorts of wizardy Contest appeals rearing to go. Sign ups END ON 7/2

[Dragonis]

I'll sign up using Big Momma (female bagon), Rui (shiny female gengar), Jay (shiny gallade) and Sasuke (hitmonlee).

[Chris 2.1]

This sounds really cool, Darkly. I'm entering with my [M] Empoleon, Tux, my [F+] Gengar Gaunte, my [F] Houndoom, Bella and my genderless Magnezone, Zaapp.

[DarkestLight]

11 so far, that's fantastic! I'm just posting some of the contests now. I am leaving signups open til I get off of work and remember to close them so keep signing up people. I'm thinking of having 4 per category, maybe extend to five if we get enough people.

(psst, if you have any contest ideas, please let me know. These are just the ones I'm quickly tossing up, but I'm open for suggestions :p)

Contest types:


Lower Tier: 10
Straight Standard
Baby Bash (5)
Symphony Serenade!

Mid Tier: 15
Straight Super
Team Appeal
Artistic Appeals!

High Tier: 20
Straight Hyper
Blinded Fury
Fireworks Display


Alright. Point values are up if you win 1st place in any of the contests listed under a Tier. So if you won the Blinded Fury Contest-you would get 20 point added to your overall score.

Your Max Overall Score is capped at 80 points! So now, All you have to do is pick the Contests that you want to partake in-and make sure that they add up to 80 points! Once I know which Contest everyone wants to be in, I'll start all the Topics!

You'll have until 7/12 n_n. Later! Oh and feel free to ask questions, or add more Contests. The more Contest choices, the higher the Max Point Value, and the more Festive this Festival can be!

[Greyfox]

Alright, let's see. I'll do Baby Bash (5), Straight Standard (15), Straight Super (30), Team Appeal (45), Artistic Appeals! (60), and Straight Hyper (80).

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Straight Hyper (20)

Blinded Fury (20)

I don't know if this is going to be too hard...

[Houndoom_Lover]

I will have Baby Bash, Artistic Appeals (10....25. 25 so far)Straight Hyper....(Which is 20 so 45) Fireworks Display (65) Team Appeal (*has to do paper math here*) All right! I'm cool with that!

Baby Bash (5)

Straight Hyper (Hehe) (20..making 35)
Firework Display (20...55)
Team Appeal (15...70)
Straight Standard (10) (80!0

Lets's roll!
:3 I is ready.

[Asilynne]

Cant we do all of them? or do we have to pick only the number that will add exactly to 80?

[DarkestLight]

No.

I thought about that. I decided to go this route cause if a contest isn't pick, that gives you an easy win, which is int fair to everyone else that has pushed through all the other contests.>> This way you also have more control over how well you do in the Festival by focusig on your strengths.

[Asilynne]

Baby Bash
Symphony Serenade!
Team Appeal
Artistic Appeals!
Fireworks Display
Straight Super

Let me know if I added it wrong, I think thats it though ;D

[DarkestLight]

5+10+15+15+20

Thats 65, you got 15 more points

[Rossymore]

First off is Baby Bash, then Straight Standard then Team Appeal, Straight Hyper then Fireworks Display then finish off with Symphony Serenade.

(5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 10 = 80)

Hoorayz!

[Chris 2.1]

Can you give descriptions of the Blind Fury, Fireworks Display, ie the ones we've never heard of before?

[Asilynne]

Ok added a 15 one in there ;D

[Green Lanturn]

Straight Standard (10), Straight Super(15), Team Appeal(15), Blind Fury(20), Fireworks Display(20)


10+15=25+15=40+20=60+20=80.....yayness.

~GL

[DarkestLight]

Chris: Sure.

Lower Tier: 10
Straight Standard--3 actions a round
Baby Bash (5)--Baby Pokemon only, 3 attacks a round
Symphony Serenade!--Music plays in the background, and you make appeals that appeal to the type of music. (country, rock, classical, stuff like that)

Mid Tier: 15
Straight Super--4 attax
Team Appeal-2 Pokemon, 2 attack each
Artistic Appeals!--Your Pokemon's attacks will be splashed on a canvas wall, as they're layered in paint. They'll them be able to create a picture with what they choose to do.

High Tier: 20
Straight Hyper--5 attacks
Blinded Fury--Pokemon are blinded and out of control. One attack will be chosen by the ref-and its placement will be random. Can make or break a competition n_n
Fireworks Display--High energy explosive appeals here.

[Rossymore]

Maybe you could have told us that earlier...still...I'll see how it goes.

[chaos_redefined]

Baby Bash (5)
Straight Standard (+10 = 15)
Symphony Serenade (+10 = 25)
Team Appeal (+15 = 40)
Fireworks Display (+20 = 60)
Blinding Fury (+20 = 80)
