Re: The Grading Group
You know how the length requirements work. The How to Write Stories thread has the full explanation. However, the length requirement is more like a strong recommendation. By all means, pass an exceptional story even if it is underlength. If a story doesn't meet its division requirements, you shouldn't pass it just because it managed to hit the limit. Call the writer out if they clearly inserted, like, completely irrelevant scenes just to get to the full length.
Is this really a Pokemon story? Does it abide by the unwritten rules of Pokemon?
Style is certainly the writer's choice. However, if they stray too far from the original spirit and universe of Pokemon, it's pretty easy to notice. We're not saying they have to fit absolutely accurately with the games or show. But. If they lose the spirit of Pokemon, sometimes, the story doesn't fit together.
For instance, talking Pokemon. So far as we know in the game/anime canon, only legendary, very telepathic, parrot-ey, or Team-Rocket-main-character Pokemon can talk. Talking Pokemon are popular in stories. This is fine. However, there should usually be a reasonable explanation. Lab-induced mutations? Strong psychic powers? An alternate universe where all Pokemon can talk?
It's not even necessary, given that Pokemon and humans generally make themselves understood to each other anyway.
There's also the deeper issue of general plausibility. This stuff is easy to understand. Plot holes, people acting out of character, descriptions of the same object changing between paragraphs, egregious violations of the laws of physics or narrative. Does the protagonist suddenly transform into Mr. T? Does a Poke Ball alternate between being a Great Ball and a Net Ball? Did the writer leave a character dangling off the cliff then completely forget about him or her? Point out any niggles like this.
The Capture
The purpose of a URPG story is the capture of Pokemon. Most stories feature an actual capture attempt in the plot itself, even if this is not necessary. However, the Pokemon listed for capture must show up in the story somewhere. The harder the Pokemon is to capture, the more important to the story it must be. A Porygon-Z story had better have that Porygon-Z do something interesting. Cameos aren't enough.
If the story puts the capture before the end and continues on after the Pokemon is captured, this is still fine. It is necessary, in fact, for multiple-capture stories. Don't worry about that.
Again, the common practice of ending the story on a "will the Poke Ball work?" situation is not necessary. If you see a promising writer using this mechanism over and over again, let them know that other endings are possible. A lot of competition entries end stories in creative ways.
The Personal Opinion
You, the grader, are human. Take advantage of that. If you have some sort of gut feeling about the story, listen to your gut. Don't base your entire grade around it, but it may influence your decision when the story quality is on the borderline. However, remember to grade based on the story, not the writer. Who wrote it is irrelevant. If you dislike someone, do not touch their stories!
Most borderline stories can be bumped up to "capture" on principle. I would recommend doing so, generally. However, if a writer has been posting a lot of borderline captures lately, let them know. It'd be bad if they decided to do a Stupefying next, 'r something, and were horribly surprised when they didn't capture it the first time.
The Author
You should take into account the writer's previous works only for figuring out if you can do a more complex grade on a longer (60k+) story. If the same issues always come up in previous grades and they've shown up yet again, point 'em out again and shake your e-fist gently. First-time or sophomore efforts, though, should be graded really nicely. They should rarely fail. However, if it's a good story, it's a good story... so pass it!
The First Story
First stories are usually sketchy. The writer is still learning the rules and how to tell a good story. Helpful feed back is useful. Encouragement is most important. Don't drown them in complex theory, or even simple theory. Help them float, even moreso than you would an experienced writer. Your goal here, as always, is not just to evaluate the story but to guide the writer into understanding what a storyteller can be, and that they can be one.
First stories should generally be passes under pretty much any situation.
The Tone
You should have both supportive and corrective aspects in your grade. Don't roast the writer under any circumstances; do include suggestions for how to improve their writing. Don't gush without content; do praise what they did well. Constructive criticism is the best kind; remember to leave the writer with the feeling that they can, will, and want to improve their writing (either for their next story, or the regrade).
The Grade
Pick whichever of the above sections you feel would be the most helpful in evaluating this story. The plot is the most important part, though; is it a good story? Is it fun? Is it a rousing tale? Does it measure up to the level of the Pokemon the author wants? Your true objective is to help your author become a confident writer who is always seeking self-improvement.
More than that, don't just try to turn them into a carbon copy of your favorite type of writing. Show them how to improve what they're already doing; recommend techniques or ideas that mesh well with their style and voice. Don't tell them they're doing something wrong (unless it's grammar)... show them how they can do it better.
(If he or she writes much better than you do, you might want to call for help from a more experienced grader, if such a person exists.) Don't discourage them; show them that they've got the right skills and they know how to use them.

November 28, 2014
On December 15th Okaloosa County Sheriff's Deputies say they spotted 26-year old Brittney Anna Bowman's vehicle swerving on Highway 98 in Destin.
The deputy who stopped Bowman asked her to get out of the car for a field sobriety test and claims a bag of cocaine fell out of the vehicle.
Bowman was teaching at Crestview High School to the time.
Last month Bowman began teaching algebra at South Walton High School.
Someone brought her arrest to the attention of Walton County School Superintendent Carlene Anderson.
Anderson say the district was unaware the incident because the state's Professional Practices Commission did not follow proper protocol.
"When Ms. Bowman was hired in Walton County she met all the qualifications and requirements for employment," said Superintendent Carlene Anderson. "It was later discovered that her certificate is still being reviewed by the Florida Professional Practices Commission. She has tendered her resignation which would be effective October 1st, 2013."
This is not Bowman's first arrest. In November 2006 she was charged with burglary, as well as battery on a law enforcement officer.

In the context of a game, Achievements and Trophies are harmless. They're just carrot-dangling tactics that we're happy to indulge for our greedy pursuit of intangible virtual rewards. We wouldn't think twice about nail-bombing a kitten orphanage if it meant five more gamer points.
But, let's say, purely for the purposes of this here article, that we take Achievements and Trophies out of their virtual world settings and reconsider them in real-life situations. Suddenly they don't seem quite so innocent. In fact, some of them are sick, irresponsible, criminal, socially unacceptable and/or morally questionable. In games they give us a sense of smug, triumphant satisfaction. But if we did any of the following for real... well, we probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Afro Samurai
Let It Flow: Spill 2000 gallons of blood (15G)
Well done! You simply don't care about all those people in desperate need of a blood transfusion.
Alarm for Cobra 11: Burning Wheels
Shopping Spree: Drive straight through a supermarket (10G)
Well done! You've recklessly endangered the lives of shoppers and created a worthless stockpile of damaged packet goods, tinned foods, soft fruits and toiletries.

Fisherman's Foe: Shoot a goldfish (10G/Bronze Trophy)
Well done! You've dispatched a projectile from the barrel of a firearm and successfully targeted a harmless ornamental aquatic pet traditionally kept in a bowl of water by children whose parents refuse to buy them a proper animal companion.
Battlefield: Bad Company
Manic Lumberjack: Knock down a small forest (15G/Bronze Trophy)
Well done! You've destroyed another of the planet's ever dwindling oxygen factories and completely buggered the local wildlife.
Blitz: The League II
Testikill: Ruptured 10 scrotums (20G/Silver Trophy)
Well done! You've obliterated the baby-making equipment of 10 men. They will now have to undergo invasive exploratory scrotal surgery to have any hope of salvaging their nuts.
Bomberman Act Zero
1,000,000 Bombs: You have set 1,000,000 bombs (50G)
Well done! You are a terrorist.
Bully: Scholarship Edition

Well done! You've humiliated another human being, consequently eroding their self-esteem and causing them great emotional distress and rectal pain in the process.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
No Rest for the Weary: Stab an injured crawling enemy (10G)
Well done! You've stuck a sharp combat knife into a defenceless man as he drags his already-wounded-ass through the dirt.
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
Arkansas Fried Rooster: Blow up 10 chickens with dynamite (10G/Bronze Trophy)
Well done! You've harnessed the impressive explosive power of nitro-glycerine to exterminate a bunch of harmless, domesticated flightless birds.
Darkest of Days
Bomb Technician: Kill yourself with an explosive device (25G)
Well done! You are a suicide bomber.
Def Jam Icon
Ladies Man: Have 4 satisfied girlfriends simultaneously (35G)
Well done! You're a dirty cheating snake-in-the-grass that doesn't give a shit about other people just as long as you get a regular ride and look like the big man to all your mates.
Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard
Fire Hazard: Shoot and destroy 30 fire extinguishers (20G/Bronze Trophy)
Well done! By annihilating these pressurised protection devices you've significantly lowered the chances of a small fire being doused before it rages into a people-melting inferno.
Fallout 3
Psychotic Prankster: Placed a grenade or mine while pick pocketing (10G/Bronze Trophy)
Well done! You are shameless, scheming, scum-bag filth with an aversion to honesty and are reviled by all decent, hard-working folk. And you like to blow up your victims in the most cowardly way possible.
Hannah Montana: The Movie Game
Big Spender: Buy 100 articles of clothing (100G/Silver Trophy)
Well done! You've become an obedient consumer of overpriced apparel stitched together in Third World sweat shops by impoverished four-year old children.

Warming liquids as a sex lube is a fairly new thing, but the popularity of them has grown significantly since they were first introduced. It is a very difficult thing for companies to develop new types of personal lubricants that can be competitive because the market is already so highly populated. There are flavored lubes, desensitizing lubricants, hot lubes and water, silicone and oil based sex lubes. With an overcrowded market like this it is easy to understand how hard it is to introduce a new product.
Warming liquid is a sex lube that creates a warming effect because of the special ingredients that the formula is made from. The warming sensation is felt on the surface of the skin wherever the product is applied to, but also when it makes contact with your natural body moisture. The main ingredient in almost every warming sex lube is glycerin. Glycerin is a chemical compound that is colorless, odorless and is considered as a viscous liquid. This ingredient is most commonly used in pharmaceutical formulas. It is a sugar alcohol that has a very sweet taste to it and an extremely low toxicity. There are also other ingredients in warming lubes that include Propylene Glycol, alcohol, herbal extracts and vitamins. Some products also use capsaicin which is the active component in spicy chili peppers. Some companies have started to make edible and flavored warming lubricants that include natural and artificial flavors to give it a unique taste.
Warming lubricants come in two different types: water based and silicone based, but both of these contain the same ingredients to create the warm sensation on your skin. Water based warming sex lubes are primarily used on the vagina, anus and sex toys. A water based sex lube is really great because it is incredibly easy to clean off your body after use. All of the formulas are water soluble so they practically run off your body when you are in the shower. In addition to this, they do not interfere in any way with the effectiveness of a latex condom. Many sex lubes cause damage to the latex which can leave you open to sexually transmitted diseases. This is not a risk that anyone should be taking in the world today, so it is important to be educated on the type of sex lube you and your partner use and what its benefits are.

Seminarians of the world were given support and encouragement in a letter from Pope Benedict XVI on the Feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist, October 18.
In his letter to seminarians marking the end of the Year for Priests the Pope recalled how in 1944 as a draftee in the German army he expressed his desire to become a Catholic priest to which an officer replied "Then you ought to look for something else. In the new Germany priests are no longer needed." The Pope then added that "many people nowadays also think that the Catholic priesthood is not a "job" for the future, one that belongs more in the past."

Texas has one of the best employment rankings in the U.S.
It's not surprising to hear about someone moving because of a new job offer. However, it may soon become more common for people to move to an area before receiving employment because they believe it will be easier to find work there.
If that's the case, they may want to refer to Portfolio.com's recent State-by-State Midyear Rankings report. It ranks all states and the District of Columbia according to employment opportunities.
Topping the list are North Dakota, Alaska, and Texas, Portfolio.com said. North Dakota had a 7.8 percent job growth rate in the private sector between 2005 and 2010. It was 4.4 percent and 5.9 percent for Alaska and Texas, respectively.
The states with the worst economies and employment outlooks were Nevada, California, and Florida, according to Portfolio.com. There was no private sector job growth in these areas, with the worst experiencing a 10.5 percent loss. All of their unemployment rates sat well above the national average.
States with good employment rankings are also more likely to have a stable housing market, which will make it easier for a person moving to buy or rent a home in that area.

To paraphrase President Obama's speech on 12/4/13 to the Center For American Progress: Our strength is grounded in our individuals, civic, religious and business leaders working and making things happen. But government can't stand on the sidelines; it can and should refocus our energies on building an economy that grows for everybody.

Starting this week, new players can join the Xsyon fantasy sandbox mmorpg community and start their own tribe for free.
Creating their own homesteads, new free players can shape the land explore the games extensive architecture system on their own, without the aid of other Xsyon citizens!
These systems represent the core of the game as players have molded the land and constructed impressive and creative towns, tree houses, fortresses and monuments.
If you are new to Xsyon or are one of the many who have tried out Xsyon but never had the chance to enjoy the tribe, terraforming and building systems, now is a good time to check things out!
The apocalyptic fantasy sandbox MMORPG, Xsyon has released its most highly anticipated update of the year, introducing farming and cooking systems to the game!
Xsyon players can now plant and raise a variety of different crops, watering, tending and fertilizing them to obtain bountiful harvests.
Xsyons innovative cooking system allows players to combine the ingredients and seasonings of their choice to create their own recipes. Players must match ingredient types and flavors to produce dishes that provide buffs and bonuses. Players can save their recipes in a cookbook and create special signature dishes.
This update also ramps up the survival aspect of the game as players now forage, fish, build fires and cook to survive and thrive in this apocalyptic new world!
Full patch notes are here
The biggest patch of the year so far, terrain reversion, is here!
Since launch, Xsyon players have been shaping the landscape, raising mounds, digging trenches, carving creeks and laying the foundations for their homesteads, cities and monuments.
With tribes moving and becoming abandoned, the sandbox game world became disrupted over time with scars of past projects across the land.
This week's big terrain reversion update erodes the land as it reverts back to its original form. The cleaned up terrain provides untouched areas for new players to settle and current players to migrate, expand and facilitate travel and trade routes.

How to help seniors age independently
Updated On: Feb 25 2013 11:13:07 AM CST
(NewsUSA) - Ask most seniors if they want to age independently in their own homes, and they likely will say yes. Surveys show 95 percent of people over the age of 75 desire to age in place, and about a quarter of seniors live alone.
These numbers are just the beginning. Baby Boomers are now turning 65 at a rate of about 8,000 a day, according to AARP. But what if you're the adult child of one of those independent-minded seniors? What if, like Alison Jacobson, whose SafetyMom.com blog has a loyal following, you find yourself frequently worrying about your parents' well-being?
"While aging-in-place is the goal for most seniors, how do you, as the adult child, ensure sure they're safe?" she asks.
Here are some tips for dealing with the situation:
* Preventing falls. Falls are a leading cause of injury and death for seniors. Like the worry Jacobson describes, a new survey by market researchers Toluna found that a far greater number of caregivers were concerned about seniors being injured than seniors themselves were (76.1 percent vs. 33 percent). One simple first step is to remove all scatter rugs and make sure electric cords don't extend into high-traffic areas.
* Upgrading lights. While seniors sometimes may be reluctant to admit it, vision diminishes with age. So, brighten lights in kitchen work areas to reduce the risk of burns and cuts.
* Tech fix. The latest technology is the answer to substantial research highlighting the importance of staying connected for both seniors and caregivers. Harvard University researchers found that the odds of mental decline doubled for seniors with no social ties, for example, while Toluna's survey looked at the emotional toll on those trying to help loved ones age in place.
"For caregivers, ease of communication with the seniors they love relieves stress, reduces guilt and builds rich relationships," says expert on successful aging Adriane Berg.

Gail Simone to write Batgirl... No, really.
A lot of weird things have happened at DC this year, but man are they finishing strong with this bizarre Batgirl situation. First there was the rumor "Gail Simone is leaving Batgirl," then there was the "I have not left Batgirl" quote, then OH WAIT, no, she was fired from the book... and that seemed to be that... UNTIL NOW.
Now, well... Gail is writing the book once again! No, for real... she just announced it on her Twitter.
Like I said, this is just fucking weird.
I'll get this out of the way, good news, I thought Batgirl was on a pretty good upswing of late, so if Simone continues to write it, I have no problem with it... But moving past this, what the hell is going on?! This probably says a lot about editorial at DC, what exactly, I don't know, but I'm sure it's something. I'm going to guess that someone above Brian Cunningham (Batgirl editor... for now) with the last name Johns, Lee, Harras or *GASP* Didio, sent an email along the lines of "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" and that was that.
Now what does this mean for the two issues Ray Fawkes was going to write? I'm not sure. I have to imagine Gail had scripts done, which could easily just be used, but who knows, we'll have to see.
UPDATE: Just read on Simone's tumblr that Ray Fawkes will still be doing issues #17 and #18, she returns with #19.

Hi there,
I have a qusetion about Warrior Knights, specifically how the rules about permision work.
My group's having some trouble figuring out what to do when permission is NOT granted for attacking a city.
What is the exact timing of when permission is needed to attack a city? Is that before or after I declare my target space? Is the action lost entirely is permission is denied, or may I nominate a different area with my action?
For instance, let's say I reveal my Mobilize Forces action card. I want to start a siege of a neutral city where one of my opponents has a noble present. By rule, I cannot attack that city without first securing his permission. Do I...
A) Ask my opponents if he will give me permission to attack that city, and then if he says yes, I nominate that area and begin my siege?
B) Nominate the area first and announce my intention to attack the city, and then ask my opponent for permsision?
In both cases, if the opposing player does NOT grant me permission, what happens then? Do I get to nominate a different area to move troops into and attack? Or is my ation considered to have failed and is thus lost?
Thank you for any clarification you can provide.
