F4: Ashes to Modes

Welcome to another instalment of F4. Apologies on the gap between updates, it's been hard to get another update out. However, here it is.

One of the main focuses of this update is the upcoming fanfic, Frontier Isle: Ashes. I have a few more updates before I release the Prologue and such. If you read my stories, you know that every story of mine gets a soundtrack; Ashes is no exception. I won't reveal the entire soundtrack here, I'll save that for a later date. However, I'll reveal two songs on the soundtrack: Dream Theater - "Panic Attack" and Scars on Broadway - "They Say". Check them out, they're awesome songs. And think about how the story might be. Secondly, I've got an update on a few characters. Firstly, there'll be a heap of cameo appearances from members signed up to the RPG. The only Trainer that is definitely a main character is Ben's Trainer. The Prologue SHOULD arrive within the week if I quit procrastinating.

Secondly, I have an update on the Party Mode for Story Mode. The kinks have been worked out. It all works almost exactly like standard Story Mode, except for the fact that you can shorten the number of people in the adventure. So you could just have three people going through their own separate storyline. It also has a bigger sense of freedom; you're free to wander a bit more. Instead of following strict directions, you can alter your course slightly to explore more and such. It does stick with the Tokens feature. However, extra Tokens can be bought for BP in towns and cities. Party Mode is scheduled for a 13th September release.

That's it for F4 today. Stay tuned!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

September: Big Posting, Big Rewards

September is widely regarded as a bad month for most forums. Here on MM, we look to have a decent September; we certainly need to do better than March. Which means, we need at least 1,000 posts this month.

As such, I'm going to be pulling out some serious incentives to post, as well as to keep an eye on MM. See, if any of you guys fulfil the requirements and go to claim the awards Hyper Poster or Milestoned, you'll be rewarded with a Promo that costs less than 800,000 Poké Coupons, free of charge. And if September reaches 2,000 posts, I'll reward even further with a Legendary Promo AND a Uber Interest Increaser.

Also, on the 22nd September, I'll be announcing details on something called Project End. Some of you may have seen it in my signature, as well as my name tag on MSN. Also, on the 22nd, three lucky people will be given VIP Access to Project End to see what it all is.

Good luck posting guys and I'll most likely see you all in 17 days.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

The Mudpit Prediction League: 2010/2011

Hello and welcome to the The Mudpit Prediction League 2010/2011. In this great season of Premier League football, anyone joining will predict the scores of the games each week.

How you play this is simple; before each set of fixtures, either myself or Stardy will post all the fixtures for you all to predict. Then you put down the scores on each games; this is your prediction. So for example, Chelsea vs West Ham. I put down 3 - 0 to Chelsea, that's my prediction. Now for the scoring. If you get a prediction dead on, you get 3 points for that game. So if my 3 - 0 prediction on Chelsea was correct then I get 3 points for that Chelsea game. If Chelsea won by a score other than 3 - 0, I would gain a point because I predicted a Chelsea win but I didn't get the score right. If it was a draw or a West Ham win, I'd get no points.

So that's it. Here's a table and a list of our entrants. Good luck.

Marshtomp Confirmed as a Battle Royale Character

Vinny told me earlier on MSN and he said that I could tell you all about this. See, me and Vinny were chatting and he gave me some very interesting news; Marshtomp is a hidden character in Battle Royale. I must say, I marked the hell out when I found out. He also said what sort of moves I could expect from Marshtomp, while keeping some surprises hidden for us. Such a sneaky devil he is.

Either way, Marshtomp's Special Moves include Hydro Pump, Earthquake and Ice Punch. And his Final Smash is absolutely stunning; it's called Mudpit. Marshtomp calls up a pit of mud to trap the opponent and then he deals a devastating punch to the enemy.

From what I've been told of Marshtomp, I'm really looking forward to maining him when Vinny finishes this game.

Bio:

Ross Hitchman was born in Lilycove City, Hoenn. He was raised in a middle class home with his mother and older sister. His family looked after several Pokémon; mainly Bidoof and Starly, giving Ross an affinity towards these Pokémon. At the age of 9, Ross was given his first Pokémon by his sister. His sister's Marshtomp had given birth to two Mudkip and she had given one of them to Ross. He raised it and when he was eleven, he set out on his journey with his best friend, Adrian Waters. The two travelled Hoenn, to train themselves to become the best. After opting out of the Hoenn League Championships for more training, Ross headed to Sinnoh alone. After travelling Sinnoh, Kanto and Johto, Ross returned to Hoenn at the age of 15 to win the Hoenn Championships. Over the next year, he undertook more training and won the Kanto Championships. On the eve of the Johto Championships, he pulled out after news of the death of his mother. Overcome with grief, Ross disappeared from the public eye. Many believe that he's gone into private training somewhere, others think he's gone into retirement.

They are all wrong. Ross has allied himself with the Global Security Service and now fights a great evil threatening to destroy the world. Little does he know that his fight will lead to more sadness...
