Welcome to the Orange Islands!

We are one of the largest and most active Pokémon TRPGs (Text Role Playing Game) on the net. Not only that, but we boast a huge number of new features and opportunities not available anywhere else. We realize that there are a lot of Pokémon RPGs around, and we know how hard being original can be because of that. However, we strive to make every aspect of our RPG fresh and new, even the basics!
  • Start your own quest in one of the most exciting and unexplored regions: the Orange Islands!
  • Battle your way up to the top just as you would in the games; defeat gym leaders, catch wild Pokémon, and become champion!
  • Build yourself the ultimate team from one of nearly 200 brand new and exclusive Pokémon!
  • Battling isn't the only aspect of the Pokémon world, is it? Explore the world as more than just a trainer; compete in Pokémon Contests, breed your Pokémon to be the best, or go on Ranger missions to save the world!
  • Explore the brand new region of Zeralis, or take a trip down memory lane through any (or all) of the original regions from the games!
  • Is RPing not for you? We also have an ongoing project to expand our dex into one of the largest ever seen. Whether you're a spriter, an artist, or just someone that wants to get rid of some extra free time, this is for you!

So what are you waiting for? The longer you wait, the more you miss out on. Click here to register and start your adventure today!

To celebrate the re-opening of the OITRPG, we've decided that it's that time of year again, the time when we all gather around the fire and throw in the failures until we've picked some new RPG moderators! Now pull on your thinking pants, and let's get started!
Quote:
 
  • Do not apply for RPG Mods just for the staff position. If you are inadequate with your job, you will be removed, and your chances of making the position again will be severely damaged.

  • Do not apply for RPG Mods if you will not be able to hold the job for long. We are looking for people who are devoted, and who will be able to do their job for a long time.

  • Do not abuse your power in any way. This includes using your power to get more updates, updating a few people exclusively, cheating to get more money or items, and anything similar.

  • You are allowed to take somebody on as an official updatee, but this does not excuse you from updating other people.

  • Do not apply if you are not willing or able to update everybody fairly and equally.

  • Do not apply if you cannot devote at least one hour per day to the RPG, or if you can not devote five hours per week.

  • Do not apply if you cannot complete an absolute minimum of thirty updates per week (not including holidays, trips, and other viable excuses).

And now, for the actual application! Remember, it's how you answer, not what you answer, that counts!:

The Basic Junk:
1) Time Zone:
2) Time on Per Day (X:XX-X:XX):
3) Previous RPG Moderating Experience:
4) How much time can you devote to the RPG per day?:
5) At what times during the day can you update?:

The Advanced and Strange Stuff:
1) Why do you want to be an RPG moderator?
2) If there was one thing you could change or add to the RPG, what would it be and why?
3) If there was one thing you could remove from the RPG, what would it be and why?
4) If there was one person you could make RPG mod, who would it be and why?
5) If there was one person you could remove from the RPG mod team, who would it be and why?
6) With the US presidential elections having come to a close last week, voting is on all of our minds. But what if pies ran for president? Which one would get your vote?
7) Last month, the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) was fired underneath Switzerland. Although the many skeptics who predicted us all being sucked into miniature black holes were proven wrong, they could be proven right next June, which is when the particles will actually collide. What do you think will happen?
8) If a tree falls and nobody's around to hear it, do the other trees laugh?
9) If A=B, and B=C, what color are Julie's eyes?
10) Ouch!

Writing Proses:
For this section of the application, you must choose one of the following proses, and update a mock battle for no less than two turns, and no more than three. Do not include damage, though you can give the Pokémon statuses (BRN, FRZ, etc.). If you do more than one prose, the first one in your application will be used. Your chances of making it will be no greater or lesser based on how many turns you update. Remember, tl;dr is good here, and remember to make it so I don't get bored halfway through.
  • A battle between A&I and SR. A&I is using his Totower, and SR is using his Talonite.
  • A battle between Draether and the unidentified water creature (dex slot #132).
  • A battle between thedude and Ace. thedude is using his Dragonite, and Ace is using his Garchomp.

All applications must be sent to Trainer X by Sunday, November 16th at 9:00 PM EST (2:00 AM GMT). Late applications will not be considered. Good luck to all, and to all a good... well.... something. I mean yay!
In other news, the RPG will be reopened by the end of this week. That is not a prediction, that is an ETA, and if we fail to meet it, you can yell at me all you want. There'll be a number of festivities to celebrate, so stay tuned!
