What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself: Since I started competitive battling in late 2011 I have never been very good at what seems to be everyone's favorite tier, OU, and have studiously avoided laddering in OU. However, I do enjoy dabbling in most of the tiers and thus feel compelled to take up OU. Hence my application which you are reading now.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Probably, depends on whether I have time (which I should...)

Skipped over in Rounds 67 and 68, and missed Round 69.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 RU
Tell us a little about yourself: Where do I start? I'm quite a few things. RU battler, Japanophile, aikidoka, and of course the leader of the Smogon democratic movement of late 2012. But don't worry, I won't start going political all the time on B101! As far as Pokemon goes, I might need a "test" on the basics of RU, but I've been playing the tier since its conception so I'm pretty advanced, just not formally advanced.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?:Possibly, if I have the time... ka mo shirenai.

I was skipped last round.

P.S. For those of you who thought that I had a penchant for Poké-bestiality due to my last application, I don't, OK? I meant to say I had a douraku about Entei, meaning obsession/strong interest.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the great turnout. As always, some of the time zones were hard to matchup, but we did the best that we could. If you are having issues meeting with your tutee, mention that in your tutee thread, and we'll give you priority next round.

You are required to make a tutee talk thread within one week, no matter if any lessons have taken place or not. You will be subbed out for another applicant if no thread is made.
