Since this is the finals there will be no deadline, but if i see that matches aren't at least scheduled within a week i will force subs. We all enjoy watching a couple of battles, so it would be nice if you could post the times you schedule in here and announce the battles in the #ruinsofalph channel on IRC. In case of a tie between two teams there will be a Bo5 tiebreaker series of one match from every gen respectively. When this happens the managers can pick their battlers for the tiebreaker.

Good luck to all participants!

I like it.

Seeing both my opponents frequently on PO.

 

[MoxieInfinite]

flip the players in the 3rd bracket, theyre under wrong teams

 

[Disaster Area]

lol literally my 2 opps are on right now, we all see eachother often, it should be easy to get them done (but harder to win them ;) )
marcoasd's response to the news is to post me a youtube video about a 2 captains communicating about a boat sinking that has literally no relevance to anything as far as I can make out. ;-; lol

Relevance is the quote "I will cause you a boatload of troubles"= le faccio passare l'ANIMADEIGUAI, loool!

I'm not happy. I sent a single lineup before Week 5 had finished, and I wasn't told beforehand about there being two different matchups this week.

I asked Bedschibaer and I was allowed to change my matchup vs Umbreons, so I'm assuming you can as well.

You sent me your lineup before you even knew who you were playing for the finals

 

[Lavos]

yes obviously this would have been better if my teammates had actually played their matches, blah blah round robin is utilitarian we get it

contacted my opponents, hoping for some clean games

 

[Lutra]

Okay, I was just upset because I thought Infernapes were getting an unfair advantage with them having a different lineup against Umbreons. It's a comfort for me knowing that I did everything I could to win this - by playing the switch the spots game, which is about taking into account the risks if there's a different in skill levels and predicting the other manager's choices. But of course, managers don't have perfect knowledge of the matchups between players, skill level differences etc, so some of the choices may as well be superstitious.

I will accept no changes to Laprases' lineup versus Umbreons. It seems acceptable and I'm not going to pretend I can do a great play with switching the spots, taking into account Infernapes' attempts to increase their lead over Umbreons (e.g. betting on their great player to win against the one on the other team). I will trust in the players I selected... to do the best they feel they are able to do.

 

[Disaster Area]

I've got faith in all my players. The plays we make will be as elegant as Shakespeares and a hell of a lot less boring than Arthur Miller's <.< #Umbreons

 

[magic9mushroom]

Mizuhime and I are playing at 2 AM Wednesday (GMT).

 

[Isa]

Lost vs. Piexplode. RIP

[Disaster Area]

[marcoasd]

[pokebasket]

Contacted opponents

Hot N Cold pokebasket pm me on irc to schedule a time

 

[magic9mushroom]

Lost to marcoasd, GG and sorry team.

Side note: For a spectator to use the match chat to converse with one of the players in a language the other doesn't understand is pretty fucking rude. If you're going to speak in a language I don't understand, PM them; don't rub my face in it.

 

[marcoasd]

Confirm, gg.

 

[Vinc2612]

In contact with both opponents, playing next weekend

So I'm not the only RBY player who doesn't understand italian?!

 

[magic9mushroom]

So I'm not the only RBY player who doesn't understand italian?!

Indeed not.

And I mean I've got nothing against people speaking other languages in this community. But using a language only two of three people in a conversation understand, when there's a common tongue available, verges on ostracism.

 

[Disaster Area]

If you play against marco more u seem to just become used to it ;-; I agree with what you're saying, I think I've just grown used to that peculiarity.

 

[Lutra]

I don't think that language issue is that bad because it isn't like sound that's very hard to avoid, arouses you and inevitable makes you exhausted and angry. There's an ignore spectators feature on PO if you habit of reading too much of the chat.

I think people who learn english as a native language should appreciate how it's used as a lingua franca, and imagine if another language was the standard for the biggest competitive pokemon communities. I find it frustrating enough when someone talks to me in spanish or portuguese on PO and I have to use google translate, and sometimes it's hard to understand because of the grammar. I also don't know with 100% what I'm saying back is correct. And you know what it's like listening to italians try to talk english when they don't know it well enough, it's not easy on the ears, even when reading it :p
