Weekend events~

[Pepperstone]

¡Hello Team Sanctuary!
Today came to my attention that not all the members can make it on Friday nights so i was thinking of hosting some minor events like trivias, fishing or bug catching contests and such during the weekends, but for that i need to know if you are available.

I was thinking Saturday mornings or afternoons could work, maybe Sundays? I don't know, is all up to you. I would like to know too if you have some sort of event on mind so we can make it happen.

Questions, comments, suggestions and critics are welcome!

Sounds like fun
I wouldn't be able to do Sunday evenings (i.e 6:30 PST or later) personally, but other than that I'm usually pretty available.
This would be neat if enough people are free ^-^


Also, perhaps the safari zone could be in an event?
Something like assigning different pokemon in the zone a certain number of point value, lower for easy catches and higher for rarer catches.
So everyone goes in there with 1 pokemon in their party and catches what they can, and the winner is the one who gets the highest points for what they caught from 1 safari trip.

IDK if that would work or not but I just figured I'd throw a random idea out there ^^;;;

Sounds very similar to Johto's bug catching contest. The point accumulation system is interesting, but kind of hard to manage due to the calculation formula of each pokemon's stats, nature, and level. In the past, we have done a bug catching contest that uses the same system, but it ended up being the most back-ass way to choose a winner lol. Instead of that, why not go into the Safari Zone and catch a pokemon that you want to submit. Based on its IVs and rarity, we can determine the winner. This way, it'll be a lot easier to calculate the point system.

I was thinking more along the lines of, a Nidoran isn't worth many points but a rare pokemon, like a Chansey is worth more and you show what you got by putting the 5 into a trade window with one of the people running it. But that works too

Thanks for replaying Paroxym and Plasmis!

I actually like your idea Paroxym, I would have to work out the point system later by checking the encounter rates from the Safari Zone and all that but i really think it could work.

Plasmis, maybe we could choose a winner by IVs if we do a fishing contest, like what Sirrush suggested regarding the Magikarp and Relicanth hunt.

Or like in the old Bug Catching contests it works solely on the HP stat/IV (thats how you could win with something from the Caterpi line). Still, I'd prefer to see something that combines different traits. Like rarity, level, IVs, etc. Fishing encounters would also be easy in the safari zone since they don't cost steps to get, just patience and a fishing pole. Maybe just take out the fishing encounters since they could be easily abused? (aka, fishing in one trip for a Dragonair or great IV dratini since they are fairly rare)

Since I currently have no life... erm I mean since i'm the super officer, I can help out with these events if you need it. Or I can join in and show the awesomeness that is the UK.

Hey MickyJay can you happen to host the events like in the morning or afternoon in our timezone (GMT-5) or a bit earlier for those who are still awake at your timezone? That will be nice pretty nice, and it can tie the other members together.
