RANKING UP
In order to rank up to any rank other than Rainbow Ice and Rocky Road, there are two conditions that must be met. First, you must gain 10 wins during your time as your current flavor. Secondly, you must have at least 800 cones. Once you have enough cones, you must challenge a member in the flavor(s) immediately above yours. In order to issue this challenge, you mus make a post with the following statement: "I hereby challenge _________ to a Rank Up battle for the rank of _____!" This post MUST be made before the battle takes place.
If you are victorious in the battle, you are awarded the next flavor. If not, you must recollect your points and try again. If you lose 3 times in a rolling one-week period, then you must wait one full week before you can have another rank up battle. The only exception for this ruling would of course be if you are the first member to reach the next flavor, in which case you need only hit the next win marker.
In order to reach Rocky Road rank, you must first gain 10 wins during your tenure as a member of the rank directly below. After doing so, you must defeat all of the Dream Cream SUBSTITUTES listed in post number 4 of this thread. The list is more or less static, so it shouldn't change much while you attempt to accomplish this task. The wins you achieve stick, so you do not need to rechallenge subs if you lose a match. Like with other rankups, you need to post that you are challenging each sub before you battle, and then the sub must post the results. In order to prevent challenge spam upon the Substitutes, a given challenger may only challenge each substitute ONCE every TWO days.
If you thought that the above task was daunting, be prepared for the next one. In order to reach Rainbow Ice Rank, you must defeat the 5 starting members of the Dream Cream itself. As with the subs, wins stick, and all other rules apply.
