Dear stoppable1,

How can you talk about achievements when you have to act fish players that aren't SV OU players to avoid elimination in swiss?

Curious,
quacc

Also I'm obliged to add context, this was said to me yesterday by mr. Unstoppable1 himself in a Live OU room tour where the winner of the grand prize can get a CA upon other things.. As fate would have it, a round or two before finals, I had the opportunity to prove said Mr. to actually indeed be stoppable, here's how it went; https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2444699040

Afterwards, I went on to win the tour as well, but I kept wondering, how could someone say that to me when I had the honour to defend my country this year in WCOP after being subbed in last minute to still go 1-1 in the end, this can be fact checked on the official sheet.

To my surprise I could not find Mr. Stoppable1 on said sheet.

So how can someone mention achievements if theirs is qualifying for OLT Swiss just to go out like this lol. The only win they were capable of getting was by counter teaming a young honest TR enjoyer new to the tour scene too.

Funny.

As the TR enjoyer mentioned here i can confirm if we fought again id beat his ass also to add more context i was busy as fuck week 1 of swiss so i just used the first 2 teams i had in builder
 
"Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.

I am done with competitive Pokemon, and you won't get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance.

One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment.
 
requesting extension, we scheduled for 8pm +2 Tuesday
Extension please, we rescheduled for 1pm -4 Tuesday
I would normally be more against this because it makes future rounds of Swiss more complicated. But given that it's the last round and half the round won't be played until later I guess it's fine.

requesting extension, scheduled for 9pm+2 monday
requesting extension, we scheduled for 5pm -4 monday

I'm just going to be very annoyed if all of these don't get completed exactly on time now.
