Hey Dark-bro, where am I going to stay?
Nope, it is not a chat corner but rather a dicussion corner on how we proceed ahead for the RPG. For starters due to the overwhelming response for the battling degree, there is certainly no way I can divide out the dorms according to the various degrees. Hence I decide to mix the students of various degrees together. For now, here is the list of the characters that had registered for the sign- up so far.
*PS> I have not assign yours yet, River. You have not give me a clear indication on which degree you are taking up.
Breeding
Dark-san (M)
Crazy Elf Boy (F)
Emotional Faun Chiko-sai (F)
EngiMatikul (F)
darktyranitar (M)
Bulbasaur4 (M)
Contest
Roy Karrde (F)
Mystic_clown (M)
Weasel Overlord (M)
Hyperness is a Good Thing (F)
Battling
~Genki Katchum~ (M)
classy_cat18 (F)
Perfect Chaos (M)
The_Missing_Link (F)
Crystal Tears (F)
Blademaster (M)
Shadow Djinn (M)
Prof. Jb Wolf (M)
Ultimate Charizard (M)
Legends:
(M) - You are playing a male character in the RPG
(F) - You are playing a female character in the RPG
(M/F*) - Not posted the sign- up yet, but I am presuming the gender of your character
A general rule of thumb is that in every dorm, the members would be evenly spread out on the basis of their gender. And I have randomly picked out and slotted everyone into their respective dorms.
Midori Dorm
~Genki Katchum~ (M)
Shadow Djinn (M)
Weasel Overlord (M)

Kuro Dorm
Blademaster (M)
Dark-san (M)
darktyranitar (M)

Classy cat 18 (F)
River (F*)
Anka Dorm
Perfect Chaos (M)
Mystic_clown (M)
Prof. Jb Wolf (M)
Bulbasaur4 (M)
Roy Karrde (F)
EngiMatikul (F)
Cheers and enjoy your new room mates. Do note that everyone from the other degrees are your rivals. Hence it is always noted that you can RPG on your battles, interactions with your fellow RPGers and also capture pokemons. But also note for pokemon captures, you are only limit to six max. It would be easier for me to keep track of the pokemons.
The environment and surroundings
Battler's Forest: This is a large lush green forest that is only open to the students from the campus. Your very first orientation camp is held here. Only pokemons from the Kanto region can be found here. Pokemon captures are allowed in the forest but the trainers would be needed to register with the counter located at the enterance of the forest (marked with an arrow)
Battler's arena: If you are itching for a battle, you are welcome to participate in one here. Just register your battle with a professor and he will officially be the umpire and ensure that there is no foul play.
School building A to F: These are where your lectures and tutorials are going to be held in. The canteen would be at building C whereas the bookshop abd library would be allocated in building F. Pokemon Centre is located at Building A, just to note.
Dorms (Anka, Midori & Kuro): Nothing much, just note your geographical positions in the map.
Minor things to note
1) Classes starts from 8 am in the morning and ends at 6 pm in the evenings.
2) Students are given time out on weekends but curfews starts at 10 pm onwards for weekends and 8 pm for weekdays.
3) Students are only allowed a maximum of 6 pokemons. Apologises if this was not inform earlier but it is to allow me to keep track on your pokemons. You may wish to update on your sign up later after this.
4) LSUs are welcomed but they will have post their signs up in the sign up topic instead of the main RPG topic and wait for approval before they can start posting.
5) Dorm room- sharing with a person from the opposite sex is allowed but it depends on how you RPG it to be. Each dorm room will their own toilet.
Story line
The first scene will show the students unpacking in their respective dorms and get to know of their room mates. Later after which they are called upon to pack whatever is necessary for the orientation camp and head out into the Battler's Forest.
What to expect?
I have not sort out my idea yet but currently what I have in my mind would be a 'visit the graveyard' tradition. Where the RPGers will go with a person of the opposite sex and visit the graves which is located deep inside the forest. This would give the members more chance at character development as well as any interaction to form bonds and relationship.
The orientation will perhaps end off with a bonfire. Where the RPGers will dance around the bonfire according to the rythmns of the folklore music. After which much later into the RPG, it would be a formal D&D where the freshmen get together. Then the events after the D&D would be your first semester examinations.
These are my plans for now. If you have other ideas, you might want to express them here.

No worries, you will get to stay somewhere sis. ^.^
I am waiting confirmation from the rest of the members who had reserved their seats and yet to post their character details. I will slot your character in a dorm that has more males than females. I can slot you up now but this list is not yet finalise.
All the dorm details would be finialise when the RPG starts on Tuesday.
I'm in all probability asking a dumb question the answer of which is glaringly apparent to all except me, but I just want to clarify this :x - do we each get our own room in the dorms, (ie. 1 person to a room) or are we sharing our rooms with anyone (2 or more people to a room)?
Well in a dorm, it has always been the guys in one room and the ladies in the other. Yes, this means you would be sharing with Rebecca and classycat sis.
*Edit it would be okay if you want to RPG about sharing a room with another gender. It all depends on how you RPG it to be, there is no restriction in the first place

Oooh, thanks bro, I was confusing this with real-life uni housing issues.. urrgh ><
Hah no problem. At this stage is everyone happy with the begining to the RPG on the orientation camp itself?
Edit* Heads up, mates I may start the RPG by tomorrow as I had an unforeseen event on Tuesday itself. If this early start- up, had disrupted your plans, I sincerly apologised.

Hmm, I just noticed something. You put darktyranitar on the list, yet I haven't seen a sign up or a post reserving a spot. Did he reserve via pm or something?
I'm in your dimensions, screwing with your reality!
I reserved via MSN.
Yeah... I'll come with a sign up soon...
Please take it easy~
At the moment, there is no need for you dudes to post about the orientation camp yet. I would waited for a couple days until when most of the RPGers have posted their first reply UNTIL the point where they have to meet up at the Battler's Forest gate.
I would then planned out the range of events that is to take place for the orientation camp itself. The map of the forest would also should be done by then.
Edit* Map done:
Schedule done:
You dudes can also look forward to the reason behind the bad blood between the different faculties. All these conspiracies would be revealed by then.

*goes off to brush teeth/eat/perform morning ablutions*
On a side note.
@Dark: Most likely not changing dorms unless I tell you otherwise later today (our timezone today) via PM or offline MSN or something. Sorry again for the bother :x
I will be posting later tonight! WEEE!!
BTW: I did a picture of Rywen!

@Wurzworth (and anyone who's potentially going to meet Aubrey...): DAHLING. Ai am booking Aubrey for mai next post. Ai do not care, ai MUST meet up with thise smexy effeminate man of means. See yew latah online after I stuff dinner down mai throat, dahling!
@Box: Since our tagging plans have been curtailed, DEVISE SOME MORE LATER. For now humour me :3 *watches Kuriko's face change to horror as Namie drags her to meet Aubrey*
Anyone in the Midori dorm want to bunk up with Lyzolda?

why don't you just go to the communal bunk established so far by Aubrey and Aislin? there're still empty beds and Dark-san never set a limit...or he hasn't as far as I can see.

Heh, no problem. I just love the planning process. For now, you dudes can proceed to do whatever you want at the dorm but just a notice that I hope to get the orientation camp to start on Sunday. So if ya guys have no objections to that, we can start on that day then.
@Yi wen~ Apologises but Roy did change up the format of the map. So I guess that would help you out right?
@Darkmeng: Oh dear, now I'm even FURTHER from Anka dorm. :x Never mind ^^;; I'll just, eh, use my dorm as a place to ... sleep. Or something.
In the Pokemon anime, there's this episode with the ghostly tower place in Lavender Town, and the Haunter in that episode was able to take Ash's soul out from his body (astral projection, LOL...) am I allowed to do that (my character owns a Haunter) within the bounds of this RPG?
But since it takes you out, how is the rest going to communicate with ya?
The body will be sitting in my dorm, and the soul will be running around where I want it to go ^^;;; I think the soul can still communicate with humans... or at least Pokemon. So I was thinking of it as a handy way to 'avoid' curfew if there was any important communication to be done, or just for fun :x of course if someone wants to harm the soulless body in the dorm or whatever, the soul wouldn't know what happened to it since it's not in the body. I just wanted to know what kind of limitations you want to set on this.
If it is just zooming around harmlessly, I'm okay with that since the Pokemon episode is already showing it. But communication with another physical being or pokemon is defintely a nono, unless the other pokemon is a ghost type as well.
Oh bloody hell. There goes my plan for Great Escape and Adventures in Anka Dorm (4M 2F + 1Ghost). Okay forget I mentioned anything :x *toddles off to write consolatory post with Aubrey dahling*
Spreading the Aubrey love around! I like it.
I shall call it: The dahling disease. XD

Dahling!
That sends silvers down my spine. Guess my character will nickname him, 'sissy guy'. XD Sorry couldn't resist that.
Eitherway a headsup to both Kalah and Perfect Chaos, the rest are on their way to the orientation camp. I suppose I could wait for your character to reach the gate of the Battler's forest before we can officially start the freshmen orientation camp?
Yeah, sorry I'll try to post tomorrow like after 9:30 am. Right now, I'm trying to cram as much Bio as I can into my head for my final tomorrow at 8:30 am o_o;
Oh, and my char might be a tad late since he just got slapped around like a rag-doll by a "very pissed-off Wigglytuff" ;o (if you don't get the joke, go read my post )
I am pondering why I am recieving a heads up. My post had Wolf's charry and mine heading to orientation as well. I figured I'd give Wolfy some time to post. ^_^

I is ignored by WO's flashy metropolitan guy consequently that's my character's nature, to be ignored... oh well it doesn't seem like I can post much till orientation is here/over, so I'll wait. :x

Orientation Camp starts now.
*Edit~ I will start off the first post by tonight or tomorrow morning. Is there any questions, you dudes want to ask regarding about the camp?
Last edited by Dark-San; 26th April 2007 at 04:35 AM.
Ok, so apparently the students arrive on a Monday and it looks like the first three days are more orientation like. But you posted something that got me confused
Don't you mean Monday? Also, for Wednesday's schedule, it looks like you switched free time and lunch break around. And is the morning run mandatory? For a university, it seems sort of odd and doesn't make much sense for the breeding students to do. After Wednesday, will they start actual classes?2) The courage test would start on Sunday when everyone had posted the activities from the lunchtime period to the Free Time period (1400 – 2200). Do get yourself a partner - male/ female pairing recommended.
On another note, I would hate it if I only got 7 hours or less of sleep, which is what the characters will go through the first two days

1) I mean Sunday as in 28 April 2007 where I will begin the starting post for courage test.
2) About the morning runs, I have no idea about it but in real life we had morning runs during the orientation camp and I am from the business faculty which makes no sense to me too.
3) Yes after 'Wednesday', classes will start.
4) About the less 7 hours of sleep, lets just assume that the RPG characters have no problem with the 7 or less hours of sleep.
5) Oh and in case you are wondering, the 'Monday' of this topic does not necessary mean the real Monday, 30 April 2007. In fact the 'Monday', had already started when on the day the RPG started.
Hopefully that does not confuse you. ^.^
LOL theoretically if you're in a university you'd be getting much less than 7 hours of sleep :p whether due to studies or otherwise...
Everything else TML says is legit.

When I was in my first year of art college I think I never got more than 4 hours of sleep a night during semesters... it sucked. (Although not university, I shudder to think what it will be like at university.)
And about morning runs, I assume it's one of those crap team-bonding things you always get at these camps...
I think that for the battlers, it would make sense but for the contest trainers and the breeders, not much so (and certainly not for anyone during orientation period. Afterwards, yeah). The earliest my college starts classes is 8 AM (which I have never experienced until next semester) so there are tons of people who don't get a ton of sleep (myself included) but luckily, we're free to structure our class schedule if there are other time periods available that fit our needs better
I sort of got the feeling that the schedule mimicked your real life university experience. Actually, the RPG has an Asian flair to it which is throwing me for a loop since most of the characters appear to be Asian and the way they talk to each other is confusing sometimes. I sort of get the "chan" and "kun" attachments but it's still something getting used to

Cheers, yes unfortunately for the orientation camp.
For the classes, I have not started planning yet. And yeah, you are right on choosing your own timetables. I have planned on that as well but the problem would be the modules to take. I will need to look into that when I have the time.
Actually, in British universities, the opposite is true, lol! We tend to get too much sleep. Or at least, English students do. Naps, sleeping through the day and staying awake til stupid hours of the morning, it's all good.
But eugh, morning runs. I don't think Aubrey will be doing any of those, dahling.
