INNT Round One Pairings

[GoldDraconian]

Alright then, these are going to go up on the website soon enough (which you should probably bookmark, if you're playing in this BTW), but here are the official, not-quite-100% random (due to my preventing people from being forced to play their team-mates ) round 1 (or one, or I, depending on your preference) pairings!

Pariah vs. silverserebii
LegoMahPokE vs. eccentrox
crazybone vs. Voodoo
Syberia vs. Kari and Mewtwo
Cow of Inferno vs. Clicky Pen
Phantom of Innocence- BF vs. Y2Jesus
artismarti{OMG} vs. cool_daddy

I'm still not 100% sure if silverserebii is playing- I heard that she might not. If she doesn't play, her teammate (Y2Jesus, I believe) is obligated to find a sub- both Vega and Gandalf are available, for reference. There's no deadline up yet, but there will eventually be one. Post predictions here, go battle on GSBot or NetBattle (using the extended log), and send the log to myself.

One last thing I may not have mentioned before: You are allowed to change teams from one round to the next. Not only does that mean that you can experiment, but it also means that it shouldn't matter who gets your log- even if I were to distribute it to the public (which I'm not going to do while the tourney is going on, and even then I won't give any out without the battlers' authorization). It also means that you can post any wins you're really proud of up here or elsewhere, as long as your opponent doesn't object.

Go ahead, then!

On a side note;
Welcome back, Y2Jesus

[GoldDraconian]

For those of you who've battled, mind e-mailing me the logs at ringwraith4@hotmail.com ? I can't access the GSBot server, and I'd like to see them. Not that I don't believe any of you- I just want to read the logs. They'll give me a better idea of what the rules are like, and an idea if I need to tweak them (minor tweaking, of course). I don't think I do, but it looks like OHKOs are making a huge difference. :/

[Green_Pikachu]

i really wish my opponent were existant. ;.;

[GoldDraconian]

Yeah, looks like I'll have to replace her... Y2Jesus has to choose from among the sub-like d00dz we have available, and you'll battle that person. Off the top of my head, Paradox and Gandalf are both available... once Y2Jesus chooses one, then you'll be able to battle them.

Yeah, you should really turn down the OHKO limit. It's causing too much of an advantageous position to the first person to get out a strong OHKOer.

On a side note, to everyone, I lost to Voodoo because she didn't have an INNT team ready, so we just used standard teams, and she won. So I didn't lose legit, that is.

[GoldDraconian]

Theoretically, it doesn't matter when you get your OHKOer out- it's how long it gets to keep going for that makes a difference. Although, getting your OHKOer active first never hurts...

[Y2Jesus]

Paradox it is, because he's the only I know.

[LegoMahPokE]

I suggest u replace eccentrox, im always on, and hes never not..

i have been looking for him for ahwile on mirc and aim, and he/she cant be found.. plz get this by him if u know him.."to meet me on aim or mirc..!"

[GoldDraconian]

Well, I believe that Phantom of Innocence knows him- you can feel free to request to her that she try to wake him up.

If he gives no response within a week or perhaps less, he's getting subbed- and that can be a warning to all of you. You either show up or you get cut. I'd rather not do that, but my hand is being forced at a certain point. It's your responsibility to get your matched done, not mine.

Y2Jesus- Sure.

GP, you are now free to hunt Paradox down for a game. Paradox, it is your job to try not to get pwned. Go ahead, then.

I think round 1 will end in a week or two unless we've got a large percentage of the matches unfinished. On the cutoff, somebody who's finished their battle and oath-bound to me will watch for arrivals on the cutoff date. If both people appear, they battle. If neither appears, they draw. Else, the person who was there is deemed "teh winnar" and the other person is handed a loss by default. There will be no quarter for people who simply never appear.

[Phantom of Innocence-BF]

Eccentrox/Fantomguy, he's been awfully busy these days. I've seen him online once or twice in 2 weeks. I never even see him in school anymore. If I see him, I'll let him know that he's wanted for the the Tourney.

Y2Jesus- U're never on mIRC! Maybe we're in different time zones...

GP- I know ur opponent too in RL. If I hear from her, I'll let her know that u are looking for her as well.

[Dark Magician]

Whoops. Um. I'm really sorry, but school is keeping me like dead. I'll prolly be able to get on Saturday or Sunday, FEBRUARY 15 to 16. I'll be on mirc then. That alright?

EDIT: I AM DUM

[GoldDraconian]

Please tell me that was a typo.

MARCH 15-16? February, right? O.o

[Naas02]

lol March!

[GoldDraconian]

Well, this puts me in a strange position. I just gave authorization for Paradox to play, then got a response recently from silverserebii. O_o She sent me the following:

"Ok, hi again

Is just that i have a problem. The problem is that i never see my opponent on mirc, what will happen if this up?

Well, i usually go online at 7:30PM weekdays

Or maybe you could tell me when my opponent is on, so i could try to make the time for the battle"

Well, now I need to figure out what to do.

[Y2Jesus]

Uh, I just went through my logs and saw that Phantom PM'ed me. :x

As for the "u're never on", I'm always on, look bloody harder.

Nope, I'm always on too and looking out. I have seen u online once or twice before but everytime I do, I always have to go. :-/

Anyway, hopefully we'll be happy to catch each other later.

[Dark Magician]

I won 5-0. Lucked out.

To n00b: Im not.

[n00b]

If you're DarkMagician2003 it was a practice battle.. if not good for you. o_O;

[Green_Pikachu]

i really dont know what silverseribii or whatever is talking about, cause im on like 24/7 nonstop. so, either she is delirious, or she is just bs-ing you, Jesus.

[Phantom of Innocence-BF]

GP, I really doubt ss is bsing u. She has a really strict schedule in which her time online is limited each day. She IS on mIRC sometimes when u aren't, I know for a fact b/c I'm usually on when she is. Anyway, she'll be looking for u in mIRC more carefully from now on, she said.

BTW, besides P03 and GreenPikachu, do u use any other names on mIRC?

[Green_Pikachu]

im strictly on _GreenPikachu_ now.

and i am eastern standard time. east coast of the USA. where are you guys?

[Green_Pikachu]

well, silverserebii's luck is astounding, and that 2 sleeping pokemon rule was annoying, but i won nonetheless.

[Y2Jesus]

Phantom; Today I just connected so my download could finish while I went for my run, which is why I never responded. At least this tells me what sort of time I need to be on.

Ah ok. Just to let u know, I'm usually online from 5-7PM on weekdays (Eastern Time). That's due to school and homework.
Anyway, I'll hopefully be seeing u on mIRC sometime soon =D.

[GoldDraconian]

Does anybody care about this anymore?

[Vineon]

True reality of online pokemon tourneys ;_;... they all die besides a select few.. very few of them, I'd say 10% of all tournaments survive.

People are lazy, they join tournaments to never even try to battle for it.

[red13n]

Tournaments were cool back when they were a rare thing, and when people actually cared about winnig them. But shortly after the SMPT, tourneys turned into a fad, rather than a rare thing to look forward to. There was a new tourney everyday, so battling for them and winning just lost all meaning. Now there have been so many tourneys that no one gives a damn anymore. Online battling in general has lost all its competitiveness. I am not even sure RS will revive it with the current state of things.

[GoldDraconian]

Didn't people say that GSC would never be as popular as RBY and stuff, too? I personally think that RBY and GSC are better than RS, but I haven't really gotten into the strategic stuff for RS yet, since it requires so much planning with the whole effort value thing going on and all... I might change my mind, but at the moment there's just too much to keep track of. RS seems pretty popular nevertheless, though...

[red13n]

In terms of competition, there is none. Sure people will play, but competitively, nah.

[Naas02]

I have an idea maybe if the boards hosted all of the tournies periodically instead of players then maybe the excitement of online battling would come back.
