The ASB Summer Xmas Tree 2007!

[Chris 2.1]

Its name was in Pink when it hatched. It's a female Togepi.

[darktyranitar]

Thanks MLG

[Blademaster]

The Tree comes down in less than a week... Doesn't anybody have any gifts left to give?

...

Well, I do!

Hyperness: Valentina (Kirlia [F]) finally fell in her Gym Battle, so she's all yours. Please feel free to rename her, as I could never find a Mario name that quite suited her. She was part of my initial four, so please take good care of her.

Recipients
-Elec Man EXE
-Toxicity

Gifts
-Grimer
-Croagunk
-Porygon

(shamanic voice)

"Nate.... Lau... ra... The Tree dies... All of your chances for gifts die, too... You have little left in both time and options...

Hurry...

Hurry........"




A million points to anyone who gets the reference I just made.

[Toxicity]

Wait, wait, wait...I go on hiatus due to readjusting to new abode and I miss out on fun? And two prezzies?

Faiz, I really appreciate the Vulpix you have given me. I may already have a Charmeleon under my wing, but Vulpix has always been and forever will be a favorite of mine. I'll treat her with the utmost love, and if I could, I'd somehow repay you, but I'm not sure how I could except maybe do as you have wanted me to do for so long and start writing again. And I bet I might include Kirei somewhere along the line. ^~

And I can see I obviously missed out on the delicious offerings Blade had going. *pauses and thinks* Here's me guessing that the reference is towards something in the Paper Mario trilogy (loved the original but can't find my copy; same with the second; never played Super) and I guess I can have Grimer pretty please?

(and now that I'm practically settled down and currently not too busy, I am gonna be serious about my mentioned come-back. srsly)

[Greyfox]

Where'd you end up moving to, Laura, if you don't mind me asking...

And so I look important, I've decided to give River back her Camerupt. Sorry' River (and Mega Horny), but I really can't see myself using him - especially since my team is so large...

[Toxicity]

Where'd you end up moving to, Laura, if you don't mind me asking...

Everybody I know that has done their research or has remembered what I said calls it merely "the ghetto." More specifically, in the Gadsden neck of the woods.

[Blademaster]

Dear, sweet Laura... Do you honestly think that they'd refer to death in any Mario game? Even in SPM, it's only referred to as 'one's game being over.'

No, that phrase is based off of a phrase spoken by Hakunin in Fallout 2 - if you take too long to complete the game, he starts speaking to you in your dreams. That phrase was the fourth (and final) time he speaks to you before you either fail the game and it ends, or you succeed and return where you started, but everyone except Hakunin is either dead or capture.

The exact monologue goes like this:


"Chosen...? Cho...sen...? Can you... hear me...? The village dies... All of our futures die, too... We have little left in both time and essence...


Hurry...


Hurry........"

Recipients
-Elec Man EXE

Gifts
-Croagunk
-Porygon

Anyway, enjoy your new Grimer (M), Laura. Merry Summermas! ^_^

Now, where I live, the Tree comes down in 2 days, 1 hour, 51 minutes, and 34 seconds... So, since Nate is nowhere to be seen, does anyone know which Pokemon he'd likely want more?

Croagunk...

Porygon...

He'll take one; I'll take the other.

Any ideas?

[Knight of Time]

I haven't seen much of Elec Man EXE since my battle with him finished...maybe it would be best for you to either keep both of the remaining Pokemon, or let someone else have one of them if you still want to give one of them away. I wish I could give you one myself, but since I'm broke and unable to buy a Pokemon I'd want to give someone else, that will have to wait until six months from now (if I ever get the chance).

[Mega Horny]

River, if you don't want Camerupt, I'll take it back. I like him, I just thought Drew would appreciate him more, seeing as he practically begged me for a ground type.

[The_Missing_Link]

Ok, I'm giving two points to the following people who have successfully given gifts to me or those who were turned away by my extreme pickiness

- TBA
- MLG
- Grey
- Blademaster
- darktyranitar


If I forgot anyone, speak up (I'll need to see a proof of post though)

[Mega Horny]

If I forgot anyone, speak up (I'll need to see a proof of post though)[/color]

*raises hand meekly*

Remember that time I posted sketchy links in the bank thread and you gave me negative points? Does that count as extreme pickiness? ^_^;;;

...Or was that just me being a doofus...probably the latter.

[darktyranitar]

Wow, two points... thanks, Becca

Well... I suppose I am the 'turned away'... but really, I'm asking for subref for that match because I felt that I'm taking WAY too long to ref it - and will probably take much longer to finish the whole reffing.

Once again, thanks for the points!

[Blademaster]

I wish I could give you one myself, but since I'm broke and unable to buy a Pokemon I'd want to give someone else, that will have to wait until six months from now (if I ever get the chance).

Thanks for the offer, Kyle, but as I said before...


PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME ANYMORE POKEMON! I TRULY APPRECIATE ALL THE GIFTS, BUT IF YOU INSIST ON GIVING ME SOMETHING, I NEED POINTS MORE!


...OK? Thanks.

Speaking of points, thanks for the 2 points, Becca!

Oh, and spare Camerupt going around... (whistles innocently)

[The Blue Avenger]

Hey, thanks, Becca!

[Greyfox]

Indeed, Becca, thank-you for the points. Take care of... Arbiter... *sigh*

In other news, Grey has a new computer now! Huzzah!

EDIT: As for River's Camerupt, she told me on MSN that if I decided against keeping him, she'd prefer me to give it back to her...

-Grey

[Blademaster]

Aw, damn it... Oh, well... Back to training for you, Joe Camel.

Numel: (looks pissed off)

Quit bitching - you have it easier than I do.

Now, as for my last two Pokemon up for offering...

Well, I'll worry about that later. Right now, though...

The Tree's almost over, folks! Let's get it up to 300 posts! Come on, who's with me!?

[Chris 2.1]

TBA, TML + River: You each get 2 points. Becca, Jeff, you're fantastic mods and I appreciate all your hard work. River you make my banners and don't mind when I hate them . Thanks you three.

[The Blue Avenger]

Thanks, Chris. ^^

[The_Missing_Link]

Grey, if you want me to change the name, give me a shorter one that I can easily type out. Nebuch doesn't cut it

Thanks, Chris

[Greyfox]

No worries, Becca. His name's fine, I'm just giving you a hard time...

*muses over the idea of catching a pokémon and naming her "Missing Link"*

-Grey

[Blademaster]

Aaaaaaaaand that makes 300 posts! W00t!

Now, since nobody has YET advised me on what Nate might like more, and I wanna trim my team as much as possible... A LITTLE HELP, PLEASE!!!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Thanks Becca. Honestly. Sorry about the Gengar.

[Chris 2.1]

I think Nate would like the Porygon.

[Blademaster]

FINALLY, SOMEONE GAVE ME AN ANSWER!!!

OK, that's 1 vote for Porygon. And the deadline is less than 33 hours away.

Anybody else?

[The_Missing_Link]

I also say Porygon. Very versatile

[The Blue Avenger]

I'll go Porygon as well, because Porygon-Z can be killer.

There ya go, Blade, three out of three mods agree - give 'em the Porygon.

[Blademaster]

Eh... I dunno... I mean, Chris said Nate would prob'ly like Porygon, whereas you two just said it's really strong/versatile.

Doesn't anybody in ASB know this guy? Where the heck is he, and how do I talk to him?

...

OK, OK, screw it. I'll more than likely give him the Porygon and hold onto the Croagunk for now... Worst-case scenario is that he wanted Croagunk instead, but we could just trade then... I dunno. I'll figure it out later. Right now, I need a nap.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ciao.

[darktyranitar]

Ciao, Blade.

Now... I don't know if I should give out the points to DarkestLight for subreffing my match (not to sure where the points goes to; nonetheless, thanks man!), but...

Hyperness: I forgot if you have a Mr Mime or not... anyway, here's a Mr Mime. It's a she (nah, just kidding), and currently not nicknamed. Feel free to give one to him.

[Blademaster]

I assume that the Tree ends at midnight tonight, Greenwich Meridian Time... That means I have 2 more gifts to give and just over fourteen hours to give them in.

OK, screw it.


Elec Man Exe: You get a Porygon(N) just because I feel like giving you something. Enjoy, and pardon the half-assery in my giving spirit.


As for the Croagunk, I'm gonna use a random number generator to figure out who to give that guy to. However many people there are in ASB, I'll number you all, randomize, and whoever's number comes up gets the Croagunk and has a week to claim it. If he isn't claimed, a new number will be randomized, and so on and so forth. Think of it like an ASB lottery!

Good luck!

(goes to bed)

[Greyfox]

But after a week's time, the tree will be gone, and you won't be able to give said croagunk to anyone.

-Grey

[Pichu Luver]

Yeah sorry MH and Blade, I'd prefer to have him back. So thanks Grey, to bad he couldn't work on your team but I'm sure I'll enjoy have my Kung Fu camel back ^^.

And thanks Chris, the points will come in handy. ^^ BTW, is that why you wanted a whole new banner after the island one? *snerk* Never knew . . . ^^' *lols*

[Charles Legend]

*Teleports (using cannonball 26) into Dave's room and takes the ball with Crogunk in it off his belt, then Teleports to the Approval tower with it...*

LOL I wish but I'd most likely get turned down because I stole it instead of Receiving it... besides I seem to recall telling you I had no Poison types and you told me over MSN that if no one wanted it (or Grimer for that mater) I could have it...

*Glares at Drew's Lucario, and curses under his breath about not having a ref for my gym match where my Riolu is at the moment...*

*Falls over from lack of sleep and accidentally knocks the dieing tree over crushing Chris under it and then watches as he uses his Mod powers to become an ubber powerful Magmortar and gets fried by his Double flamethrower attack...*

*coughs* Here Chris if you don't delete this post I well give you my female Drifloon, who I named Deathly Hollows...

~Charles Legend

[Chris 2.1]

Charles that's very kind; I've had my eye on this Pokemon. I'll leave the tree open a couple more days but the egg promotion has now finished.

[Blademaster]

I don't believe this...

I used the random number generator; the number that came up was 4.

In ABC order, this is the current list of ASB Bank accounts:


1. Ace64
2. Aide
3. Andrew
4. Blademaster


That's right... *I* get the Croagunk. After all that hassle...

OK, so let's remove my name from the list; who immediately follows me?

.....................

Charles...... Legend......

...

...

...

OK, this is either a Hell of a coincidence, or Charlie has been screwing with the random number generator.

Well, either way, a promise is a promise. The random number generator has spoken, so...

Croagunk (M), no nickname...

You got your wish after all, Charlie... You greedy little meis... Er, I mean, uh, congratulations!

Anyway, that's all the gifts I can afford to give, so... I guess that's it. I'm gonna be stingy and keep the 13 Pokemon and the 7 points I have left, kthnxbai!

(runs off with a hoard of Poke Balls and points in his arms)

...BTW, does anybody know what points actually *look* like? o.o

[darktyranitar]

Wait, so the Tree is still opened? Hm...

And I imagine that points look something like coins. Or maybe chips. Yeah, chips.

[Chris 2.1]

Oh yea close the tree -_-;;

Thanks for a great successful Tree everyone! Can't wait till the Xmassy one!!


Ps Points are donut shaped. Duuh.
