Question:
I can't upload on Powder Game, why?
Answer:
This will tell you all about uploading on Powder Game.
1.) The first thing to do is make an account on the Dan-Ball site. If you have not already done this, click on the "Home" tab located in the yellow bar near the top of the Dan-Ball site. After clicking it, you will see a space on the left side of the page that has two white typing bars and the word "Registration" underlined and in blue up above the two lines. Click it.
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! If you don't see the word Registration, and everything is in Japanese, look in the top right corner and click the word that says English, and everything will be english (sort of).
Once you click Registration, there should be a new window with four typing lines on it. The first is your ID. What you enter here will not be what will show up under your uploads. The second two are the password and confirmation, and the last is your nickname. The nickname is what will be under your upload title when you upload.
Fill each of these out, and check the agreement button at the bottom. Make sure you put your password and ID in a word document or write it down. That is what you will need to log in if you log out.
Once you click confirmation, the window will change and it will show your Id, password, and nickname. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST THE ID AND PASSWORD! Click the regitration button and you will be registered. You will be automatically be signed in also.
2.) If you click upload one of three things will happen. Upload past 12 hours to a total of 50, 2nd only once can uploaded, or it will have a typing line and the words Ok and Cancel. If you have a typing line that means that you can upload! If it says Upload past 12 hours to a total of 50, that means that there have been 50 uploads in the past twelve hours. That is the maximum amount of uploads allowed. If it says 2nd only once can uploaded, that means that either you have uploaded from that account, or from that computer in the last two days, and you can't upload, so you have to wait until it has been two days. You can only upload once every two days, and there can only be a total of 50 uploads every 12 hours.
3.) If you get an upload spot, then it can not be taken away unless you refresh, close the internet, or navigate away from the page. A smart thing to do is to wait until there have been 49 uploads in the past 12 hours, and then upload, so your upload will be at the top of the list of recent uploads.
4.) As some have said already, the best times to get an upload spot are 10:00-12:00pm Easter Standard Time, and 10:00-12:00am Eastern Standard Time.
I hope this will be helpful to you, and good luck!

Karma

Karma is a system used to show how respected, or disliked a person is. Some people abuse karma and smite people like crazy, even if they have done nothing wrong! So, if you see your karma deplete and you KNOW you are a good member, ask a staff member. They can help you figure it out.
