RANKINGS
1st Place: 135pts Altios (#540)
2nd Place: 101pts SpeedXaaa (#6617)
3rd Place: 7pts dragonmaster80 (#414)
4th Place: 1pts hawkscar (#5838)

recieved. experince. dicsuss.

What do these words have in common? It shouldn't be hard to figure out that, they all are horribly misspelled. Unfortunately, TPK is known for having these misspellings all over the game, but its time to change that, with your help! Spellathon is about fixing minor issues in TPK, while themed around spelling errors, it can be really just about any minor detail. Spellathon is going to be a yearly contest on TPK at the beginning of the year, almost like a new years resolution to a better game.

To enter, simply compile a list of errors and submit them as a post to this thread. I will edit your post as I fix them, and award points to the first person to point out the error. If there isn't an error, or your rewrite isn't any better than what is there originally, no points will be awarded. If you are the last poster, you may edit new errors in, but otherwise don't edit your posts.

Any official linked part of TPK can be searched. Any of the main pages obviously, but also Scyther commands, F.A.Q., boards, footer links, and TPK Tools.

For now the WiKingdom will be excluded, unless there is interest in including it in the contest.

Points:
1: Spelling/Grammar mistake
1: Broken Image or 404 Link
3: Rewrite of a success/error message for clarity
5+: Rewriting text in game (Depends on how long/clear it is)
10: Great idea for a layout change on any pages. (This has to be really good for me to accept it)

The final judgement call for points is me, these are guidelines.

Submitting:
Don't use the color yellow, I will be responding to each submission in yellow. Be clear about where to find your piece of text. here's an example:


Quote by [TM06] Demon
The Impossible Game: "CorDFKLDrect" should be "Correct" when you enter a correct number.
Leave Clan: When you you leave a clan it should say "You left (clan name)." instead of "You left your clan."



Prizes: (May change)
1st: SpiritCaterpie M (Level: 43) + $1,500,000 per Point Earned
2nd: ForestAerodactyl F (Level: 5) + $1,500,000 per Point Earned
3rd: SoullessDratini M (Level: 9) + $1,500,000 per Point Earned
Any other: $1,500,000 per Point Earned

(1st/2nd place may choose a lower prize if wished.)

You may ask any questions about the contest in this thread before you begin, or ask me in chats.
Grammar <censored>s Away,

Here's just some minor fixes as I find them. Some of them are so minor they're trivial, therefore I don't really expect to get anything out of some of them (i.e.: one punctuation error in one paragraph), but I feel like every little bit of help counts. I'll bold and color reed what the fix(es) is/are. Things that are in green I feel are a little unclear and may need more clarification as to what you mean.

RPG Rules

Any inappropriate language and more 'mature' topics will not be tolerated on TPK. This includes, but is not limited to: curse words and any topic that would not be considered child- friendly[/color].

#8 Advertising:
Do not advertise 'competing' RPGs in any way on TPK. Using any form of offical TPK communication to promote or refer other users to another website will result in a ban. This includes direct links to implying that users should play another game. If you are unsure as to whether a link will be considered adversting, ask a staff member. +4 B0sh

(^I removed the quotations on &quot;competing&quot; here. Among other things.^)

Do not have drug or alcohol-[/b]related conversations. +2 B0sh

If we feel necessary, you will be banned temporarily unless it is obvious an account was made purely for advertising[/b] (which results in a permanent ban). Talking about other Pokemon RPGs is also considered to be advertising. +2 B0sh



Forum mistakes:
*size tags don't seem to work. At least, highlighting and clicking don't work, anyhow. Neither does something such as &quot;[size=5]This is text.[/size]&quot; Maybe the size tags aren't fully implemented? Come to think of it, none of the drop-down tags seem to work. Font, Color, and Align also don't actually show the code in the post field when clicked.
I haven't fixed this yet, but I see the problem

This may not be the best place to suggest this, but while we're on the topic of the forums: quote tag buttons and/or spoiler tags / spoiler tag buttons would be really nice. c; i wanna do these, but thats a little down the line. B0sh

It would also be nice to do something about certain characters on the forums. For instance, a lot of the time when editing a post, an apostrophe will be a certain combination of characters (&quot;&amp;*#&quot;, without the asterisk there). Gets a little annoying, especially since that shows in thread titles. fixed +3 B0sh

And sorry, for some reason I have to separate my post into three posts because of this error message.

I also can't get Soul Fragments for some odd reason. Already fixed B0sh

-------------------

Edit:

Sometimes on the map, you can find a &quot;briefcase.&quot; I honestly didn't know what this did until Alpha mentioned that it probably meant I got more money. I looked at my money count, and surely enough, it did. Why not have an additional message when you find a briefcase? Such as,

&quot;You found a briefcase!

There was $1,000,000 in the briefcase!&quot; There was a message, but I went ahead and added a forced delay so you see it. Good idea +3 B0sh

----------------------------

Image
&quot;fainted&quot; would probably be a better term. c; It's less harsh and more canon to the Pokemon games. ;p Very smart +1 B0sh

----------------------------

Any time I'm in any Team TPK tab, the tab is titled as &quot;Soulless Machine.

F.A.Q. page-

Q.3 clarity/rewrite - recommend leech seed and poisonpowder moves for faster level grinding I intentionally didn't include specific moves, good idea though - B0sh

Q.6 &quot;a ppearing&quot; should be &quot;appearing&quot;, &quot;visitthe&quot; should be changed to &quot;visit the&quot; +2 - B0sh

Q.7 &quot;fonud&quot; should be &quot;found&quot; +1 - B0sh

(parentheses means addition, strikethrough is subtraction) +1 - B0sh

Q.12 &quot;aswell&quot; should be &quot;as well&quot;, &quot;The vendors&quot; should be replaced with just &quot;Vendors&quot; +2 - B0sh

I'll update when I find more time to look, but a neat contest to resolve many of the minor nicks in the website.

Oh, a note on soul fragments, I can't seem to collect them normally either, but I found that after I press &quot;collect soul fragments&quot; I press the main soulless machine page and I am able to collect them Already been fixed - B0sh
January 9th, 2016 08:41 AMRE: [Staff Contest] Spellathon 2016
I'll edit these as I find more. You can change the point value for these however you want, i'm just putting them under where I feel they should be grouped. My fixes will be in green, btw.
Side note-- Blocking clan applications doesn't work. People can still apply. Also, switching bank account types causes this to happen.

Soulless Machine:
&quot;Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the infamous Soulless Machine, one of my greatest achievements! I am the previous head of Team Rocket's Science Team and my team and I have come up with something we didn't think possible! We developed a machine that literally rips a Pokémon's soul directly out of it's own body! It's an amazing feat, but we currently don't have a use for the Pokémon's souls yet. All we know is that the souls of these Pokémon have an extraordinary power, and that Pokémon without souls are far stronger than Pokémon that have souls! We believe that a Pokémon without a soul becomes ruthless, an unstopable terror with unimaginable power. My team and I are constantly working on and upgrading this machine as well. We hope you enjoy this non-charity program!

So now you want to use this machine, don't you? All you have to do is supply the pokemon that we're extracting the soul from, pay a fine price of $500,000, and provide 7 Soul Fragments! But unfortunately, my precious machine only has a 25% chance of working so you'll have to pay an addition $500,000 for each of your attempts! If it fails, you will not get a refund on your money, but thankfully your Soul Fragments will not be used. When you extract a Pokémon, you can try for a new one, but the price will continue to increase. The Pokémon we are extracting the souls from will change on the 1st and the 15th of every month.&quot;

Welcome! This contraption in front of me is none other than the fabled Soulless Machine. This machine will harmlessly extract the soul from a Pokémon's body. When a Pokémon becomes Soulless, it will become stronger than when its previous form that had a soul. We only extract two different Pokémon each month, so be sure to check in on the 1st and 15th of each month to see if you can get your hands on your very own Soulless Pokémon! There is a small $500,000 fee to extract a soul. The machine has a 25% success rate, so you may have to attempt more than once. Each additional attempt will be increased by $500,000. You will also need 7 Soul Fragments for the machine to work properly. You can obtain these fragments by donating Pokémon to me. I will be looking for a specific type of Pokémon each day, and I do not accept Pokémon purchased from shops. +10 B0sh

Clan Donations:
&quot;For those who want to contribute to their clan without donating automatically can set an individual clan tax.&quot;
If you would like to contribute to your clan without manually donating, you can set an individual clan tax here. +5 B0sh

Referrals:
&quot;Simply handing out the link below to family or friends can fetch yourself Referral points to purchase the prizes below aswell however there is conditions before earning a point the newly registered member must play for at least 1 Hour (Playtime) to earn one the point, after Trainer Level 8 any earned Trainer Level will gain a point aswell.&quot;
It's as simple as telling your friends or family about the game. Whenever somebody registers an account using your referral link and plays for at least an hour, you will earn a referral point. If a person you refer reaches Trainer Level 8, you will earn an extra referral point for each additional Trainer Level they get to. +5 B0sh

Report User:
&quot;If you have a rule infringement to report, using this form you can direct the attention of a staff member to that person. Do not take this form lightly. Please include any and all relevant information about the report as possible. We may contact you if questions are needed, but only if necesarry.&quot;
If you believe that someone has broken one or more rules, you may use this form to send a report. This will allow staff members to keep an eye on that person and try to figure out what's going on. However, abusing this form could potentially get yourself in trouble, so be smart when submitting a report. Please provide as much information as possible about the report. You may be contacted by staff if further questions are needed, but only if necessary. +5 B0sh

TPK Chat:
&quot;Rules of the RPG continute to apply though, things said in TeamSpeak can get you banned. If you have any questions please consult a staff member.&quot;
The rules of the RPG still apply, however, so be aware that things said in TeamSpeak can still dish out consequences. If you have any questions, feel free to ask a staff member. +4 B0sh

Team Machinery:
&quot;EXP. Packets are Team Rocket's latest invention. EXP. Packets when equipped to a Pokémon work as an EXP. Share in battle. Half of the EXP. Points go to your Pokémon and the other half goes into your EXP. Packet.

When you want to transfer the EXP. Points into a Pokémon, equip the EXP. Packet onto that Pokémon and return to this machine. We charge a fee of $2,000 for every 1,000,000 EXP. Points transfered up to $5,000,000. Once the EXP. Packet is drained, it will be returned to be filled again.&quot;
EXP. Packets are Team TPK|Rocket's newest breakthrough in technology. When equipped to your starting Pokémon, it behaves like an EXP. Share. Half of the EXP. Points go to the starting Pokémon, while the other half is poured into the packet. The EXP. Points that have been put into the packet can be transferred at a price of $2,000 per 1,000,000 EXP. Points. These packets are reusable, so you won't have to keep buying more. +8 B0sh

Team Machinery:
&quot;As you rank up in Team Rocket you can upgrade your EXP. Packets beyond the original capacity of 500,000,000 EXP. Points. Each Packet Upgrade will increase your EXP. Packet's max capacity by an additional 500,000,000 EXP. Points. Each upgrade will get progressively more and more costly. The benefits are that you do not need as many packets to carry around a large amount of EXP. Points.&quot;
As you climb the ranks of Team TPK|Rocket, you will be able to upgrade the capacity of your EXP. Packets. Each upgrade will increase the max capacity of your packet by 500,000,000 EXP. Points. However, the price of each upgrade will also go up. +5 B0sh

Here's some more FAQ rewrites, adding onto dm's corrections. Up top is the original paragraph and the bottom is the revised. Apologies for lack of formatting. On mobile.


It's a fairly simple process, all you need to do is explore a bit on the maps until you encounter a Pokémon. Once one shows up, you'll have the option to catch, battle, release, or run away from it.


     It's a fairly simple process. Simply explore any of the available maps to encounter a Pokémon. Once one shows up, you'll have the option to catch, battle, release, or run away from it.

Catching, battling, and fleeing are fairly self-explanatory; when you release a Pokemon, you literally catch and release it back into the wild. This allows you to gain more map experience points (and held items, if any) without having to worry about carrying around a Pokémon you don't want. +5 B0sh

-------------------------

 There are multiple ways to level up your Pokémon, and they all involve battling. You can level up off of fighting the map Pokémon or Gym leaders, but those methods are rather slow. If you would like very fast EXP. gains, then go to the Battle Trainer page and search for Jim (ID #294). To beat the team of Blissey, you're going to want to either burn or poison them, so make sure you have the right moves to do that! (See below for changing moves)

Q.8. &quot;What is Scyther&quot; to &quot;What is Scyther?&quot; +1 B0sh

---------------

 TPK has 5 special types of Pokémon: Shiny, Soulless, Forest, Cloud, and Spirit. These Pokémon are desired becuase of their extra stat points. Typed Pokémon can be found across all areas of the RPG, from the shops to the minigames to the Secret Dungeon to even achievement prizes! Soulless and Spirit Pokémon are obtained through special ways, however. To learn more about getting Soulless Pokémon, visit the Soulless Machine.

     The Secret Dungeon puts trainers to the test of survivability! In this feature, you are challenged to dive deep into the dungeon, collecting LOL Coins, Pokémon, and Items to help you along the way. At the same time, there are Mysterious Trainers wandering the dungeon, waiting to battle you and attempt to defeat your team. The LOL Coins are a currency used to buy some useful items for the dungeon as well as Pokémon. Vendors are found throughout the dungeon, so make sure you stop by when you see one!

I have no screenshot, but when I received a shiny Plusle for redeeming an achievement (sadly I can't remember which one), it shows a normal-colored Plusle sprite. The Shiny/Normal Plusle sprites look almost identical, I checked out the code and I don't think this is possible. B0sh

Clan Showdowns

Experience in the game, you earn your clan's base showdown score. 

I don't really understand what is meant by &quot;you earn your clan's base showdown score.&quot; Maybe it needs some clarification or better wording? Or maybe it's just me. Maybe &quot;you earn points equal to your clan's base showdown score&quot; or something.



     Each clan's base showdown score is 1 divided by the amount of active members in the clan in order to give each size clan a fair competition. Clans that have less than 5 members will be treated as having 5 members. Clan members who have not contributed to the current showdown will not be contributed to the clan member count.

     At the end of the week, the top 3 clans with the most Showdown Score wins these prizes. The very top clan will recieve a winner handicap of .7x for the next round. If that clan loses, they will lose one handicap until back to normal.


     Each clan's base showdown score is 1 divided by the number of active members in the clan. This is in order to give each clan a fair chance, despite the clan's size. Clans that have less than 5 members will be treated as having 5 members. Clan members who have not contributed to the current showdoen will not be added to the clan member count.

     At the end of the week, the top 3 clans with the highest Showdown Score win the prize(s) listed to the left. The clan in 1st place will also receive a winner handicap of x7 for the next round. [winner's handicap? What does this do? Maybe clarify this.] If that clan loses, they will lose a handicap until back to normal. [again, this is strange wording. What is meant by &quot;back to normal&quot;?] I went through and added a lot here, but thanks for pointing out what was confusing here. +8 B0sh

Edit: nevermind the one Referrals paragraph, seems I didn't notice that Altios covered it.
