"Lets go!"

Cycholm will be holding nothing which I never seem to use and Shelgon will use a Lucky Egg.

Given this is counter-increasing items only, I'm just going to ignore that Sitrus Berry and apply no items to my Pokémon.


"You deserve less to battle in soup than in brothels!"

Christopher the Metagross:
Unown F [Fake Out] Shelgon ~ Ice Punch Cyclohm ~ Ice Punch Cyclohm
If Cyclohm uses Magnet Rise, Ice Punch Shelgon for the remaining actions.

Terrence the Xatu:
Light Screen ~ Unown I [Icicle Crash] Cyclohm ~ Zen Headbutt Cyclohm
If Cyclohm uses Magnet Rise, switch target to Shelgon for the remaining actions

"Lets be a bit tricky."

Zeus' Pet: Unown F (Fake Out) @ Xatu ~ Magnet Rise ~ Flamwthrower @ Metagross

Metal Salamence: Flamethrower @ Metagross ~ Protect ~ Uonwn C (counter) @ Metagross

Well, at least this has given us the ability to add several new rules

Welcome to Unown Soup! Where is this found? That's unknown to me! Christopher's Light Metal shows up, giving his Fake Out a boost to make Metal Salamence flinch (7 Damage / -3 EN). This disintegrates the unown Zeus was leaping for, and he collides into the soup, unable to do anything! Terrence hence sets up a Light Screen (-7 EN)

: 100/97 ~ Light Screen (5a)
: 100/93 ~ Light Screen (5a)

Metal Salamence now Protects (-7 EN) itself as Terrence sends an Icicle to Crash into Zeus (14 Damage / -6 EN), using up the Unown I. Zeus now prepares a Magnet Rise (-5 EN), and floats as Christopher smashes an Ice Punch (17 Damage [-6 EN] / -6 EN) into the shield Metal Salamence has.

: 100/91 ~ Light Screen (4a)
: 100/87 ~ Light Screen (4a)

Terrence now blasts Shelgon with a Zen Headbutt (13 Damage / -5 EN), as Zeus calls upon Mars to smite Christopher with a Critical Hit Flamethrower (22 Damage / -7 EN). Lame puns aside, Christopher uses ANOTHER Ice Punch (17 Damage / -10 EN). However, it seems as if Metal Salamence is glowing with energy, as the C shaped Unown melts into a powder which swirls into a giant fist to Counter Christopher (45 Damage / -21 EN)!

: 33/81 ~ Light Screen (3a)

SQUAWK!

Ummm, I don't know what happened but Zeus' Pet does know magnet rise and flamethrower so why did he struggle? I think you got the actions of my pokemon the wrong way round.

MB is now discovering what happens when you don't specify the mons using each move. You lose.

I didn't get the actions the wrong way round. I refuse to ref actions when I don't know who's using what just by looking at actions. If you can't post coherent actions, then I refuse to babysit you. Now then, less stalling and more actions please :-)

I forfeit.

Hmm... I think this is a blatant abuse of the forfeit system to prevent Alch from gaining counters and so that you can free up a slot in a ragequit. Hence, I am treating this for Alch as if this had gone on 2 rounds for the sake of Alch's actions.

Alch gains 2 TC and 3 MC on both mons.

I claim nothing, since less than 2 rounds have passed and although I'll help others I'm perfectly fine to miss out myself.

MB gains nothing, and I will be alerting DK to the blatant abuse of forfeiting here.

Yeah, give alch the counters. He deserves them. Sorry alch, just with all of the stuff going on in my life at the moment I have short patience.

And dogfish, alert me to DK then, it's your fault I'm forfeiting so why don't I alert you to DK for not giving an inoccent player benifit of the doubt. What did I do to you to get me on your bad side anyway?!?! I would swear but I don't think someone this disrespectful to someone who just want's to enjoy himself deserves my anger.

For the sake of time and getting off topic, I'm going to lock the thread.

Metal Bagon, the decision to forfeit in this circumstance is not the correct one. A better alternative is to simply get a second opinion from the head referee, Flora (or Deck), if you disagree with this decision. She will then be able to overturn or reinforce the reffing, and then you move on from there. If you still continue to forfeit after Flora's decision, there will be consequences.

I will re-open this once a decision has been made.

Well, in the first place, This didn't even go two rounds in the first place so lol @ forfeiting w/ counters. Nobody is getting jack from this travesty.

In any case, dogfish shouldn't have reffed without knowing which mon was using which move, though if he weren't purposefully being an ass to MB, he'd have just looked at the movepools, figured it out, and told MB in a VM not to forget to put his moves.

Blatant abuse my ass. This whole thread is full of stupid.

Metal Bagon: Edit in the mons using the moves in your first post, and make sure to mention them each post. Also don't forfeit at the drop of the hat, VM me if something like this happens, you aren't second class in any battle just because you aren't reffing it.

dogfish: There are better ways to instruct people then to waste your time reffing a round you know will upset one of the players because you blatantly, deliberately decided to feign stupidity in interpreting a trainer's attacks. Re-ref the round after MB edits in the mons using the attacks.

Actions edited. I'd like to apoligise to Deck Knight and Darkslay for wasting your time. Also to Dogfish for not being more clear and overreacting a little bit. And last but certainly not least Alchemator, for starting this mess in the first place.

Oh, I figured out what was using what. However, I have a personal reffing code that says that if someone isn't giving coherent orders, they use Struggle - It's unbiased more than checking IMHO (Although my interpretation was just as valid under current rulings, feel free to add a change to the rulings on not posting the Mons to be issuing orders and the rules on forfeiting like so, which I feel have been unfairly avoided). I also have a dislike for being insulted over a style of reffing, much like I'd dislike being insulted for my political views.

Metal Bagon: I openly admit that my decision was harsh and probably cruel to the point of being unnecessary. DK is right in the fact that you should have contacted him, but I hope you understand why I reffed as I originally did. I hold no person grudge against you, although I am easily irritated (as the Hypocrite I can be) by small things. You have no reason to apologise for anything.

REREFFED ABOVE

Now can we end this issue and move on?

Metal Bagon to order.
Alch to order.

"Light Metal, yawn."

Metal Salamence: Flamethrower + Unown V (Vacumme Wave) Combo @ Metagross ~ combo cooldown ~ Crunch @ Xatu
SUB: IF Metagross uses Protect A1, THEN, use Crunch @ Xatu and push all actions back.
Zeus' Pet: Discharge ~ Rain Dance ~ Thunder @ Xatu
SUB: IF Metagross uses Protect A1, THEN use Rain Dance A1 and Thunder @ metagross A2 instead.

PS: If anything is not understandable, please allow me to re-order to prevent further conflict.

"Don't think that we are done yet!"

Christopher the Metagross: Evasive Agility [the combo] ~ Ice Punch + Ice Punch Zeus' Pet ~ Cool

Terrence the Xatu: Psychic + Unown P [Psystrike] Zeus' Pet ~ Cool ~ Protect

Actually MB, can I please have confirmation on the target of the Flamethrower + Vacuum Wave combo?

Psychic + Unown P [Psystrike] (Cyclohm) ~ Protect



Christopher wants this round to begin with cheap tactics, using an Evasive Agility (-6 EN) to spin around the soup as an angry looking Shelgon fires a brilliant combo of Vacuum Wave and Flamethrower (-15 EN) at the foe... only for it to go right overhead! Zeus, however, launches a more arena-effective attack, hitting everyone, even the dodging android (6 Damage Christopher / 9 Damage Metal Salamence / 11 Damage Terrence / -5 EN)! Feeling releived for Light screen and surprised by the lack of paralysis, Terrence glares at Zeus, and mentally smites her with a Psychic + Psystrike combo (22 Damage / -19 EN).

: 27/75 ~ Light Screen (2a)
: 89/63 ~ Light Screen (2a)

Terrence and Matal Salamence now both need to recover from their combos, so Zeus makes it a miserable recovery with a Rain Dance (-9 EN). Christopher is slightly more active though, with a nasty combo of 2 Ice Punches (29 Damage / -32 EN)

: 27/43 ~ Light Screen (1a)
: 89/63 ~ Light Screen (1a)

Christopher is now unable to act, but Terrence erects a Protect quite easily (-7 EN). Zeus launches a Thunder at Xatu... which ignores the protect completely (20 Damage / -7 EN)! However, the Crunch (12 Damage [-4 EN] / -6 EN) is slightly easier to deflect for the bird.

: 27/43
: 69/52

Well that was super-fun.

Christopher the Metagross: Double Edge + Ice Punch Cyclohm ~ Cool ~ Bullet Punch Cyclohm

Terrence the Xatu: Light Screen ~ Psychic Cyclohm ~ Psychic Cyclohm
If Cyclohm attempts to use Slack Off A1, change A1 to Unown T [Taunt] and push actions down.

"Not good, not good at all! At least combo's have negative prioity though."

Cycholm: Unown T (Torment) @ Xatu ~ Signal Beam x2 combo @ Metagross
Shelgon: Protect @ Cycholm ~ Hyrdro Pump @ Metagross ~ Unown D (Discharge)

I'mm playing a dangerous game, lets just hope it pays off.

Why can you still Protect a teammate when Bodyblock is implemented? Sounds rather pointless.

E: You seem to have missed my point.

Cycholm has a larger size class then Shelgon, so it would fail.

EDIT: It's legal and that's what matters.

Alch and Metal Bagon are bickering over mechanics now, as Terrence resets a Light Screen (-7 EN). Zeus is sick of this, and crushes an unown T and Torments (-10 EN) Terrence... but Magic Bounce sends it back! Laughing and Crying, Metal Salamence does a barrel roll to Protect (-7 EN) Zeus. Useful really, as Christopher smashes towards Zeus with a Double Edge + Ice Punch combo (-24 EN), which slams into the shield, draining MS's EN (-13 EN).

: 27/19 ~ Light Screen (5a)
: 69/45 ~ Light Screen (5a)

Terrence now uses a Psychic power to fling the actually quite heavy Cloud around (13 Damage / -5 EN). Metal Salamence now sprays a huge Hydro Pump into Metagross (7 Damage / -8 EN). As MS swears at the Light Screen, Zeus's Pet breaks through with a Critical Hit on a Super Signal Beam combo (23 Damage / -32 EN), neatly KOing.

: 0/0 ~ KOed
: 69/45 ~ Light Screen (4a)

Terrence suddenly feels somewhat irked by the crit and lacking in help as he gives the cloud another Psychuc jolt (13 Damage / -9 EN). MS now takes the Unown D, and Discharges, doing minor damage to both fighters left (9 Damage Terrence / 4 Damage Zeus / -6 EN), but Paralysing Zeus! This could STILL go either way after a haxy round!
