[] Gamingforce Pokémon D/P Round Robin Tournament

Hopefully I could prevent my second drive-by from happening again!

Edit: I thought of a very random idea for next month's tournament, should we have another one.

We submit names of 6-9 Pokemon that we have. Those names go into a draft pool. If the participants stay the same for the next tournament, we could figure out draft order through the rankings at the end of this tournament.

Each Pokemon submitted will be assigned a number, participants choose numbers and draft Pokemon to their team that way. We trade accordingly and start the tournament. It's like a slight variation of the Fortune Battle from PBR. The whole idea of using Pokemon that aren't yours.

I'm not sure how many problems this might cause if you leave your Pokemon in the care of someone for a short time, but I dunno, it's just an idea at the moment.

Thoughts?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wow talk about a come back victory for Chaotic. You totally beat me to the ground ;_;.
I have no excuses though and yes, that was a good match. An unexpected loss but I can live with that!

Updated the brackets one last time before I go to bed. Just waiting on Crash and ^-^ to do their round 2 match. If they're not done by tomorrow evening (my time) I'll go ahead and add in round 3 into the mix.

Sounds like too much work for everyone if you ask me. Imagine all the trading and untrading we would have to do once we're all done. If everyone just had a Wii and PBR I'd be all over this idea for a future tournament. But we don't .

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I figured it would be troublesome for people, but even with PBR, we wouldn't be able to access that type of battle... They Wi-Fi is as bland as it gets with either Singles 3v3 or Doubles 4v4.

:|

Anyway, I can't wait to see who I'm fighting next. >.<

How ya doing, buddy?

So am I. I was ready to fight tonight, whenever ^-^ got home, but I guess he popped into chat briefly, then took off.

Win or lose, I just wanna fight someone. I didn't do all that training to NOT battle.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh poo, even if you don't fight this round, you're bound to fight me at least. I'm the one with no life and lots of free time. T_T

FELIPE NO

Crash: I'm up for it today, I'll be waiting.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm set to battle anytime now. Though the timespan between 8PM and 9:30PM EDT is reserved for something else. Before and after are fine, however.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll be right there.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok. I'm in. Let's do this.

EDIT: ^-^ got the better of me, winning 2 matches to my 0. But both battles were freakin' epic.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yes, agreed. It was so close, I was sweatin' so bad, my hands were niagra falls' backup.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Rounds 3 and 4 are now up! Sorry if it's overwhelming anyone but I want to push this tournament into the final rounds by friday or saturday!

So hop to!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh damn, I got the bye in Round 3. Now i'm gonna be bored until Elmoogle finishes his matches against Crash. T_T

How ya doing, buddy?

If you happen to see this, Elm, I'm ready and waiting on the wi-fi.

FELIPE NO

Well that sucks I lost AGAIN!
Rua's team is scary, I'll give him that. Except for his Aerodactyl, it was really the only poke that was a pushover ._.

Alright, I've updated the charts. Not a lot has changed but it's still nice to see new numbers.

Oh yeah, people please don't forfeit your battles. It's not exactly the most encouraging to thing to see. If you don't have time or don't feel too good then just postpone the match until later. No harm in doing that, I'm prepared for that.
Also bear in mind forfeiting a battle means you automatically gain 6 KOs to your stats. On top of giving the point to your opponent. Doing this too often will not only kill any chance of the forfeiting player to play in the finals~ But it will throw off the tiebreaking decision when the points are tallied. Just something you guys should consider.
If there is anything I hate seeing it's a player giving up during a good match.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Aerodactyl just stealth rocks and dies, it did its job^^. Its not supposed to live. But it'll take out whatever before it goes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll be online and waiting, Ident.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just got back, so I'll be online shortly.

6v6 or 3v3?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I thought we were supposed to have full 6v6 battles... and then you got off >_>

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Kairyu did say that 3v3 was an option.

Anyway, my WiFi connection is getting unstable again. I'm trying to fix it right now.

EDIT: So, I'm guessing we're doing 6v6, then?

Okay, I'm having a really hard time connecting to you.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I found out the problem tends to fix itself if both players log out of wifi and then log back in. Otherwise make sure your computer(s) isn't hogging the connection.

FELIPE NO

Sorry about that, ^-^. I keep getting the WiFi Error Code of 86420 almost every time I tried to connect to you. I'm still trying to fix this problem. Oh well, at least I didn't wind up getting a disconnect this time.

Hoo boy, the first battle was really close! There was a 56 HP margin between a victory and a loss for me there! The second and third games... not so much. Milotic is much faster than I give it credit for. Ice Beam wrecked me on the second game.

Good games though! =D

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh yeah. Outstanding battle, I had fun! everybody I've battled with so far has been great, including the people I haven't battled yet! haha, if that makes any sense.

This tournament was a great idea, I got to meet people I've never seen before.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Cool, scores are updated once again.
And ^-^ I'll be ready to battle for our round 4 match a little later, probably three hours from now. If I don't see you then just drop me a PM whenever you're ready.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Still waiting on Elmoogle and Chaotic to finish up their round 4 match. But I've decided to end the waiting and put up round 5. Also, here's a update of the available brackets.

IC, I'll PM you for our match some time on saturday. I'm pretty busy this weekend so if anything expect a late night battle. Oh and if you can't make that either just let me know.

How ya doing, buddy?
