Create an Organization
Organizations are very important for building a sense of community, working toward larger goals, and earning a little extra TP. There are two different cost points for organizations. First, you can create an all new Organization for 20 CP. Second, you can recreate and organization that YOU already established on the RolePlayerGuild site for 5CP. You must also decide if the organization is going to be either a "Functional Organization" or a "Special interest Organization", as mentioned in the manual. Follow the guidelines below for submitting an organization:
Picture: (Insert a Picture at the top of your post)
Name: Example Organization
Type:(Functional or Special Interest) (If functional, choose from one of the functional categories listed at the bottom of this post.)
HQ Location: Where was the organization founded?
Branch Locations: What other locations does your organization already have a presence. This can be updated if your organization spreads naturally during writing.)
Mission Statement: (In one to three sentences, describe the organizations purpose. )
History: (In two to five paragraphs, descrive the organization's history. Why was it formed? Who formed it? How has it evolved over time?)
1 TP: (Members can get one bonus TP per post by following the mission statement. In one sentence, what can someone do to be considered "following the mission statement"?)
10 TP: (Encourage your members to perform a specific action with a 10 TP reward. They can only collect on this reward once per month IRL, so make it interesting.
Membership Requirements: (List any requirements that people must obtain before joining this organization.)
Rules and Regulations: (This is where Functional organizations outline exactly how they opporate. Special Interest organizations should also have this section, but it's more for flavor at that point.)
Member List
* Member A
* Member B
* etc... (Obviously your organization will only start with one founding member.)
Mission Board: (Describe how and where members can find missions. Are there physical billboards? Do you just use your Pokedex? The bottom of your Organization post will be reserved for missions that you add in the future.)
(If a mission is approved in the Create a Mission thread, copy and past it to the bottom of your post. Of course, even if a mod approved the mission, you, as the Organization Creator, have ultimate last say as to whether or not you will add the mission to your board. This is assuming that you did not make the mission in question.)

Types of Organizations: Below is a type list that you can choose from if your organization is considered "Functional".
Battle League: The structure of a battle league is completely up to its creator. Are there gyms, badges, and all that classic jazz? How does one become the champion of the league or perhaps even a gym leader within the league? Maybe the league doesn't use the gym method. Maybe it's just based on one or a series of tournaments. This is all up to you. They can also have any number of set standards (i.e. Pokemon tier limitations, move sets to be used in battle, forbidden battle items, etc.)
Pageant Association: Pageant Associations are to Pokemon Contests, what Battle Leagues are to Pokemon Battles. Random Pokemon Contest can be very subjective, due to the crowd and who is judging. Pageant Leagues try to rectify this situation by assigning credible judges and having crowd control. When making a Pageant Association, ask yourself these three questions: "Do I want my Association to focus on any certain type(s), style(s), or tier(s) of Pokemon?", "Who are going to be my judges, AI characters that I and/or others can control specifically to judge contests OR regular user created characters that live lives outside the Association?", and "In what way and to what degree should crowd feedback be considered?"
Research Network: Research Networks are "scientific" communities within the RP. Each network can study in one of two areas, nature or technology. Within these areas are different categories. So far, the categories are as follows: one nature category for each type of Pokemon and the areas they inhabit; one technology category for each different type of item (e.g. Pokeballs, Battle Items, and Key Items). Since there are so many more nature categories, each Research Network can study up to four of them. Research Networks studying Pokemon can unlock hidden potentials for certain Pokemon. Research Networks studying a type of item can create new items and receive those at discounted rates from Poke Marts. Each Research Network is headed by a Professor. This professor can either be a stock character that you create for the sole purpose of this organization, OR you can promote an "Expert" or "Master" trainer to become the professor.
