ASB Chat Thread - 2015 Edition. Now with improved posts!

[Oslo]

I received an E-mail that said I could yet be able to teach Japanese next year. Of course, I could decline that offer for the sake of TPM lol

Cool opportunity! Putting TPM ahead of it would be silly.

(Except I have to deliver a speech at work on Monday and right now I'm on TPM when I should be preparing for it, so idk if I'm one talk about priorities.)

[Ash0011]

you should probably prepare for… oh who am I kidding college is incredibly boring right now

but at least I actually edited my signature sprite

[nepence]

So... how do tables work now? I noticed that the tables in my casino are all gone...

[Greyfox]

Tables on vBulletin are wonky; just edit the main thread and change table to ctable (in both the opening and closing tags) and that should fix everything.

But now I can't plan reffing while everyone wants to battle!

I was joking about declining, as obvious. I wouldn't be a good ref, there are other things where I can support TPM and where I'm better at.

Happy Birthday MeLoVeGhOsTs...


MeLoVeGhOsTs?

MeLoVeGhOsTs?

[Knight of Time]

Happy birthday MLG (wherever you are)...we miss you here, don't we guys?

[Ash0011]

MLG you can come back now, it's your birthday!… sigh

[Ayeun]

Happy birthday to the Ghost man, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, we miss you. <3

[Blademaster]

He probably died of liver failure. Now he's a ghost.

Lol irony.

[Greiger]

For those in the mega evolution tourney I wish you all the best of luck!

[Oslo]

Are any of the other refs getting a "500 Internal Server Error" when they try to post a reffed round? I don't know which part of my code is causing the problem, but it's preventing me from reffing anything.

[Ash0011]

could you post one of the rounds that's causing problems here? (under a code thing so it doesn't do the error)
edit; now I'm getting a database error when I try to go to my profile… gonna try a relog
edit2; nope, hope its fixed soon

[Oslo]

Yay, we're back up.

And my reffing problem is magically fixed!

(Also, BTPoke, if you see this, I sent you a PM about your SZ quest a few days before the site went down and either the message didn't go through or I think you just didn't notice it?)

[Greiger]

Whee! It's back! Fun times once more!

[Ash0011]

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!1!11!one!
TPM is back!!!

[Blademaster]

Should I even ask what happened?

[Knight of Time]

Should I even ask what happened?

I asked Lady Vulpix about TPM's downtime a couple of days ago on Facebook...she thinks something got corrupted.

But, I'm guessing Kevin was notified of the problem, and I presume he found and fixed it.

[Ayeun]

The answer is simple.

Someone forgot to feed the Pikachu's in the hamster wheel again... They needed to see nurse Joy. But they are all better now, and running in circles, keeping out site going.

The end.

[BTPoke]

(Also, BTPoke, if you see this, I sent you a PM about your SZ quest a few days before the site went down and either the message didn't go through or I think you just didn't notice it?)

survey says: I didn't notice xD

Also that server downtime was a thing that happened in the place I guess

[nepence]

So, I need help naming my pokemon. Anyone got any ideas?

Oslo and Ash have priority on pokemon they gave me/traded to me. (This will also apply to any other gifts I get.)

[Oslo]

You should name your Spoink I'm a Stupid Moron with an Ugly Face and a Big Butt and my Butt Smells and I Like to Kiss My Own Butt.

And you should name your Absol Beverly.

[Ash0011]

… wow apparently the reason the site was down so long was because nobody informed Kevin they were down, I sent him an email about it yesterday and got this back

"Sorry I did not realize it was down. I got the forums back up and running. Looks like the database crashed and needed repaired."

yay bystander effect!...

anyways for names… how about zephyr?

[nepence]

You're a ref. Do you really want a pokemon with that name in battles? But Beverly will be fine.

Ayeun told me that Kevin had been informed. Oslo, can you please release Goku on Ayeun? She clearly needs to be trained not to lie about stuff like that, and being ravaged by Goku should work wonders.

And Zephyr it is!

[Oslo]

I'll just abbreviate it as Butt.

And I'm definitely going to sic Goku on Ayeun. Spite is one of my life's greatest joys.

[Ayeun]

For the record, I said that he as aware of it, as far as I knew... I didn't say that he knew for sure...

[Perfect Chaos]

How the hell do you have Kevin's email?

[nepence]

Well... I believe his email was included in the site saying that the databases were down or whatever.

Additionally, I have Lady Vulpix on facebook and I know she has Kevin's contact details...

[Ash0011]

yup it was the admin email, and again the bystander effect

[nepence]

So, I've come up with a few names, but still am clueless on Misdreavus. Remember, the stories behind names can last for years!

[Ash0011]

hmmmmmmmm… bystander? or something similar

[nepence]

Bystander it is.

Btw, Oslo... Once my Aipom is evolved, we will need to battle them. Goku vs (the newly named) Vegeta, who will win?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Don't forget ASB NAME RATER, people and Pokemon!

[nepence]

Smack, the Kangaskhan now under Ayeun's command was originally named as follows

Me pissing off Kurosakura
Me: On an unrelated topic, I need a name for my new Kangaskhan
Kurosakura: *smack* (at around the same time as I sent the previous message)
Me: Cool. My Kangaskhan is now named Smack.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Screw the Japanese course, I'll have time to plan it after Christmas festivities! It won't take place until the 27th of March 2015!

I couldn't make it to the Mega Evo Tournament! Can't help blaming the TPM downtime.

[BTPoke]

can we talk about how in the mega tournament, right off the bat, there's a gardevoir vs. gallade matchup? xD

[Ash0011]

well gallade is weak to fairy and mega gardevoir has pixilate sooo... best bet for gallade to win is utilizing skill swap and spamming physical moves (high attack vs low defense), if the swap works then taunt and disable moon blast, but even then psychic moves do normal damage whereas psy/fight are weak against gardevoir...

all in all should be an interesting battle!

[Oslo]

Yeah, Gardevoir vs. Gallade is pretty epic but also fairly unbalanced. Now that I think about it, Mawile vs. Aerodactyl and Lucario vs. Absol seem a little unbalanced as well, going strictly off typing. I guess it's what you do with the hand you're dealt that counts?

[Ayeun]

I look forward to winning this tournament!

[Oslo]

If Ayeun were a Pokemon, her ability would be Moxie.
