MEMBER & GUILD RANKING
New quests are released! Sign-ups will open officially on the 3rd of this month, so until then, here's a plotting post for you all to get your Duckletts in a row! Before we hop right into things, though, here are the tallies from total quest points!

Click here for the rankings!

⟡ MEMBER RANKING
ICly, Rankings will show the points earned of all Pokemon in guilds, including NPC Pokemon not listed here OOCly. We didn't list guild leaders this time, but might in the future for fun. Keep in mind that quests available to player characters are not the entire pool of quests, and that some are likely snatched up before they can get to them regularly, which is how points vary and how some guilds pull ahead even without much player help. However, over time, player points will certainly affect the standing of guilds! Without further ado, here are the characters in ranking order by guild:

Oran Berries
Akechi 4500 points
Shoka 2700 points
Emmet 3250 points
Ren 2700 points *
Ingo 2400 points
Bigby 1300 points
A.B.A 1200 points
Sanji 1150 points
Umemiya 1100 points
Flamebringer 1050 points
Noelle 550 points
Kris 400 points
Parvati 300 points
Cedric 250 points
Kinger 250 points
Impmon 150 points
Need 100 points
(* Ren has earned an upgrade to mid-tier housing!)

Cheri Berries
Siffrin 3250 points *
Guilmon 2500 points *

Firoza 2000 points
Fireheart 1600 points
Archnemon 1550 points
Agnes 300 points
Henry 100 points
Ken 100 points
Tenna 100 points
(* OOCly, Siffrin (ISAT) has 600 points and Siffrin (SA) has 2650 points, but ICly they were mixed up and their points were pooled together. Also, Guilmon and Laios have earned an upgrade to mid-tier housing!)

Lum Berries
Emporio 4000 points
Anasui 3750 points
Perrin 1400 points
Akira 1350 points
Ring-Spirit 1250 points
Chara 550 points
Seto 350 points
Dolly 250 points
Odile 50 points

Congratulations to Ren, Siffrin (SA), Guilmon, and Laios, for achieving the next tier of accommodation! You are free to assume at any time during the month, that your Guild Leader has approached you with an offer to move to Middle Tier Housing; as this is an optional upgrade, you are also free to remain in Lower Tier Housing instead.

Note: It is entirely possible that Ribombee will approach Siffrin (ISAT), due to confusing them for each other.

⟡ GUILD RANKING
And of course, posted everywhere is the guild ranking.

1. Lum Berries
2. Oran Berries

Now that we're keeping track of who's in the city, I've realized that I haven't seen Furfrou in a while... Does anyone know where they might have gone? It might take some investigating, but I'll give you a cool rock for it!

BAX TO ARCTIBAX
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Mightyena
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by NOVEMBER 30TH 11:59 EST.

As proof of solidarity with our allies, it is important to help defend the territories of the Forest from those who mean harm. In particular, Arctibax have been spotted harassing local Ghost Pokemon - remind them that they have their own place to call home!

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: No.

MAYORAL VOTE RESULTS!

On a makeshift stage, as her last activity during this trip to Skull Town, Mightyena counts out the votes collected from all the poll boxes - gently discarding invalid votes to the side. (A Pelipper from the post office reviews that pile, making sure she didn’t make a mistake.)

The other end of the stage holds all five candidates - though Grimpig seems distracted, busily chattering away over telepathy. There’s an increasingly apprehensive silence from Umbreon in particular as the tally starts racking up more and more in his favor, and the pile of votes grows small… and then Malamar exclaims and points. There’s a Swalot near the pile with a suspiciously full-looking mouth!

Swalot is quickly bullied into using Spit Up, revealing a slimy bundle of additional votes. Mightyena dutifully calls these out as well, though she’s hiding a grimace at the clammy texture. By the time she reaches the bottom, though the vote is respectably close, there’s still a clear victor!

As promised, we’ve tallied the IC Vote on our new Mayor for (Death Blood Murder) Skull Town. With that in mind, we’d like to give a hearty congratulations to Cheri Berry Guild’s Lurantis!

Lurantis replaces Mightyena to make a very short, if still gracious, speech - though she’s outwardly calm, perhaps she doesn’t enjoy speaking to crowds? She thanks those who voted for her and promises again to focus first on preparing Skull Town for the encroaching winter, and on relations with the local Pokemon. Then she steps delicately down off the stage and into the crowd to make herself available to talk to.

As it turns out, she’s built up enough popularity that the crowd is packed tight! No Pokemon originating from other worlds will get a chance to speak with her directly before she eventually has to leave, but she’ll be available again in the near future. Just give her a couple of weeks to get settled into her new duties and organize the most urgent tasks and assignments!

INCOMING EVENTS

Winter appears to be arriving a little too quick for everyone’s liking this year, as once the middle of the month arrives so too will snow - and a lot of it! Get ready to see what Pokemon do during a Snow Day as we greet potential new players this month, as we begin to see snow forts, snow wars, and…snow beasts?

Hopefully whatever is coming isn’t any worse than Froslass.

PLAYER INFO
PLAYER: Mega (or Dorked)
ABOUT: I am a big nerd who loves cats, feeding crows, video games, animation, musicals, and many nerdy things. I have ADHD and GAD, so sometimes my brain is in a perpetual state of screeching (I am working on it xD). I also am a Youtuber, have an Undertale webcomic, and am currently writing an absurdly long Persona fic.

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Goro Akechi
CANON: Persona 5 Royal
POKEMON: Rookidee
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!
ABOUT:

Do you like traumatized teenagers who make poor life choices? Then do I have news for you!

Goro Akechi suffered an awful life due to societal stigmas against illegitimate children and the children of sex workers, made worse by his mother's death and years cycling through orphanages and neglectful foster homes. Eventually he awakened a power he barely understood and, jaded by a life of pain, decided to hatch a stupid revenge plan against his father that led to him effectively being a child assassin masquerading as a prettyboy detective. Fun!

Akechi has since dropped his "detective prince" mask and is now a very jaded, aloof, and serious person who is still fiercely determined to prove himself, uncover the mysteries of this world. He sees this world as a fresh start and is trying to be a better person, but is highly suspicious of certain a uthority figures like Ribombee and, to a certain extent, Polteageist. He, Ren, and Flowey also kinda sorta have an unofficial detective trio thing going.

By some miracle, Akechi got through three heavy quests without getting sick! He aims to take the information he gained and try to reach out to others who explored those regions to see if they can piece together a more cohesive picture of all the mysterious sights and phenomena. Additionally, I'll probably be doing a post not only related to that, but questioning how some of the other characters handle hunting other Pokémon, when they can speak and think on a human level. It's something that's fascinated him for a while.

Quest wise, he'll be doing Wooly Activity with Ren, along with Fireheart's quest with Ren and Flowey, but because he's a stinky overachiever, he's also interested in the other quests on the board! In particular, he is interested in Who Watches the Watchlights and Furfrou's Sake, but he is willing to lend his skills to Bax to Arctibax if he can find teammates to cover for his ice weakness.

ANYTHING ELSE:

Boop.

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Guilmon
CANON: Digimon Tamers (JP)
POKEMON: Charmeleon
GUILD: Cheri
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!
ABOUT:

What do you get when you take a red dinosaur but give him the mind of a naive and playful child? Guilmon! He's a very cheerful, curious, and silly fella who loves playing, eating absurd amounts of bread, and making friends. He's very determined when he wants to be and can be really fierce in battle.

The rest of the time, he's baby.

Guilmon is recovering from a very disastrous expedition in Icefall Lake. Because of this, he's gonna need a lot of rest. Thankfully, the upgrade to Mid-tier housing will improve his living quarters, but this also means he needs to upgrade his roof again. Help might be necessary since he's still a little out of sorts.

That being said, he'd like to do some quests! I think the rescue quests would serve him well with his keen sense of smell, but he's a fire type, so he can definitely offer warmth for those taking on Bax to Arctibax.
