International Pokemon hacking competition
 
International Pokemon hacking competition

Pokemon The Real World
Ok let me first make it clear for you guy
- Why is it "International"?
+ Because this game involves many countries in the world.
- Are we going to compete?
+ Yes and no. While it is competitive between countries during the process, there's no such winner or loser (there’s only a distinction between the one who gives up and the one who works until the end). We're all making this game for our world and you will be the main hands.
- What's up with "the real world"?
+ Good question. So basically when we were kids, as soon as we be familiar with the world of Pokemon, we always dreamed of making the pokemon become true in the real world. However, years have passed and we still don't have the technology to fulfill the childhood dream. Nevertheless, we're able to create anything within the cyberworld. So instead of bringing the pokemon into the real life, why not take the real world to the cyberworld?
Are you with me so far? So the plan is: at first each team representing their country ( any country in this world, from US to UK, France to German, Russia to China, etc.)are going to build 1 city. Finally, we are going to link the cities together to create a complete pokemon game. We'll talk about the process of linking later on.
- Ok here are the very first rules for making the game:
Spoiler:

1/ The game is based on PKM FireRed - GBA only
2/ Country on the game will only be built by its own natives
Spoiler:
(Natives certainly know better than foreigners). Japanese takes care of Japan and Mexican takes care of Mexico, Thai cannot take care of Taiwan, ok!

3/ There are only 20 countries participating in this contest so be quick.
Spoiler:
First comes, first served.

4/ Limit your country to 1 and only 1 city, NOT 1 REGION.
Spoiler:
As I said that at the end we are gonna link all CITIES together. So the game will contain around 25 cites, pretty much enough for a GBA game. Hence, make sure you show what your country is made of in a city and please make it interesting and mysterious (like the "Great Wall" is actually part of Regirock. Just a suggestion for the game, Chinese :P)

5/ Don't put wrong information about your country.
Spoiler:
Unless it's about PKM, it's simply lame if you make up sth that doesn't exist in the real world (Like don't yell that your country is the biggest in the world unless you are Russian, but it’s ok to yell that you have the biggest PKM though)

6/ You are welcome (and encouraged) to use your mother language in this game, BUT make sure you use it along with English translation.
Spoiler:
In addition, your language should be in some form that we (normal people around the world) can pronounce, that is, in alphabetic form. (EX: Japanese wants to say "Good morning" to the player, you should put it in this order. "Ohiyo gozaimasu - Good morning” don’t put like this おはうございます – Good morning). Language is one of the beautiful components of a country.

7/ Every country should have a tour guy
Spoiler:
I mean make sure knows where to go without getting lost.

8/ No new PKM
Spoiler:
Since each city is constructed by different hackers, the fact that having a lot of unofficial PKM will make the game confusing. Nevertheless, you are encouraged to design new appearances of people which fit your culture.

9/ No gym
Spoiler:
you’ll know why once you read the main story

10/ Finish it before releasing
Spoiler:
I know it’s hard to do but can’t a team complete just 1 city thoroughly? Beside, it’s frustrating playing an incomplete game and players probably will quit and move on to another one.

- The main story: Although every team is expected to design its own story, events for its city. It’ll probably get loose once we link them up so I have devised a main story for it. And make sure you follow it (but still be creative, just don’t go off-topic)
Spoiler:

Year 2019, an alien was wandering around the Milky Way Galaxy, searching for a living planet. It advertently saw a green one just in the third of the solar system. It tried to approach it, closer and closer, and then… BOOOOOOOMMMMMM. The next thing it knew, it was recovering in a Poke-center. Fortunately, its ability to disguise as the creature on this planet and to speak the languages there had saved it from those Earthlings' suspicion. After few conversations with people around, the alien found out that the living planet was on its destructing era, the World War 3. So how someone, who is not from Earth, is gonna save the world with one starter, Deoxys?
The rest is up to you guys, remember to be creative but still stick to the topic (I believe at such time, every country was in chaos so we all have stories to tell). Of course in the end our hero will defeat the dictator who starts this war, yet, surprisingly, the story still keeps going.
Click here for more specific details about the plot (WARNING: unless you want to participate in this, I'd not guarantee you to look at it since it contains many surprised stuffs that you probably don't want to know it until you play the game. So be patient. The main story already has enough information for you to decide whether to sign up or not. This one below is just to make sure competitors here won't go off-topic ;) )
Spoiler:
1st scene: The firered introduction will give the player a brief information about your background in the game, which is an alien at year 2019 searching for a living planet and so on...
2nd scene: this is where Prof. Oak usually appears but I'll replace him with a General, who is a scary looking alien giving his announcement to the soldiers (the player here is one of them) that the planet they are living in may stop providing them profits soon due to environment destruction. So they've got to find another living planet to survive.
3rd scene: is where you choose the gender. Both of them look like half Earthling and half Alien coincidentally. You are not going to name the rival here, which is another alien, nor to see his appearance but you will meet him many times in the game.
4rd scene: is where the story begins. Same as the main story that I have posted in my thread. You found the Earth inadvertently then got shot by a laser beam, ended up unconscious in a Poke-center during the World War 3, waked up and decided to prevent the world from destruction with Deoxys as a starter. Then the first country is gonna handle the next task.
ending story: as I have said, you will defeat the dictator in the last country here, who you assumed that is the final boss, but later on you'll find out that the story has not ended yet. The fight will keep going to South Pole, where the main HQ of the enemy is. Then you'll discover that the one who is behind all of this is actually the General from your planet and he is trying to invade the Earth (he is also the final boss in South Pole). Of course you'll battle some aliens and then defeat the boss. Therefore, please make our hero and the rival the only aliens in your country. I wanna save the surprises for the end.
About Deoxys and the rival why am I choosing Deoxys as a starter here. Because it's from outer space and it has the ability to transform into other states. At first it has only normal state and is kinda weak. But as the story goes on, some thugs are gonna kidnap it from the alien, but then the alien rescue it back from the next country, after that Deoxys gradually builds up its ability to transform. However, the alien here doesn't notice this until the last battle with the rival. Speaking or the rival, he is the only alien on Earth beside our main hero. But again our hero doesn't notice it (I think I will make this rival looks like Death from Family Guy lol) until the last battle between them, where most secrets and surprises are gonna be revealed. At first, our hero thinks the rival is just some Earthlings who enjoy messing around with him, but the rival knows his true identity though our hero tries to disguise himself to look like human. After the last battle with the rival, the rival will give our hero the programm which completes Deoxys' ability to transform, which will save our hero quite many times later on.

- Here are people I’ll need:
Spoiler:
+ Competitors.
Spoiler:
Certainly. Sign up and I’ll organize you into a team with same nationality. A team will be completed as soon as there are enough people to handle everything it takes to build a city. First comes, first served. So the first team is going to have its country visited by this alien first, and then the next team and… Up to 20 teams only. Actually, since this is about the World War 2, these countries are essential: US, UK, France, German, Japan, Italy, and Russia. So there are only 13 places left for those who are not from these. In addition, a team can only have a maximum of 5 members so if you are late, don’t worry you still can be a volunteer.

+ A team Alien for
> The beginning story
Spoiler:
the introduction where Prof. Oak usually appears, yeah I'll need someone to help me with the scripting and editing

> South Pole construction
Spoiler:
I accidentally forbade penguin to this competition so… my bad :P

> The ending story
Spoiler:
yeah I need a team (doesn’t matter where you are from) to handle the task after the dictator gets defeated (this will come after the South Pole part). This is also the most astonishing part.

+ Spectators:
Spoiler:
Plz pray for the contest to be successful without anyone getting hurt. :D

- Registration process: Plz provide this information (and be honest). You can sign up for your friends who don’t have an account here. Every PKM hacker is welcome.
Spoiler:
+ Name could be your user name in here or whatever you want me to call. Make sure no one has a same name.
+ Age and years you have been hacking this helps me to choose the leader for your team
+ Nationality
+ E-mail though I’ll usually try to contact you through this forum, having your email is better in case you don’t come to this forum often and for those who don’t have an account here.
+ Tasks you can handle if you know how to write script and insert music and you are SURE that you can take them BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, put scripter AND music inserter. If you are able to do only 1 of them, put scripter OR music inserter.
Note: once you decide to participate, you have to be responsible and must stick with it until the end because you are not the only one here. There are several people who are gonna work this out so don’t let the whole community down. Also, don’t make your country look bad by giving up. Got it? But take it easy anyway; it’s a city only (though it’s big) so it’s not that hard. Beside, you still have your teammates to help you out. No falling behind but no rush either.
Ex:
Spoiler:

John from England, 22 years old and has been a hacker for 5 years. He knows how to write a script, design a map and graphics. However, he can only take care 2 of them at a time. Here is his registration form.
+ Name: John
+ Age: 22, 5 years hacking experience
+ Nationality: English
+ Email: [email protected]
+ Job: Scripter and map designer or graphics

- Rules for my thread
Spoiler:
+ NO SPAM
+ Criticisms and question are allowed here. This is a big project and I want to hear your opinion so feel free to express. However, try not to repeat those that already appeared here. I’m trying to make this thread for discussion only, not a big mess.
- The last but not least: prize
Spoiler:
You guys probably know what the prize is. It’s a chance to show your country to the world so we may know the beautiful of your culture, landscapes, etc. Plus, as I said, having PKM in the real world is sth we’ve always dreamed. Even though we might be old already for such dream, isn’t it grateful hearing a child says “Look! There’s a Pikachu in my town” when he plays your game?

- Current team:
Team America
Spoiler:
1/ THE LEADER: Kyle (aka Fan King)
14, hacking since almost a year
Titlescreen, Bootscreen... The jack of all trades? Able to do a lot of things.. but not music inserting though..

2/ Denali
17, hacking for 2-3 months
Mapper, basic scripter, OW editor

3/ Mike (aka Samike360)
16 years old, 1.5 years hacking
Advance Scripter, beginning mapper

4/ Kakashi Hatake (aka waynes workd)
16 and 1 year and 4 months
Mapper (EVERYTHING)

Team UK
Spoiler:

1/The leader Sam (aka |+~Umbreon~+|)
12 years old, 3 years hacking
advance scripting,Mapping and Music inserting, sprite.

2/
Jay (aka Makeshiftj), 13, hacking for 1 Year
Mapper, basic scripter, OW editor,Spriter

3/David James (aka Hybrid Trainer)
15, about 5 months all together (its been on & off)
Basic spriting

- Leader's rights and responsibility
Spoiler:
1/ First thing first, operate and maintain the team effectively. Make sure that your decisions are fair and square.
2/ Second (yet this's supposed to be the first task to do), leader needs to check the proofs of work from his teamates as soon as possible. Due to the lack of time and the large amount of competitors, I have only tested the works of the leader only so I have no idea the level of others. After doing this, if the leader is not satisfied with one's works, just simply reject him. If a member gets accepted, he will be officially the competitors of the game.
3/ Leader has the right to fire or recruit a hacker without my permission. However, the maximum and minimum numbers of members in a team are 5 and 2 respectively. In additon, leader has to inform me immedietly via message after doing so and don't forget to refer the reasons. If the rejected hackers complain to me that the reasons are not fair and somewhat personal or sth like that and I find out that it's true. The leader gets fired.
4/ A leader can have a co-leader if he wants
5/ It is expected that the leader should report to me the status of the team frequently (how it is going, got a new member, etc). I will only get the reports only from the leader since there are many members. If a one has any problem, let the leader know first and then the leader will inform me in case the team can't solve it. If the problem is about the leader, pm me directly. Hence, excuse me for not answering questions from a normal competitor.
That's all. The very first 5 rules for the leader. Surely it contains some flaws and not completed yet so I will update later. If you spot some errors or have some suggestion, feel free to pm me (through your leader ;))

this is a great idea!
im sorry but ill have to take a pass on this one, ive only been hacking for 2months now and im well underway in making a hack. it was a solo but i have formed a small team of about 4-5 people.
check (the thread) in my description for more info.

This is a very cool and unique idea.... Different than all the rest of 'em!

Thanks! I'm glad you guys are interested in this. I hope there will be enough contestants for the game, otherwise, it'll be but another dream :P. So if you can, please do some advertising in other PKM forum from your country. Don't be shy, remember there are no winners or losers here. :)

psychicboy November 10th, 2009 5:10 AM

This is interesting... I think ill join.

Could you maybe make a banner for the hack? So we can advertise easier, that is....:rambo:

Glitch. November 10th, 2009 3:38 PM

I took the liberty to Make you a banner since this is a great idea.

It's interesting, but WWII = not fun to mess with.

Make it 2941 with WWIII and it'll be kaaay.

Aliens November 11th, 2009 1:02 AM

@ Ninja: this is a great idea. Thanks a lot. Following the WWIII will boost up the creativeness of the hackers instead of depending too much on details about WWII (and you are right, WWII is old and not fun to mess with :-j). Anyway, since I have set a rule that is "don't put wrong information", the years should be close to present, 2019 is perfect :)
@ mrhaxmaster: thanks, the banner is really something, simple but clear, I really appreaciate it. Yet I'm trying to figure out the image of the player (u know half Earthling and half Alien) to put it on the left of the banner then it'll be perfect. But until then, yours is good enough.

Denali November 11th, 2009 2:52 PM

Team America is ready and waiting, Commander Aliens! lol
Anyways.... Would you like Team America's city to be named: USA, United States, or America?

But, uhm, you're making up a story. What wrong information?

Aliens November 11th, 2009 11:52 PM

@Denali: ok team America, are you ready? Hear my words and... keep waiting lol :P
Anyway Denali, I like the way you are working with such high-speed even though you still have your game to do. However, I need to make sure there are at least 10 countries participating in this competition, otherwise it'd turn out to be "PKM The Real America" instead of "PKM The Real World". By the way Denali, how did you team up so fast? Are you the only one on your team or you have already recruited some henchmen from other web sites ;)). If you have done so, plz declare their infomation here just like the registration form. They don't need to present here though.
Referring to the name, typically it'll appear on the map as it always does in the real world: USA. But feel free to use the other names in the story, or you don't have to use any of them. EX: just show the player a NAXA building and we'll know immediately that it's America (btw, NAXA is in America, rite? lol *kidding*)

@Ninja: If you check the rules on my first post, you'll see the statement "Don't put wrong infomation about your country". Hence, if I make the year become 2941, who knows:-", some people might claim that by such year they'd have hundreds of Pyramids with tons of gorgeous mummies even though they are not Egyptian. So I should make it somewhere close to present. Got it? :D

Denali November 12th, 2009 1:15 PM

Currently I am the only Team America member. I haven't advertised yet so I'll start. I'm just so excited to start! lol

SharpPoint November 12th, 2009 1:32 PM

Only problem is most people will use the same tiles. o_O

Denali November 12th, 2009 5:53 PM

Aliens, what team are you on?

Aliens November 12th, 2009 7:36 PM

What team am I on? What do you think, Denali? I'm an alien so I belong to no team ^lol^. Beside, I've got to organize a huge number of hackers going to participate. Let's see, around 50 of them according to my estimate, so it's not like I have time to take part in a team at all (even though I do, no one in the team will recognize I'm an alien, maybe I'll join the America team, lol).
Anyway Denali, I appreciate your enthusiasm but don't forget the rule, that is, be responsible. Hence, I suggest you to gather enough hackers for your team before getting started.
Say, Denali, do you know more than one language? It'll be a big help if you are able to advertise in forums from other countries beside America.
@ SharpPoint: I don't get your point at all since you are SharpPoint :P. What do ya mean, pal? ;))

BlitŻ November 12th, 2009 8:22 PM

I could use all the help I can get, Fan King. I'm fairly new at hacking and I'm still learning the ropes. Just think of it, man, we can make our own tiles, sprites, everything! We could make the White House, the American Flag, Mount Rushmore, and a bunch of other cool things!:P

With our brains as one, we would create the awesomest, coolest, city: The United States of America, created by Team America!:rambo:

I speak a little Spanish, but that's it, sorry.:'(
(Yes; join Team America!) lol, just kidding, that would sorta maybe kinda be cheating!:badsmile:(Creepy smilie dude)

I also have a question. Can we also make scripts or buildings resembling the past. Like make scripts refering to past wars like Hitler in WWII? Or would that count as being offensive to countries? Just wondering.

Aliens November 13th, 2009 10:11 AM

@ Denali: You can check back the updated story to see that I have made it year 2019, about the WWIII, so no more Hitler hanging around:). Actually as I said, the first country to register here will be the first one to be visited by the alien and the last country is where our hero defeat the mad dictator (I think that country wouldn't mind because of the main reason at the end of the story). The rest is still the same.
@ FanKing: if you are really into it, you can be the one providing ideas in the team or you can learn how to hack in the tutorial threads though. Then you can participate. :D

welcome to the contest. As you can see that we still need more competitors here so it'll be a big help if you can advertise this thread in forums from Singapore and other countries if you can. Use the banner above provided by mrhaxmaster.
Btw, I still need information about your age and years of hacking experience so that I can choose the leader for the Singapore team. Don't be shy, we still welcome you even you are 70 or so. lol *just kidding* :))

oh xD,I now how to hack.. Actually quite well. I am an advanced scripter, along with an advanced tile inserter,a good mapper + titlescreen inserter, bootscreen editor...etc.

I know how to do alot of things. Just check out my hack in my sig.

Ooh!! I now what I can do! Let me just go check out the release form and get back to you..

+ Name: I'm registered as Fan ing, but call me Kyle
+ Age and years you have been hacking: 14, and I've been hacking since almost a year now, i thin i started in last december :P
+ Nationality: USA
+ E-mail: [email protected]
+ Tasks you can handle: Titlescreen, Bootscreen... can you just put me as jack of all trades? I can do alot of things.. but not music inserting though.. If you need proofs of works, just Pm me on what job..

Aliens November 14th, 2009 8:22 AM

Ok so far we have 2 members for team America and 1 for team Singapore. Good job team America, I suppose you need just 1 or 2 more hackers to fill the rest then team America will be formed completely and be the first country to be visited by the alien. :D
@ Kyle as well as everyone: I'm not gonna test you or anyone who registers for this contest yet. Firstly, this is a competition, not like other recruitment. Secondly, as I have said in my rules that you have to be responsible for this. So that's why I don't require proof of work yet. However, just to make sure the game will be successful, the team leader will take this task and test his teammates by whatever methods he wants. Of course when choosing the leader I'll test his skill as a hacker as well as a leader so don't worry, your boss won't be an insane monster :D
@xmouvelianx: you still haven't provided me your name. Do you want me to use the user name "xmouvelianx"? It's kind of confusing you know so I suggest you to change it into sth easier:P. Btw would you mind editing your first post to put all of your information there so that way I can easily organize it? Thank you :)

Of course when choosing the leader I'll test his skill as a hacker as well as a leader so don't worry, your boss won't be an insane monster :D

Ohh, coolio, a little test? What kind of test? What are we being tested on? xD

Aliens November 14th, 2009 8:49 AM

oh not yet Kyle, I told you that you guys will be tested by your leader, who is gonna be chosen by me through some tests. Test for leader? I'll do it as soon as a team is completed so don't worry. But I'll reveal a little bit to you, first I'll choose a leader of each team according to his age and experience, then I'll test him to see if he is suitable for the job, if not, I'll pick the next appropriate candidate of the team. I'm not gonna tell you how the test is so there's no way you can get prepared for it, which will make it unnatural. ;)
Yeah this thing is getting exciting, just wait until we get enough hackers (about 50 I guess) for the game and you'll see how fun it can be :D

50 hackers? That seems kinda ambitious. More like unrealistic. I'm not sure if there are even 50 hackers available, not to mention active. Maybe lower it to ten or something. Maybe about 2 or 3 able hackers per team, that makes a reasonable hack.

@Kyle: 2 or 3 hackers per team, times 10 to 15 countries, make it almost 50 members totally, not to mention volunteers. Probably it's not likely to reach up to 50 but I was just predicting the toughest situation that it might turn out to be.
@Denali: it depends... on your leader :P
@Rafi: don't reveal your secret weapon yet, we demand for surprise here. ;)
It seems like team America only needs a music inserter to be completed. C'mon other team or you are gonna lose the ticket to be visited first by the alien. ;))

I can't decide yet Jay. As a matter of fact, your team needs more members to construct a city so you have to wait until team England is completed. Nevertheless, having 1 year of hacking experience might make you a good candidate, but I can't say anything right now.

Aliens November 18th, 2009 10:31 PM

Hey guys after reading your stories I decided to update the central plot so it won't get loose. You can either check back my first post or click here for more specific details about the plot (WARNING: unless you want to participate in this, I'd not guarantee you to look at it since it contains many surprised stuffs that you probably don't want to know it until you play the game. So be patient. The main story already has enough information for you to decide whether to sign up or not. This one below is just to make sure competitors here won't go off-topic ;) )
Spoiler:
1st scene: The firered introduction will give the player a brief information about your background in the game, which is an alien at year 2019 searching for a living planet and so on...
2nd scene: this is where Prof. Oak usually appears but I'll replace him with a General, who is a scary looking alien giving his announcement to the soldiers (the player here is one of them) that the planet they are living in may stop providing them profits soon due to environment destruction. So they've got to find another living planet to survive.
3rd scene: is where you choose the gender. Both of them look like half Earthling and half Alien coincidentally. You are not going to name the rival here, which is another alien, nor to see his appearance but you will meet him many times in the game.
4rd scene: is where the story begins. Same as the main story that I have posted in my thread. You found the Earth inadvertently then got shot by a laser beam, ended up unconscious in a Poke-center during the World War 3, waked up and decided to prevent the world from destruction with Deoxys as a starter. Then the first country is gonna handle the next task.
ending story: as I have said, you will defeat the dictator in the last country here, who you assume that is the final boss, but later on you find out that the story has not ended yet. The fight will keep going to South Pole, where the main HQ of the enemy is. Then you'll discover that the one who is behind all of this is actually the General from your planet and he is trying to invade the Earth. Of course you'll battle some aliens and then defeat the boss. Therefore, please make our hero and the rival the only aliens in your country. I wanna save the surprises for the end.
About Deoxys and the rival why am I choosing Deoxys as a starter here. Because it's from outer space and it has the ability to transform into other states. At first it has only normal state and is kinda weak. But as the story goes on, some thugs are gonna kidnap it from the alien, but then the alien rescue it back from the next country, after that Deoxys gradually builds up its ability to transform. However, the alien here doesn't notice this until the last battle with the rival. Speaking or the rival, he is the only alien on Earth beside our main hero. But again our hero doesn't notice it (I think I will make this rival looks like Death from Family Guy lol) until the last battle between them, where most secrets and surprises are gonna be revealed. At first, our hero thinks the rival is just some Earthlings who enjoy messing around with him, but the rival knows his true identity though our hero tries to disguise himself to look like human. After the last battle with the rival, the rival will give our hero the program which completes Deoxys' ability to transform, which will save our hero quite many times later on.

Hi guys I just finished editing the sprites of our hero. Wanna take a look and give me your opinion? I'll try to get the heroine's done by the end of this week.


Here is the true image of the alien for the introduction (where prof. Oak usually is. However, he is not gonna say "Good morning everyone", instead, "Attention soldiers" lol).

CREDIT
- The original hero's sprites are from PKM Diamond, thanks to Nintendo.
- The third one is from the website www.panelmonkey.org. They have a lot of cool stuffs. You can get this one from right here http://www.panelmonkey.org/sprite.php?id=507&theme=3

Aliens November 28th, 2009 5:20 AM

Ok so far there's team that has enough members and I have chosen a team leader without any objection so I'm announcing the very first group of of the competition.
Team America
1/ THE LEADER: Kyle (aka Fan King)
14, hacking since almost a year
Titlescreen, Bootscreen... The jack of all trades? Able to do a lot of things.. but not music inserting though..

2/ Denali
17, hacking for 2-3 months
Mapper, basic scripter, OW editor

3/ Mike (aka Samike360)
16 years old, 1.5 years hacking
Advance Scripter, beginning mapper

4/ Kakashi Hatake (aka waynes workd)
16 and 1 year and 4 months
Mapper (EVERYTHING)

Ok team America, you guys are encouraged to create a thread for your team where you can post and update discussions about the plan as well as recruit more competitors. Or you can debate about it via private message or so, but I recommend the team leader to make a thread, put up your banner so that way everyone can witness your works (but don't reveal much since it'll obviously kill the surprises ;))
By the way, since we have the first team completed and the fresh new leader, I'm gonna elaborate the leader's job right here. Please read it.
Leader's rights and responsibilities:
Spoiler:
1/ First thing first, operate and maintain the team effectively. Make sure that your decisions are fair and square.
2/ Second (yet this's supposed to be the first task to do), leader needs to check the proofs of work from his teamates as soon as possible. Due to the lack of time and the large amount of competitors, I have only tested the works of the leader only so I have no idea the level of others. After doing this, if the leader is not satisfied with one's works, just simply reject him. If a member gets accepted, he will be officially the competitors of the game.
3/ Leader has the right to fire or recruit a hacker without my permission. However, the maximum and minimum numbers of members in a team are 5 and 2 respectively. In additon, leader has to inform me immedietly via message after doing so and don't forget to refer the reasons. If the rejected hackers complain to me that the reasons are not fair and somewhat personal or sth like that and I find out that it's true. The leader gets fired.
4/ A leader can have a co-leader if he wants
5/ It is expected that the leader should report to me the status of the team frequently (how it is going, got a new member, etc). I will only get the reports only from the leader since there are many members. If a one has any problem, let the leader know first and then the leader will inform me in case the team can't solve it. If the problem is about the leader, pm me directly. Hence, excuse me for not answering questions from a normal competitor.
That's all. The very first 5 rules for the leader. Surely it contains some flaws and not completed yet so I will update later. If you spot some errors or have some suggestion, feel free to pm me (through your leader ;))

Currently we still need more and more hackers from other countries so we won't start this contest until Xmas, that way people will get their tests done and have more free time com participate. I'll complete a better banner in 1 or 2 days so plz do some advertising for us. Thank you. :)

●•ΛΣЯӨЩ•● November 30th, 2009 11:18 PM

I'm fine with team Alien!!
XD
Btw,there are a VERY few hackers form my place India so i guess its better i'm with another country's team....

also about team America,
Kyle and Mike are both Advanced Scripters...
What's the point in having 2 of them?

~Gary~ November 30th, 2009 11:22 PM

intresting... i will join ya

from india

i can help in spriting and beta testing

●•ΛΣЯӨЩ•● November 30th, 2009 11:38 PM

Dude,there are some indians.... but not seriously skilled....

Aliens December 6th, 2009 5:42 AM

Sorry guys the past week I had a very important test so I didn't have much time for this thread.:P
@ aero: I'm trying to gather as many countries as possible here so this game can have a great diversity. I don't discriminate against beginner hackers so it's ok to have them in a team, of course a team ought to have at least one pro but that's just a matter of time :-j. Therefore, are you in as an Indian competitor? You are welcome to join team Alien but I'd recommend you to represent your own country. C'mon who would want his country to be out?
I'm done with the heroine sprites (well not really me, my friend BK did it with my little idea though :D). See if you are fine with them.

Aliens December 6th, 2009 6:48 PM

We are not working on any country here. In fact, we are building the lands for Aliens on Earth, that is, as you can see from the main story, the beginning and ending story. Particularly, other teams are gonna design their own countries while we will work on the rest of the game (for instances, the heroine sprites above).Got it?

Sorry but team America is full already. You can still apply, just contact the leader (Kyle) and show him your Proof of work and he might consider you, but I don't recommend so. Nevertheless, do you mind going with other teams beside America and UK. As far as I know, team Singapore and Australia really need more hackers.
