Man Aeolus just PM'd me and was on shoddy. Between me having to switch computers and trying to shoot him a PM, he has logged off :(.
We'll play tomorrow afternoon (his time) I guess.

Someone send me the Jabba vs Taylor log. If Jabba said it was one of his best battles ever, it must've been epic. And also, congrats Metro.
My quick summary:
Taylor had a team advantage; Jabba's double switch and non switch "chances" paid off; Jabba made one "mistake" (not sure about team revealing so don't want to say it here) but it didn't matter in the end; Taylor played too conservatively I thought. Playing intelligently and not taking unnecessary risks is vital, but you have to recognize when your opponent is going to be taking risks, and I feel Taylor didn't account for that.
Also, came down to the last move on the last Pokemon. Truly a great match to watch. I actually thought Jabba had lost on that last turn.

Guys, the only people that are allowed to release the logs are the players themselves if they both agree. I'd rather not have teams revealed (though most of the tourney players were watching anyway...)
Jabba and Taylor will handle it accordingly, rest assured

Damn, no offense to the UK team or anything, but I was really hoping Metro would get eliminated, because I feel they are a bigger threat. Oh well, not like US West would lose to either team anyways. Yes, I am just going to assume we make it to the finals. Asia ain't got shit on us :P
Edit: Go oceania woo! ~_~
I also respect your decision AR to speak openly about your preference for oceania to "go" or more simply put, win.
I would also like to thank you for your contributions to oceania, mainly posts such as these which encourage us to give it our all.
Keep up the good work!
Also I am quite suprised (and a little disappointed, sorry!) with asias comeback, so hat's off to them.

Well done Metro.
Unlucky lads, Who cares if we lost? We still got our fish and chips, and we know deep down that we are the best team, we're just too gentlemanly to not allow other teams to win to make them feel better about themselves.
So congratulations all around.
Looks like I'm rooting for Oceania now.
C'mon you Bruces!

I have made myself as available as I can, and as far as this weekend went, I was never far away. Obi hasn't been active at all for the past few days though, so we didn't end up getting this done. :(
Sorry, I have full internet access back after not being able to do more than get online for a minute or two over the last few days after not getting my match done Thursday night. I see by my PM's that I logged off right when Stallion got on and that is frusturating.
I have sent Stallion a PM to get this done, but I would expect a sub will be needed. I can't linger around all night because I'm getting up for work early and I just can't function on anything less than 8 hours of sleep for my daily life (weekends are a different story, but I just wasn't around a computer more than 5 minutes this weekend).
I told Loki to have a sub ready, if Stallion doesn't get me an answer by 3 PM my timezone I'll just have to be subbed. Even if he does answer I might not be able to stay up that late too, but I'll hold out hope.
Sorry about this delay, these timezones are ugly to deal with, and I didn't feel confident with my team after being scouted last round... and I took a little too long to find a new, comfortable team to play with so it is my own fault.

Looking through my PMs I realize I never sent you a PM. I thought I had, so I was waiting for your response. =(
