Alright, there's now a noticeable break in reffing between my participants and the other GM's. I don't care why this happened, but wish to fix it. Thus, the following:

YOU MAY NOW PM ORDERS TO YOUR ASSIGNED GM AND ME.

One of us should reply, and this should balance out update speeds.

Hotfix 2:
Awakening has been reduced to 600. All items now cost 0.75x their original price. If you already bought some, you will be refunded.

Engineer is now one of my participants. Temperantia is now one of Smashlloyd20's participants.

Critical Moment: I will RNG when writing updates to determine if you get a critical moment at the end of your round. If your round ends with a critical moment, you will only have two options: an obviously safe one, and a risky one. The safe one will not end with very much change, you will be in much the same place if you take it.

The risky one will have two outcomes: a very bad one, and one that will put you an important step closer to any goals you might have. If you pick the risky choice, I will RNG the outcome. There is a 50% chance of either possible ending.

In other news, I have come up with new DQ rules for battles. If you are still battling/exploring past the DQ time of the next round, the battle took two rounds to complete. However, I will start battles faster than normal updates to compensate, and promise to ref once a day, if not more.

This is all for now.

Major changes and/or clarifications that are effective immediately

1) Trainer Pokemon now have all level up moves and BW TM's, as well as an unlocked Dream World ability, so they can compete with better Pokemon without demoloshing undertrained ones. These are things like Wingull and Tentacool people. They aren't overpowering.

2) Agressiveness now has an application towards switch=ko/ok. If you choose to use the flee command to escape a wild battle, the Pokemon will have an RNG rolled based on agressiveness. If he succeeds in stopping your flight, he gets a free round in.

You may always withdraw a Pokemon when ordering against a wild Pokemon. However, if you do so a similar RNG will be rolled. If it fails, the Pokemon will get a free attacking action to stop the pursuit, but it must be an attack aimed at a Pokemon withdrawing. If multiple Pokemon are withdrawing or multiple trainers are fleeing, the Pokemon can only block one max, which will be determined by RNG.

3) Double critical hit. Yeah, if a Pokemon rolls a 625 or less with an attack, and then does so again, it's an automatic death. This is to simulate really powerful crits (deathly weak points) that wouldn't really be survivable.

4) Crit moment revisions: They now only have a 20% chance of occuring. However, you can also get a Moment of Fate (4%) that will have two uncertain outcomes, although one will be much safer than the other, but have a lower reward.

5) Withdrawing a Pokemon from ASM to ASB. If a Pokemon caught in ASM is in a PC Box, you may use a PC to beam it out of ASM into ASB. While it will no longer be usable in ASM, it will become legal in ASB at the end of the day. This had already been posted, but I wished to clarify.
