Time limit...3 months (may be extended if the arrangement of battles is slowing the game down)

Idea: A battle networking setup where participants group into teams which vie for control over the various regions of the pokemon regions.

Each team must have at least 5 people (four admins and a boss) and can recruit further players afterwards. (up to 20)

Control over a region is determined by the number of control points earned in a region added to the number of members a team has in the region.
(if a team has 20 points and one member, they have 21 control, if another team in the same region has 10 points and 10 members, they have 20 control, therefore team one has control over the region.

If a player wins a battle, their team gets the chance to move one member to the region in which the battle took place, and gains one control point for that region.

The loser of a battle must leave the area and move to either a region that his team controls, and that team loses a control point in that region.

Bosses are in charge of troop movement (unless they delegate it to an admin), but each participant is in charge of making challenges against other players in that region.

Troop movements are made on a weekly basis (orders will be sent to me via pm or e-mail, and new locations will be posted in an edited post for that region (to keep it in one place) if no orders are given, participant whom lost a battle will go back to there home region, or, if it is no longer under their control, to the region in which they have the most control.

Participants have three days to respond to a challenge, or they forfeit the match. If a response is made, and each player makes an attempt to schedule a battle, but one cannot be arranged, it will be declared a draw.

Movement rules:
The number of players a team can move into an area is determined by the number of people they currently have there +1.
Any number of players can be moved to a region that their team controls.
a team Boss must stay in his/her home region unless they lose control of said region, at which point they may move to any region they control

Battles:
Lvl 100 all.
No legends (unless part of a boss vs. boss battle, and is agreed upon by both players in advance)
Item clause
(simple enough, eh?)

Team formation:
Must get (at least) four others to be on your team.
Team name cannot be from the pokemon series (i.e. no team rocket or team ash etc.)
Make a team logo that is small enough to fit in a sig. (optional, but prefered)
Choose a home region from the list below: (one that is not already taken)
A brief descriptin of your team and what they stand for. ( a mission statement of sorts.)

Do you three want to go ahead and start, even though we don't have a lot of people, or do you want to wait? Keep in mind that people can join after it starts.

um...I don't think so. We tried teams once, and it...just didn't work out.
