Whoa its me the german wishing everyone a happy new years :O



Stow — 1/4/2022 10:50 PM
Howdy everyone! With several players interested in doing projects for their characters that require Lore Team assistance, we've decided to open up our own ticket! This is primarily so we can all go back and forth with any type of research projects your character may have, or any other long term project that requires our help. This is not a replacement for general lore questions, which we will continue to answer in ⁠❓┃lore-questions. If you have any questions, feel free to DM one of us!



Vernon — 1/8/2022 8:17 PM
When the server comes up please stay off it while Tech Team resolves some issues.



Stow — 1/8/2022 8:32 PM
Hello! We're doing one more rollback - please DM me if you found a fossil and what kind if you lose it. Lore Item as well. If you lie about this you will face consequences.



Vernon — 1/8/2022 8:33 PM
More like a roll-up- I wasn't paying attention to which extract I was in
Server is UP go ahead



rosy — 1/17/2022 9:57 AM
🖌️ Hello! It's been a long time coming BUT - If you have any last-minute Texture Pack stuff / want to check in on a requested texture, let me know!



rosy — 1/19/2022 11:14 AM
Server will be going down @ 3 years ago // 12:30:00 AM so we can work on updates!

If you have any last minute requests, peeps, ask your local texture team peeps! ♥ - I'm not personally doing any textures, to better focus on update, but if you have your own textures, that is helpful.



rosy — 1/19/2022 11:23 AM
In addition! Please keep ALL talks of Pokemon Legends: Arceus in their appropriate locations:
- ⁠pokemon-spoilerinos
- ⁠unknown
If I see ANY leaks, spoilers, or such outside of their appropriate chats, I will be very disappointed! Additionally, you will be muted from chat.

If you're not sure if you're being careful enough, best to just avoid it, or take it elsewhere. - These naturally apply to the Voice Channels as well! Please be respectful, thank you!



Stow — 1/19/2022 11:24 AM
To clarify, ⁠pokemon-spoilerinos is only for officially released media by The Pokemon Company, where ⁠unknown is for actual leaks of the game.



rosy — 1/20/2022 12:41 AM
Server will be down for updating!
Please do NOT enter the server until I say it's okay, even if it's up ♥ tyvm!

it's so late at night so no ping, but :MerengueChefKiss:

Queen Heart — 1/20/2022 10:36 AM
Hey all! We've got some issues with spawning and whatnot that will take time for us to fix(due to IRL obligations) but if you see wormholes or random npc trainers or even legendaries, PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT!!! If you see weird things, let us know in ⁠❔┃help-desk. Thanks again for your patience!



rosy — 1/24/2022 3:10 AM
= Server will be down 40mins to an hour! =
Sorry for the inconvenience, ya night owls!

All done! You are free to log in! Please continue to report any issues, or if you see any random NPCs - or missing NPCs! Thank you!



Vernon — 1/24/2022 3:04 PM
With Legends: Arceus releasing in just a few days, we've decided to create a chat special just for Legends discussions! Aside from the Spoilers chat.

There are three new parts to the server. There's the two text channels ⁠🍊🍇┃pokemon-scarlet-and-violet and ⁠🍊scarlet-violet-vc-text🍇 as well as a voice chat channel nestled into the list of voice channels to go with them. To access these, you need to run the command /joinspoilers in ⁠bot-command-center

These channels are for streaming, posting live updates, and so on. If we catch you doing this outside these channels, we're gonna get a little steamy :dt_smug:

And of course, if you start worrying you're falling behind and going to get spoiled, you can always do /leavespoilers in the ⁠bot-command-center to leave the group and revoke your access to these channels.

Thank y'all, have fun!



Vernon — 1/28/2022 12:56 PM
A couple things to cover just really fast:

One: It's the ever familiar drill: Do not refer to any lore in Legends: Arceus for a period of time until Lore Team has had time to work with it. We will make an announcement when this lifts and release a statement about lore changes. You are not allowed to make references IC or OOC on server or in RP as both are infractions to this ban and we'll probably end up retconning your RP.

Two: Stay off bulbapedia if you're avoiding spoilers, there's a lot of spoilers on there as it's ALL entirely updated.



Misha — 2/2/2022 9:20 PM
If you'd like to contribute and give feedback to improve Toro here's a survey to fill out! If you submitted it before it's still helpful to do it again as things have changed and up to date feedback is useful. You also can fill it out anonymously too if you're shy.

People who fill it out will get 10kp as thanks (even if you filled out in the past) 💙

https://forms.gle/khfUrBicjR5KZU3J6



rosy — 2/4/2022 8:09 PM
Thank you to everybody who has participated in the survey! You can still fill it out if you'd like, and even if there is no survey- we are always open to suggestions! We are constantly trying to improve, and value your feedback! ♥

Perhaps the most noticeable right now though will be us working on the discord. Such changes so far are:

1. ⁠☕┃introductions has been moved to the General category and has been limited to Whitelisted folk as a preventative measure to stop possibly bots / trolls getting to the playerbase.

2. ⁠❓┃lore-questions has been moved to the Support category

3. The GM role is being renamed to Owner! The reason for this is because [GM] Game Moderator sort of opens us up to people PMing us for request. - So ideally, having the Owner title will persuade more people to seek out help in the appropriate channels!

That and we do OWN the server! :3c~1:

4. We will be improving the Toro Roleplay channel! yay!
We'll also be looking at a little makeover of the server, but anything major will be edited onto the post above. Thank you all though!



Skol — 2/14/2022 2:18 AM
Happy Valentine's day everyone!

I hope each and every one of you has a lovely day today; whether it be with your partner, friends, family... anyone who puts a smile on your face! Remember, you are LOVED, and your existence in this world is valued by many!



kc — 2/18/2022 12:15 AM
Hello everyone! Just letting you know on the 28th of this month we'll be lifting the spoiler ban on Pokemon Legends: Arceus ! The only thing that will be asked to remain in the specific spoiler channels is anything relating to the story, everything else is free game past the 28th! Note: This does not mean that you can reference these things in RP yet, a later announcement on that will be coming!



Stow — 2/27/2022 11:08 AM
Howdy everyone! Generation 9 of Pokemon was just announced, and so we want to put out a quick PSA to let everyone know that from this point forward all discussion related to the game should be done within ⁠pokemon-spoilerinos! Happy discussion!



Vernon — 3/6/2022 12:44 PM
Hey everyone! In regards to the upcoming Music Festival: Record Etching through Dropbox is broken! However there's a way to circumvent this! A staff member with NBT Edit access can get it working, so long as you provide them a dropbox link! If you need help, please open a Staff Ticket BEFORE the date of the Music Festival. Every other part of the mod is working fine, including playback and downloading, it's truly just Etching that is broken right now.



Vernon — 3/6/2022 12:51 PM
Also do not use YTMP3 for the downloads. It doesn't work.

Hey guys, here's a post on our new Toroan Form: Toroan Yanma and Toroan Yanmega! Happy hunting! https://www.toro-league.com/forum/viewt ... 791#p15791
Toroan Yanma / Yanmega - Toro League



Stow — 3/12/2022 9:49 PM
Also a disclaimer: Yanmega cannot learn Fire Fang with TM at the moment, and Yanmega can't learn its TRs or Fire Fang via TM. This will be fixed in the next config update. If you wish to have these moves, contact a staff member to exchange the TM/TR



Misha — 3/14/2022 12:41 PM
As a heads up, on the 16th we'll be moving the domain (toro-league.com / the IP you use to connect to the server) to another host; I'll give an update when it goes down and when it goes up. There might be a short amount of time where the website isn't available because it's still transferring. I will give an update when it goes down and goes back up. The server itself will still be available during this time- if needed an alternate IP will be shared so you can still connect! :mattgoodboi:



rosy — 3/15/2022 6:07 PM
:blurplesphealwave: Hello if you're a Cobalt Resident and would like to be in a lil channel for other Cobalt Residents, lemme know and I'll add you! (( or react to this message))

I realize we have like three, four Cobalt librarians now, and you all need to meet each other ! !



Misha — 3/16/2022 12:34 PM
I am going to start the domain moving process soon so the normal server IP might not work! If you cannot connect please try to use this address instead:
Update: The domain will not be transferring at this time, you can keep using the same IP :mattgoodboi:



Ben — 3/19/2022 9:54 PM
Event delayed until tomorrow: March 20, 2022 12:00 PM. If the server isn't up, we'll do it on Discord. React to this message with a ✋ if you were at the event so I can add you to the thread if we do it on Discord.



Vernon — 3/19/2022 10:09 PM
The server will be down tonight while we continue to troubleshoot the issue resulting in the above. We are terribly apologetic about all of this, but we're going to resolve this, please rest assured. Tech Team will be giving this 100%.



Vernon — 3/20/2022 1:53 PM
The server is up and running again. God bless Heart finding the ACTUAL backups, Rosy and I were looking in the wrong spots :sigh:.

We rolled back a day, so you may be missing some stuff, but hopefully it's nothing important. Thank you for your patience, everyone, and we're so so so so so sorry this did happen, especially during an event.



Misha — 3/21/2022 12:24 PM
Howdy- today I'm dedicated to cleaning up the new player section and revamping existing resources to be more clear and streamlined + to help reduce confusion in the future! If anyone has any feedback on things that might be good for the site please DM me or open a ticket (tech team) so it doesn't get lost. Thanks y'all, hope to make things better for everyone :snomlove:



Ben — 3/24/2022 1:37 PM
Reminder! The Baby Suicune can be visited at the Pokemon Rescue & Rehabilitation Center (PRRC) by anybody! If you want to set something up, please make an Event Team Ticket in ⁠💌┃open-a-ticket and ping me with your availability / desired time!



Stow — 3/26/2022 4:57 PM
The Battle Tower has been updated to Double Battles! Two or three of the upper tier teams are still WIP (though are adjusted to Doubles format atm while we wait for new ones) as a heads up, but the entire tower is updated to the new format. If you have any feedback, feel free to shoot me a DM!



kc — 4/1/2022 1:53 AM
Hey guys just letting you know that I'm officially making my retirement official, Rosy is in charge. Be nice to her. :A_PeaceOut:



Skol — 4/1/2022 10:38 AM
Happy April fools, everyone! Your name and donor roles shall be returned to you tomorrow! Enjoy the fun & chaos!



Skol — 4/2/2022 6:49 AM
Hello @Donators! I appologize for the early morning ping. You should have your role colors back by now.

If you do not, please DM me and I'll sort you out!



Stow — 4/8/2022 10:26 PM
Hello everyone! I'm here to announce that @kc is stepping down from his Elite Four position - and I'm taking over! For future matches in his spot, please contact me to schedule!



Vernon — 4/8/2022 10:29 PM
In addition to Stow taking over the Elite Four, the Gym League Circuit is getting an update and revision of rules! This clearly defines the Gym Leader appointments, rules of conducts, as well as some changes to how battles are to be conducted. These have been screened and debated heavily, and we'd like to ask you to give them a try before making up your mind on them, or coming to us with complaints. We reserve the right to make adjustments going forward, but for now this is what we're trying.

These rules also apply to E4 Members.



rosy — 4/9/2022 5:47 AM
‼️‼️ I've had to reroll back the map half a day maybe? I'm not sure exactly!

People's Pokemon / Inventories / Money should all be the same as they logged off though! - BUT If you've lost anything because of this, please let us know, and we will be happy to help you.

Please make a staff misc. ticket in - ⁠💌┃open-a-ticket if you need anything.

I apologize for the roll back once more though, and I will personally help redecorate anything needed!



Vernon — 4/9/2022 5:25 PM
Toro League Changelog 04.09.2022

- Updated the list of Pokemon known to be Telepathic

We've added Pokemon to the list of telepaths! A fair few new faces can now communicate telepathically with their trainer, as per our existing telepathy rules! You can view the rules, and the updated list here: https://www.toro-league.com/forum/viewt ... 118&t=4853

- Updated the list of Pokemon in the Teleport Document

We've heard some people ask that we add the Pokemon that learn Teleport in the mainline games to our post on Teleport, and we have! We've also added an indicator on what Pokemon Toro has added as "Teleport Pokemon" by putting them in bold so it's easier for you! You can view that here: https://www.toro-league.com/forum/viewt ... 118&t=4516

- Removed Herobrine

Heads up all, the server might take a bit to bring back due to the host having limited support because of Easter. We'll let you know when it's up again!



Queen Heart — 4/16/2022 9:51 PM
Server is back up! Sorry for the delay.



Stow — 4/25/2022 12:39 AM
Hello everyone! We've added a new plugin to the server that is going live with our daily reset. When you die, you will revive with whatever hunger you had, with a minimum of 2 bars of hunger. This is to discourage people from killing themselves on server to reset their hunger bar. If you need food, check out where to get some on the New Player Guide! https://www.toro-league.com/forum/viewt ... #resources

Also, Toroan Ledyba and Ledian got their Pokedex entries! Go check those out :3c

Stow — 4/28/2022 7:41 PM
Another announcement! We've recently been discussing the possibility of the Battle Tower buying Texture Change items back for 50BP a pop (with them still being sold to players at 300BP). We wanted to open up a poll to see community thought! Please answer here: https://forms.gle/763hmJqMBddxdHsGA



rosy — 4/30/2022 7:49 PM
ANNOUNCEMENT TIME

:z_DotBlue:After the votes above, we'll be doing this change soon! Thank you for the response!

:z_DotYellow:We have changed the values to the - Hunger Persistence plugin! The minimum hunger you'll get will now be: Four Bars of Hunger & Full Saturation
- We originally changed this to both discourage spamming the chat with deaths ( which create more spam with ooc jokes ) & to make Player run restaurants & events based around food worth it.

- With these values you should be able to run for a long while !

- In addition, thanks to a suggestion from Bongo, we will be implementing a daily(once per day) food kit.
/kit Food - to claim it.
So if you're in the middle of a rp, this'll help keep you fed for the duration of it! If you additionally need food, asking people is the best way.

If you have any feedback, please let us know! We literally cannot know what people may want, or have problems with, if it is never said. We just want the best for people, so! Make a ticket and be kind ~

:z_DotBlue: Additionally we plan to do a texture pack update soon, to finally compile all the changes! Then we'll be working on updating our server. ♥

If you'd like to help update some of our old textures to NEW PIXELMON models, let us know! Any help is appreciated, and you will be compensated for your help :3

(( plugin changes will happen on restart ))




Vernon — 4/30/2022 11:51 PM
HEY WHAT'S UP LOSERS! Let's give it up for @Bongo for helping a lot of us out with our PC problems, and helping a LOT of people with improving FPS on Toro! The dude's been nice enough to add the steps to the guide I wrote a while back on how to configure Toro to get MASSIVE FPS boosts. I've gone from about 40 to 150+ FPS in Aurelia! Some places will still dip, and if you need help I'd reach out to him, but let's not overwhelm him!

Here's the guide again for everyone to use, but it's also pinned in ⁠❔┃help-desk!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uxA ... G8qIOHxGAI



Misha — 5/1/2022 12:45 AM
By the way, on the topic of improving your performance; we should work together to make it better for everyone by checking your own buildings on ways to optimize it! How we can do that is:

• Use less chisels in general! It’s good as a treat to decorate, don’t use chisel as the structure itself. Also as a note: full chisel blocks / walls / etc. are ESPECIALLY bad; I understand the appeal and won’t judge if you want to do a room or something with fancy or colors walls, just use it sparingly.

• Use lower quality sign pictures- compress it as a JPG if possible and just smaller in general; HD pictures can cause issues!

• Remember to remove statues and keep the number of ‘permanent’ statues limited. You can always put down more during rp!

• As a minor note: Crayfish tubs and possibly sinks can cause lag, we recommend switching it to Decocraft!
(But yes, go look at the guide linked above to help improve your performance too! Bless)



rosy — 5/5/2022 5:05 AM
= Be on a watch out for DMs from Hype Squad for Hype Events! They are scammy scammers! =

Remember to double check anything like that, report it, and not trust them :IsaBanHammer: Even if they look legit! Discord will honestly never PM you if you're good, and even if they do, it'll be extremely obvious. ! !



Vernon — 5/7/2022 12:39 PM
A little announcement about Pory rn, due to the Slash Commands feature causing issues, Pory will now be responding to commands with < not /.

I'm currently working on implementing slash commands for her as well but I'm just simply setting this up as a stopgap until then.



Stow — 6/1/2022 9:53 AM
Hello, quick announcement from Lore Team: with Scarlet and Violet releasing it's second trailer, we just want to remind you to not refer to any lore and/or new Pokemon in roleplay yet. This rule will be in place until after Lore Team has time to work with the information after the game releases (to which we'll put out an announcement regarding when it is clear). Thanks!



Alex — 6/3/2022 5:32 AM
im back in business baby! My excuse of being on ET break is no longer viable, feel free to bother me about whatever (but also pls understand it may take some time to get stuff done cuz im still german)



Stow — 6/5/2022 4:45 PM
Hello! If you have any of the OLD BP vouchers (the plant badge ones) please let me know so I can exchange them for the updated ones you can actually turn in for BP!



rosy — 6/6/2022 2:51 PM
:yay: Mewody, nya'll. We've been hearing through the gravevine that people may have some complaints, or concerns about somethings - specifically, Pokemon stat changes. What we haven't been seeing though, is tickets, trying to reach out to us.

Which is a shame, because we want to hear from you all! We can't know, or help, or try to explain our processes and thoughts, and reasons if... nobody asks! ^^; We really work hard, and want to do what's best for the community overall though.

We're dynamic, and we have changed things in the past based off of evidence - data - screenshots, math. So if ya got some too, that's a big help.

So please reach out respectfully if you're having problems, concerns, or just questions about it. Not just with this either, any issues, please let us know! We're not mind readers! -- Feel free to PM me personally if you have an issue.

Don't think your voice doesn't matter. We do this all FOR THE PLAYERS, and so, your opinions do matter, and we want to do what we can to quell any concerns or worries. Thank you!



rosy — 6/6/2022 2:58 PM
Additionally: Please don't worry about being a bother or anything. It 100% isn't! Tickets are good for that, and not missing anything. It makes talks an ease.

We appreciate it so much when people just give us a chance, and try to talk to us :3c~1: I much prefer it, especially when we can nip stuff in the bud. Prevent any resentment, misinformation, or any assumery, etc. okay love yall!! stay frosty!!



Skol — 6/8/2022 5:44 AM
Hey folks! Glancing at the event calendar, I noticed that we didn't have anything going on this Saturday and Sunday so...

I would like to organize some party games for this weekend! We can try to get either some Jack Box party games going, or Among Us! :AmongUsBlue:

Just to gauge interest, drop a reaction to this post! Thanks babes xoxo



Skol — 6/11/2022 6:20 PM
Okay hi again!

Among us at 8pm EST? (aka, an hour and 40 minutes from now)

rosy — 6/15/2022 7:56 PM
( IT'S OKAY TO GET BACK ON )



Stow — 6/17/2022 4:30 PM
Gonna put out an announcement regarding the Battle Tower:

If you make it to the Brain and cannot battle them, you can have two options - with screenshot proof you made it and can't fight it, you can either wait until it's eventually fixed for a chance to fight it, OR take half the BP you would have gotten from winning (10 instead of a chance to win 20). As always, put in a Staff Misc. ticket regarding these.



Misha — 6/19/2022 3:04 PM
Forum Maintenance soon; I'm going to be trying to update the forums in ~25 minutes at 3:30 EST, so please try not to post stuff until I say so! Save it elsewhere temporarily if needed. Thank you!



Misha — 6/19/2022 4:15 PM
Maintenance over, feel free to post! Forums are updated and all should be okay! If you notice anything off please inform me so I can look into it.



Misha — 6/19/2022 7:56 PM
Hey everyone! Due to several bugs regarding the Battle Tower, we're going to be switching it back to a Singles Format for the time being. While we hope to go back to Doubles in the future, we can't do so with our current version of Pixelmon being buggy with the feature in general.

For the future, however, when Doubles are working again, we'll be working to make both Singles AND Doubles available at the same time. We're still working out the ideas for how to make it possible, but when it's live we'll be sure to let you know how we're doing it.



rosy — 6/20/2022 2:29 PM
Ticket limit has been upped! Hopefully this will reduce some troubles that came from the one-ticket per category limit.



rosy — 6/20/2022 7:52 PM
With us growing in size. I would like to bring attention to some additional rules/guidelines that I expect everybody to follow.

I hope people read this, and help point people in the right direction - even if they're not staff!

Hello everyone! Quick announcement to say that the Battle Tower is now updated to Singles proper. Once Doubles is fixed, we'll start looking into adding the Doubles format alongside the Singles one.

A further, more important announcement: in all future events where the God-Butcher is present, and you choose to fight them, death consent will be enabled. To re-iterate for those who may be unfamiliar, death consent is where you are consenting to ET killing off your character by being present. This doesn't mean we're going to be actively targeting you and trying to kill you - rather, it's more of a "don't be stupid" warning.

Given the God-Butcher can show up at unexpected times, we will give players a turn or two to escape proper if they don't want to be involved. Death consent is more-so for those who choose to actively fight them. Furthermore, smaller, more personal events (such as ones made in tickets) are exceptions to this - outcomes can be discussed more proper in a smaller format, here. Lastly, we'll give reminders each time they show up just in case anyone forgets this announcement.

If there's any last minute texture things, let us know by the way! We want to try and release the texturepack tomorrow!

Hello all! We're trying to decide when a good time would be for the Festival of Lights! We know a lot of you are going to be away though, so I want to double check the best time, to get as many people as possible.

1️⃣ Option 1: JULY 17th-31
2️⃣ Option 2: JULY 24th - AUGUST 6th/7th

Or I guess, let us know!

:Decocraft: Announcement :
Hello it's been brought up that Decocraft props may bug out & stop working as storages! Especially ones that are taller than 1 block. We don't know why exactly, but!! It's a thing.

So I am encouraging people to move things to minecraft default chests. If you need chests/shulkers or OOC storage space, please let staff know ( & the mayor of your city) and we will help you out 👏

Hello everyone! Quick announcement from Lore Team regarding Meltan/Melmetal. With the Festival of Lights coming up, we've decided to change their catching and evolution requirements. In terms of catching, what this means is that we'll be allowing people to catch Meltan year-round rather than just at the Festival. They'll still spawn in mass at the FoL of course - but if you miss your chance, you can still search for a much rarer one in the wild later on.

In terms of evolution, we'll be keeping the new method secret so it can be discovered ICly. Anyone who wishes to evolve their Meltan should contact a member of Lore Team so we're aware, and we can help guide you through the process!

We'd like to make an important announcement, one that hasn't been made in a very long time! Here at Toro we have a wonderful staff behind us, each playing an important role in keeping this server running smoothly and efficiently. Today we are happy to welcome a "new" addition to our highest ranking, Game Moderator! This person has been with Toro for a long while now, even a GM once a long time ago. Well today we're happy to have back Heart as a GM of Toro! So please send some hearts to Heart and congratulate her.

QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm trying to fix something with our back up! Sorry the server is down!



Queen Heart — 7/13/2022 5:55 PM
My apologies, this may take longer than previous thought due bugs in the console software we use. Thankfully the creator of the software is actively working on it but I will let you all know when the server is back up.

Tonight we're making some updates to ICGM-Ms and Paychecks; I have to ask that you do not submit any ICGM-M forms for the time being. Additionally, some perms will be adjusted so you may be unable to use your kit. Stuff will be fixed up soon and I'll be putting out another announcement with more details on changes once everything is in place! Thank you for your patience!



Misha — 7/17/2022 3:41 AM
Hey guys, we've revamped IC-GM: Monopoly stuff a bit based on feedback and more experience! The new thread with all the information regarding IC-GM:Ms can be found at:
viewtopic.php?t=5107

==Notable changes==

• Business Forms are a touch more involved now (and will need to be redone!) We're trying to really focus making it rewarding to actually run your business, so the form is more based around that! Note: Employees do not need to do anything different and will be keeping their paychecks.

Apologies for the fact you need to redo it; we wanted to make sure people are paid fairly & appropriately. We figured it'd be better just having y'all redo we do it so we can re-review stuff with fresh eyes rather than trying to grandfather in old ones that may be handled different now! Feel free to use your old one to work from though- hey can be found in this subforum: viewforum.php?f=106

• All IC-GM Monopoly stuff will be handled in one thread. With each business having its own thread it was a lot harder keeping track of things and everything was just sorta all over the place.

• /kits are separate again! Instead of a combined total kit it'll stick to smaller ones. This will make it easier to update them moving forward and will also hopefully make it easier to separate & track different character's banks separately as appropriate.

• We now provide a small bonus to folk who run / help in public events! Find the info under the 'Event Bonuses' post in the thread.

• Paychecks going to inactive players / characters have been removed. Just a simple routine clean up since we still had some around from people long gone!

==Paycheck Tracker Sheet==
To see what /kit(s) you have access to please look at this sheet!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Please let us know if there's any issues such as missing paychecks or wrong information! Outside of the purposeful removal of paychecks for owning a business mentioned above of course. I may have accidentally removed a paycheck I shouldn't have because of a simple technical error or misunderstanding. Just make a post in the thread saying what's incorrect and we'll fix it!



Stow — 7/17/2022 2:41 PM
Hi everyone! We've heard some thoughts about Toroan Relicanth, and suggestions to help the Pokemon stand out a bit more. Namely, there was feedback about its lack of moves, recovery, and issues with the HA. So we're happy to announce some new changes with this upcoming update to Toro! Like always, if you have polite feedback about any changes to Pokemon or Toroan Forms, feel free to make a Lore Team ticket!

T-Relicanth Changes

-Changed HA to Flash Fire
-Added Thunderbolt, Energy Ball, Sludge Wave, Stealth Rock, and Body Press to TMs/TRs
-Changed Fire Blast to Recover on Level Up Moves
-Added Scorching Sands and Burning Jealously to IoA Tutor Moves



Stow — 7/23/2022 5:22 PM
Lore Team coming in with another announcement - this one is in regards to Gengar and Marshadow's shadow abilities, and how to properly RP them. viewtopic.php?t=5115

Furthermore, with some feedback from several players, we've decided to re-adjust Marshadow. These changes will be going in shortly, alongside the Relicanth changes, in the next update. We'll be monitoring Marshadow to see if we need to make further adjustments or not, so all (polite) feedback regarding it is helpful!

Marshadow
HP: 70 (-20)
Attack: 110 (-15)
Defense: 80
Sp. Attack: 90
Sp. Def: 90
Speed: 125

A big thank you to the contributers - and especially Punk!
Please just sorta, put it ontop of the normal texture pack!

Queen Heart — 8/17/2022 11:16 AM
Hello! Just a quick announcement due to a change in how we're doing things, but if you are interested in catching a mythical, make an Event Team ticket instead of a Lore Team one. This will make things easier for us along with how we've changed handling these types of events. Don't worry about changing tickets if you have already made an LT ticket for a mythical, this is just for future reference! Thanks all!

Hey folk, there's some changes to Toro's Staff + some New Groups!
viewtopic.php?t=5143

There is a new general staff role, Helpers, which is just a simple position for those helpful folk who wanna take on a bit more to help the server! It's also the new stepping stone if you want to be on any of the specialized teams!

The new groups- Committees- are not staff positions, and trusted players can join them!

Additionally we further clarified what each staff position entails. Overall I'd just recommend looking over the new post. Please consider joining our team if you wanna help out the server!

Note: Please be detailed with your reasonings if possible! Just telling us "it's broken/weak" doesn't help too much!

Please be sure to download this and equip it BEFORE tonight's event. Try to, if possible, give yourself some time before doing this at the eleventh hour, as it's pretty important for the builds. Thank y'all and have an absolutely wonderful day.

Hey everybody! Lore Team here with any cool lore post for y'all to enjoy. We've come to the realization that, considering how crucial it was to the very settling of the Toro Region, that many people don't have any way to read about the history of Poké Balls! Once we noticed that, we spent some time digging through our records and timelines to make sure everything matched up, and got this nice document outlining how Poké Balls improved over the centuries! We've also clarified and better outlined the process for learning to construct Poké Balls, as that had previously been more vague than we would've liked it. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!

Hello folks!

I'm here with an important announcement regarding gyms: As of now, Gym leaders will now award 20 BP upon challengers defeating them

EDIT: Each gym will award a flat 20 bp. My apologies for the inaccurate information!

We hope that this new system will encourage others to participate in the gym circuit and offer other routes to earn BP, other than grinding the Battle Tower.

As a final addendum, If you have defeated a gym in the last month, you are entitled to the bp that gym would have awarded!

Hey all! So it's come to our attention that people have been doing a lot of mean-spirited joking lately and it's started to get too much. We definitely get doing it to friends, especially when we know they can dish it back, but sometimes when it's done in a public chat or even to others who might not like it/don't know how to stand up for themselves, it can make people uncomfortable. We just ask that we all reign in on those types of jokes and also nip it in the bud if we see others doing so! We should be building each other up rather than tearing each other down.

Another reminder, please open a CM ticket know if you see any issues or something being uncool. We can't be around all the time and don't know everything until people tell us. When this happens, we do work to rectify the situation as best we can!

We love and appreciate all of the members of our server! ❤️ Let's work together on making Toro a better community for all to enjoy! 🥳

Quick update from the Battle Tower: we now have a General Move Ticket! This will replace our old Gen 7, Egg Move, and Transfer tickets and become an "all in one" sort of deal to make things a bit easier for Staff. If you still have any of the old tickets on hand, we will still take those for the time being, however they are no longer being sold at the Battle Tower.

:littlehammer: Hello everyone, we have an important announcement about the server's wellbeing: In the past week we have found that LittleTiles has been causing a memory-leak and thus is a leading suspect in the cause of much of the server's lag & crashes.

So regrettably we will be announcing that LittleTiles will be removed from the server. At this time we ask that everyone begin converting anything that you have that is LittleTiles into Chisel & Bits, where applicable!

We'll be giving roughly two weeks time to make the conversion and afterwards LittleTiles will be removed. After the removal, Tech Team will have a backup of the map that can be used in the event something was not converted during the period or anything that was lost.

In the future we'll be keeping an eye on any developments when it comes to LittleTiles and the possibility of re-adding it when memory-leak issues are resolved.

You have until [enter discord time thingy here]

🔸 TL;DR:::: LittleTiles is being removed! Please convert everything to Chisel & Bits! -- We will be keeping an eye on LittleTiles to see if future versions are better.

To convert LittleTiles to C&Bs:

To convert something from LittleTiles all you need to do is interact with it a Chisel & Bits object. Such as: the chisel or a bit.

For large objects, if you need to scale it up, I like to use the drag fill tool, and fill it up with a uncommon block [like sponge] - and then break away the sponge.

You can also just add a bit from it & remove it

Or temporarily replace the materials in chisels & bits - and undo it!

If you need help, ask staff~!

Hello everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the opening to this year's Halloween event arc, there's more to come and spooky things to look forward to. With this announcement we're releasing the Wraith event form in which you can fill out to receive a personal event. Wraiths are demons in which take the shape or form of a person's fear, sin, or nightmares! We will be ensuring that everyone who wants one will get one! Thus we ask that if you make a request for one of these events on more than one character that you choose one a a priority. Likewise another way to help lessen the load for ET and staff running these you can invite others to your Wraith event and face your fears together! For now, I hope you all have a spooky and nightmare filled night.

Bedtime — 10/23/2022 12:46 AM
Hey y'all!!! CM bedtime here with a friendly Reminder!~
Just re-stating the rules and basic conduct we use for events, specifically about OOC clutter and 'dashes'.

Please remember that events can be chaotic and disorganized, however, please do not add to this clutter of emotes with your OOC comments, please leave OOC and LOOC chats clear and open for if someone has a question pertinent to the ongoing rp. It also helps DM's better read and acknowledge all actions that are occurring.

Dashes are a simple rule; if you see a DM type a - at the end of an emote OR on its own, please do not emote until another emote occurs, this is usually used whenever an emote is far too big to fit in a single emote, or when the DM needs to reposition something within the field.
A side note to dashes, please do not emote out new areas or Pokémon that have not been showcased in a DM emote but have appeared as statues or after being teleported. As some things may need clarification (Ex. A beautiful field of red flowers may not have flowers at all, but red Lollipops growing out of it instead)

And also, here's a link to our RP etiquette guideline! Most information should be found here regarding these sorts of things, but if there's any specifics then please feel free to ask away!!!

Hey everyone, wanted to give a quick update about the Wraith Events. As the event is going until Saturday, and we have limited ET, we just wanted to give the heads up that we'll only likely be doing one event per person. You're free to submit for more characters, however we do recommend you mention which character you'd prefer to get the event given these circumstances.



Stow — 10/24/2022 3:54 PM
Hey guys, another announcement! This time about demon events - we've heard some people are a bit confused on the severity of the Nightmares plaguing the region. To put it simply, they are dangerous - however, you aren't limited to just shelter RP. Leaving the shelters does not mean character death is enabled - it means simply to be cautious of your surroundings (and probably don't sleep outside). If your character's stressed out about stepping outside of the shelters through the arc, it's worth noting that the threat posed by demons within towns will decrease over the course of the event, as they're taken out by RTMP and other Toroans alike. Right now they're still freshly released and swarming, but it should be fairly safe to pop out to civilized areas for sunlight and groceries - just avoid going into the wilderness if the character isn't confident in their battling abilities!

Secondly, and more importantly: if you're beginning to feel overwhelmed during an RP (especially ambush ones), whether its due to the content or amount of stuff happening, please let the DM know. If we don't know, we can't adjust to make things better for you, so please be vocal!

Toro Textures and Directory

Hello everyone! This is a message from Dianamond. For the past few weeks, with the help of the GMs, I've been compiling all of the texture files into pictures and documents to make things a little easier for everyone when wanting to preview what your Pokemon may look like before using a texture item, and if it can even use the item. I will be doing my best with the texture-committee and GMs to ensure that these documents will be kept up to date with new additions every update, so I'm so grateful for the patience and appreciation behind it all!

That being said, every texture item will have pictures on their respective documents. The only ones that will not be receiving a physical photo texture document is the Pinkans, due to Punkinator919's hard work to bring more Pinkans to Toro, and the Normalizing Tofu as it just reverts a Pokemon back to its normal textures. Due to Pinkans not getting a photo gallery, if you are curious, please contact me on the server (Dianamond1) or on Discord (Dianamond#0161) as part of the texture-committee if you cannot get ahold of official staff to preview Pinkan textures as plushies.

We look forward to bringing you more exciting textures for your cherished Pokemon to obtain. And if you'd like, you can always tell us your favorites, as we now have a credit key with emoji's for their respective creators on the master document!

Hey everyone!!! CMtime💤 here with another announcement!~ As more and more people join us here in Toro (and likely far more on the way with the imminent approach of the release of Scarlet and Violet,) we'd like to address some community concerns.

Recently, we've received reports of the voice channels being labeled as 'hostile' and players reportedly being aggressive, loud, and sometimes angry; this is unacceptable behavior. We've also received reports of members avoiding engaging with the voice channels altogether out of fear of experiencing this kind of behavior.

Firstly, we want to discourage this behavior, even if the aggressiveness is a 'joke' or if it's simply a 'goof between friends.' Making these sorts of jokes can cause others in the channel to become very uncomfortable, and as such, we want to reduce (or possibly eliminate) these sorts of comments. Secondly, this statement will pair with action: if CMs are made aware of anyone engaging in this kind of hostile behavior, they will be warned on the first offense and banned from the voice channel section on the second offense. We will decide on punishment duration and other specifics once the ban occurs.

We want to make Toro as much of an accepting and friendly place as possible, and you have all been doing a fantastic job making it that way on the other fronts!! We sincerely hope we won't need to punish anyone with a ban. We trust you all, so, please! For a better Toro!!!



Stow — 10/28/2022 2:51 PM
Hey fellas, two quick announcements:

First, the Wraith Sign-Up sheet is closing tomorrow when the event begins. So if you have a Wraith event you haven't put in yet, PLEASE do it by the time the event starts tomorrow!

Secondly, I'm giving the heads up that character death is enabled at the finale. As always, this doesn't mean the DMs are going to target you to kill your character. Just keep in mind your characters actions, and whether they should even be present or not (depending on the severity of their injuries from previous wraith events), and you'll be fine.

If you have any further questions regarding either of these, please put in an ET ticket!



Vernon — 10/28/2022 8:02 PM
WOAH hey gang- so the new Resource Pack is ready! Just in time for tomorrow! Here you all go- make sure to update! This is to Replace The existing pack!
As always, a big thank you to @unknown-role for their hard work to get these updates out.



Vernon — 10/30/2022 3:10 PM
Hey everybody! GM team has a little announcement to make for you all!

-----------------------

Over the past year, Toro's staff team has been working extremely hard, and the GMs have decided it's a good time to give everyone a break! Now- obviously we can't shut down the whole server, and we can't just not have staff doing things for the whole time- so we've wrote up a few guidelines of what this all entails:

For the month of November:
=> Event Team will not be running any major arcs. We will assist with player ran things, and handle smaller personal or group event requests, but there will not be any Order, or otherwise larger event activity. Notably: Personal Events will likely take longer to enact, so don't expect anything quickly.

=> Lore Team will only be answering smaller questions. Big projects, unless majorly time sensitive, are on pause.

=> The other teams unfortunately cannot stop all of their duties. CM team as well as the App Team really can't take a break there, but we also recognize that they're not as easily being overwhelmed. Please be nice to them.

=> The GMs are obviously going to keep working, we have a lot of things to do, as always. However, we still plan on observing these same breaks for our respective duties as we can.

=> Players will be allowed to run events! ET will happily help them along with that, but we request that you all get things in by November 4th if possible, so we can get the event calendar out before the end of the week!

@everyone Not sorry for the ping :RangerIceDab:



Vernon — 10/31/2022 2:22 AM
With Pokemon Scarlet and Violet releasing in just a few weeks (November 18th), we've decided to repurpose our chats from Legends: Arceus and use it just for ScarVi discussions! Aside from the Spoilers chat.

There are three new parts to the server. There's the two text channels ⁠🍊🍇┃pokemon-scarlet-and-violet and ⁠🍊scarlet-violet-vc-text🍇 as well as a voice chat channel ⁠🍊scarlet-violet-vc-text🍇 nestled into the list of voice channels to go with them. To access these, you need to run the command <joinspoilers in ⁠bot-command-center

These channels are for streaming, posting live updates, and so on. If we catch you doing this outside these channels, we're gonna get a little steamy :DtSmug:

And of course, if you start worrying you're falling behind and going to get spoiled, you can always do <leavespoilers in the ⁠bot-command-center to leave the group and revoke your access to these channels.

Thank y'all, have fun!

Additively: We say this every time a new Pokemon Game drops but:

One: It's the ever familiar drill: Do not refer to any lore in Scarlet and Violet for a period of time until Lore Team has had time to work with it. We will make an announcement when this lifts and release a statement about lore changes. You are not allowed to make references IC or OOC on server or in RP as both are infractions to this ban and we'll probably end up retconning your RP.

Two: Stay off Bulbapedia if you're avoiding spoilers, there's a lot of spoilers on there, or rather there will be once the games drop. Serebii is probably not safe either, as well as twitter, and be careful on places like Youtube too and other Discord servers.

Lastly: Thank you @Bedtime for changing the channel emojis for me, I was too lazy to :3c~1:

Hey folk, with us getting into November I would like to give a small reminder to submit any event ideas you want to run yourself through an ET ticket! Both what you'd like to do, as well as when you're hoping to run it. This way it can be included in the event calendar and help reduce accidental overlap!

The event calendar should be put out on the 4th, so please contact us before then. Thank you!



Misha — 11/4/2022 1:22 PM
Hey guys! With the new Pokemon game coming out, the GMs think it'll be nice to do a little giveaway for the community!

==Prize==
Pokemon Scarlet OR Pokemon Violet! You can choose which one.

Digital or Physical version will depend on your location, comfort, and preference. The Physical version would be bought through a seller (Gamestop, Amazon, etc.) to be delivered to you.

==Rules==
1. Do not enter if you already plan to get it / have it pre-ordered! The idea of this is to give this to folk who want it but are not able to afford or get it at this time.
2. This is only for whitelisted members of the community who have been active for over a month! We don't want folk to join Toro- or return- exclusively for this, or to give it to folk who might be in the Discord but aren't actually part of the community.
3. Only enter for yourself. Please do not enter on the behalf of others- even if they qualify for it- let them enter themself. We want everyone to have an equal chance.

==Ends==
November 16, 2022. The giveaway bot has the exact time.

==How to Enter==
Click the button in the message found in the ⁠giveaway-center!

Pory-Chan — 11/6/2022 1:04 AM
Hello Toro. Regretfully, the CMs and GMs have come to a decision that we will be shutting down Voice Channels for an undetermined amount of time. This is due to the high amount of issues that have stemmed from these channels, many which go against who we are as a community as well as our rules.

During events, we will allow VCs to be used for coordination during an event but a GM or CM must be present. If none are available, then the VC will not be opened.

The discord servers affected by this are as follows:
- Toro League
- Toro Roleplay
- Toro League - Next Generation Chat

@everyone



Misha — 11/7/2022 4:31 PM
Howdy Toro folk, just wanna mention there's a new little category called RP Resources with three new channels, hope you find it useful! Make sure to read the guidelines!

📖┃resources - This contains various misc. small guides and other resources that could be useful to have on hand! Feel free to add create posts or suggest stuff that could be added.

🪙┃directory - This can contain info about businesses, organizations, and other various establishments / groups that offer RP Opportunities! Let others know about your place so people know various options for RP! Note: This is not to post about specific events or business openings, those should stay in ⁠unknown.

❗┃bulletin-board - This channel is to promote work / volunteer opportunities for RP!



Stow — 11/13/2022 4:07 PM
Hey guys! We've been getting lore questions on stuff that's previously been answered. We wanted to gently remind you all to search and see if it's been answered before in the past in ⁠❓┃lore-questions. To do so, go to the top right search bar and type in:
in: lore-questions
Afterwards, put in keywords after for what you're wanting to find!



Queen Heart — 11/13/2022 6:33 PM
Just a heads up! The Ticket Bot is currently offline for an undetermined amount of time due to maintenance. Will post again when it's back!

We will be doing more giveaways soon so please be on the look out for those!!



Queen Heart — 11/16/2022 11:30 PM
@Whitelisted
Hello Toro, I'm happy to announce that the Voice Chats are back! Alongside restructuring the channels, we also are introducing new rules for VCs. Make sure you review them completely and follow them- hopefully by doing so we'll reduce the issues a bit moving forward!

If you're interested in joining the Voice Chats do <joinvc in ⁠bot-command-center. Pory will send you a DM with the rules alongside an additional command to confirm you are accepting the rules- you will be able to access the VCs after you run it. Do not share this command and let people find it themselves. Thank you!

💝rules-and-resources💝 will be edited in the near future to include a link to a Google Doc with the rules to make them easier to find.



Vernon — 11/16/2022 11:50 PM
Since we've had a DM and message or two about confusion, yes! Pory will delete the command after you run it, but you need to run it in ⁠bot-command-center! Just to clear up any confusion!

To further clarify: The command that is listed in the rules gets ran in ⁠bot-command-center. Not in DMs with Pory.



Vernon — 11/17/2022 12:45 AM
Hey gang, today is the very last day before Scarlet and Violet release, and the GMs figured we'd go over this one last time:

There are three new parts to the server.

These channels are for streaming, posting live updates, and so on. If we catch you doing this outside these channels, we're gonna get a little steamy :DtSmug:

And of course, if you start worrying you're falling behind and going to get spoiled, you can always do <leavespoilers in the ⁠bot-command-center to leave the group and revoke your access to these channels.

Stow — 12/3/2022 12:54 PM
All Secret Santa's are out! The details for everything are in your respective posts, but as a reminder - please send me what you plan to give your Secret Santa as soon as you possibly know (BEFORE you give it) so I can track it!

:toro: Announcing the opening of Champions Park! :toro:

Located above the Battle Tower, Champions Park is an exclusive area for Champion-Rank trainers and certain guests they may bring. It provides a relaxing and private area to hone ones skills in battle with their Pokemon, while also being able to compete with those who share a similar power level. The Toro Pokemon League invites any and all battlers to try their skills against the Gyms, Elite Four, and Top Champion in order to gain access!

-------------------------------------------

Champions Park is a new area we've created for those who have become Champion on Toro! Located at the very top of the Battle Tower, the area holds several Pokemon that make EV training and XP grinding super quick and easy. To gain access, you simply need to become Champion of Toro! However even if you lose your spot, you don't lose access. This is both an IC and OOC reward - if you become champion on one character, you can use the Park for all. This is also (currently) a lifetime award, so you don't need to become champion again - however, we reserve to right to re-evaluate this policy.

As mentioned, you may only enter if you become champion. If you enter, ICly or OOCly, and have not been a champion, you will be punished. Same rules as the Dojo for the most part! If you do want access, though, good luck with the League!



Queen Heart — 12/5/2022 9:26 AM

🔶 Toro Update Time! 🔷
Hello all! It's time for an update to a server! A bit ago, we said we were going to be removing LittleTiles due to a technical issues. After some testing, we've decided to just update it. We'll be keeping a very close eye on it but please be mindful of using it! If something is funky then stop right away. Hopefully this change will help prevent future problems!

This does mean that anything that hadn't been converted was removed. We have backups so if something needs to get imported, please make a Tech Ticket and we'll get to you when we can! If you see something weird looking on the server, like blocks missing that should be there, make a tech ticket or post in ⁠❔┃help-desk ! Thank you all ❤️

Stow — 12/5/2022 10:44 AM
Hello everyone! With the update, we wanted to give you guys a bit of a changelog for some modified Pokemon and Toroan forms! We took your feedback seriously from that survey a few months back, and here are the results!

Changelog (Version 3.27)

Toroan Dragonair
-Draco Meteor added to Tutor Moves

Toroan Shiinotic
-COMPLETE Rework! See its forum post for more details!

Toroan Yanma/Yanmega
-Removed Dragon Dance
-Swapped Defense and Special Attack Stats

Toroan Skiddo/Gogoat
-Swapped HP and Speed Stats

Melmetal
-Attack buffed to 120

Kartana
-Attack buffed up to normal

As always, we are always taking (polite) feedback! If you have any more, especially with these new changes, please refer to a Battle Committee member!



Stow — 12/6/2022 9:15 PM
As a reminder, gift giving day for Secret Santa is the 25th, just to minimize chance of narrowing down who your gift giver is! If you have to give it early for any reason (such as a sale before then for example), just let me know!



Stow — 12/10/2022 2:20 PM
Hey, quick note! We noticed that Toroan Shiinotic didn't have the Calm Mind TR in its movepool - this is a mistake. Until we're able to update the config again, if you want Calm Mind on your T-Shiinotic please put in a ticket requesting a staff member to do so!



rosy — 12/17/2022 4:25 AM
Hello all! I've adjusted some chat ranges, to give them a whirl! - We figured it might be better for roleplay cohesion - but please let us know any feedback! We'll post a more visual guide once we know the ranges are okay.

This is another reminder for people to try and use the appropriate chat ranges as well - especially in areas with a lot of people! ♥ Thank you!
/w - 2 blocks
/c - 5 blocks
/t - 12 blocks 20 blocks
/s - 40 blocks

/looc - 13 blocks 21 blocks
This change may seem surprising, but we find /looc is some of the most disruptive parts in chat - especially how it was a large range before. We ask that people start using brackets in /c or /w too if loocing with people next to you, to help cut any disruptive spam.

upcoming:
/sooc - 41 blocks ⭐ Implemented
We also plan on adding a secondary, ooc chat that will be more suited for events - but wouldn't be ignored like /ooc.
For clarity: I chose /looc for the one to shrink, since, that's the one we're all used to! and because /sooc (( name pending )) would be more for, events :3

You can put feedback in ⁠❔┃help-desk where it's more easily seen - or make a thread-- or open a ticket. BUT!! I hope this helps with rp!



Stow — 12/17/2022 3:36 PM
Small announcement! We’ll be adding both Slowbro and Galarian Slowbro to the list of Pokémon that can learn Teleport. Like the rest, they’ll require a Teleport Voucher!



Vernon — 12/18/2022 12:02 PM
Aaattention all members of Toro- with Wipper stepping down from the position of Champion, we've decided that it's best we keep someone or something in the championship slot! So there's a little change going on here!

Effective immediately, Moss will be taking over as the Champion for any future matches- while Heart is going to take over in his stead for Elite Four.

This change is a little sudden- so we ask you all give Moss and Heart some time to finish preparing their teams for their respective roles.

If you have any questions for why we've made this decision, please feel free to reach out to me! I'm happy to explain- since we actually do have a reason for placing someone in the Champ's seat going forward.

HAPPY NEW YEARS LOSERS! :PanParty:



kc — 1/1/2023 12:02 AM
As the bells toll another year passes, welcome everyone 2023! Happy New Years! This year marks Toro League's 10th Anniversary, a feat that deserves celebrations. So starting today, we mark the start of a year long hurrah for an amazing community! When Peach and Griff started Toro ten years ago I don't think anyone expected it to still be standing strong. Not only that but over the years our community has grown and thrived. So from the bottom of our hearts we thank all of you for your contributions and hours of roleplay with us. As stated our celebration will be taking place all year and we will be starting strong. Please look forward to some exciting news coming out, it'll be the biggest thing to hit the server since Mega Evolution. Once again Happy New Years and here's to another year full of roleplay!
@everyone

Here is my yearly HAPPY NEW YEARS from the EST gang! It's been such a year, so many new faces, so many familiar faces too~ it's amazing to see the server grow, in people, in staff, in friends, in map, lore, in Pokemon anddd ahhhh just so so much! I am so glad for the patience, joy, dedication, generosity, understanding, and kindness people learn and share with eachother. I can't believe it's been so many years, and I swear we just keep getting stronger through troubles and it all.

I promise to continue to learn, to grow, and to do my best for you all ♥ I have so many things I still want to do, that I'm resolved to do for the server and you people. I'm so thankful for the support, and thankful people are around. I am always sappy on New Years, sorry, but I seriously love nya'll!! This server is so important to me, and I am so thankful that all of you are here with me. To another year on Toro! :emoteCheers:



Stow — 1/1/2023 1:10 AM
Happy New Years everyone! I made a thread in general chat, ⁠unknown, if you want to share your goals for the new year! It's wonderful to see how much this community has grown in the seven years I've been a part of it. I can't wait for many more - I love you all!



Vernon — 1/5/2023 11:13 PM
Good Afternoon gang. It's been a while since Scarlet and Violet released! We just wanted to let people know the Spoiler Ban is loosening!

Not fully lifted! No talking about legendaries (other than the box legendaries Koraidon and Miraidon), Plot Details, or leaks. All of that stays in the various spoiler channels! But now, for example, you can discuss best boy Clodsire! Happy Clodding! :quagsire:

This is only in the discord to note. Please avoid referring to Paldea related things in RP until Lore Team makes an announcement where that's ok.



Bedtime — 1/6/2023 6:58 PM

Hey folks: I'm gonna remind everyone that if an RTMP officer is off duty, and they say "I'm off duty", y'all open an RTMP ticket about whatever you're approaching them about. They're not supposed to be doing RTMP work if their character is off duty. Please respect that.



Misha — 1/8/2023 6:17 PM
Howdy, I have news from the Battle Committee regarding the gym rules! The first Global Gym Rule has been rewritten to be more clear:

• One attempt at one Gym per season. Failed attempts, rematches, and new gyms share a timer that resets every Sunday.

If you have anymore questions go ahead and ask in ⁠🎁┃toro-topics or make a misc staff ticket for clarification!



Stow — 1/15/2023 10:22 PM
Hello everyone! I know y’all are excited to do stuff on the new islands with Dynamax, but there are a few ground rules to cover first:

First, regarding travel and the boat: it takes an IC week to travel between Toro and Aquarelle. If you plan to have your character go, please note they will be there for 2-3 OOC days before you are able to RP them back on the mainland. There will be multiple boats, so you can leave after this time period whenever you choose. In the future, a faster method of travel will be implemented to make the island more accessible. Furthermore, a healer is on the boat (and soon on the island proper connected to a safe generator) but not a PC. So the six Pokémon you bring to the island are the ones you have to use.

Next, Dynamax Dens. The Dens cannot be moved from their position. Despite Pixelmon showing a model of the Pokémon inside, you won’t know ICly until you start the raid. Raids are started by going inside the den, to which you’ll be transported to a very large cavern that’s unnatural for the location the den is. You can only enter this cave by going through the den, almost as if the cave is somehow inside it. Pokémon in the raids can not be caught UNTIL they shrink down ICly at this current time. This may change in the future, however…

In terms of construction, it will take several days (if not weeks) to repair buildings. If your character would like to contribute to building, please put in an ET ticket so we can work out the details with you! Do not edit any of the blocks or landscapes - normal building rules apply here. NOTE - SEE NEW ANNOUNCEMENT: ⁠important-announcements⁠

Finally, and most importantly, going further out alone carries a higher risk of danger of being injured compared to going with a group. Furthermore, losing a Dynamax raid is going to suck bad and will likely result in injury (though no enforced death). Please RP this out appropriately - if you are having trouble with this, put in an ET ticket!

Any further questions should be asked in ET tickets as well - have fun!



Stow — 1/16/2023 5:43 PM
Hello everyone! Staff just wanted to give a quick reminder that the statue limit rule (two per person) is still in place! Furthermore, we request that you only place statues if they're necessary in an effort to reduce server lag. If a statue doesn't need to be there, then we'd appreciate if it was removed! That being said, don't feel discouraged to put any down if you want to spruce up your campsite some - just be reasonable!

Furthermore, any Pokemon a trainer puts down for guarding/other reasons can not and should not be used in RP later on, as they will not ICly be on their person. If you wish to change this, the statue must be removed. If you need multiple Pokemon in an area, we request you use signs or signpictures to signify their presence!



Stow — 1/17/2023 5:42 PM
Hello everyone! We wanted to put out a quick announcement regarding construction, as we see people building up and repairing structures. To put it simply - a lot of this stuff is temporary measures. Big builds and repairs cannot be done for a few reasons, namely the fact that there would be a large lack of materials for large scale projects such as this, as well as the fact that much of the land is still privately owned. While the refugees had to be temporarily evacuated during the investigation, they did not abandon their homes and land - and so we ask you to try and respect that as much as possible! So for clarification, all big building projects will be put on hold/need further discussion due to the temporary nature of this.

HOWEVER, there are plans for an Aquarelle Restoration project in the future for more long-term measures! We'll keep you posted on that when the time ends up rolling around! Our apologies for any confusion of our initial phrasing, as well!



Vernon — 1/19/2023 12:04 AM
Hey all! Vern here!

The GMs and the Community Moderation team would like to make an announcement, and a change to the team that will take effect immediately:

The Community Moderation team is now being renamed into Community Relations. This is to better reflect what the team actually is- a PR style team that is here to help mitigate issues with the server and resolve them, or help people figure out ways to handle issues! For example, let's say you're worried about how your friend is behaving, but are a little worried about approaching them? We can do that for you! Not everything the CR team is going to do requires disciplinary action! We're open to be talked to about things- or even just vent about server related issues that you just need to get off your chest!

CR tickets are confidential, and won't be shared with anyone outside the team! And we won't take action unless asked to! We also wanted to make it clear that CR tickets are not the only way of getting things done! We understand that we're human- and sometimes the CR team or even the GM team can upset people. If you're not comfortable with reporting something about a member (or members) of CR or GM, approach a different member of CR/GM team and we'll have a group chat made or ticket made where you can discuss with the team about that person in privacy.



Stow — 1/19/2023 2:12 AM
Quick announcement from Lore Team: the spoiler ban on Scarlet and Violet is officially lifted. All aspects of the game can now be discussed, including Pokemon previously not allowed to be. However we do ask you to be courteous towards people who still may want to avoid endgame story spoilers and Pokemon, please.



Misha — 1/24/2023 9:56 PM
Howdy y'all, a change you'll see is that the Game Moderator (GM) position is being renamed to Admin! The term 'GM' just has lots of different meanings in different communities, and we figure that doing this would make the position's responsibilities clearer.

We'll be going through to try and update the resources & in game roles soon, but if you see anything off or have questions give me a lil poke! :mattgoodboi:



rosy — 2/3/2023 11:25 PM
Hello before the big event this Saturday there is a few Event Etiquette things I'd like to remind everybody about!:

- DON'T RUN AHEAD IN EVENTS
- Be patient with your DMs! If they miss you, gently remind them.
- Don't clog up OOC chats with chatter, meta battle planning, and especially NO arguments! Please! DMs are volunteers.
- Respect the DMs and your fellow players. Contact the CRs and make a ticket after is there are issues and try to continue on , or, step away.

Overall, just everything here:
https://www.toro-league.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4481

Lastly, even though it's not listed there, we request people respect the event and the other RPers and DMs by NOT derailing the mood ! ::

- Be subtle with references to outside media, such as instead of saying:
This reminds me of a scene right out of Avengers: Endgame™️ - keep it more subtle, " This reminds me of a superhero film . " or yanno, not at all! This is actually already a rule we have listed in ⁠💝rules-and-resources💝 but a reminder!

- Excessive joking and meme behavior during serious or tender moments - There is a time and place for them, with friends, or outside of big public events - but do not ruin others immersion or enjoyment with overly comedic actions.

It just isn't fair to the Players and DMs who are trying to keep tensions, and have serious RP, it can be disruptive. Especially if characters react to other characters treating their comedic actions as gauche, in rude fashions. Don't blame people if they wanna have a serious RP during a SERIOUS event is all. -- You get what I mean. just, c'mon lets be cool :3

If you see someone with the disruptive attitude feel free to remind them to tone it down or ask a staff for help! But if others already are don't add to it cause thst can cause OOC spam and a feeling of being ganged up on.

Bedtime — 2/18/2023 8:23 PM
Hello Everyone!!
Battle Committee Bedtime here with some exciting news!

Champion System Rework

With the release of the newest Pokémon game, we took a very pointed interest at their champion system; as all of us agreed that a system like theirs could work exceedingly well in a setting like ours.
The system in Scarlet and Violet works in that there is not 1 decided champion, but instead by beating the Elite Four and one Champion-Rank trainer, you become a Champion-Rank trainer yourself without stripping the opponent of their title!
So cut the chit chat short; Toro’s new champion system will work like this:

-Those who either were a Champion before or beat a Champion-Rank trainer going forwards will be classified as Champion-Rank Trainers!

-Once someone defeats the Elite four, they will be able to challenge a Champion-Rank trainer for a chance to claim the title as well!

-The Champion-Rank trainer that the challenger will face will be random! Though there can be exceptions in case the Champion-Rank trainer has a special relation to the challenger (an example being Xen being determined to defeat specifically Aaron)

-Once someone becomes a Champion-Rank trainer, that title cannot be revoked; unless the trainer does criminal acts that befit this de-entitlement.

That's about it! The rest of the system will likely stay the same regarding the elite four and the process for it; though changes can happen suddenly! Be on the lookout for more announcements
And finally, here's the Newly Reworked Forum post where we go more in depth about the changes, take a look!:

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday afternoon, I am coming to let you all know for the time being the Lore questions channel will be closed down for a week starting today. Why? Well most of those on Lore Team are currently on break and I am trying to avoid us getting a backlog of questions on top of what already needs to be answered. We of course will be answering what's already in there! Rest assured though, if you are in need of something time sensitive or required for current roleplay you can still of course open up a ticket and someone will get to you as soon as possible! I apologize if the delay in responses from Lore Team as of late have caused any inconveniences. Thank you all for being part of a great community and have fun roleplaying like always.



Misha — 2/27/2023 11:49 PM
Howdy Toro folk there's a small update for ICGM-Ms! They're being renamed to just 'Economy Forms' to be more clear and it's being moved to the Business Directory subforum. It can be found here: viewtopic.php?t=5295 No current paychecks are being altered so no worries about that.

There's also a few more rules and guidelines in place now. If you are a Business Owner looking to hire folk I ask that you look at the guides before hiring any NPCs! For any questions, suggestions, or feedback please use the form linked in the thread and do not DM folk.



Misha — 3/6/2023 12:47 AM
Howdy Toro folk! We have a few small announcements and reminders-

* We're looking for more Trainers and Helpers! If you're interested you can find a list of what they do and their applications at...
Trainers: viewtopic.php?t=5136
Helpers: viewtopic.php?t=5135

* Be mindful about asking for stuff from ET. Both how often you do it and how you approach them or any problems!
They're folk with their own lives and may be busy with their school, work, health, or other matters- and right now it's especially slow since it's a busy time for quite a few folk so we're spread thin! Also remember to communicate and be constructive if there's issues, or ask the CRs for help if needed- don't be rude or aggressive to others.

Hey guys woah its me the one and only Wipper in important announcements, so basically I'm just here to say I'm resigning from ET and from the Staff team for various reasons and wanted to let everyone know. Tomorrow I'm making my last day just to finish something up, and just wanted to say it was fun running events for those that got them and working on things. Thats all from me and take care :AmiyaDeskBang:



Stow — 3/20/2023 10:06 AM
Lore Questions is re-opened! We would like to use this announcement to put a few reminders from the team:

1) Please try to limit yourself to one question at a time, unless it's super urgent!

2) Please only ask questions that are relevant to your RP, rather than for the sake of just asking them!

3) If you're unsure if a question has been asked before, use the search function in the top right of discord! Simply do "in: ⁠❓┃lore-questions" and type out any keywords for your question to see if there is an answer!

4) If asking multiple questions, please send a different message for each question instead of one giant one! This makes it a lot easier for people searching old questions to get only relevant questions / answers.



Stow — 3/20/2023 4:29 PM
Hi everyone, we're sending out our form for Easter and Chocolate Texture suggestions! Please have your suggestions in by the end of the month if you would like them to be considered! (As a reminder, we are not obligated to make your suggestion into a texture!) https://forms.gle/R8MKZjc3k6hvQuZT9

Welcome welcome all the new people ! I have a small note:
A lot of people may appear to be be out of the main Toro Island,- that is because some are currently located on a Toro related island of Aquarelle! There is some funny rules in regards to it, and people may be back around more likee, this Sunday? If you were interested in seeing it, or joining it, you can find info here in ⁠toro-news
⁠toro-news⁠ - and feel free to ask around!
This is just a special sorta irregular optional event time - but not everybody is on the island! In additional a lot of us have alt characters who are still at good ol Toro island ♥

So if you're interested in RP, don't be scared if people are off land ~ we are all rather happy to introduce people to Toro properly with RP or help them out ♥



Skol — 4/1/2023 1:15 AM
As some of you have probably noticed, you've been stripped of your identity.

Welcome to the annual Toro Discord April Fools event! Have fun figuring out Who's who! I was contemplating on temporary stripping everyone's donor role to make things more difficult, but Rosy talked me out of it.



P.S. For you veteran members out there, I also swapped the places of general chat and toro topics. Love you xoxo



Stow — 4/1/2023 9:50 PM
Do you like acting out roles in a story? Or creating the exciting and mysterious builds you see during events? Or perhaps you want to even help write some of those events? Then come join ET!

We're very much looking for ET's of all roles at the moment, whether its acting, building, or coordinating. If interested, please contact a member of ET or an Admin! If you're concerned about a sudden shift, don't worry - we start all ET off as Helpers, as well as a trial "Mini ET" phase to see if the position is something they're interested in! If you'd like to give acting or DMing a try without having to fully apply, we'd be happy to help you set up a mini-event to try it out too!

A short description of each role:

Actors - ET Actors act out the roles given to them for an event! Actors tend to play a wide variety of character archetypes, and can fit into many scenarios: silly fun, serious combat, etc.! ET Actors do not need serious Pokemon battling experience, as many seasoned battlers are available to help them - nor are even required to do RP battles!

Builders - ET Builders craft the various landscapes and "dungeons" of Toro's world. Unlike non-staff builders, these builders will typically be more aware of event spoilers due to the nature of some builds. Building comes in a wide variety, whether its landscapes like islands or biomes, or evil lairs and structures for set pieces. (Note: If you'd like to help build, but not see anything on the spoiler side, inquire about Build Committee to an admin!)

Coordinators - ET Coordinators are those who write up the events primarily! While event crafting is not restricted to coordinators, these ET typically write up and plan the big major events and arcs of the server. This is a very spoiler heavy role for obvious reasons!

If you have any questions, please contact a member of ET or an Admin for further details!



Bedtime — 4/2/2023 12:04 AM
Hey ya'll. We're aware that some people might not want to report directly to the CR's.
This is completely fine! Sometimes some Issues are too much to share with your name attached
This is why we want to open the Toro Anonymous Issue Box, if you have any problems with Toro, please fill out the following and we'll do our best!
https://forms.gle/Uj9okRrJs5igYNNNA



Stow — 4/2/2023 12:27 AM
As a follow up to this:

Toro's Battle Committee is considering looking for new people to join our ranks! We are eyeing those with interest who have proven skill and knowledge of battling and Pokemon in general. Battle Committee involves deeper aspects to Pokemon than simply the battle aspect, as members are in charge of theorycrafting, doing calculations for various Pokemon to determine adjustments, etc. etc. If interested, speak to a GM!



Misha — 4/12/2023 10:44 PM
Hello everyone, I wanted to do a quick reminder about the Citizen Broadcasting Purchase Doctrine: https://www.toro-league.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4878

When writing up a radio broadcast (ex: news/politics/personal messages) for ⁠unknown, said broadcast must abide by the rules stated in this IC law! This is to ensure civility and rationality with characters speaking their opinions to the entire region. The post includes the criteria set for what can and cannot be broadcasted, as well as the fee that must be paid. If it does not, it will be subject to removal until it is done so. In order to prevent this, we recommend creating a ticket to have the broadcast approved first, as well as arrange payment! Please make sure to come forth with any questions that may arise!

Note: Putting out a quick advertisement like "X is opening / has a special today!" is totally fine, and just follows the "use common sense and assumed you paid a little bit of money in the background that's evened out by increased # of customers showing up in response" model that flyers do as well.

Vernon — 4/14/2023 6:27 PM
You spoke, we've heard!

Toro's server restart has been moved back an hour for Daylights Savings Time! We'll get it adjusted when DST ends, but from now on we'll keep it consistent at 4 Eastern!



Vernon — 4/15/2023 4:54 PM
Hey guys, this is long overdue, and I'm keeping this brief. This is also posted on the forums, however:

Due to the increase on my own workload both IRL and outside of Toro, I'm making a change to the current Student Records.

From this point onward, Students need only apply and wait when it comes to the OOC effort into schooling. To help with RP I'll still be replying in the application thread with your starting and ending dates and assigning dorms when requested, but keeping track of school performance and progress is no longer required to graduate.



Misha — 4/18/2023 2:06 AM
Hey players! We've got a new role & channel we want to announce-

Volunteer Actors are a new non-staff role we have! They are folk that are happy to help others by acting as NPCs in mini-events or personal roleplays! This is not a staff role and does not come with all the same permissions nor responsibilities. People have always been allowed to run Mini-Events, and they still can. This is just an extra helpful role to show you're interested, and open to DMing stuff for other people! Plus it comes with a channel to have a more direct point of access to ask staff things in regards to DMing, - Supervising - advice, and such, with less hassle of tickets.

If you're interested in becoming one, please look at the following thread for more info: viewtopic.php?t=5337

📄┃mini-requests is a new channel to ask for help with quick, minor things that either requires minimal effort, or don't even necessarily need to go through staff! Examples would be looking for an actor or help building for a mini-event. Some staff requests such as move tickets / shiny-fying can go on here as well!

Feel free to still use tickets if something is private, or be vague and offer additional info through DMs if anyone is interested. Tickets can still be used for larger projects or sensitive that requires proper planning too of course. If your Mini Request seems more fitting for a ticket, a staff member will just gently poke ya.

rosy — 4/20/2023 4:50 PM
⭐ Hello everybody! I would like to put out something that the Admins and Lore Team have been working on something for a little while, a proposal to increase, and set our technology to the 80s. It is describe more in depth here, but to quickly reassure, we won't be forcing anybody to have to change things up, or rp differently. This is just a change in setting that we'd like to hear the community's thoughts on. We will be creating a little faq for any questions we can answer!

We're going to close the poll at the end of the month, April 30th:
https://www.toro-league.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5338

In addition I'd like to share a few other things from feedback we've been listening to -

Toro's Roadmap: We've heard lots of feedback and have been working towards a lot these last few months especially, but we also realize the public can't really see behind the scenes. To promote more openness on future endeavors, we'll be working on creating a roadmap- along with a changelog to go along with it. We'll put another out announcement once this is ready!

Volunteer Actors: - Just reminding folks of this post so it isn't buried! We're always looking for people who are eager to run little events for people, but not so eager about the responsibilities of Staff!

Some Upcoming things: - Ranger Tickets// More Event Stuff obvs!! // Texture Pack soon // Mod Update SOON!! // Updating ⁠📖┃resources (( if you're interested in helping , or have some ideas for what, let us know :3c !! ))
Toro - 80s Technology Poll - Toro League



Misha — 4/20/2023 5:23 PM
Hello! I wanna just clarify some misunderstandings about the poll- the idea presented in the thread is to raise up the maximum technology cap to the 80s. This is opening up the potential and discussion for things to exist, not everything present in the 80s will exist in our setting! This is also a stopping point, so please do not vote expecting it to eventually move further to the 90s because of this. For this reason please take to account more than some specific thing you might want as it might not be implemented, and focus more on the concept moving forward Toro's setting as a whole.

With this being a possible significant change we want to get people's fully informed opinions, not just their first reaction. If you have any questions, feel free to share them in the form and we'll message you. If you wish to change it in the future you may do so until the poll closes, just let an Admin know. Thank you!



Bedtime — 4/26/2023 5:58 PM
Meowdy! Bedtime here with a short little announcement
⁠unknown is open! If you have any questions at all about Mythicals feel free to put them in there! No matter how dumb/obvious you might think they are; sometimes things change and the answer might not be what you expect!
Now; I'll only be answering purely OOC questions, so stuff like acquisition methods or the like will not be answered.
That said, please follow the ⁠❓┃lore-questions format of question and answer, keep comments to an absolute minimum!!!!



Jhin — 4/27/2023 10:40 PM
Howdy Toroans! We've refined and added new rules to the gyms. They can be found over in ⁠unknown. We want to put one of them in here due how big it is-

After some discussion, both the gym leaders and battle committee have decided to split up our gym circuit into segments. Instead of allowing gyms to be challenged in any order (minus the Adamas Gym), this new rule will mean that challengers must now collect all badges from their current and previous segments of the circuit in order to advance onto the next one.

In order they are:
Segment 1: Aurelia Gym
Segment 2: Viridis Gym, Cobalt Gym, Ferrite Gym
Segment 3: Carmine Gym, Tyrian Gym, Galena Gym
Final Segment: Adamas Gym

This change is effective regardless of what level of gym battle you choose to take on. For example, you may not challenge the Carmine Gym until you have collected badges from Segments 1 & 2, even if you plan on challenging gyms at level 100. We believe that this change will hopefully make our playerbase feel less pressured to race their team to level 100 as quick as possible, and will hopefully provide a more natural progression for not only their team, but their progression as a character as well.

If you wish to have your character skip a gym for IC/RP reasons, we invite you to make a ticket with your reasoning so that the gym leaders and battle committee can discuss it. Please note that reasons such as "I think this gym is too hard and I wish to do later" will be swiftly rejected. Additionally, anyone who already has planned battles that would break this rule do not have to cancel any battles, and only have to follow it for battles afterwards.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, we encourage anyone and everyone to speak up and make their voice heard!



Skol — 4/28/2023 1:53 PM
Hello!

I'm here to inform you all that we are now accepting emoji requests in our lovely ⁠unknown! As stated in the thread, we have quite a lot of open slots available for emojis (both regular and animated) so, we're in the market to add more!

So, be sure to pop on by the thread if you've got anything you think would be be fitting for Toro!

ALSO! We do have some slots open for stickers too



Stow — 4/30/2023 1:29 PM
As a small heads up, we are closing the 80's proposal at the end of the day! This is the last chance you have to put your opinion or change it if you would like to contribute!

Please read through what both Rosy and Misha said carefully in their above announcements, and consider the implications! It's not just a technology increase, it'd be an entire change to the setting! Furthermore, it's opening up the potential for things to exist, not an automatic guarantee that they will - many things likely still won't be! Also please refrain from putting any sort of "meme" answers or anything requesting us to go further (ex: the 90s) as that will not be happening. If you are having trouble with putting an opinion or changing it, please contact a GM or Lore Team member!

Stow — 5/2/2023 1:04 PM
Hello @everyone ! Apologies for the ping, however I feel it's important enough to where it's warranted. The long awaited finale of the Order of 1000 Arms arc is coming up, and we have dates for it! Yes, dates - this will be a three part event, happening on June 23rd, 24th, and 25th. That's about two months away, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew to schedule ahead of time as I want as many people to come to this as possible! There are a few things I'd like to address regarding this, though:

1) This will be a multi-day event, something we haven't done in a long time. That being said, you might be wondering what to do in between the events in terms of RP. To put it simply, at the time of writing this announcement, subject to change, each event will flow seamlessly into the next days event with no real "gap" time-wise. Therefore - any RP that happens on the three days of the event outside of the event would have to be backdated. Essentially, if you join the event, you're committing to it. If you want your character to leave, they cannot rejoin at the next days part. Please keep this in mind.

2) As you might have expected, character death is enabled on all three days. This is a scary announcement to some, I get it. Which is why I want to say to not be afraid to come to the event because this will be on! It's simply a reminder to make smart choices - ET is not out to kill you! Many event-goers will attest to the fact that we have even been a bit lenient with this in the past. That being said - the weight of this choice will still be in effect, so don't take it lightly. Rather, do not be afraid of attending this event due to the fear you may lose your character. I want as many people to attend as possible if they can!

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to put in an ET ticket. I hope to see you all on June 23rd, 24th, and 25th (time pending)!

https://forms.gle/XMhU52dLWLTetJRF6 Pride Texture form! We're limiting it to one suggestion per player to give texture team a bit of a break, but feel free to discuss in Toro Topics as well!



Stow — 6/15/2023 11:43 PM
Howdy folks, quick but important announcement! As Lore Team is putting its primary focus on perfecting the Order of 1000 Arms finale, we've decided to request that lore questions are limited to things that you plan on using during the finale. So if you have any questions about certain moves or combinations or strategies that you plan to use, that's fine, just refrain from any "general" ones until it ends. As the finale progresses, we'll also allow questions regarding it as they arise!



Vernon — 6/18/2023 3:18 PM
I'm going to be replacing the old Pory Bot user's messages with the new Pory Bot in ⁠💝rules-and-resources💝 over the course of the next hour or so so please uh-

Whoops I'm sorry if it pings you 😄



Vernon — 6/18/2023 3:27 PM
Alright the above is over.



Vernon — 6/22/2023 1:33 AM
Hey everybody. I'm going to be working towards updating the server and the Technic to the newest version of Toroblocks and Pixelmon in roughly 2 years ago at 3:30 AM. No ping, but just letting people know that during this time the server might go down a time or two while I do. I'll post links to the new downloads once they're available.



Vernon — 6/22/2023 4:45 AM
Alright GANG! I am currently updating the Technic. AS ALWAYS

BACKUP YOUR CONFIGS AND YOUR MPM BEFORE LAUNCHING IT! Otherwise you're going to lose it all!

For those not using the technic, here's a link to Pixelmon and the new Toroblocks, as well as associated files that need to be updated. :

https://reforged.gg/

This is just designed to make it easier on you for updating.
Sever is also now live with the update.



Vernon — 6/22/2023 6:15 AM
Woah Toro Update. I'm not fancy and pretty like Rosy. The Technic is updated now. Have fun.

⚠️ ❗TECHNIC USERS PLEASE BACK UP YOUR SETTINGS BEFORE UPDATING! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PRESETS AND EVERYTHING OTHERWISE! ⚠️ - Check the Install Guide to see how!



Misha — 6/22/2023 11:19 PM
Hello players! With the big finale coming up, we are going to repost this etiquette guide. I'll ask that you read both the posts here because having inappropriate or disruptive behavior during the finale events will not be tolerated. Treat the advice here as rules.

viewtopic.php?t=4481

Familiarize yourself with the info in this guide, because not knowing it won't be a good excuse for bad etiquette. We'll try to be kind, but you will get you kicked out of the event if you cause issues.

Don't be rude, don't give our ET attitude, and don't be passive aggressive. Remember they're volunteers allowing you to participate in the story they've made. If you don't like it that's fine, you're free to leave the event. Don't ruin it for others though or make it hard on the staff.
★ Event (and RP) Etiquette - And why it's important! - Toro League



Stow — 6/24/2023 5:29 PM
Howdy folks! We have an overlay pack for tonight - please make sure you ge this in! It's super important for tonight!

NOTE: This is an overlay pack, so it goes at the top over all over packs!



Misha — 6/24/2023 8:09 PM
In addition to the event etiquette posted above, here's some extra reminders-
• Keep OOC chatter to a minimum in the chat. It's fine to ask questions/point stuff related to RP if needed but hold back on unneeded comments and such.
• When responding, only include information other characters can see and respond to.
We have nearly 30 people on and it can already be hard enough to keep up with stuff! Thank you!



Misha — 6/25/2023 1:44 PM
I want to really re-clarify the second point by posting this bit from the event guide:
Keep your emotes clean. Don't muddy it up too much with unnecessary info. Characters and DMs cannot ICly act on information your character is thinking, I'm going to ask you hold back on comments like:
Billybob Jr. growls to himself. He knew that Handsome James was lying to him, but he couldn't prove it. As he stared into Handsome James' face, he thought about how much he TRULY despised Handsome James...
Functionally, all the emote that can be replied to by the Handsome James RPer would just be the first sentence. The growl. The rest was useless filler, and served very little. Not to say you shouldn't put effort into making your emotes detailed, but make sure every word is important to the overall emote.

To make it easier on everyone, avoid including filler that cannot be responded to. Thoughts, feelings, or anything that cannot be scene. If you want to- write it privately for yourself in a doc if you'd like and share it later, or do it in the /whisper or /close channels. Do not include this filler during this finale when in shout or talk. You will receive a warning if you do this, especially if it's during any battles.



Stow — 6/26/2023 12:52 AM
And so... Celestica, and Ozymandias were no more. The Elder Dragons vanished to their own realms, and the gleaming city fell beneath the waves. Lives were lost, people hurt... but the day was won. The Prophet's plan to destroy Arceus was foiled, and the world is able to move forward to a new era - though not the one the Order envisioned. The sun rises on a new day, as the world moves forward from the past.

-------------------------

Thank you for coming to this finale! Two notes - we will be opening up the builds for the finale (as well as the Order Warship) to explore OOCly! Also - the Lore Item will be given in a few days. Please be patient, we'll make an announcement when they're out!



Stow — 6/26/2023 10:36 PM
Hey folks, quick thing! We now have a new Memory Lane section that you can access at Spawn! This is a showcase of builds that you can't normally stumble upon in Toro. While it currently only has builds from the previous Order Finales (the Warship, the Timespace Projector, and Celestica), it will be updated in the future for any more event builds that are outside the region with new events! Please note that this area is strictly OOC, and cannot be accessed by your characters in any IC fashion.



Misha — 6/29/2023 11:15 PM
Howdy players, we've got updates for Business Owners!

Starting July 2nd, rent for businesses will now be paid directly to the town automatically, rather than done manually - this means your paychecks as players will exclusively be your profits! For mixed home/business buildings, you will still have to manually pay for the housing space. This decision was made to help with the backend. From now on, whether you keep your business will be based on the mayor, who will keep in mind player activity, business activity, rp value- and whatever other values they choose! Note: This change does not erase past debt, you will need to pay those or risk eviction.

With these changes, we'll also be updating the way we calculate the profits of various businesses to be more in line with this. Afterwards the admins will take a closer look over all the paychecks. When this time comes we may make a private ticket for you to discuss your business' profits- don't worry if this happens, you won't be in trouble! It's just to keep Admin stuff out of DMs. Anyway, hope to see some cute business stuff soon! :fingergunsb:

Hey ya'll !
LoreTime here. :)
Just putting out a small little announcement that yeah I'll be helping out Lore Team.


Battle Committee — 8/6/2023 11:25 PM
Hello Everyone, BC Team here!

Today, BC is moving forward with 2 adjustments for some problematic pokemon. First, a TL;DR:
Pheromosa is losing 10 stat points to both its Physical and Special attack, giving it the following BST:
HP: 71
ATK: 127 (Originally 137)
DEF: 37
SP.ATK: 127 (Originally 137)
SP.DEF: 37
SPEED: 151
Total: 550

Both Urshifu Single Strike and Rapid Strike are losing 10 stat points from their ATK, taking them both to the following BST:
HP: 100
ATK: 120 (Originally 130)
DEF: 100
SP.ATK: 63
SP.DEF: 60
SPEED: 97
Total: 540

Why are we adjusting Pheromosa? Simply because of No Guard. No Guard Pheromosa has been allowed to run multiple sets, and break through teams not prepared for it. Even teams prepared for it struggle, as it is impossible to know what Pheromosa you are fighting. We hope with these nerfs, that Pheromosa's wallbreaking and Sweeping power is tapped down to similar pokemon, but we will be keeping an eye on it just in case.

Why are we adjusting Urshifu? Urshifu has been a menace in competitive pokemon formats, and without the usual counters to it, Urshifu appears to be able to run through most teams on the server. While this is pre-emptive, we hope this lands Urshifu in a powerful yet stoppable spot, and we will be monitoring Urshifu incase we overdid the adjustments.

That is all from us today, please feel free to contact anyone apart of the Battle Committee if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!


Toro League — 8/11/2023 7:19 PM
Howdy Toro Chefs! The prices of the food in grocers have been lowered a little bit to be more affordable and a few more food items have been added. This should be in effect as of now, if any shops don't seem to be updated let us in #tech-support

Price Changes: http://tiny.cc/torofood2023

If there's any major ingredient/crop/etc. you think should be added, let us know and it'll be considered!

Other minor shop changes: 1. The sell prices of eggs have been lowered to 10 to max the new purchase price of 15 | 2. Revive prices have been corrected to 500p, they were previously 1.5k which was an error.


rosy — 8/17/2023 10:15 AM
Yo if any of you need any textures in, it have bugs that need to be fixed for the texture pack, or anything we forgot let us know! Donators can bump their ticket and ping me, and additional things can go into ⁠❔┃help-desk so it won't be missed ♥️


Battle Committee — 8/18/2023 11:43 PM
Hey folks, Battle Committee with some more Pokemon changes (don't kill us). Today we're announcing two changes - Deoxys and Magearna.

Deoxys is actually getting a bit of a buff in some areas - we've gotten feedback that it's felt just very underwhelming compared to other Mythicals and we agree. It's BST was a bit inconsistent across forms, some being more heavily nerfed than others, so we've adjusted to make it feel more powerful to use while also not bringing it to an absurdly broken state. Here are the new stats going forward, reduced from the original BST:

Deoxys Base: -20 to each Offensive Stat, going from 150 to 130 (Unchanged)
Deoxys ATK: -20 to each Offensive bast stat, going from 180 to 160
Deoxys Speed: -20 to each Defensive Stat, going from 90 to 70
Deoxys Defense: -10 to each offensive stat, going down to 60 in each, -20 Speed, taking it down to 70 Speed

The next change is to Magearna. Magearna is a Pokemon that is insanely strong for Toro - with a Steel/Fairy typing, great balanced 600 BST, varied movepool for a variety of movesets, and of course its amazing ability in Soul-Heart. This, alongside plans to make Doubles more popular as a battling style in the future, meant we wanted to go in and adjust this Pokemon:

-15 SP.ATK, taking it down to 115 SP.ATK
-15 to both Defensive Stats, taking it down to 100 in each

These stats are designed to make the Pokemon much more easy to counter and not get completely swept by, while not completely stripping it of its power! With both of these changes, we'll be of course looking for feedback and be making adjustments as necessary. If you have any questions, feel free to make a ticket!


Battle Committee឵ — 8/20/2023 12:31 PM
Hello everybody! Battle Committee is here to say that testing is going to be started for possible future changes to how leveling will work. Now, to be extremely clear: nothing is changing for the time being for most players.

However: if you're playing a child character (a "bab") - a character between the ages of 5 and 12 - who is not in the Toro Next-Gen Coordination Discord, then please reach out to us! We are going to be conducting a large-scale closed test of the new system using the babs as our sample group, in order to test how the system works in practice. In order for it to work, though, we need as many babs as possible to be informed about what's going on and participating (and giving feedback throughout the course of the test).

This test will likely span at least an OOC year, as it pertains to long-term changes that aim to provide more RP options for trainers and more immersion to the world of Toro. Please be patient about updates regarding this. If you are not participating in this, then there's only one thing we ask of you: do not take advantage of this system test to taunt others OOC or ICly. The new leveling system may give the appearance of the new trainers being "weaker" or "less skilled". Do not turn that into an IC jab at the character's skill. This is an OOC change to an IC aspect of the world to bring OOC and IC more in line with each other. A character's skill at training Pokemon has the exact same range of "prodigy" to "hopeless" as they would before the test started.


Misha — 8/20/2023 3:47 PM
Howdy y'all- the open a ticket channel will be momentarily hidden as I update our system! Hold on tight for a lil bit- hopefully shouldn't be long :salute:


Misha — 8/20/2023 6:53 PM
Sorry for the downtime, it's back! Thank you for your patience :kibolove:
If there's issues with it open a tech ticket and ping me!


kc — 8/26/2023 12:49 AM
One evening in May a brand new forums opened up, and a post was made: "What is Toro League you ask? It's a Minecraft-Pokemon server with an emphasis on roleplay. Players create their own character who can find work, buy a house, fight gyms, and more! But before all of that, there's still a lot of work to be done!"... It was opened by Peach, the face of the server, and Griffith who made the original forums, logo, and various art used for the server. But as Peach stated there was work to be done, thus the server opened it's doors for a two day alpha in July with twenty four players whitelisted. (To date Toro League's whitelist currently has 1,232 names whitelisted!) Next came a Beta, which was supposed to run from August 4th to the 10th with the official release on the 11th. At the start, there was not much to the humble server! It only ran with Pixelmon and for a little while Custom NPCs as well as fifteen plugins. (Currently we run our server with a combined total of 92 mods/plugins!) But not everything ran smoothly to start, the server had issues running with just twenty players on it. Not to mention there was numerous rollbacks that caused issues for the server as well. So thus the beta was extended but at the same time the building blocks for Toro's staff was laid-down. Despite all the rollbacks things still going forward for the little community. So soon Peach finally announces that the server will leave beta on August 17th. The date...? August 24th, 2013 of course!

That was ten years ago (and two days) and much more has happened during that timespan... more than I could ever try to dream of typing up into a post for you all to read. We've had countless people come and go within our tightknit community events galore, and I am sure millions of line of roleplay that have been read! But none of this, even from day one, couldn't be done with out you - our community. The only reason why we are still here ten years late (and two more days after that) is because a bunch of people just love roleplaying in a setting that was nurtured and carefully created over the years. The world of Toro is not only alive with the Pixelmon that inhabit it, but also the people. Each of the region's eight cities having their own rich history of growth and citizens who dwelled within them. The server when it started didn't live up to it's name: Toro League. The region only became an "official" league with it's own Elite Four on June 8th, 2019 when Victory Road opened up. But now we've had a handful of players who went through the eight gyms, victory road, elite four, and claimed the title of Champion.

It has been a long journey for the server to get to the point in which it stands, but it's not over yet. With no foreseeable end in sight - Toro could easily run for another ten years (and two days). For starters, Toro will be moving forward into a new era with the end of The Order that occurred a few months ago. Not to mention the Festival of Lights is going on right now, what will blossom during this month long event? But alas, all that depends on you: the community. We only create the environment and the lore, it's all of you that help tell the story of the Toro region. You are the ones who create the characters and shape the breathing and living world in which we roleplay in. So where will you take us next?

Thank you all for ten years of Toro League: A Pixelmon Roleplay Server! Be sure to share you favorite roleplays, screenshots, and more within ⁠🌙┃10th-anniversary

Discord now allows renaming links through Markdown. It's possible to make a link look like it redirects somewhere completly different, like so:
This goes to Google: https://www.google.com/
This goes to Bing: www.google.com

Please be careful when clicking links.You can preview where a link is going by the window that opens when you click it, or you can hover over a link (or on mobile, long press). If it has been renamed, it'll show the real url.

:warning: If a window says "Abusive website ahead", don't ignore it! :warning: Take a step back and check if you're really going where you want to.

There are many scams on discord, the most common being "one friend DMs you asking you to test their video game" and "random discord invites to servers that are totally full of hot women in your area". Please be careful; if your account is compromised, we may remove your account from our discord to protect other players.

Be safe, and be smart everyone!

Last call for textures or any related stuff tonight :3c~2: ♥


Vernon — 9/12/2023 9:50 AM
Hey gang, today is THE day Scarlet and Violet 's DLC drops, and the I figured we'd go over this one last time:

There are three special parts to the server. There's the two text channels ⁠🍊🍇┃pokemon-scarlet-and-violet and ⁠🍊scarlet-violet-vc-text🍇 as well as a voice chat channel ⁠🍊 Scarlet/Violet 🍇 nestled into the list of voice channels to go with them. To access these, you need to run the command <joinspoilers in ⁠bot-command-center . (TO JOIN THE VC, YOU NEED TO HAVE THE VC ROLE! <joinvc in ⁠bot-command-center.)

These channels are for streaming, posting live updates, and so on. If we catch you doing this outside these channels, we're gonna get a little steamy :DtSmug:

And of course, if you start worrying you're falling behind and going to get spoiled, you can always do <leavespoilers in the ⁠bot-command-center to leave the group and revoke your access to these channels.

Thank y'all, have fun!

Additively: We say this every time a new Pokemon Game drops but:

One: It's the ever familiar drill: Do not refer to any lore in Scarlet and Violet's DLC for a period of time until Lore Team has had time to work with it. We will make an announcement when this lifts and release a statement about lore changes. You are not allowed to make references IC or OOC on server or in RP as both are infractions to this ban and we'll probably end up retconning your RP.

Two: Stay off Bulbapedia if you're avoiding spoilers, there's a lot of spoilers on there, or rather there will be once the games drop. Serebii is probably not safe either, as well as Twitter, and be careful on places like Youtube too and other Discord servers.


Vernon — 9/12/2023 11:34 AM
Alright GANG! I have updated the Technic. AS ALWAYS:

For those not using the technic, here's a link to the new ToroBlocks, as well as associated files that need to be updated:
Or if you want, you can just download the technic update raw
This is just designed to make it easier on you for updating.

⚠️ ❗TECHNIC USERS PLEASE BACK UP YOUR SETTINGS BEFORE UPDATING! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PRESETS AND EVERYTHING OTHERWISE! ⚠️ - Check the Install Guide to see how!

AND PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE RESOURCE PACK IF YOU'RE NOT USING TECHNIC!
The server will update when it restarts a year ago. You do not have to update your files until that restart happens, but you may do so before the update and be able to log in just fine. So if you want to update now, you can, if you want to wait, also fine.


rosy — 9/13/2023 2:23 PM
Poked the Technic Pack for the people having problems downloading it!
Please don't update again if it's already working for you, there's no new fixes !!!

Also if anybody needs help moving their technic files into the normal minecraft launcher, or if there's any issues let us know in ⁠❔┃help-desk , we're happy to help!

LoreTime here with one of your favorite announcements!
To keep it brief and short, the introduction of Celesteela today was a big hit!
But for those wanting one, we have two big important things to share!
The first, that the process to grow a Celesteela is now open! Please pop open a PRI ticket over in ⁠💌┃open-a-ticket to discuss the details there.
And second, you might have noticed we said 'the process to grow' - this is intentional.
Celesteela will indeed require a long and arduous process to grow. Much like other Pokemon that require a process to obtain, this means acquiring a Celesteela will take up one of your Mythical Slots


Battle Committee — 9/20/2023 4:16 PM
A quick rule change to any tickets regaridng battling (such as Event Trainer Battles, E4 Battles, etc) - when pinging a specific person for a battle in a ticket, please wait 48 hours before the next ping. This isn't directed towards anyone in specific, rather just a general update for the future.


Battle Committee឵ — 9/22/2023 12:31 PM
Hello everyone! BC team here with a quick notice about a bugged move!

It has been brought to our attention that the move Beat Up is bugged, causing all hits of the move to miss. This is most likely a bug on Pixelmon's end, so we advise heavily to not attempt to use it in any mechanical battles!


Toro League — 9/26/2023 7:48 PM
Y'all, let's not do this. [Leave a statue saying 'Delete us please']. If something like this happens, please place a request in ⁠📄┃mini-requests because doing this bloats the server with statues and they could go unnoticed for a long time. Especially when you make them tiny models that are hard to spot! I get the intent, I totally do- and I get sometimes its frustrating when chisels won't go away when you're in certain areas!

Hey so I just learned that a lot of people do not know this command exists:

you can use /hatch <slotnumber> to hatch an egg in your party instantly. It has a cooldown, but it will hatch eggs faster than a single ranch block will produce them- so yeah!

We'll be making sure this is added to the New Player Guide soon, but figured we'd let y'all know now!

Hello everyone,

I'm here with a rather important announcement from App Team that will likely impact everyone in one regard or another: As of now, we are requiring Character Profiles that use artwork to credit the artist of said artwork. We feel that this is only fair to the artists, as we continue to strive to be an artist-friendly community.
If you created your own art or used a dollmaker, then you may simply credit yourself, or the dollmaker (or the creator of said dollmaker) instead!
If you use a toyhouse and you've credited the arist on the toyhouse itself (And have linked to it on your character profile), then that'll work as well!

Finally, while I still hopefully have your attention; I would like to also announce that our current project is working on creating and implementing a rule for AI writing for both Character Profiles and Whitelist Applications. While I can assure you that it won't be a complete crackdown, we do aim to be more vigilant regarding it and will start checking submissions for AI Writing. I do want to clarify and note that our target isn't people who use AI to help organize their thoughts or help get their own words on paper, but rather those who just simply let an AI write the whole thing for them or simply blatantly use it on Whitelist apps.
We're still working on the finer details, but we hope to be able to publish an official rule soon!

Thank you for your time, and if you have any questions or concerns, my DMs will always be open to the lovely folks of Toro!


Battle Committee — 10/5/2023 2:56 AM
Hey all, quick announcement. We're re-wording/moving a previous rule that will apply to any official League battle (Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Champion):

If you want to avoid battling a certain opponent it must be have IC justification or suitable OOC reasons. It cannot be for battle meta (ex: wanting to fight an "easier" team), or empty reasons (ex: you just "want to"). Suitable OOC justification is scheduling conflicts making it impossible, personal OOC drama, or other unlisted reasons. If these problems come up please contact the Mayor for an alternative, the CRs, or an Admin if necessary.

This was a rule most known for the champion battle, but we wanted to clarify that it applies to any official League battle now. If you have any questions, feel free to make a BC ticket.


Toro League — 10/12/2023 3:09 PM
Good Afternoon gang. It's been a while since the Scarlet and Violet DLC released! We just wanted to let people know the Spoiler Ban is lifting!

REMEMBER- NO LEAK DISCUSSIONS! All of that stays in the various spoiler channels! But now, for example, you can discuss best girl :3

This is only in the discord to note. Please avoid referring to Kitakami related things in RP until Lore Team makes an announcement where that's ok.

Spirit textures! To be used with the rare Candy Licorice item!
There will be a image guide soon, but this is Pixelmon's native Spirit textures ( the purple & black ) but redone in our style, with some more additions!

Hello everyone, Battle committee here with a promising change not only for battling but for RP in general!

Battle Committee has been talking it over for a while and testing out some scenarios and we've come to mostly agree that some pokemon are in need of a helping hand. Specifically, Hisuian Pokemon.

Now, as you might be aware, Pixelmon was not kind to Hisuian Pokémon, their learnset is the one they have in their original game (being Legends: Arceus) thus meaning that the amount and quality of moves they can learn is very very limited, some not even having the proper tools to adequately deal with situations they should have no right struggling against.

So, with this stated; Hisuian Pokémon will be allowed their generation 9 learnset, we will also be working to add what abilities we can add to them, thought this is only for abilities and moves that already exist in Pixelmon so sadly no Sharpness or Hisuian Signature moves.

An important note is that this only and exclusively applies to Hisuian Pokémon, we will not be giving any other Pokémon their generation 9 learnset; this was a decision made because quite a few members of the community have expressed their dissatisfaction with how limited Hisuian learnsets are; this is not an open invitation for anyone to ask Battle Committee or anyone else for a specific Pokémon to have their learnset updated, this is a once-only exception we are making for the sake of allowing Hisuian Pokémon to be more viable in both battles and roleplay and not be limited to a very narrow movepool.


Battle Committee — 11/8/2023 1:54 AM
Hey everyone, battle committee here with a quick warning about something!

Triple Axel appears to be bugged on pixelmon at the moment! It is not hitting at all, even with the ability No Guard or the move Mind Reader being used. We are putting an announcement out to let you all know to not use Triple Axel in mechanical pixelmon battles.

Have a good night everyone!


Bedtime — 11/15/2023 1:53 PM
Heya, Bedtime here with the latest news from staff!
We’ve heard and seen reports of wild mega boss pokemon spawning. These should not be appearing in the wild.

If you see one, make sure to ignore it and tell a staff member so they can delete it, as they go against quite a bit of lore behind mega pokemon, and them dropping mega stones should not be something that can be acquired this way.

If you wish to obtain a mega stone for your pokemon, feel free to fill out this form [ https://forms.gle/mBz8uftY7V1j4TQv5 ] or make an ET ticket about the process to acquire the mega stone and keystone!

I found two unmarked statues in Ferrite, please- if you cannot remove a statue somewhere, note it in ⁠📄┃mini-requests for help. Do not leave statues around.

Hey everyone, Lore Bedtime here with a short but nonetheless pertinent announcement.
Lore Question is to be used for serious questions only, if something is posted that is not pertinent to RP or in a very 'joking' manner, we will give out due punishments to those that post the improper questions.


Bedtime — 11/23/2023 12:43 AM
Hey ya'll, Bedtime here with a reminder of a very cool area in Toro that deserves more love!
Do /spawn and look for Memory Lane, where you can visit or revisit the big builds of the Order Arc!

Happy Turkey Day in the states.

It's customary for us to give thanks on today, and I wanted to be sappy n gross and say I'm thankful for each and every member of Toro with us today. It's been a hell of a wild ride to reach 10 years on Toro and we couldn't do it without y'all!

:emolgaparty:


Stow — 11/24/2023 7:31 PM
With Thanksgiving wrapping up, that means two things: one, you're legally allowed to change your Thanksgiving names to Holiday ones (I know who you are). Two - it's time for our yearly OOC Secret Santa!

What is Secret Santa?
Secret Santa is a gift-giving activity where you'll be given someone to give a gift to - but you're not supposed to say who to anyone! Likewise, a secret someone will be giving you a gift!

How do I participate?
Fill out this form: https://forms.gle/5WFaQP27YBosvijn8
If you want to join, sign up as soon as possible! Sign-ups close December 1st, when assignments for the Secret Santa are given out. Gift giving will happen on December 25th - but it can be a little earlier or later, depending on circumstances!

Is there a limit to how expensive the gift is? And what if I'm broke?
The price limit on gifts this year will be $30! Thsi doesn't mean you have to get them something worth that much - it could be lesser, or you could even make them something (such as drawing an art piece, as an example)! If you wanna enter but you're a bit broke, feel free to poke me and we can work something out.

For any further questions, please reach out! An announcement will be made when assignments are made, as well as some suggestions/options for gifts to give!


Vernon — 11/28/2023 8:40 PM
:emolgaparty: A brief announcement but please welcome @Jhin as our newest member of Event Team! :partywobbuffet:


Bedtime — 11/28/2023 8:44 PM
Or don't, we're not your mom


Stow — 12/1/2023 1:21 AM
Hey as a heads up, sign-ups close today! I will be working to get those gift assignments out ASAP, but they may be tomorrow due to a packed schedule. If you want to enter, get them in by 11:59PM EST!


Stow — 12/3/2023 12:54 AM
Secret Santa announcements are out! If you entered, but didn't get a DM from myself or Misha, please let one of us know.


rosy — 12/7/2023 4:54 AM
🛠️ The server is back up from maintenance! You can play normally!

Everything should be fine, especially your Pokemon / Inventory! But if anything got rolled back, like economy, or anything from the 6th - please let us know! Make a Tech Ticket, so we can more easily see it, thank you!


rosy — 12/8/2023 9:12 PM
While we have you all pinged!

Hello all, our annual 'Kibomas - Locked In' winter event is here! You can read about it here:
⁠toro-news⁠
But it is a great way to meet other people naturally in RP and make friends!

Secondly: If you have any textures needed, or to be fixed, or checked on, let us know!

Lastly, if you haven't seen it already, check out ⁠giveaway-center !

Expect to see our event tabs in the top left to fill up with a bunch of events soon though! Happy holidays!


Skol — 12/13/2023 1:50 AM
Hello everyone, Its like, 1:30 am so obviously I'm not about to ping everyone for this but! I've come bearing an important announcement from App team; After much discussion, we have decided the following:

Effective immediatly, our new minimum age requirement is now 18+.
What does exactly entail? Well thankfully, nothing much! Toro as a server and a community will be remaining the same in terms of allowed content; NSFW content and sexually explicit material will still very much be a big no-no. We still very much aim to keep things friendly and clean around here! What IS changing, however, is that we just simply bumped up our minimum age of entry up by 2 years to 18, and that's pretty much the long and short of it.

What does this mean if I'm currently under the age of 18? You may be asking. And the answer is sublimely simple: Those who have already been accepted via whitelist application will be grandfathered in - we have no intentions of removing anyone or throwing anyone out.

If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to open a staff ticket so that we may address you on a more personal level, as we can no doubt understand that an announcement such as this one may have a few folks worried, and we'd like to mimize that as much as possible.


Vernon — 12/13/2023 2:40 PM
Hey gang, today is THE day (or the day before, who cares? I copy pasted this) Scarlet and Violet 's DLC drops, and the I figured we'd go over this one last time:

There are three special parts to the server. There's the two text channels ⁠🍊🍇┃pokemon-scarlet-and-violet and ⁠🍊scarlet-violet-vc-text🍇 as well as a voice chat channel ⁠🍊 Scarlet/Violet 🍇 nestled into the list of voice channels to go with them. To access these, you need to run the command <joinspoilers in ⁠bot-command-center . (TO JOIN THE VC, YOU NEED TO HAVE THE VC ROLE! <joinvc in ⁠bot-command-center.)

These channels are for streaming, posting live updates, and so on. If we catch you doing this outside these channels, we're gonna get a little heated :DtSmug:

And of course, if you start worrying you're falling behind and going to get spoiled, you can always do <leavespoilers in the ⁠bot-command-center to leave the group and revoke your access to these channels.

Thank y'all, have fun!

Additively: We say this every time a new Pokemon Game drops but:

One: It's the ever familiar drill: Do not refer to any lore in Scarlet and Violet's DLC for a period of time until Lore Team has had time to work with it. We will make an announcement when this lifts and release a statement about lore changes. You are not allowed to make references IC or OOC on server or in RP as both are infractions to this ban and we'll probably end up retconning your RP.

Two: Stay off Bulbapedia if you're avoiding spoilers, there's a lot of spoilers on there, or rather there will be once the games drop. Serebii is probably not safe either, as well as Twitter, and be careful on places like Youtube too and other Discord servers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TORO 💥 🎉 🎆 LETS MAKE 2024 A GOOD ONE



rosy — 1/1/2024 10:29 PM
https://i.imgur.com/EPIYade.png
🎊 Happy New Years everyone!!
It's a new decade of Toro, and we're so pleased and excited for this new year! There's a few different things I want to talk about, to inform people about what we're working on:

The New Arc!
With Holidays out of the way, we're going fullly ahead with our New Arc! We're really taking in feedback and wish to try something more:

This Arc is will also consist of various different stories for Toroans to follow and paricipate in. This means you probably will not be involved with every aspect & story of it, but that you hopefully will feel more important in what you are involved in.

We want this arc to be shaped and molded by Toroan's actions, to feel like they can change the course. But for that to happen, people need to initiate and pursue things! So the best way to do this is to make a ET Ticket, and communicate to us what you want to do. ♥

Speaking of Events & ET though, with our two new ET doing great things-, we are ready to train new ones! If you are interested in becoming ET, or would like to dip your toes into event running, we suggest checking out our Volunteer Actors App and our ET Applications !
Following off of that, we have many plans with the fourms! KC has already started cleaning & archiving some junk, but in addition we'd like to start fully archiving things on the fourms! Along with generally updating our resources.

If you want to help out, or just point us to where you'd like to see updated, please let us know!

With that out of the way, there's a few other quick points of stuff in the works:
80s ! ! !
New Toroans
New Mythicals!
New Paraspace!
! New Town Redesigns!
New Event Scheduling Bot!
More stuff :3 Keep an eye out!
I am so happy to meet so many of you, and befriend you all - RP with so many new or returning faces! I am so excited to show you all we have, including stuff we haven't outlined here ♥ I am so grateful to all of our staff, and players. I can't wait to see what this new decade brings ♥



Skol — 1/8/2024 2:11 AM
Bah humbug! The Holidays have come and gone, and now we're back to being normal (for now)

Also the introduction channel has been archived :Bye:

Thanks for tuning into today's Toro Patch Notes!

New to the Battle Tower is the Hidden Power switcher! We've pulled the stats from this post specifically: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/98 ... n/58772271 - using the first ones. So please feel free to make a mini-request if you need a specific spread ( near Max IV! ) .

But otherwise, hopefully this saves everybody a lot of work!




Bedtime — 1/15/2024 9:33 PM
Hey all! Scott Bedtime here! On a topic fresh from Battle Committee to you!

This is something that the Elite Four employs quite naturally, so we are looking to bring it to tournaments and gyms to have it all be the same from the start to the end, it's a niche thing though; and that's How to start battles!

For most battles, the battle starts as two trainers throw out their pokemon and hit start battle from the screen that appears when the two collide; however, from there it's been pretty vague as to the rules! So I'm here to clarify it! If the trainer and gym leader / Elite Four Member employs this method, then Both parties must use the pokemon that was sent out to initiate the battle, we are solidifying this rule as it's always been a sort of 'well it's not really listed on the rules so....' dilemma.

Now, there is one exception to this rule; but don't worry it's not anything big! If you plan on starting with a Zoroark or Zorua (either form, doesn't matter) then you are allowed to send out the pokemon that it would be disguised as! For those not sure what pokemon that is, it will always be the one in your last slot!

This all seems like a lot of rules right? Don't worry, we have a solution!
If you wish to start a battle without any of the above-mentioned stuff, then may I introduce (or re-introduce) to you the /pokebattle command!! This handy dandy tool lets you start a fight with another with just a swift command! The format goes like this: /pokebattle [user1] [user2] Where the two users are the username of you and your opponent! This will drop you both into a Singles 6v6 battle without team preview! The first pokemon sent out will be the first in your party so be sure to have your lead at the lead!

A note about the /pokebattle command, as you can see it is very swift! But that comes with a drawback of not being able to specify Battle Rules, so if you want to have a special sort of battle or enable team preview, stick with the first method!



Battle Committee — 1/29/2024 6:00 PM
Hello Toro, BC team here with an announcement!

We in the BC have had a recent discussion on a specific set of moves, the moves from Pokemon Let's go Pikachu and Pokemon Let's go Eevee! While we have already banned the uses of partner Pikachu and partner Eevee's signature moves, we want to officially state that, going forward, no pokemon can learn any moves from these games from tutor tickets! This is mostly due to 2 reasons: Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are their own, very centralized meta game, and because these moves cannot be officially obtained in any games outside of Pokemon:LGPE. In fact, they can't even be used on showdown normally.

These moves will need to be removed from any movesets. And as always, if you have any questions, please open up a BC ticket!



Toro League — 2/6/2024 4:00 PM
Hello everyone! We have some big news for the battlers of Toro:
All current Mythical and Paramon stat nerfs will be reverted, with Melmetal, Magearna, and Pheromosa being exceptions. Paramon abilities changes will be kept. This change is now active with this server restart.

There are multiple reasons we have come to this conclusion. However, the primary one is that we want the Mythicals our players put so much time and work into getting to truly feel like a reward! We've pick up lots of concerns with the early nerfs over the years, and with limitations regarding showdown- an increasingly common form of battling due to all the bugs- it's even an even more prevalent problem. It's heartbreaking to see people feel like their Mythicals might not be worth it. After discussion with multiple staff and players, we have come to the conclusion this would be best.

This is not a permanent change- future nerfs can be considered! However this only after they have been introduced so we can see how these Pokemon affect Toro's battling scene, and if the data deems it's truly necessary, rather than doing it before their introduction. We'll be keeping an eye on comments from players and staff, and you are free to open BC tickets as well. We're open to changes, we're just being cautious about not pre-nerfing them.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you all have a lovely day!

(Also Celesteela is no longer being counted as a Mythical Slot. Lore Team has decided this is out of pocket and admin team agrees.)



Vernon — 2/12/2024 1:19 AM
The server is now updated with a new version of ToroBlocks, and we've updated the stat files for a few Pokemon (more information posted ⁠toro-news⁠). There's also a new version of the resource pack (included in the download links).

Technic is also updated! Please make sure to back up your settings.

@everyone Hey I don't do this- but snek's old account was hacked and I've gotten more than one DM lately about their old account dming people and being suspicious- block the account. @snek if you don't wanna hunt their account.

Edit: No this isn't a prank, think about how little we use the everyone ping.

@[User] was also got :deadLuminary: I'll be removing them from the discord at this time-



Vernon — 2/21/2024 11:47 AM
In light of the above two announcements, staff would like to stress how important it is to not click on any suspicious links, answer any suspicious DMs, or trust any sketchy inbound e-mails.

If you get an e-mail or message asking you about something that seems official, always reach out to the source in a fresh e-mail chain (or reach out to them on social media). This applies to more than just Discord. Do not engage with the e-mail or DM sent to you.

If a friend you know is acting oddly in DMs- report it. Reach out to mutual friends and see if there's similar patterns in their behavior.

And to reiterate: Do not directly engage with these suspicious parties. They will try to scare you into doing what they want, do not let them. In these cases- reach out DIRECTLY to Discord to ask about what they're talking about, even if it's an account flagged as a Discord Employee.

Leo — 2/21/2024 12:45 PM
Hi guys, Tech support Leo here.

After reiterating and confirming with witnesses and victims, I can confirm the exact process used to hack the accounts as of now.

If you get a dm from any of your friends along the line of

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Regrettably, I accidentally filed a ticket to your account. A few days ago, someone messaged me, expressing interest in playing a game together. Excited to make a new friend, I clicked on a link they provided, which led to a tournament or registration page. However, after joining the link, my account got hacked. Upon recovering my account, I attempted to identify the person responsible, and due to similarities in profile and name, I mistakenly associated them with you. I deeply regret any confusion or trouble this may have caused

I received that ticket 2 hours ago and you still have time to prove your innocence and i hope you can get in time since im afraid that you might get ban and block your IP because of my mistake. This was the reply from discord support on my ticket, im sorry that i got your involved in this problem

I am really sorry and maybe you can help me contact the recommended discord support stated in the ticket which is marksmith_support and explain that it was a misunderstanding. Also convince the support that you are innocent and you are not liable for the report. I am really sorry again and i dont want you to receive any penalty because of me so please take this seriously.


Do not respond. this is the current script of Marksmith! Once he convinces you to add this account, he pushes you through a process that replaces the email attached to the account, along with disabling two factor authentication.

He is using fraud and intimidation in order to steal your accounts. Unfortunately it is unlikely that you will get them back as they are now under his email. However there is a simply solution!
1: make sure your two factor authentication stays on, a real staff of discord would not need you to disable it.

2: Do not respond to any friends that send you this script!

3: keep your personal information, personal. While already heavily against the rules in most places. Do not send your information to anybody; even if they aren’t hacked

I am currently working with his local police to have him arrested along with taking his Ip (more specific then location) in order to have him ip banned.

I cannot and will not reccomend that you go after anyone involved with this outside of legal limits!



rosy — 2/27/2024 12:13 AM
No ping but:
Imgur seems to be broken with other servers and people with MPM, if you can't use your default skin- these alternatives are what I've tested so far, for uploading your skin:
Gyazo - Make an account and just upload it
https://vgy.me/
Dropbox - https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Create- ... d-p/245432
Google Drive-
https://www.labnol.org/embed/google/drive/

Most things should work if you can directly link to it! For the moment, I'll update things when/if it is fixed & I'll keep an eye out on MPM's Discord.



Vernon — 3/4/2024 6:54 PM
Seeing a lot of folks running into this issue: Do not upload your skins to use on Toro onto Discord!

Discord has changed its API, you need to start using imgur, or one of the options Rosy put up in the post above mine. It'd be prudent for you to start uploading your skins as soon as possible and swapping them out otherwise you're gonna be a silly looking steve.

Hello Toro Folks! Admin Vern here!

So with the current arc underway, I'd like to do a little call to action for a community project. For anyone interested, I'm gathering people who are interested in helping "fix" G-Max textures for Toro. A lot of the existing Pixelmon textures for G-Max forms have heavy... I suppose the term is artifacting? I'm not a texture artist or anything- I don't know- but I do know this looks... bad. And I'd love to have cleaner textures. If you're interested, please let me know (either by ping, or DM.)

It seems that we've gone back in time, to a more peaceful and perhaps better year. Its 2015. Discord is in its fledgling state, and we're back on skype. Today, we'll be relishing in the past, as we enjoy easier, more simpler time. All chat channels save for the more major ones are on vacation for the day.

Be careful if you tab out or close out of discord, though. If you're memory isn't great, then you might be scratching your head without a chat history to help you recall what you were talking about. Surely that won't be a problem, right?

Merry Aprilfoolsmas, my lovelies! Good luck, have fun, and may your memory be clear!

Hello Toro!! We hope the year has been smooth for everyone! We're coming to you all today to announce that most of Toro's staff will be going on a break that'll last till the end of the month. As it is, our staff have been going through the motions for a good few months now and it is about time that we take another small break. During this break we'll be regrouping as a whole so that your Toro staff members may better assist you in the future!

We apologize if this puts a hinderance on any roleplay plans due to ET tickets or etc. If anything critical arises you are still more than welcome to make a ticket, especially CR & Tech ones.

There will still be some staff members who'll be working through the break, but we just ask people be respectful and understanding of the small break. Thank you all for your cooperation and we can't wait to make more great moments with this wonderful community!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us of course!



rosy — 4/22/2024 1:01 AM
Changelog:
#tech-support is renamed to ⁠❔┃help-desk
To better reflect that any question can go in there. Same rules as always, but please help new people ask questions in there!

#help-wanted is renamed to⁠❗┃bulletin-board
To allow for a channel for more ADs stuff, like for finding Roommates, quests, or whatever else you want to stick around a while! You can still use ic-ads, but feel free to crosspost it the channel since it'll probably be pushed up by events!

This is also a reminder that ⁠ic-advertisements can be used as RP starters, such as ' People can hear music playing from the Carmine Stage ' & such!

Hey guys! We took a look and saw the posts for Toroan Relicanth, Ledyba/Ledian, and Dratini/Dragonair were pretty outdated and missing a lot of moved from the configs. So, we’ve completely updated them to the modern format! We hope this helps with planning a build around each.

However, we also noticed that the movesets for them are pretty outdated, to say the least. Please keep in mind for future sets that battle committee may be going forth and doing overhauls for the movesets to make sure they are properly updated. If you have any questions, as always, feel free to make a BC ticket.

WOAH hey gang- so the new Resource Pack is ready! Here you all go- make sure to update! This is to Replace The existing pack!

Yeah it says feburary in the little description thing, just an oversight dw about it



Vernon — 6/12/2024 4:59 PM
Because of us forgetting to change the little display thing in the resource pack, I went ahead and reuploaded the pack so this will say "June" instead of Feburary.

If you've ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE PACK THIS MONTH, YOU DON'T NEED TO REDOWNLOAD IT!

After discussing it with ET with the results of who signed up on the when2meet, You Can (Not) Dynamax 5.0 will be hosted on the server on July 3rd, 7 PM EST to give people time to take off from work, etc. as the other times were too early! Thank you everyone!

Hello! Going forward, I would like to ask that anyone making an RTMP ticket for URGENT matters (active crimes/ Crimes in progress) to drop a ping for anyone with @RTMP roles so that they can see what's going on and respond as soon as possible!

The RTMP want to be able to help people in need- and the sooner they realize there's trouble, the better!

Thank you! And have a good night.

Announcement: Help Us Build Ferrite!

Hello, build man golem here!

As some of you know, we've been working hard to update the town in Toro to align more with modern times. Viridis, Adamas, and Tyrian have already been revamped, and soon we will start on our new Ferrite build.

We've been having a tough time figuring out what exactly we want to do with the build, aside from a general "vibe or aesthetic."

That's why we've decided to ask you, the community, for help. Below this post, you'll find a thread where you can share your suggestions, pictures, and ideas. Ferrite is a bit more futuristic than normal cities so we wanne combine that with the toro stlyle. Hopefully, this gives you an idea of what we aim to achieve.

Any help will be appreciated, so go ahead and contribute!

(P.S. I will give some pix to the best ideas or inspiration pictures.)



Dianamond — 8/4/2024 6:51 PM
Hello Toro Community!

It has been brought to our attention that the Red Card item is currently bugged. After some testing we found out that the item will activate and force your Pokemon opponent to switch out despite fainting.

Please keep this in mind when equipping your Pokemon with the item, if you so choose to use this item despite it being bugged, thank you!



Bedtime — 8/14/2024 10:22 PM
Hey everyone!!!
I divert attention to Leoh, who now has a conspicuously shiny Lore Team Role, very suspicious!
Jokes aside, this is an announcement to let you all know that Leoh is now officially a Trial Lore Team member!!! So make sure to divert any and all questions to them so they can learn how things work around here.
Also ping them, a lot.



rosy — 8/17/2024 1:44 PM
🏮 Hello all! With the Festival of Lights approaching so soon, we would like to bring back a tradition - player suggested textures!

Suggest a texture below that'll fit our Sakura Tea item, and we might put it in the texture pack! Details below 🡣
https://forms.gle/41eTdP2AU58dbmhE7
{ Thank you Punk for setting it up! } 🌸



Misha — 8/18/2024 8:55 PM
Howdy Toro, @rosy and I are coming with you with a small update regarding Donator Custom Textures! We are now offering a cheaper $5 option for a single additional Simple Custom Texture, as an alternative to the normal fifteen. Like normal, you will still need the Golduck Rank first. This also comes with the following guidelines:
This covers a single Pokemon without additional forms, not the whole line.
Simple Color Swaps and/or minor changes to existing patterns if the UV allows it without issue. No additional or complex patterning.
The texture itself is able to be edited with without considerable extra work to keep it 'clean'. Please check in on this as some models can be rough!
We wanted to offer this to allow folk to get some more textures for their favorites without shelling out as much! I will be updating the website to include this information later on once we work out all the small details and see how it goes.

If you have any questions or are interested in one, feel free to reach out to Rosy and I through an Admin Ticket or in DMs! :salute:



Leo — 8/24/2024 8:58 PM
Hi guys, Et, Lt, and Bc Leo here

I’m here to say that if you beat all the kimono girls you can make a bc ticket and show us proof. But make sure to take your time and have fun! Don’t wanna deplete all of our fun stuff the first day!

I know it got spoiled :3c~2: , but, after 3 years we're bringing back the Toroan Contest! Please read this post in full if you'd like to participate! But remember, while you can work together, please don't spoil others* about your idea if you can help it! It won't be a surprise if you win!

Reposting this since it got lost in the update talk:
viewtopic.php?t=5597
TOROAN CONTEST! Give us ideas! Work together or don't, but, please try not to talk openly about your idea, so we can avoid people getting spoiled by it. Or by people feeling bad if something doesn't get in!

Try to get it in by the end of this month though!
★ 11th YEAR ANNIVERSARY EVENT ★ - Toroan Contest! - Toro League



Misha — 9/3/2024 5:01 PM
Howdy y'all! I just wanted to put out a small reminder-
While you can work together, please don't spoil others about your idea if you can help it! It won't be a surprise if you win! ★
I know you're super excited to share! Best to ask first and then present it in DMs though, and try not to say much in public chats :salute:

Additionally, if you're wondering whether the design you have in mind is viable or not, feel free to DM me to ask and I can check the UVs & textures for you!



Vernon — 9/19/2024 1:52 PM
Don't click on any link Bedtime sends you rn
Ikaro's account has been hacked.



Leo — 9/22/2024 5:33 PM
Leo here to give some basic advice,

1: Just don’t click any suspicious links, please read them before your urge to click takes over. If the link name doesn’t make sense, it's probably either a normal scam link or a Phishing link. Phishing links suck, step 3 will help you if you end up clicking on one.

2: If when you click into the link, it asks for your login information on ANY website or platform, don’t give it, in this scenario it's asking you to log in to get a free ten dollar steam gift card.

3: Even if you don’t hand over your info, it's best to keep any and all online banking or card information off of your device, while saving a password may be good for your memory, its also good for the hacker's memory.



rosy — 9/29/2024 10:57 PM
WEEK EXTENSTION! - [6th]
We'll be giving you all another week to finish up and submit your Toroans! If you're stuck on certain parts, I recommend submitting it anyways, as there is a lot of collaboration afterwards to work on the designs to fit toro, stats, etc!
So we also reccomend people submit recolored concept arts, details of what they'd like, and etc!

Also for battle things, if you're stuck, I totally suggest checking out these, and maybe instead identifying what type of role they play: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/38940/wh ... e-battling
and maybe some moves they might thematically have!

If you need any help, feel free to reach out with BC ticket!

MAKE SURE TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE DOCUMENTS




Dianamond — 10/4/2024 3:33 PM
Toroan Form Contest ends in 2 days! This is your ~48 hour reminder!



rosy — 10/8/2024 9:22 PM
I added ⁠🔗┃looking-for-rp and a bot in ⁠💝rules-and-resources💝 that can give you optional roles incase you want them or not!

Please don't abuse these, or complain about being pinged if you sign up for it! :3c~2: If you have any suggestions, as always, just let us know!



rosy — 10/11/2024 12:20 AM
Please forgive the server being down for the moment! From what I understand, many other servers, including our own, are being swarmed with bots trying to get in. It shouldn't be malicious, but, we are struggling to deal with it still and get a good a handle on it! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We'll be doing our best to try and fix it though! In the meantime, here is another reminder of our Discord RP server!
https://discord.gg/ngfb6qr



rosy — 10/11/2024 10:37 PM
🙏 Thank you for your patience ! There is still some issues, but overall the server seems to be running fine, with no rolling back or anything. So you are free to get on, rp, and all that!

Please excuse any prolonged downtime though as we may be working to solve these issues!



rosy — 10/14/2024 7:34 PM
Doing some server work again! Sorry for any inconveniences! ⛏️

IMPORTANT SERVER UPDATE!
We're going to be shutting down the server for a bit (maybe a couple days) just to see if we can't get the rest of our tools (Such as Pory, and other access) back up and running by halting all traffic on the server in and out.

We'll have things back up by the 19th, at the very least, and ask that you guys do RPs on the Discord for the time being until such time the server is back up! Thank you for your understanding!



rosy — 10/16/2024 9:34 AM
IMPORTANT SERVER UPDATE
Luke and I fixed the server issues! (( mostly my husband though )) ♥

You may have seen an unfamilar bird running around Toro in the past few months, but your eyes have not decieved you!
Now that they've been out for a little while and people have had the chance to discover our fighty friend ICly, the forum post for Toroan Doduo and Dodrio is now live!

Heya Everyone
Big Time here with a cool little update on the Toroan contest process
We have currently decided on the 'winners' of the contest and will be opening tickets with those involved shortly.
Before that however, we'd like to thank each and everyone who submitted a Toroan, it made us do a lot of research and discuss them in depth; overall it was good to see how everyone thought about the approach to making a Toroan form; Additionally we want to mention people who submitted Toroans that did not win will be receiving a texture based on the Toroan form submitted!
With this, we officially conclude the 'Contest' portion of this Toroan Process, and we hope everyone will be looking forwards to them being implemented into the server when their time is due.



Misha — 10/18/2024 7:16 PM
Howdy! We'll be trying to get out a Texture Pack update this coming weekend. Let us know if there's any broken texture that should be fixed, last minute customs, or whatever else! If you got a custom texture that's not in yet or whatever else feel free to check in on it. You can just DM me about this! :mari_wave:



Misha — 10/19/2024 3:54 PM
🎨 Resource Pack Update!
The resource pack has been updated just in time for the festival; thank you to everyone who contributed this time, and especially big shout-out to Diana who did a bunch! Our public Texture Lists will be updating soon with pictures and credits, but note that not all new additions might be up there yet.

Additionally, some items in this update makes use of Optifine's CIT features, so you might be unable to see a few items if you don't use it!



Misha — 10/19/2024 4:17 PM
Update: One of our texture artists forgot some things and is putting in a few last minute textures. Deleting the one above and we'll reupload it in a moment once they got it settled, sorry for the inconvenience! :salute~1:



Misha — 10/19/2024 4:27 PM

Hello Toro,

As you might've noticed, I've halloweein-ified the server names! May your spooky month be full of tricks and treats!

That said, once October ends, I do hope you all know what will be arriving here on November 1st...



Misha — 10/28/2024 6:16 AM
Howdy we've got a lil bit of technical issues we're trying to work out! Please do not get on the server until an admin puts out an announcement saying it's safe, even if you see the server online.



Vernon — 10/28/2024 7:58 AM
Good morning, it's been almost 2 hours of work but Rosy and I got it fixed.

As a result:

The server has been rolled back to October 26th!
This hopefully affects very little, but please keep in mind that if something is different, reach out and we'll help you fix it, or give you the ability to do so yourself.
Rosy and I are going to sleep now. Good night.
Oh also this isn't affecting playerdata, or pokemon.

ITS TIME.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, TORO!!!!

🎨 Looking for Modelers and Pixel Artists
Howdy Toro people, we're reaching out for volunteers of our community who would want to contribute models & art that will be used for publicly available decorations, hats, held items, and other similar aesthetic stuff! We're looking for volunteers with either or both of these skills:
Blockbench modellers (Java Block/Item)
Pixel Artists who may help with icons and/or textures
Stylistically, we're looking to keep such models and art typically within a 16x16 or 32x32 resolution; we're looking for stuff that will generally fit Toro stylistically, rather than anything too realistic or gritty.

If you're interested open an Admin ticket to let us know and share some examples! Thanks y'all❣️



cammy — 11/9/2024 3:33 PM

:kibohi: Hello Toro, small message from the ET Team! -- I am here to let you all know our ET team is running a bit thin right now. A good portion of us are feeling a bit under the weather and are dealing with IRL responsibilities.

We wanted to be transparent about it, and the fact that we may not touch any new & future Mythical/Mega tickets until we finish our current tickets. We want to make sure they are as high quality for players, and that the people currently waiting get their tickets done! If you need a Z-Crystal, or want to plan an event, or anything else, please do still make a ticket!

Current, already open tickets will be addressed though and are in high priority! I just ask you have some patience with us while we work through them.
Please ping me / @rosy specifically too, if you're looking for an update, I see all possible tickets and I easily lose track of things!

If you have some smaller event requests though, we have a lot of new amazing Volunteer Actors that we'd like to thank, that have graciously taken up the mantle to help players! You're free to request events of that nature through ⁠📄┃mini-requests so they can see ! Additionally, you can read about them & the events they can do here [HERE]

And if anybody is interesting in helping out Event Team, you may read about it [HERE] -or if you have any questions about that, feel free to ask via DMs, Tickets, ⁠❔┃help-desk or wherever! 🩷

Thank you all for your patience and understanding though!

I tried to fix all the building done yesterday that I knew of, and had saved some before I rolled it back. But if I missed something, pleasee let us know so we can fix it and or reiumburse it!

Sorry for the inconvenience again, we are looking into what may have happened!

You WILL need to update before the Tinsel Town event tonight! It'll be worth it though! Remove Phospor & Change VanillaFix !

We know Plushie Sprites are broken! Sorry for the inconvenience. We've identified it and will fix it soon, after event stuff though, so everybody can attend without trouble.

In the New Year I'd like to do a community fireside chat / community meeting to talk about Toro - involving topics such as the future of Toro, and some things we want community feedback on! Don't worry if you can't make it, we will be posting notes & making forums to discuss things in more detail. Additionally, don't worry Toro is NOT going anywhere!
It would help us if interested people would say what date works for them! https://www.when2meet.com/?28006713-i7IhV



rosy — 12/15/2024 5:46 PM
By the way, you may have noticed we've added RGB Chat!
I've tested it a lot, and it can be tricky to use! I'll put out a guide later, and explain it better then. In the meantime, if you do use it for your name, please only use 1 of the custom colors, as the hex doesn't get filtered out in our logs 💜 You're free to combine it with the regular Minecraft Color Codes though!

As always, please keep it readable!

Use &F instead of &R!

🚂 [!] What A Time to Be In Tinsel Town! [!] 🎅

Welcome to Tinsel Town, a place that is open for only a few seasons an OOC year! The town typically opens up towards the end of our OOC year when the migrating flock of Articuno come through our beloved Toro region.

What is Tinsel Town? Tinsel Town is a winter wonderland made to enjoy the holiday seasons a little better with roughly two OOC weeks of festive RP, events, and more! Characters will be stuck here for quite some time - atleast a week , so make the most of it!

Stuck?Yes! Your characters would be stuck here in Tinsel Town for a short time. It may be awkward at first, but we hope this closed in environment helps people find each other and RP!

What if we weren't at the first event? No worries! People are ICly and OOCly arriving to Tinsel Town all the time! Through Rescue Parties sent out, or your character getting to the next train. You can find it in the Aurelia Subway, past the Taxis.

Feel free to ask around in ⁠🔗┃looking-for-rp for a RP arriving here!

What can we do?
Whatever you want! Run a mini-event, host some RPs like a fun dinner or cocoa making, or ask around! You can check in on the daily advent calendar in the center of town! Or check out the shops that offer everything you should need - from cards, ingredients, pokemon items, to blocks- or whatever! If you don't find what you want, you can put in a request!

You can live freely at one of the provided dorms, at a room in the inns, or if you want to buddy up (or have a family) you can take one of the houses!

You can decorate your own places, with materials provided in the shop! Or if you need anythingg else the elves are always happy to accommodate, ⁠📄┃mini-requests !




Stow — 12/25/2024 6:48 PM
Late but 🎄 🕎 Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays to all and any who celebrate! 🎁 🎅

Secret Santa's are due as of today - if you haven't received yours yet, please reach out to me! If you need more time to send yours out, also do the same so I can inform the recipient of any potential delay!
