It's somewhat unfair that we have to fight to avoid being DQd.

And besides, 40 MC is more than enough to max for most relevant moves. At that movecount, skill matters much more than 2, 3 extra moves.

Also, how strict are DQs, can we call DQs on opponents?

EspyOwner · Mar 7th, 2013, 6:18:46 AM

You are allowed to call DQ on your opponent, but please give them one or two days extra at least once if they ask for it.

C$FP · Mar 7th, 2013, 10:57:39 AM

woooo I guess I don't have to worry about this while I'm away (unless the first round gets done within like 10 days, lol)

Orcinus Duo · Mar 10th, 2013, 9:36:05 AM

Can we pretty please add a function where we can swap items but not pokemon please damnit

Under the current rules, since mostly everyone is going to have a decent team of pokemon by the time they reach semis, if you had good items you have a big advantage

Proposal thus:
-You may choose to swap pokemon, but items are retained
-You may choose to swap equipped items
You may only choose one of the two

This gives people an inkling of control over their held items

Thanks

Just to explain a bit more (I'm not very good at explaining)

...

TO THOSE THINKING OH FACTORY DOESN'T DO THIS WHY SHOULD WE
21:55 orcinus in factory, pokemon actually had relevant items
21:55 orcinus so it was okay
21:55 orcinus in this, we don't

EspyOwner · Mar 11th, 2013, 11:38:22 AM

[11:36] <EspyOwner> no

I want a bit more randomness in this, if we ever do this again I'll assign items to each Pokemon instead of letting people choose from a pool.

requires subref

Galladiator · Apr 5th, 2013, 5:28:10 PM

This also needs a subref, while we're on the subject.

Will subref Texas and Galladiator. Round should be up still today.

Yarnus of Bethany · Apr 8th, 2013, 9:06:16 PM

I need a sub-ref for my battle vs Lucarioisawesome.

I called DQ a day ago; all you need to do is to confirm that he's over DQ by a lot.

Orcinus Duo · Apr 14th, 2013, 3:44:47 AM

Leethoof bro where are you

Leethoof · Apr 14th, 2013, 5:26:34 AM

heres the plan - somebody does all the calcs and formatting for me since i cant do that on phone, i write a bunch of flavor (perhaps even multiple posts do to phone char limit), and then a mod so kindly merges them all prettily because i love them

EDIT: err it just occured to me i could pm flavor to the subref...bottom line we need one pm me

TheWolfe · Apr 16th, 2013, 6:39:15 PM

To help speed things up for the Battle Factory Tournament, I am offering my (sub)reffing services. If there's any matches that need to be taken care of, send them my way. I can take up to 1-2 right now, but I'm pretty quick with them.

And don't worry about flavor - I got that handled. :]

Wolfe you're takin mine

Confirming I'm taking the match. I'm about halfway into it last night, so I should get it up later today or tomorrow the latest. ^^

EspyOwner · Apr 24th, 2013, 7:44:56 PM

If your match is not finished by May 1st at 11:59pm EST I will be enforcing a strict DQ time of 3 days. We need this tournament to move. If you are a battler and you do not give orders within the 3 day period given to you, you will be disqualified.

Just for clarification, the requirements are that you ORDER WITHIN DQ. If this round extends into June, I will be lowering the DQ to two days. Please don't make that happen. :>
