awe crap, I have to get good again.

I've been on mIRC about every day lately.

Oh well, back to Pokemoning =]. Gotta win me some matches.


{edit} played zerowing. I played horribly, imo, but held him off until zapdos got lucky with a ch t-bolt and i scraped by the 3-0 win. Yay zapdos *cough*
 
The deadline will be this Sunday, the 11th. If someone on your team is not able to get their battles done, get a sub in as soon as possible or you will lose points at the deadline.
 
just checking back in for an update. it seems zerowing is attempting to get his battles done. i dont know what skarm is up to. mekkah and i still need to battle...eventually. sorry for the delay, i randomly went down the shore for a week.
 
wrong, I got on a bunch of times, but I guess we missed each other jackal. Anyway you can sub me out, I don't pokemon that much I guess.
 
Jesus....

I was up 5-3 (Loki had a sleeping 24% zam, 72% health golem, and a 23% health agility'd dragonite against my full health gengar, 2 more full-health pokemon, and 2 pokemon with 60%+health but paralyzed).

I switched Gengar in to take the wrap on draggy. In last-ditch efforts, he used Blizzard, and froze Gengar. He then proceeded on going on a Wrap-a-thon, killed two of my pokemon. Thankfully, Wrap missed after sending my pokemon to near-death health, and I could kill the fucker, winning the game.

GG, man. Damn freeze =].
 
heh yeah that freeze on gengar was clutch, gg though it was a pretty intense few turns there.
 
great, one more battle to go. if jmc beats goof, team green ties team ugly. also, everything has been updated with the points!
 
if the remaining two don't get their shit done by tomorrow, just flip a coin or something, this is fucking ridiculous.
 
Woah this has dragged, great tourney too =/


Dont most people go to IRC or Shoddy now? The odd trip to NetBattle now and again.
 
This tournament is pretty epic, seeing all the retired netbattle players coming back for it makes me giggle.

I'd hate to see this die, netbattle > shoddy. :(
 
wait...i dont understand. why did you just randomly dq people who have been active for no reason? either just end the tourney or let them battle. what you did isn't very fair.
 
Obviously because I set a deadline? And the people I dqed were inactive, or their opponent was more active than they were.
 
I understand that this tournament has a lot of history GP but people simply (including myself) didnt put forth full effort to get this tournament done. I think its fair what FM did, its better than having it linger for more days/weeks.

and in my case vs skarm, I was already out of contension I believe to move on.. so it made more sense to get him the win over me.

btw when will next round pairings be up? Good luck to the rest left in this tourney.
 
sure it does. deadline came and the person who was less active was disqualified.

anyway, all battles were completed i guess... round 2 should be coming soon fm?
 
I'm seriously thinking about waiting till competitor to come out to release round 2, this way I can add DP into the mix, which I'm sure will give this tourney the boost of attention it needs.

How was I any less active than anyone else? I actively looked for my opponents and even posted that I was. I post everyday, am on irc everyday, yet supposedly I am less active? Please tell me how you determine activity, who is active and who is not.

skarm was around just as much as Warthog and p_p, maybe even less, but he was advanced over those two. If you were going to randomly dq people like that why would I even bother trying to battle? GP's dq doesn't make sense, Mekkah hasn't logged in since the 13th, but somehow he is more active at the deadline than GP who is logged in everyday?

Just look at Cradily Division, somehow Justin will be participating in the next round?

I don't like to criticize people and their tournaments, but this was really poorly run with random deadlines, random dqs, and even the host disappeared for a bit. Congrats.
 
Are you kidding me? Don't post in my thread if you're going to say absolutely baseless and untrue shit like this. First of all, I've seen you on netbattle one time in my entire life, and that's when you played JMC. I could also probably count on one hand how many times I've seen you on IRC. Not to mention you also went on vacation or whatever without trying to set up battle dates, which wouldn't be that fucking hard seeing as Loki and Goofball are on EVERY SINGLE DAY on IRC and Netbattle. I honestly don't see how you can possibly complain. Warthog was out for over a week during the timespan between when round 1 started, and the deadline. I have not seen peter_pan ONCE after he posted in this thread. Also, the only win Justin got by deadline was against Lexay, and Lexay dissapeared after getting his first battle done, get your fucking facts straight. I couldn't give two shits how many days in a row GP is logged in as well, it's not that damn hard to get a hold of Mekkah who is also on IRC every single day. Let's see what else you managed to complain about... I left to go on a short vacation, yeah, and I left the managing of the tournament up to G80 who gladly accepted. I really didn't have to worry about everyone getting their battles done by the time I got back though, did I? I ran this tournament poorly? I think you're getting it all wrong. The reason this tournament is dying out is because people like you have put all of my efforts in trying to run this to waste by taking your sweet-ass time in getting your battles done, and then you have the audacity to bitch not only about your battles, which are clearly the right decisions, but you complain about every other battle as well. If you're not going to put the effort into getting your battles done, don't expect me to cut you any slack.

And how long were you gone from Smogon, getting a life and no internet? And by the time you came back most if not all reputable servers for NB were down, giving me 0 reason to go on unless I needed to battle for a tournament, which I did. And let me see, I'm on irc now, I was on irc yesterday, the day before, the day before that, hell I can keep going there. And you aren't the one that is on irc all that often iirc.

Not to mention you also went on vacation or whatever without trying to set up battle dates

Not to mention I left for vacation on July 5th, this thread was created on the 9th, thanks, let me set up battle dates before I even know who my opponent is.

Warthog was out for over a week during the timespan between when round 1 started, and the deadline.

And have you spoken to skarm at all? How he no longer cares about Pokemon, etc?

I couldn't give two shits how many days in a row GP is logged in as well, it's not that damn hard to get a hold of Mekkah who is also on IRC every single day.

And let me remind you of your own quote and G80's quote:

"Obviously because I set a deadline? And the people I dqed were inactive, or their opponent was more active than they were." -you

"sure it does. deadline came and the person who was less active was disqualified." -G80

So apparently is doesn't matter who is active at the deadline, because that's how it seems, but these quotes reveal otherwise.

The reason this tournament is dying out is because people like you have put all of my efforts in trying to run this to waste by taking your sweet-ass time in getting your battles done, and then you have the audacity to bitch not only about your battles, which are clearly the right decisions, but you complain about every other battle as well. If you're not going to put the effort into getting your battles done, don't expect me to cut you any slack.

But apparently I am the only one who was never around, didn't want to battle, etc. I have the audacity to complain because the decisions seem baseless, but according to you they were right, so what was the basis of your decisions? Look one page back, goofball would rather let the whole thing die and had to be pestered by G80 to battle just once. I wasn't the only one "not putting effort in," notice how I posted saying I feel terrible and was trying my best to get goofball, JMC, and Loki to battle? I'm pretty sure goofball's, Loki's, JMC's and my lives don't revolve around idling on irc, nb, or what have you waiting for the other to show up. I contacted goofball, he wanted to wait, I barely see Loki active on irc, and JMC is rarely ever on irc, hes off and on for days in my experience. I put effort, and so did others, but maybe we all didn't put enough.

And my shit wasn't baseless and untrue, the facts are sitting right in front of your face.
