Owners have the ability to combine their own phix or join with other owner's to create schools
What is a school? A school is a group of 2 - 10 Phix that swim, explore, race, live together. The stronger your school of phix the better the school will perform
What are the perks to a phix belonging to a school? 1) Stat points from races between phix in a school - occasionally phix will race each other within a school - Phix will earn 2 points for a win - 1 point for a loss
2) Occasional stat points from other phix's races within a school - Similar to "watching and learning" your phix is learning from another phix in its school - very helpful for low leveled phix - Phix will earn 1 point from watching another race
3) Travel safer and less likely to return with injuries - strength in numbers, right?
4) Find wild phix - Exploring schools occasionally return with a wild phix - It is rare for a wild phix to join a single phix catching: - all owners with phix in the school may try to catch the wild phix (using their fishing pole) - the difficulty will depend on the wild phix's stats and rarity - you must have the correct fishing pole - whoever catches the wild phix first will keep it
5) Schools can race at any time - limit twice per week - post in the thread "[Schools name] wants to race [School name]" - a representative from both racing schools must confirm the race - if you are the sole representative for both schools you do not have to post twice
Cons to belonging to a school? 1) Phix in a school cannot breed outside of the school - the two phix you want to breed have to be in the same school or not in a school at all
To create a school: post "Create [School name] with [phix #] [phix #] [phix #] ... with [username] as a representative" - you can name your school anything you want (all PI rules apply) - If you are posting as a representative for another owner the other owner must confirm that they are allowing their Phix to be in this school. Other owners please post " allow my phix to be in [School name] with [username] as a representative"
To admit a Phix into an established school: post "Admit [phix #] into [School name]" - If you are the representative for the school then the phix will be admitted automatically - If you are not a representative you must wait until a representative "confirms" the admittance Representatives post "confirm [phix #] admittance to [School name]"
Electing a representative: - All phix schools must have an owner representative to make decisions for the school - if you own all of the phix in the school you are the representative - For schools with phix owned by multiple owners it is crucial that I know who's direction to follow with the school * If all owners agree to share equal representation (any owner in the school can post directions for the school) please say "all owners" as the username * You can also have two or three representative, just post all of the usernames * The school will ignore all direction from owners who are not the representatives * You can represent multiple Schools
Removing phix from a school: - You can remove any of your own phix from a school at any time. post "remove [phix #] from [school name]" - If a school reaches 1 or no members the school will be deleted
