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:

Remember - Players can submit their own quests, here!

OVER THE BRINK
QUEST TYPE: HEAVY
QUEST GIVER: Polteageist
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★★✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: Yes
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 14th 11:59 PM EST.

We are facing an unprecedented circumstance as numerous Lum Researchers tasked with making contact with a Pokemon known as Decidueye have since gone entirely missing. Our witness and local guide, Chimecho, states that she was leading them through the area beyond the cliffs when they were set upon by a thick, heavy fog, not unlike what recently blanketed our forest region and bay. We have little understanding of what to expect. While Pokemon taking up this quest will be teleported in with the Lum's prototype room, after retrieving the Lum Research team, Pokemon must be prepared to make their own way back to the Bay through unknown and possibly dangerous terrain. Prepare for anything - adaptation will be key.

POINTS REWARDED: 300 points (200 points for failure)
EXTRA REWARDS?: Potential for plot information (if successful), risk of consequence (nothing to ever ruin your time in game).
NOTES: Please use the summary section to fill out how your character will prepare for this quest. Information on what the team will encounter will be presented in their reply. While we will use a super-secret rubric to decide success/failure based on later summaries, your beginning advice is to prioritize the potential to adapt to any given terrain.

GOING UP
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Mightyena
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 25th 11:59 PM EST.

As reaching the mountains beyond the Spire is easier said than done, Spinarak has begun a city project to erect safe stairways and walkways along the cliffside to make it easier for future travellers. Please help them with either constructing, or gathering the necessary materials.

POINTS REWARDED: 100 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: None

NOT A MINIOR MATTER
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Electrode
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 25th 11:59 PM EST.

Some of the rescued Minior from last month have been able to make their own way back to the sky, but others still need a little help. We need Pokemon to help construct two large catapults for launching Minior into the upper atmosphere... and others to man the devices when they're constructed! (Alternate methods of launching Minior are also welcome.)

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: None.

DITTO TO THAT
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Swellow
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 25th 11:59 PM EST.

Lately, there have been all kinds of Pokemon attacking the city from the cliffs! They seem to look different somehow, but that doesn’t make them any less dangerous! Please help fight them off!

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: No.

STEEL YOURSELVES
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Toxicroak
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 25th 11:59 PM EST.

With all the ongoing projects underway, we are finding supplies of metal running lower than originally anticipated. Join me in the caves under the Spire, and help to gather more minerals for smelting.

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: No.

INCOMING EVENTS

With the recent Bounties revealing dire times for missing Lum Researchers, it’s no surprise that the town is preparing to avoid that kind of thing from ever happening again! But while rescues are underway, numerous unexpected Pokemon are flocking at the beaches from their winter homes. What are they doing here?

And for that matter, hey look! Lurantis has her reward ready!

It's fiiiine, Ritsuka's not shy about initiating conversation, if nothing else!

Though I am down for quests, too, if there's any that seem like likely choices.

[wovensecrets]

Any are likely, she's a questaholic- just wasn't sure what you had still open for yet to suggest :) Also down to backtag the tdm as well to facilitate a random meeting point.

[lightofchaldea]

How about the ditto quest? It would definitely be a very new experience for Ritsuka to be the primary fighter with someone else backing her up. In canon it's always the other way around!

I'm down for a thread in the test drive, or alternatively I just tossed up a log if one of those prompts works better!

[wovensecrets]

I'll see what I can come up with! might be slight delay to warn <3

And ditto quest sounds good to me as well! it would be funny in an 'oops, we both prefer being the tactitican?' kind of way.

[lightofchaldea]

that awkward moment where both are just standing there waiting for the other one to go on the attack first--

well I SAY that but Ritsuka is surprisingly quick to rush into things anyway ahaha

[wovensecrets]

it's the comedy, besides she has the move 'after you' for this exact reason-

[lightofchaldea]

what's extra funny to me is that like. Ritsuka has spent YEARS being the support role person... but she's never liked feeling like she HAS to stay back because everyone else totally outclasses her in every way

now she actually has the chance to be a main combatant, herself, buuuut being how she is it's probably going to take her a while to realize that

[wovensecrets]

Oh geez, the notif war continues-- our results are in though!

[lightofchaldea]

Tell me about it, I've been manually checking my threads for like the past week...

And hooray! At least they seemed to do okay, haha

[wovensecrets]

The quests always have a fun bit of flavor to them! At least the light quests are good for a nice way to interact with the setting in a behind the scenes way (unless it moves to thread of course) and seeing what comes of that.
