It's time for the...
JUNE ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Make sure to read every topic thoroughly to ensure you do not miss any important information. Those who decide to skip around and find themselves to be confused later will simply be redirected to this Announcement. Anyone who refuses to read this Announcement runs the risk of temporarily losing the ability to earn dots.
Welcome to EPOCH!
Welcome to EPOCH! Celebrating 2+ years of the RP scene. We're a Pokemon Manga Sandbox RP site dedicated to its members and always improving. If you're just getting started Check out the: Guidebook to see all of what we offer and Pokedex 101 to get used to how we operate and work so you can be taken care of on the board.
ACTIVITY CHECK
Please make a single post and tag all of your characters! If you would like to archive a character, please make a note in the post of who you are archiving. This is important to keeping our Directory up to date so we can keep important positions filed with active members!
This AC will last for a week after the announcement has been posted, before the Staff will begin archiving anyone who didn't post. If you skip two ACs, your accounts will be deleted.
For those with Title Positions, even if you post in the Activity Check, if you have not posted with your character in the RP boards, you will run the risk of having your position revoked. If you have no posts within the previous month or a post made with your character by the end of this week, your character will lose their position. This also applies to Psychics and Aura Users! For those with Breeders, if you have not made your required posts in the boards either, your farms may be temporarily shut down to encourage actual threading outside of them.

Inventory Day!
Welcome to EPOCH's official INVENTORY DAY! To encourage everyone to keep their inventory threads up to date, once per month there will be an Inventory Day where everyone will be required to post up their current inventory status in their receipt threads as a reference point for staff. Even if there have been no changes, you will still need to post back up an Inventory Update! Consider it a means of proving you have read the Announcement.
Remember to keep your Receipt threads up to date, or we will have to default to modded receipt threads! Don't be the guy that ruins it for everyone.
MODS, make sure you check inventories to ensure people have the equipment necessary to complete their requested task before slapping approval stickers on anything!

EPOCH Updates!
General Updates
All of Epoch will be receiving some quality of life adjustments - you may notice a moved button or two, or a rewrite of some information here or there. This is an attempt to get everything cleaned up and as simple as possible for any changes we may implement in the future! As of right now, the staff is in the process of doing an upgrade to a lot of our information pages and creating a more straight forward and clear cut guide for members to better follow. Please excuse us for being slow during this point in time as we wish to get this information updated ASAP.
cBox Updates
After various issues with the cbox lately, this is just a reminder that there have been some etiquette rules posted up recently that you can find located here. A quick TL;DR is provided there, but for an extra reminder please keep in mind the cbox is not a place for you to vent about IRL issues, give unnecessary Facebook like status updates, battle each other in an IC like fashion, be passive aggressive and disrespectful, or bring down the mood in general. If you find yourself in a bad mood, the cbox is not the place for you.
IC UPDATES!
LEGENDARY EFFECTS
Lugia has been summoned and it is not happy! Read more about how this affects the whole board here. Feel free to continue making threads for the following month set in Lugia's madness, but Catching Threads will not be effected anymore!
Also, cities and towns will now begin rebuilding and recovering from the previous destruction that was caused by the destructive weather. All coastal towns are experiencing some light rain and effects still, but things have begun to clear up from the recent issues.

HOT TOPICS OF MAY!
Member Input Needed!
This topic was posted up by @priest for all members to go and check out to post up opinions on what about our current systems and Guidebook information can be polished up on for upcoming updates. If you have ever struggled with understanding anything in the 101 or Guidebook, please post about it in this thread so we can see about making the information more straight forward in upcoming updates.
Psychic & Aura User FAQ
The Psychic & Aura User FAQ thread was posted up a bit of a ways back by Lyro for members to get all questions about anything Psychic or Aura User related answered and clarified. If you have any questions about psychic moves, abilities, or psychic/aura user characters, please direct all of your inquiry to this thread so it can all be answered and put up for future updates so no one else is confused in the future.
