Merry Christmas from ZapdosZulu!
Hey everyone, I have organised a once-off Christmas event that will be open to all members. This event will hopefully last five days and take place from December 27 to December 31, 2009. During the event, you will be able to battle one random Christmas Pokémon that will appear in the area that you’re in. These Pokémon will include the ones listed at the end of the page. If any staff would like to help on this event, feel free. It would be really appreciated. I’m not expecting a lot of people to be available for the event. However, those who are will receive Pokémon that may not be obtainable to others. Hopefully, this will work well. I think it’s time we did something exciting with the site. I’ve based the event on Prof. Oak’s Halloween event that was supposed to take place last October/November. Sadly, I’ve no custom sprite like Prof. Oak had, and I won’t be making a new board. I still think that the event could be a fun way to promote the site. Note: This event will only take place if Prof. Oak agrees to it.Merry Christmas everybody and thanks for reading. Andrew.

*squeals loudly* STANTLER!!! SNOVER!!! AND... eh, Smoochum. ;P
Hooray for Christmas. This is a very good idea - v.v. exciting! Ignore my waffle at the end of my post about not knowing what to do. I should read the new announcements more often, heh.

Haha, I take it you don't like Smoochum. I might just give you one of them now... ;D
I know right! I love Christmas. <3 Thanks, heh. I based it on Prof. Oak's idea. Too late. xD I read this afterwards. Our announcements are interesting. We don't have much pointless ones. :3

NOOO!!! *scrabbles at feet* PLEASE! Smoochum is OKAY but not... eh, the lips scare me. It looks like a hooker. TT_TT
I love Christmas too! Ah... the CD that is always dragged out from the box in the linen cupboard that is full of Frank Sinatra's cooing for a Winter Wonderland or merry Jingle Bells... the eggnog... the tree... We've decorated our tree and it looks uber cool.
Agh! Come on Christmas! It's only the 23rd, for pity's sake. HURRY UP.
Oh man. If I get a Stantler or a Snover I will DIE FROM HAPPINESS. I suppose I could live with Smoochum... provided it doesn't evolve. Jynx is... no.

Haha, niiice. xD Haha, whoa, sounds cool. x3 My Christmas tree looks fairly crap. Nobody wanted to decorate it so my dad did. xD I know right! I’m getting a new laptop. Windows 7, more memory and faster internet ftw. I WANT IT NAOW! D: Haha, I use Random.org to decide what Pokémon will appear. Heh, don’t worry, I won’t give you a Smoochum if you don’t want one. (:

Heh, thankkkk youuuuu Andrewww! We should do more of these freebie things. It's fun fun fun. By the way, why the 27th of December?

Yep, I can’t wait. Niiice. I love laptops. :3 Yeah, I hate school. :/ Heh, I go to a single sex Christian school too, but it’s not private. It’s falling down. xD Haha, no problem. It’s Christmas. Everyone should be happy. Yeah, they’re fun. Too much might lose the charm though. I don’t think there’ll be much activity on December 25 or 26. People probably want to use there presents all day and won’t have the time. xP I’ll be online for a lot of the day anyway with my laptop. I might fix up the site a little, do some advertising, organise applications for moderators, etc.

Alright, so when you read this, you'll be on a new laptop! XD Hi, Andy's laptop. Sup.
And ooh, all-boy schools. Yum yum. My old school was right next to an all-boy's school - and let me tell you, there were some fun times on that home bus. Yes. It mainly involved me staring at hot boys in my grade and talking moodily to my friends about Glen Miller. Ah, good times. Good times.
*stomps foot* Gah! After snooping around and looking at other Moderators, I have decided that I am very jealous about their role. It would so FUN to write replies to people's battles. TT__TT Note to self: be more active as to win Prof. Oak's good opinion!!!

TT__TT Note to self: be more active as to win Prof. Oak's good opinion!!! Well if the activity of users ever spikes back to what it was when I was extremely active and as one of the former active mods said 'I was turbo f***ing people's role plays' I am sure he will let you become a staff member as I have seen your posts and they are high quality and such. Though at the moment there is no real need for more staff members.

@ Caroline: Yep, I'm on my Laptop! :3 It's the coolest thing ever! Haha, hullo. Yep, all-boys... My worst nightmare! D: Haha, lucky you. xD The girl's school is at the other side of town and they get a different bus. </3 Haha, that's exactly how I felt. It's great! I actually love it. :3 Prof. Oak gave me the power to promote people to mods. He has also asked me to promote a mod or two for extra help. I can train you to be a mod if you'd like. Prof. Oak also wants members advertise and get others to advertise. I'm working on updating the advertisement for ZapdosZulu. Once that's done, we can do some advertising to get more members. Atm, I'd appreciate if someone could mod my thread. If you're definately up for being a mod, I can start a mod application and training for you. Once you've passed that you could reply to a few threads. @ phoenixchild: We're hoping that will happen soon. In the New Year, I'm planning on having at least a few more members. Haha, yeah you were awesome at speedy replies. xD In 2010, hopefully there will be a need for more moderators. That's why I'm going to start the training as soon as possible. Of course, everyone can't be a mod. I'm just choosing active people with high quality posts. Sadly, some of the other moderators aren't active right now. I haven't seen Black Unicorn, Alice, Joss, Lance, Morrigan, Ryousuke or Solent in ages. Hopefully, they'll return soon. Prof. Oak has asked me to do a few things as well as he's a little busy at the moment.

Ryo went M.I.A just after he became a moderator. Alice disapeared shortly before I had to drop the site for a bit, she has popped in and out now and again however I have no idea her situation. Blackunicorn I dunno either I used to talk to her on msn now and again but it's been a while. As for my self, life has it's ups and downs and Rping just became..well work I sorta burnt my self out with posting. I am workingon getting active, and back into Pokemon I do plan to be active on some level and I will work to get more members and bring life into this site. I have seen this place through good times (when we were booming with members and such) to bad times like when Kairi launched a personal attack on this site and such. My point is I have been on this site a while and I intend to help it get back onto it's feet. I don't know how it declined so badly from the boom it was experiencing when I was active but I will be there to help it grow again! I know we can, because we care! and we are very close knit as a community...or..we were o.O but we can be that way again!

sorry for double post but my computer won't let me edit on proboards sites at the moment : P I think we should have a reward for recruitment besides what we have now. Sort of a contest like for a single week. People who get other members to join make a profile and make one post should get a little extra something beyond the normal recuritment bonus. Just one week and it would have to be a really awesome prize

@ Andrew:
Thank you very, very much! I would be incredibly interested in becoming a mod/modding your thread. n_n I WILL OBREY YOUR COMMANDS. @.@;
And omg! 27th of December, how exciting. Boxing Day at my house was nothing special. Had people over. Ate lots.
@ Pheonix:
Thank you, Pheonix. I'm glad my posts are good enough. I've always thought that some RPs needed, well, 'better' roleplays, so I suppose I felt the need the fill that gap. At the same time, though - each to their own! ;D

@ phoenixchild: Yeah, Ryousuke didn't get to do much modding. He left fairly quickly. Same with Joss. Alice has done a lot in her time as a mod as have you. It's understandable if you can't be active for a while. Solent has only ever modded one thread as far as I know. Black Unicorn has probably done a lot. I've barely spoken to her since I joined the site though. You may not have been able to get back into posting for a while, but you still visited quite frequently. I haven't seen much of the others since October. Hopefully, they'll be back.
That would be really awesome. I miss the activity level. Hopefully, we'll get a good team to bring the site up to what it used to be. You've been through quite a lot. I had just registered while Kairi was being banned. She's still on the PokéCommunity Forums. *shudders* Whenever I see her, I get turned off a thread. I really hope we can get it back to the way it was. One day, I logged on and everyone had left. That was some time in October, I believe. Haha, yeah, I'm sure we'll be able to do something. It'll be great if we can bring back the old members as well as getting new ones.
Haha, no worries. Hmmm, I suppose that could work. It might actually be a good idea, depending on what prize and all that. Any suggestions? As far as I know, we're not supposed to give away shinies or legendaries for something like this. Maybe a Sinnoh starter or something?
@ Caroline: No problem. ^_^ I shall set that up as soon as possible. We'll start off with a fake thread, then move to mine and eventually, if all goes well, you will be promoted to a mod. Haha, you betta'. Heh, I stayed home and did nothing all day. If you want I can start the Christmas event for you right now. ;P

Hum Ryo.. I trained Ryo and he was so egear to be a mod and then just BLAM poof snap kapow! (Lol old comics reference ) he stopped coming on. Never really knew why, however it wouldn't be so bad if he had given us a reason. Hum Kairi... urg...to...troll...rising . I can't blame you for avoiding her, even when i FIRST started RIGHT away. I avoided the heck out of her I could rant for hours about how I don't like that person but I shall not I was thinking for a prize we could give away a baby pokemon! any baby pokemon of the user's choice, of course it will be in a egg at the time and they would need to hatch it. Also I have been wondering about legendaries here for a while I know Oak said he was working on it but I assume he hasn't had time >< ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lol Caroline o.o so you will obey all his commands? ..niiiccee I enjoy long roleplays as writing is something I love, but there is a time and place for them. However Quality should not be traded for qaunity unless absolutely needed.
