Social RP Edition. At some point, I should actually do one of these RPs The Lonely Snover: Every holiday season, one snover prepares the vacation cabin for his human family to visit. Unfortunately, the kids grew up and the parents don't want to travel. Snover will have to spend the holidays alone. Can a festive band of trainers save the season and make Snover's days merry and bright? This would be a social RP where trainers would share all the adventures they enjoyed in the past year and/or hopes for the next. Possibilities: 1. Trainers and pokemon take turns decorating Snover. Each contributes a memento of one of their big accomplishments that year. 2. Prepare a massive feast, with all the kitchen antics to go with it. Among the feast: Christmas cookies. They take the shape of the wondeful and strange figures and creatures the trainer met throughout their journey. 3. There's a broadcast of the Sinnoh Christmas parade that Snover simply cannot miss. However, he cannot get on the roof to fix the antenna. Help him without breaking your neck. 4. Snover dresses up as Santa and insists trainers sit with him and tell him what they want for Christmas. Or perhaps share their goals for the new year. 5. Santa Snover wants to pass gifts out to the orphans in town. He spent all year crafting elaborate ice sculptures to give away. Unfortunately, they all melted. He's now ridden with grief. Help make a new batch of gifts to save Christmas.

Hey all! I took some evenings and hammered out a working beta for our Job Board prompt generator :D
It's very simple and not perfect, but should work to help spark ideas for threads -- which I figure was the intent of such a thing. Now the question is: where would you guys like it to live? Someplace you'd remember to look when trying to come up with thread ideas :3
And of course! If you have any more prompt suggestions post away ^^ Right now it's a bit limited in some categories, but it should only get better with time.

Oh wow, this looks awesome! I had to switch skin though but that is no surprise XD
If we want to put it one place, "How to play" perhaps? Mod board sounds a bit like it's only for mod to use, and everything else is not really ingame areas and would be weird.
How does it work? Is the list build into the code somehow, or does it fetch it from somewhere else? How easy would it be to ad new prompts or categories?
Oh! I like how the NPC names are randomized! Although a "Farmer Susan" who wants to be a bug catcher was a bit funny XD

:o It *should* work in all skins, but maybe I forgot a plugin setting somewhere. Def let me know what isn't working for you on any skins! As well as any broken things anyone else discovers :3
*I did notice if you change pages [within the thread], PB does something with unloading scripts so you have to refresh the page to make it work again.
It works like any regular plugin. I was gunna throw some mod instructions up later tonight :3 Should be super easy to add/edit/remove prompts as needed.
And yeah xD Some of the NPC pairings can be pretty funny. I also like when it pairs the Farmers with the prompt where they "[don't] like nature"

It works now, so I guess it was that and that I needed to refresh. It didn't show the filters I could choose first. A note about that would probably be good, so people know how to easy fix it ^^
If it ends in the How to play, it should probably have a little guide too, to explain what it is and that everyone can use it, and it is purely inspirational ^^

I have placed this job-board plugin on its own custom page which can be found in the main navigation links at the top of the forum. Always looking to expand its repertoire! There are 2 kinds of things it takes for inputs so feel free to make full text prompts as seen earlier in this thread, or partials that suit the fields described below. NPC - NPC Name - Can be a group (like 'Team Rocket' or 'The City of...') Prompts - Prompt Text - Type (Delivery, Fetch, Rescue, etc) - Is it compatible with Group Entities? (Yes/No)

- (Delivery) None of the local pizza place's employees want to deliver to #NPC's remote country home. Can you make the trip?
- (Fetch) #NPC wants to get (their) daughter a Pokemon as a birthday present. (They're) asking for help in learning to catch one.
- (Fetch) #NPC has never seen a rare Pokemon before and will pay good money for a photo of them in their natural environment.
- (Rescue) #NPC's son was last seen following a group of Pokemon into the woods. Can you make sure he's okay?
- (Rescue) #NPC's beloved pet Pokemon disappeared when (their) family moved cities. Can you reunite them?
- (Investigation) #NPC is convinced (their) next-door neighbors are secretly working for Team Rocket and is looking to hire a private investigator to follow them around.

- (Escort) #NPC fell and broke (their) leg while hiking, can you see (them) safely home?
Compatible with group entities: - (Investigation) #NPC's package was stolen by thieves! Track it down and help (them) get it back.
- (Investigation) #NPC is seeing strange shadows outside at night and fears it might be a ghost. See if you can assuage (their) worries.
- (Help) A big Pokemon battle destroyed the usual route that Trainers take and #NPC is seeking help to find an alternate path.
- (Rescue) A Fearow swooped down and flew off with #NPC's Togepi! Can you track the bird to its nest and rescue the baby?
Entities not relevant: - (Investigation) A swarm of wild Pokemon has appeared near town, but it appears they're fleeing something. Can you solve the mystery and help the Pokemon safely return to their homes?

These looks great Jenesis!
Could it be an idea/option to have a description somewhere, describing what its for? Don't know if it should be a part of the thing itself, or it would be better under some other info?

That's probably a good idea. We can add things to the page it's on, and would probably be an idea to link to this thread there too :3
Any recommendations on descriptive text that could accompany our Job Board on its page?
And thanks so much Jenesis! I'll take a look at getting those input sometime soon <3

It looks like the ghost prompt is stuck with its own "Investigate" tab instead of being part of the "Investigation" one.
New post, new suggestions:
(Delivery) #NPC wants to deliver a love letter to (their) secret crush #NPC2, but is too shy to do it in person. (Single entity only) (Fetch) #NPC is searching for (their) hat which was blown away by a sudden gust of wind. (Single entity only) (Investigation) A pack of wild Pokemon is roaming the city begging for food, and attacking those who don't feed it! (Help) The local Pokemon Center caught on fire! Water Pokemon are urgently requested to help put it out! (Help) A flock of aggressive Swanna are blocking the path out of town and scaring the residents. (Help) A local dog-walker took on too many clients at once and is seeking help wrangling the pack of dog Pokemon. (Rescue) #NPC's Luvdisc was washed downstream in a recent flood. Can you find it and bring it home? (Rescue) A frightened Pokemon was chased by a predator and is now trapped at the top of a tree. (Escort) The Pokemon School is seeking chaperones for a field trip to the nearby cave.

Whoops! Thanks for catching that Jenesis. Typo on my part :3 But! Good news, we can easily create new categories IF there seems to be another type that suits a range of other kinds of 'jobs' ^^
Ty again for the suggestions!
