OzAndrew's April-Esque Cafe of Corruption, Bitchiness & Crying Children (Chat Thread)

[Chris 2.1]

We are expecting to launch DP on May 1st. This will include:

-The Attack List V2

-The DP Giveaway

-New Safari Zone areas and DP Pokemon available in current zones

-DP Pokemon available for catching in the Approval Tower

-Current Pokemon can evolve into new DP forms (Roselia, Electabuzz, etc)

-Current Pokemon with new pre-evolutions cannot be caught at the Approval Tower (Roselia, Chimecho, Sudowoodo, Mr Mime, Mantine, Chansey, Snorlax, etc)

-DP Pokemon can hatch from Eggs (also some new Egg Groups will be introduced)



And much more. We are also going to be introducing Hidden Power into ASB and looking over all old attacks to make it concise and accurate!

[Elec Man EXE]

May 1st, eh? Well, I guess I won't be gone after all then. But I'll still probably be less active since either way I'll be obsessed with playing the game :p

Sounds good all-around. This giveaway intruiges me...

[DarkestLight]

Giveaway? Ok now we're talking. And Pheonixsong... umm PM me about this Reffing match... << >> It seems I'm addicted to it now...

[Elec Man EXE]

An interesting idea, but I think it'd be too hard to keep track of.

And I don't think it'd be a good idea for anything except legendary-only moves... no reason to give every pokemon the chance to learn other exclusive moves like Volt Tackle. Besides, MotM already gets free points, I don't think its needed to give more.

[Blademaster]

Damn shortage of refs... I swear to God/Allah/Buddha/Ra/Quetzalcoatl/Brahma/Aengana/Tao/Shinto/Flying Space Banana that if I have to come out of retirement for this, there'll be Hell to pay.

And according to the current exchange rate, Hell is pretty expensive nowadays.

While I'm here bored out of my skull, I'd like to address another issue that seems to be prevalent nowadays: Gym Leaders. One of our Gym Leaders has left ASB, one of them (as well as his opponent) has dropped off the face of the Earth, and one of them is too damn drunk and/or lazy to do much of anything Gym-oriented nowadays. That leaves us with 3 Gym Leaders...

We have to start discussing the possibility of nominating new Gym Leaders - we need at least two more.

So, who do we have that's capable of taking on this job? Any nominations?

I personally think that, even though I was nominated by a couple of people (Flattering, yes, but I doubt I'm the right guy for the job at the moment.), the people who've already beaten Gym Leaders may be best suited for the job.

Any thoughts on this matter?

[Phoenixsong]

Hm. I know nothing about the gym leader scene, so alas I have no nominations should it come to that. I'm sitting here wracking my brains trying to figure out ways to sort of almost fix the ref shortage... there must be something... some sort of little incentive or something? I dunno... I mean, an incentive wouldn't help the people who are busy, but, eh... I'm drawing a blank.

[Saffire Persian]

Well, once I get finished with school I'll be able to take more reffings, but ATM I'm rather leery of taking more than I already have. >.>

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I'm intruiged on who's gonna be the next leader. Interesting.

Also, I nominate The Disturbed Dusparce as next name.

[Chris 2.1]

I think its about time we called it The Disturbed Dunsparce *plans next months title*

[Silencer]

FINALLY!!!

I thought you guys had a list of 10-12 people last time? Only 8 managed so shouldn't the other 2-4 be considered immediatly.

[Chris 2.1]

Some of those people have left, one in particular isn't active enough for him to be considered and the rest are our considered candidates.

[Andrew]

It's my birthday!

Any suggestions for this contest? Anyone whingy they didn't get in?

[Weasel Overlord]

Happy Birthday! *prods* It's your turn in the March Contest!

[Silencer]

All hail, the one-year-older-then-yesterday-Andrew.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

HB.

Also, with more free time on my hands, I'll hope I can pick up reffing again in about a month.

[Vermillion]

On the topic of refs, I know I've been slacking which is funny cuz I got member of the month for being so active ^_^. Like Saf' this quarter of classes I'm taking are REALLY binding all my time plus I work 40 hours a week so you guy's aren't just feeling the pain; I don't get to see my girl or my son much either. I work on my reffing periodically though, when ever I get a free chance I take a saved one I'm working on and fine tune it till its ready to go.

[Chris 2.1]

It will be good having you back Verm. But your Member of the month was mainly influenced by your attitude in asb and the good quality of your reffings

[Saffire Persian]

You work 40 HOURS while doing school? o.0 You poor man. I don't envy you.

[Vermillion]

More like 38 hours, but I do get forced overtime. I don't envy me either...=P Aye Chris, we should like..battle sometime don't you think? Also PM me that battle that's been on hiatus. I'll see what I can do.

[Chris 2.1]

Verm: Oh we have Negrek reffing but thanks and we haven't had a match since Miltank VS Granbull..........you won.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

According to my PM, I am now an official Gym Leader. This kinda came out of nowhere. Huzzah!

[Chris 2.1]

That's right. Check the news for the new Gym Leaders.

[Andrew]

Oh yeah, I totally thought you'd all make great gym leaders!

I'm glad my votes/choices helped!

[Blademaster]

I'm glad my votes/choices helped!

Votes? When did we vote? Damn, I keep missing the good stuff....

Oh, well.

Andrew! This is your cafe! Get me a goddamn Mocha-Cola, will ya!? And make it snappy!

[Pichu Luver]

Me? A Gym Leader? The worlds gone mad!

...

Ok well I'm sure the voters can't all be mad. But still, . Thank you all! *squee and grin* Come and fight moi on the mildly bonker arena! I say mildly cause others were much more inventive. ^^''' But I like snow, so there was going to be snow! Lol. Come you peoples! Don't cha want my purty badge?

And Blade, I think it was all the current GL who voted. 'member back in the topic where Chris said they were doing it themselves?

[Andrew]

Charles Legend my Cafe doesn't serve seafood. It's gross. BUT!

Also, there's a guarentee on all my restraunt items

I guarentee if you don't like it, you can bloody stuff off!

Blademaster, we also don't sell cola or soft-drinks here, they simply rot your teeth. This is a high class alfresco Cafe that overlooks the beach! A nice wooden/steel/glass theme. Lots of light and you can step rightonto the beach!

But here's some of the lunch options:

Baked Chicken, Leek and Parmesan Risotto
Beef Satay
Lamb Vindaloo
OzBurger - A Kangaroo steak on a multigrain roll. Beetroot, Lettuce, Tomato, Spicy Relish and cheese.

Also there's the all day breakfast or the breakfast pizza.

Drinks:
We have a good range of wines. I like a good whinge myself.

Mimeshakes - Your flavour at the bottom, a scoop of ice cream, some more flavouring, milk and another scoop of ice cream topped off with some garnish. If it's Chocolate, you get shaved Lindt, strawberries, you get some fresh slices of it. Honeycomb is delicious, but my favourite is a Choc-Banana mix.

Otherwise, it's a great bar with some awesome bartenders who make your drink THAT much better. Whether it be Gin, Scotch, Vodka, Jagermeister or a plain old beer, it's all done with proper class. As such the prices reflect that. I don't want any damn hobos or homo-hobos in my establishment, after all, my insurance and rent prices are so high seeing as I'm on prime real estate!

My Pokemon and their jobs: OzStantler - Bouncer.
AerodactOz + Wheezing - Aerial survailance.
Mimes - Chefs
Vicki - Drinks
OzRalts + OzBuzz - Waiters
Alakaz0z- Maitre'de
OzStar + BritBrawler- Clearing.
OzCorsola - Aqua Survailance
OzMissy - Billing.

Anyone looking for employment at all?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

New arena for my Gymleader pokemon. Thanks for votes people, even though I wasn't aware of any voting.

[Chris 2.1]

There was no official voting at all (although someone did 'nominate' Blademaster for a position when we explained about new GL's in last months chat). We did get a few PMs reccomending people, and we did take them into consideration somewhat.

However we did feel that voting for Gym Leaders may result in people being voted for all the wrong reasons. Ie you may nominate a friend or someone who's funny and popular, when what we need is good skill in ASB and expirience.

However I think few can disagree with the new Gym Leaders choices.

[Phoenixsong]

Whoa, new leaders. Congrats to River, MLG and Elec, then. Although I was under the impression that only two new leaders would be chosen... you know, just to replace Dan and Liang. Whatever. When I actually have time, perhaps I shall challenge someone.

Oh, and by the by... surely there must be at least one ref out there interested in overseeing a nice and rowdy tag match? Pweez? This one? I'll go and ask over at the Reffing Tower, too, of course, but... eh... anyway.

[Chris 2.1]

All tourney competetors:

not all matches are up yet. For those which are, please check to see if it's your turn to attack or ref a round. This tournament will not work if it drags on and I won't keep it hosted if it just slides around aimlessly. This has the potential to be a really quirky, interesting tournament we just need everyone to pitch in!

[Blademaster]

Someone say something about a giveaway? Sweet. I'm in.

[Saffire Persian]

I can't wait for the new attack list. I would LOVE some clarification on how Counter/Mirror Coat works exactly, as it's such an iffy move at to how it's executed. XDXD

And yeahh, the Gym Leader position did come out of nowhere.

[darktyranitar]

Giveaway? I want them too!

[Chris 2.1]

Just a note: the giveaway will allow EVERYONE a free basic form DP Pokemon. But anyone who has found and obtained a diamond or pearl from the Safari Zone might benefit from the giveaway just a little bit more.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Just been thinking and thought id ask around to see if anyone else is interested.

I know there arent that many but there are some moves that are in the ASB attack list such as Aeroblast and Sacred fire that although arent banned for any particular reason (its not like the attack itself is that overpowered) other than there arent any ASB Legal Pokemon that can learn them.
Perhaps as awards or other such rewards (Member of the month/Contests etc) the ability to learn some moves that would suit a pokemon, but for whatever reason cannot be learned.
This could aslo be extended to things like Volt Tackle and Blast Burn etc or even simple things like Heracross learning Cross chop. Its a fighting type but cant breed with other fighters (only bugs) so as it stands cant learn it etc.....

Obviously this would be a rare thing. Not as if every member of the ASB will suddenly have extra attacks on their Pokemon. The only 'work' as such would be keeping track of it in the approval system. Not really a punishing task is it.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I actually highly enjoy that idea, but it'll be awkward.

[Andrew]

I don't like that idea personally.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Mmmmmmm freeeeeee pokemons *drools*

[darktyranitar]

If you count it by my timezone, the giveaway is today ^^

Free Pokemon... *hum*

[Greyfox]

Yes... I demand my free Pokemon!
