Due to how busy I've become, I've stepped down from RO for the time being, and Queez is my new replacement! I'm sure him and ashiemore will do a great job running the room after my departure. Thanks all of you for the great times, and who knows, maybe I'll come back in the future :).

Speaking of which, this just so happens to be my 1000th post, so...

Yes ik 1ks are lame but whatever people keep pestering me to do one so here you go
>:(

Wow, has it really been 3 years? It's funny how I first made this account purely to bug PS admins, then used it to trade Pokemon over in the wifi forums, and now I'm here on the media side of things. Most of you already know about me and how I got involved with Smogon anyways, and it's been a real blast.

(Organized in sections, from the areas I first joined to the most recent sections I got involved with)

Tournaments:

Vacate: You'll always be a tournaments guy in my heart ;_;. Probably one of my best friends on this website, you're the one who even invited me to the tournaments room in the first place. We've talked hours on end about some of the weirdest topics lmao. Even when I was a really shit user you saw something in me (no idea what) and helped me become who I am today, thanks.

Scene: Wtf you too you'll always be a tours guy. I remember when I first got tours driver and you joked around telling me to "fail in all future endeavors" :,). Hope uni is going well, and come back some day to talk! Tours room always goes crazy when you visit haha.

Blitzamirin: Another great friend, and knows a lot about me compared to other people. We've talked so much about so many things and have really pulled through these past few months, no matter how shit I was haha. Keep Zodiax happy, you guys are p cool together.

Jin Of The Gale: More like Jin of the Fail wtf, but yes a fellow Indian like myself just be ridiculed. Even still, it's amazing how good you are with policy and modding in general, yet aren't a complete robot in pms. Maybe PO did teach you a thing or two after all.

sirDonovan: What can't do you do lol. One of the most talented guys I know, amazing at coding and pretty much everything else, while also being the nicest person in the whole simulator, haha.

antemortem: Damn I remember how we would just talk about our goals for PS and Smogon and how enthusiastic we were about things, and now look at us! We've come so far and it's been fun, thanks a bunch.

Feliburn: lol I still remember when I walked into tournaments and you took an immediate liking towards me for some reason. You really helped me feel at home here, so thanks a bunch.

Hannahh and Deceived: My first friends in tournaments :,), really guys thanks for everything, I probably wouldn't have stayed if you guys didn't stick with me. It's been great seeing you two move forward with life, just please don't forget what's important.

Wifi:

Cranham: Keep up the great work with the room, and stop getting so down on yourself >:(, just focus on what's important to you, and you'll be great

Rosie_The_Venusaur: You too, keep up the awesome work with wifi. Wifi has been the most stable it's been in the whole year that I've been here, and it's great to see that. The room is flourishing under you and Cran, so keep doing what you're doing.

The Immortal: Shit man, you're about as old as me when it comes to wifi auth haha. It's a shame that I had to resign due to lack of time, and you and I may have had our issues in the past, but I'm glad that's all behind us. :)

Darnell: ;___________________________________; come back!! You were one of my first friends on PS and really helped me along the way. I honestly would not be here today if it wasn't for your belief in me, and I honestly truly appreciate it.

Angeela: Wtf idk how you've put up with my idiocy so long. You've been super committed to wifi and one of the purest people I know when it comes to helping out, keep wifi in check for me while I'm gone, ok?

Skitty: You're pretty new when it comes to wifi auth and I met you through TQ, but I cba to make a global section. Regardless, you were probably one of my first real friends on PS, and you dealt with all of my retarded suggestions back when we were voice. I still remember when we would discuss our aspirations haha, good times.

Trickster: I still have no idea how we even first met lol, but you're definitely one of the most down to earth people around here, even if you are considered as a nazi mod to some ;_;. Idek who would fill out those discipline appeals with you lmao.

Hairy Toenail: I still remember when I recommended you for voice and you literally got it 2 seconds later haha. You've been a great guy with wifi, keep up the good work on Smogon too, I've noticed you around.

Anto (and TalkTakesTime): jk ur terrible nerd. In all seriousness though, PS isn't the same without you around modding ;_;, we've talked a lot over the past year and I'm glad that we've both improved a lot over the time. Come back soon!!

Scavengers:

ashiemore: You're doing great with scavengers while I've been really busy lately, keep up the amazing work and don't ever become lazy like I did! Haha

Queez: I know you'll do a great job leading the room in my stead, you've always had a knack for fixing things. Sorry for getting so busy all of a sudden :(.

Xylen: Idc if you're Smogon mod you'll still be a scavengers guy to me, regardless keep up the good work everywhere and stop giggling so much god.

uu iz da shizzle: Another one of my first friends alongside Darnell. Those hp ice electrikes worked out quite well, wouldn't you say?

Smogon People and others:

Minus: Probably my first Smogon related friend, and the guy who really motivated me to get involved with the community somehow. It was cool how similar we were, and it made me realize that there's likable people around here as well, and it wasn't as elitist as I thought. Thanks from bringing me in Cow shit, you Untelangana fuck.

Quarkz: Pro htmler, it's been a ton of fun working with you. Approving/checking htmls has been really fun, and I feel myself improving in that area as well with your help. It feels good to be considered HTML QC, haha.

Redew: Another really cool guy who's great to talk to. I know things have been tough for you lately but we just gotta stick in there, you're another guy who made me feel at home on Smogon.

unfixable: Stop being so down on yourself wtf, you're a great contributor to OMs, so stop worrying so much and just relax, everything will work out in the end haha.

f(x): Pro arter, really cool girl to talk to and really talented as well. Glad I got a friend to undelete my trade thread so I can get this 1k out of the way now lol.

Montsegur: Pretty chill guy who's taught me some things about the competitive side of Smogon, PSPL and making fun of Feli will always be fun.

Sapphire.: I still don't know why you trusted me way back when haha, but it's been fun talking with you. We don't talk much nowadays though because you refuse to get on PS/IRC >:(

MattL: This guy is pro at policy work, and its actually really fun to have someone to talk to about online Pokemon games and hacked roms, I feel like nobody else plays them lmao.

Nova: hehe bwoi

I'm definitely forgetting a few people but oh well, hope you guys understand haha.

There you go are you all HAPPY now you better be

Winner: Gargoyle31
Second place: social netwerk
Third place: iap
Consolation prize to: Mr. Wan, Chupps
Solution: porygon2, noctowl, 379

Questions...
1) F?5N -QF? ?+6! ?H?? F?6R 69?W is the Wonder Mail code for this Pokemon in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
2) [Psywaves Question: Answer is a Pokemon] Tap + Drying Apparatus
3) You entered the Power Course of the Pokeathlon with your team of Hitmonchan; Luxio; and Hippowdon. Overall you broke 69 blocks in Block Smash; a maximum score in Circle Push and scored 0 goals in Goal Roll (and got fourth place). Hitmonchan got the No-Miss Bonus for Block Smash and Hippowdon got it for Circle Push. Your team did not receive a Leading Score Bonus but Luxio got the Effort Bonus. While taking into account for all of the various bonuses and scores for the three events how many Athlete Points did you earn from this course?

Explanations...

2) Knock + Towel
3) 69 [Block Smash] + 10 [No-Miss Bonus] + 10 [No-Miss Bonus] + 10 [Effort Bonus] + 22 [Challenge Bonus] + 198 [Circle Push] + 60 [Goal Roll] = 379

Edit: Apparently Q3's Challenge Bonus was calculated with the maximum performance stats instead of the base performance stats, but that didn't seem to trouble anyone until after the hunt and people were able to get the answer regardless.

Thanks to ashiemore for hosting! n_n

Addendum to the above: kingler was also a valid answer to 2, which I missed. Ironically, if I'd made the question about the pokemon name (Pinsir) instead, there wouldn't have been a problem, since kingler and scizor are both the pincer pokemon.
