What would the prizes be though? Something good, though I can't think of anything past Pokemon/monies at the moment.

I don't see a problem with this competition. In of itself, it's not bad. But at the same time, you don't want to encourage graders to just spin grades out. But with new stories popping up every other day, something does need to be done about the backlog. Eh. I'm kind of in favor of it.

And on a totally unrelated note, how come Nemo doesn't get paid for doing wages? (Other than the fact that Emma and Galleon never got paid).

I agree wholeheartedly with Dragoness. Seriously, Scourge should ge paid. I've read through some of the grader wages threads and he/she puts in a LOT of work trying to help n' whatnot :3

also, it would be great if this contest was done for graders, 'cept maybe have a certain rank they should reach (basic, maybe?)

I like that idea, but if we do it, I'll want to set up a point system so that people who put the effort into higher level grades get more "points" than people who pump out speedy Basics. WEAK WON'T GET ANY POINTS, AHAHAHA. But, uh, I'd probably set this up from late November to post-December, if we did it, 'cause it'll encourage people to get stuff done while they don't have as much interference from school. I WILL THINK ON IT. THANK YOU FOR SUGGESTING IT.

Also, no one really gets paid for wages. I don't really spend money, either. ...So 'skinda like "Eh, whatever." IT MEANS A LOT TO ME THAT YOU PEOPLE THINK I SHOULD BE PAID, though. Means I'm doing my job properly. xD

See? I have good ideas that don't involve sex sometimes

As weird as this feels, I'm requesting a grade on my untitled Gastly story - it's one of the oldest non-graded stories, and having an owned Gastly for the Gym Leader tourney would be wonderful.

I have to doubt this for some reason.

I believe the proper pronoun for Scourge is he/she/it/potato. Like Sheik, but with moar ninja.

I prefer potato.

So it's possibly to have more than one Target per story, right? Because I saw that some users tried to catch more than one per story and because I'm creating a story where I attempt to catch 2 Pokémon rather than 1.

Yes, that's allowed.

Okay then. Thank you for the answer.

Am I allowed to post the same story on both BMGf and PE2K?
If so, then I'll find out if the Pokemon gets caught when either forum has a grader who has graded mine.. right?

There isn't a rule saying you can't, though there is a chance it could confuse graders and get graded twice by mistake. And you'd have to keep both updated, if one has been graded.

Right this second I wouldn't worry about it 'cause I'm grading your story

I actually yelled at people for posting on both... There's not enough clarity, and some things have been graded twice. I'd prefer you didn't post on both.
