Right now there's a problem I can see - often people come into the room for their first time and have absolutely no idea how it works. Could it be possible to implement some sort of command (ie. /scavengerexp or something) that would explain briefly how it works? Otherwise, it can get real annoying having to explain it each time someone asks 'What is this?' or 'How does this work?'. Just what I think would be nice but eh
Last edited:
/scavengerhelp details all of the commands and what they do, and Flame Emblem has started hosting practice scavengers before the ranked ones which give step-by-step instructions on how to use the hunt. i don't think we really need to be more comprehensive than that
Ah ok, thanks. I guess that's good enough haha

I just wanted to chime in with an idea of what could be used as a prize. At the end of the circuit we could hand out a prepared 5/6 IV mon or a shiny to the person with the most points. Obviously this doesn't work if the person in question doesn't own a copy of X/Y but it would be a cool thing to do.
Nani Man has been appointed to room owner after his recent success in unofficial hunts.
