Blood says he's on board, but he and I are leaning towards adding a condition; we only do it to required reading. So like, Tri, Emet, Ish, Renard, Obscured Truth, so forth. The more obscure topics can be left as they were, as a monument to history and the heritage of our setting. (It also saves lots of work)

ECRUTEAK is now WINSTONE.
I'm gonna try to take these one at a time.

It is... mildly tempting to set the filter so Winstone shows up as Ecruteak, just to mess with Pohatu. But that'd be cruel, even for me. : 3

The other REALLY big one is Cherrygrove as Whelkshore, and Slateport as Salcester (Just Salcester, not Salcester City). I think that'd account for 40-70% of references between the two of them? Hm, Olivine might get dropped quite a bit, too.

CHERRYGROVE is now WHELKSHORE.
At least, for reasonably relevant RPs starting from circa LTR/Triannual.

for those of you who are interested in ancient relics, this is the archived original Phoenix Angel RP from 2004(!) I'm posting it here because it's actually a pretty notable Hector RP piece. On this note, I'd love to document some older notable stuff (namely Winter and other important RP plot events), if anyone knows where I can find all that, let me know and I can try to dig it up ETA: im gonna slap a Content Warning for unbearable angst right in the opening sentence of that one, hooooooooo boy

web.archive.org/web/20050210113618/http://www.pokeschool.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111545 Dark Truth. I'll do this one myself. It's largely considered the worst RP I ever hosted, at least through faults of my own. (Ones derailed by Prime or inactivity are a separate issue) The big problem with it is that my two big selling points are great plot twists and fresh choreography, and Dark Truth had neither. And it never answers whether the evil Lee is actually a clone of Zebedee, or the ORP universe's version of Zebedee exploiting a mystic loophole, or so forth (Later RPs establish that evil!Zebedee was a mirror of opposition style simulacrum created by Abatis to discredit a potential opponent and so that he could harvest Basilisk for parts, BUT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE RP ITSELF.)

I'm considering fully rewriting Winter, because it deserves a bigger, better, fancier incarnation if we expect all newbies to read it. Also, LOOK HOW ANGRY THE SECOND MIKO SPRITE'S EYEBROWS ARE:

hey, a note i made while i've been doing my catching-up and reading through Obscured: I noticed the edits Pohatu made recently, but are we changing all references to Johto as well? do we have a name yet for the separate regions/districts for the Archipelago?

Regarding Lee's question in the shoutbox: I can see moving The Return of Silumas into Finished RPs if Moose wants to call it a done deal. But if we're going to think of that and Flint's backstory as "tie-in fics" then should we move the likes of Muddy Season into the archive too? Maybe The Exploration and some of Elliot's microfics? And whatever else in the solo works board qualifies?

If it has an impact on canon, it should be considered part of the RP universe. I'd move anything that impacts canon into finished RPs.

I think they should go in the archive, yes. But should get a separate board, like "Single Author Plots" or something, just to keep them a bit more organized.

Sure, agreed.

Hauled off just about every RP-related fic I could find (not all of them canon, but still recognizably RP riffs) into a new board in the archive.
EDIT: Didn't move Matriarch in there since it's still in progress, but that's where I would foresee it ending up.
