And lo and behold, I appear. Maybe. I don't know if you're online. Or if anyone else is online for that matter. You're lucky, I woke up early because my dad was running around the house especially for you.
I'll need a hell of a lot of convincing to do it again. I'd much prefer to use standard tiers or something like AAA. I'm here. Let's do this shit. You guys set it up and I'll find ya. It'd be pretty easy if you all went to the same lobby... Like say the French one. EDIT: Or at lest, we would if Frog wasn't Away on Steam. So close...
First battle is here for those of you interested in watching live! EDIT: Here's the second match, LIVE! EDIT 2: Dead links. And it turns out this really isn't a good time for all of you haha.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-133673722 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-133675923 I won best two out of three! Onto the finals! I'll be waiting for you Axe.
Washed off my sins of yesterday (the fight I lost resulting in a spikejob)... Ok serious now, stuff in house is done, have all the time in the world to fight, if anyone wants to fight let me know. I do also doubles and UU now. Also Turn 6 in second reply... its a trap!
So, the final battle is coming up. Considering who we have battling, we really can't name a set time. So, what I can do is give you all a 15 minute heads up before the battle. It's not much, but if you're following the thread it should be enough so you can make it. In terms of when this battle "may" happen... it'd be in a few hours at the least, or even later at most. If you guys are in the Steam group, I'm going to post an announcement there for the battle as well, in case you're in game or something. He won't be able to do it with his Pokemon anyways, so there's that.
I am now Master Lord God Senpai King Senpai @Galactic Mindswipe 's apprentice! Here's the induction ceremony: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/customgame-133699466 Dunsparce is Master Race!
Here. Awaiting challenge from Immortal after the Match is prepped & set up however it is to be set up. While that's goin on, i'm gonna do however much waking up I can manage. Edit: Immortal & I are ready for combat. Awaiting Witness. French Room.
15 Minutes starts now, folks. I will post again when we're all in the room and settled. It's a shame not everyone is on right now, but we don't have a lot of options given our players' schedules. EDIT: Frog goes AFK with 5 minutes left to go. I can understand taking time for personal hygeine, but god damn, that's some poor timing. Looks like we have a few more minutes than expected I guess.

Well folks, that just about wraps everything up. Thanks to all of you who joined us and followed along. A big hand to @Galactic Mindswipe for helping things go a hell of a lot smoother. I don't even think I need to explain to you all just how helpful he's been, considering he's the one who set up and witnessed a lot of your battles. In terms of this tournament, I think it went well. Well enough that I can definitely see doing another one in the future. I think we've found a format that works for us, though it could use a bit of tweaking. I certainly have a few ideas for improving, and I'm interested in some of yours. Let me clarify by saying I am not looking for tier or metagame suggestions for the next one. That will come later. For now, I just want to know how you guys felt about the format we used. Specifically... did anyone use that Replay document I made? Yeah, the other stuff like round length is important... but seriously, that document.
I liked the tournament, I hope I can one day be good enough to try. On a side note: Does Showdown have some form of friend list system?
