• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Now that we have a new approval system to try out, time to move on to the next thing. Being a referee requires that you do essentially two things: determine what happens in a round and translate that into changes in health and energy scores, and then write about it. Some people find one or the...

    Yeah, I'll get stuff together fairly soon.

    Yeah, there are way too many possibilities in a single round for someone to reasonably go through and enumerate them all.

    To an extent, but I don't think it would have to be all that thorough.

    You mean make up an arena and sets of commands yourself? That's how Serebii does it. The only issue I have would be that it would be pretty easy for people to come up with a command string that would be easy to ref rather than one that would give a real indication of the limits of their...

    Sorry, I formatted that poorly--I meant the item would be an extra prize to the newbie if they won. For consolation prize, yeah, I'd probably just increase money to $5/pokémon or something. Not a huge change, but enough to make a difference. Like Skylark says, I was just intending for the...

    The way I had envisioned it, these battles would not count towards the battle cap, but would still give normal EXP/monetary rewards This was actually what I was thinking... allow the newbie to use any (nonlegendary) pokémon they pleased rather than their usual team for this battle, and then, to...

    So this got kind of pushed aside for a bit due to preparations for the Battle for Asber, but it's very important, so I'd like to get back into it. One thing and another, I think that I'm leaning most towards having referees participate in training battles; it seems like the best way to ensure...

    Promotion will be based on evaluating recent reffings.

    Right, so, looking this over, most people seem to prefer option number two. It's also encouraging that some people would also be willing to volunteer to actually be one of the mentor-types. I agree with Kusari that we would probably want advanced/elite referees to do the mentoring. In addition...

    So, reffing is one of the most important activities that goes on in the league, and despite all the changes the league has gone through in the past six years, it's stayed more or less the same, except for how people get paid for doing it. There are some consistent problems with reffing, too...
