hahaha these are some good reasons for drama
also WhiteQueen I'm sorry for destroying you so badly that you need a week on the bench and I realize spouting nonsense is the only thing you're good at but can you stop talking or something

Alright, maybe I'm beating a dead horse here, but the dead horse was dragged to page 10 so I guess it should probably be buried properly sooner or later.
I read some posts a couple pages back that were accusing Randy of being ghosted, but didn't realize they were actually even partially serious until a bit earlier. When I played him, he also took a very long time to make his moves, but I never hit the timer as 1) I would want my opponent to make the best play possible and 2) I know Randy likes to take time to think through his moves. Not once did ghosting ever come to mind. I'd argue that by virtue of him being one of the most modest, honest people you'll ever meet you could determine this, but since that's probably not enough for some people, take it from someone who has played him multiple times online over the course of the last year and a half (and has been beaten by him far more than the contrary.)
On the subject of Youngjake, I'm pretty disappointed overall about that post Laga quoted as it pretty much details exactly what people were hoping doubles wouldn't bring to SPL (from what I can gather, anyways.) Shit like this is probably going to drive people to not want keep any form of doubles (whether it be VGC or Smogdubs) in SPL, which would be a shame for us who actually want to give this a shot. Now, am I a saint that exemplifies this? No, not in the least (I lost my patience a few posts above and made an ill-advised keyboard pirate snip, arr), but take the dose of hypocrisy from someone who's been around and trying to keep doubles moving in the right direction for a while. It really sucks to see something like this happen in the spotlight, and it's especially disappointing having it come from someone who squeaked onto a roster who's trying to promote himself by calling out arguably the best player in Smogdubs.

i think it's great you realised how you lost. part of becoming a better battler is understanding your mistakes. but it sounds from your posts like you're giving your opponent no credit for capitalising on your misplays or even for playing at all... saying 'lost to joim gg' is a pretty obnoxious way of saying the simple thing, posting 'lost' and moving on. imo blingas was not that disrespectful, bc if someone posted this to me i'd post back 10 x lines of 'lolololo'.
part of performing well in tournaments is focused high level thinking which makes it different from whatever fun games you do, and if you are going to make you blundering away a supposedly won position sound like an excuse for losing on par with being haxed terribly like you somehow managed in that post, you should maybe reconsider playing pokemon in tournaments!
Well, from his behaviour to his nicknames passing by insults like "retard" is what I'd call being disrespectful.
I meant no offense, simply I'm sure I was on a winning position on that turn if I had done my first move choices (Scald Bisharp and TR on rachi), so I was upset at myself for choking like a little baby in the middle of the sea and just throwing off the match to the dustbin, thus "lost to Joim", just laughing at my own mistakes (from which I expect to learn).
I didn't want to belittle anyone with my post, I just feel that after that big mistake Blingas had really no way to lose (besides forfeiting or doing weird stuff like switching) as opposite to one turn earlier, he obviously did the right moves after that and thus won, but I still think the main blame is on me, I feel that my missplay weighed more, just that.

This losing to timer case happens every year, and every year it's the same. The team with the timer winner forces their man to take his win because winning is the only thing that matters when it's all said and done. The timer winner is then trashed by his critics, all of whom are teammates and supporters of the timer loser, for being a pussy by taking an easy win. Why would youngjake93 not take an easy win and why should he even care about what the Crys said? Of course they're mad because it's not a man of theirs who wins easily via timeout. Had the situation been reserved, the Crys would force R to take his easy breezy win too. So don't be all self-righteous when you know you would have nailed that hole in a heartbeat if you had the timer winner's opening.
For a player on a team called the "Classiests", youngjake93 showed anything but class by taking an undeserving win. I can understand why the Crys are pissed off at youngjake93 and his classless team. You play Pokemon, emphasis on the word play, not clicking on a timer and having your entire team spam nonsensical bullshit on the server to lag your opponent out and forcing him to lose via timeout. Show some heart and better yet, some sportsmanship. Winning isn't everything, "you talentless, good for nothing, and classless piece of trash."
I rest my case.
