This is just an idea I came up with last night.
I can build a theme park for this site that would act as sort of a neutral zone between trainers. A place where trainers and pokemon can have fun, and not have to worry about having their pokemon stolen or competing in battles.
I can also, theoreticaly, build it to beat a number of real world records. If this park, that I could create, would be real it could have the tallest and the fastest roller coasters, even outstripping the current leader, Kingda Ka.
All I need is your support, if enough people like the idea, and the administration okays it, I will start work on a park I call Jentaland, for lack of a better name.
If anyone has an idea for a better name, please tell me.

Jentaworld. Makes Jenta seem bigger than it is... Plus, -land is overdone...

Okay, name is now Jentaworld until we get a better suggestion.

I'll take all suggestions, and run another poll after we get enough.
And of course Nyaa has to agree to this.

Question: Why isn't there a "meh, don't really care" option in the poll?

I have a question as well, seeing as the boards are as cluttered as they are: would people use them? How would it work? If there are no battles/plot involvement, aside from Neko possibly taunting those who've lost their Pokemon by having them run around, how would the posting work?
Like...what would the mods do? Also, would they RP as going up to a rollar coaster...then just...riding it? Then getting off...then going to another ride...and riding it? I guess it could be used for character sketching, but it seems like it would simply spawn a bunch of one-post RP threads...unless people went together?
Personally, I don't care, seeing as I wouldn't have to mod it (hehe), and I can do character sketches anywhere I wanna...
If I had to guess Neko's reaction, she'd probably want waaaaay more details on how it would work (seeing as how she'd be the one to set it up, seeing as she's super meticulous about everything), then she'd...well...I guess I can see this happening:
"Your post: Ruin walks into the amusement park.
Neko's post: Hamako ran by, breathless. That stupid shelgon was chasing her again! Ruby dashed after her, not paying any attention to Rain."
Because she seriously must live to irk people, as I can attest. *cue the eye roll*

Hmmmmm...well...(I should really get back to math - grr)...
I'm afraid Banny is right. I can't exactly okay something I know nothing about. To be honest, I have no clue how an amusement park dead zone would work here...and I don't exactly like the idea of putting in boards I don't have systems for (I hate cluttered front pages, they make me gag).
So if you can work out the details and post them here, I MIGHT okay it. I'm not settling on a yes or no yet (like I said, I need waaaay more details and system information), but yeah...
After all, I try to hold at least the site itself to some sort of quality control. ^_^;;

I haven't worked out the details yet, that I will do, I just wanted to start gathering public opinion first.

I have to say, I'm with Purr-chan when I ask why is there no: "Meh, don't really care" option in the poll. I'm not against the idea. I'm just not for it, either. You should remake the poll to take into account other public opinion.

-raises hand- I want an 'i don't care' one too. Just because Zach would probably never go to it. Such a concentration of people would simply have to result in at least one ghost pokemon, and Akriso is enough trouble.

If you mean in terms of RPing, you have a lot to do, Jason. You could continue with your Route 1 thread, or open up another thread in one of the "other places"...

Not in terms of roleplaying. I've got plenty to do in that area...

Alright, I'd like to put this idea on the drawing board. Would it be okay if we expand on the dead-zone theme park idea, and make a board in the "other places" section with the theme park as a subboard? It could be an island (why are they always islands? Sheesh, I need creativity) or something, sort of separate from the main Jenta area, and it could be a place for trainers to go and relax, interact with their Pokemon and other trainers (and other trainers' Pokemon), etcetera.
For the system, I think a modless system with double-posting (and triple, quadruple, etcetera) allowed, to a certain extent. For example, if you just wanted to go to the (insert name of area here) and play with your Pokemon, but nobody showed up to go with you, you could just continue to write about what you did in another post. However, to keep post counts on various threads reasonable, there could be a word/sentence per post limit, or something...
Did you have any ideas for the theme park, Ruin? I just want to make sure the system I brainstormed (having the theme park as a subboard of a main board - meaning the theme park itself wouldn't have any subboards) would fit in with your original ideas of how the theme park worked.
But please...I'm not letting any theme park on this site go up with a name like Jentaland, Jentaworld, Jenta Studios, or Jenta Flags. Or Jenta Gardens, or whatever. Let's not parody an existing theme park, mmkay? I think we all have enough creativity to think up a more original name.
Off the top of my head, here are some random names that may or may not work: - Crystal Dream - Local Fairy - City of the Sun (or, if we wanted Japanese, Hi no Machi) - Morning Stage (or, if we wanted Japanese, Asa no Suteeji, Asa no Stage) - Fantasy Town - Urban Spirit - Star Sphere - Joy Planet
Bleh. -_-

Hmm, I don't know about those names, but we'll need to get opinions of others.
But we also need rides, I'm an amusement park fanatic, now if I could only find my copy of Roller Coaster Tycoon, I could design it. So, does anyone have any ideas for rides?

I love this idea. It'll be a fun way to relax from the battles, and the journey, and everything. I'll also get to put my Beldum in one of those spinning teacups. Hehe. Okay...ride ideas:
-Drifloon Balloons: This was used in the one of the pokemon episodes I believe? Basically, hot air balloon rides. Who doesn't love those? I say Drifloon, because well...yeah.
-Ponyta Parade: Various pokemon as carousel horses. Not just Ponytas, Rapidashes, and Girafarigs, though. Some cool ones! Yay!
-Bumping Beldums: A bumper car ride with various steel, rock, and ground-type pokemon (just naming the types people might associate with strong and tough).
-Haunted House: Just a creepy house with various ghost pokemon and creepy stuff.
There's many more things, but, most are things anyone might think of (kinda like the above without the biased names..heh). Also, would there be a water park?

There's always Jenta/Town name/Island name Dreamland, as a takeoff on the famous, "abandoned" Nara Dreamland. The only other awesomely cool abandoned theme park I can think of is the Beijing Disneyland, which my friends saw when they were in China. Dunno if Beijing Disney is gonna actually get finished, though.
