I understand people who feels angry after being haxed but...

so you dc yet we should all follow your example and take losses that we deserve? lol WTF
there have been tons of us who take hax losses and take the hit of points and have never d/c'd but apparently it's okay for people who dc to preserve their high rankings and they are the ones preaching to the masses about not dcing? how about we actually play pokemon and not cheat other people out of wins because frankly seeing a bunch of 1900 players dcing proves how much of a joke this tournament is to is playing fairly

A wedding plus no reliable wifi connection equals a stymied 6-0 record. Florida needs to get with the times regarding wifi!
A lot of these posts are depressing. I've been DCed on a few times due to winning, and so have also been robbed of deserving victories. Hope Nintendo really does have a way to ban these asses...

Someone should make a ''Confess about D/Cing'' thread!
Hmmm, Solace, how should I put this...
I'm not so much preaching as I am ranting about people complaining about disconnection when they are guilty of it. I didn't tell anyone to "follow" me. I'm simply saying what I have done and what I will do, and that is not disconnect. I never said once that it's okay to disconnect, it's not okay. I did it, and I regret it.
Please, don't accuse me of "preaching" as you put it. It's not what I do, I simply say what I'm thinking. Words come out of my mouth, and you choose to listen. I don't intend on anyone "following" me. You choose your actions, do what you have to do.
My personal message to my self is to not disconnect. You choose your own actions, just make sure you don't regret it.
I confess. I signed up for this and have yet to play a game.
Then please, excuse my last post :x

lolwut. I d/c? I haven't played in a whole hour. I'm tryna teach my friend the basics of vgc 2012 on a different site. If i battled you I would know. U-turn isn't a common name, and unless the team you battle was this it must be some other aris:
thunderus, terrakion, darmanitan, hydreigon, jellicent, amoonguss.
Serially I d/c'd only TWICE this whole tournament and it was yesterday.
EDIT: And when did this Aris d/c? Was it in the battle or during the you found a opponent sign! because if its that I obviously left before I connected to you which is not d/cing.
lol Don't feel bad xD I ran into someone who didn't have any items too, I think I either 3-0ed him or 4-oed him.
Your in game name is mattj, right mattj? :P

I just battle a person using ally switch pretty darn good, though as soon as i saw beheymeen(cant spell that name for crap) I knew it was a ally switcher and brung it down to 3-4 easily. Until i did a fail predict, and he protected that beheymeen, and attack with the other expecting a ally switch. Barely won 1-0 haha.
EDIT: @solace
You really weren't, but serially when did aris d/c. The beginning or the end because I never battle you.

Actually people who are sub 1500 tend not to DC.
People who are above 1700 have a huge tendency to DC
Well, I just hope that things will cool off on tuesday after this mess is over, I really hope so.
Basically, it´s pretty clear by now, that in this tournament, it is possible to play all day long for 5 days straight and not lose a single battle, just by disconnecting during/after the battle. The intelligent ones would lose 1-2 on purpose to not be suspicious. There´s noone that good that they never lose, because from time to time, you face quality people plus there´s the issue with rock slide missing, flinches, effect spore, etc. etc.
On the other hand, I bet it would be possible to just DC on every other 1550+ person you face right away (take the penalty of not being able to battle for a few minutes) and only face the weaker people who guarantee you 3-5 points in 2-3 turns. You know, because 50 such battles per day means a steady +150 to +250 rating. That´s how the system works, it´s abusable and not everyone can resist.
What I´m saying is, not many people will trust your 1980, 2034 or 2167 rating in the end, no matter how good your reputation is. Taking that into consideration, I don´t know if it´s really wise to try as hard (I mean the people who protect their ratings with a disconnect).
Also, people tend to get emotional about this game (I´m guilty of being emotional, see record topic), so don´t be too offended by DC rants...I mean it´s frustrating for people to have a 15-4 score instead of 27-4 on a day, if only because their oponents disconnected after losing.
They definitely have to change the system if they want to continue hosting tournaments. I know I´m not the only one who initially thought that an wi-fi tourney like this was going to be amazing (and most of the time, it is), but there´s 2,5 days to go and seeing how more and more people get frustrated, the whole thing could end disastrous.

No wonder a lot of the 1800+ people are trash. I expected more resistance in my battles (before they d/ced of course).
And I agree with your post, but I'm curious as to how they can revamp the system. There are people who purposely d/c and people who d/c due to legitimate problems to their internet. I believe Jibaku has been plagued with quite a few of them. Unless Nintendo can place a system that can differentiate between malicious intent and pure accident, it's going to be near impossible without a few "casualties" from the innocent side.
Amazingly, I haven't been d/c'd on all day. I never disconnect on anyone myself either. Worst I'll do is forfeit if I'm 110% certain that it's hopeless.
Eradd, if they can´t differentiate between a communication error and a switch-off, I´m in the camp of "you´re responsible for your connection" and thus you lose points.
They can´t know whether your sister goes to the PC and changes the wireless settings to auto WPA/WPA2 (so that she connects her laptop) if you play on a DS lite and need WEP lol...or whatever else.
What I fear is that they can´t distinguish which person disconnected...on which side the disconnect (for whatever reason) happened. That would be bad.

I'm super duper serial guys.
What "casualties"? Having a couple matches you had in the bag counted as a loss because your Wi-fi hiccuped? Noone is saying that nintendo should be tracking down the DCers and taking away their DSes, all nintendo needs to do is treat a DC as a loss.
EDIT:
I'm sure they can, one person is no longer connected to NWFC, the other person is and gets a message saying "connection with other player has been lost".
A guy with 2004 D/Ced on me. I got a a parahax but I wouldn't have needed it if it wasn't for min damage on my hp ice.
