they already increased your chance of finding it in general, though

it's not 1/8000 something anymore, it's like... 1/6000

This is how the movie's source material (the novel) ended.

I wish the film ended the same way. Would have prevented the shitty sequels.

i would never do that

Oh, and if someone who hasn't even battled anyone drops out, then... nothing will change. The same could be said of people with nothing but losses on their record, too, but that would be mean <.< Because it's only when points are shuffled around do things start getting messy. One of the few pitfalls of a round robin setup.

Since the cutoff date for signups has passed, there will be no replacements for any players who drop out.

Regarding dropping out:

All right, at this point in the game, I should address the possibility of players dropping out of the tournament, and how that sort of thing will be handled.

If you have battles on record and you decide to drop out, two things could happen:
A.) Everyone who hasn't already fought you gains 2 points (as though you forfeited all future matches).
B.) Everyone who has already fought AND won against you will lose 2 points (as though you never joined the tourney).
(everyone who gained 1 point will lose that 1 point, too)

Mathematically speaking, both options represent the same thing, but I think option A makes more sense on a practical level--it just adds a little bit of procedure to it all. If you must leave the tournament, all you have to do is say so, and that you forfeit all future matches. That will be your formal confirmation.

Because what I don't want to happen is for you to leave, only for you to come back a week later, forcing me to fuck around with the numbers again. Ultimately, if you have to leave, you have to leave--you don't have to tell me anything, so that's why I came up with option B, for those who are... I don't know. Too proud to forfeit?

Either way, your name will still remain on the scoreboard if you took any part in the tournament at all--but if you drop out, your name will be struckthrough, dulled to a bold grey, and shifted to the bottom of the queue, denoting that you're out of the tournament (while still preserving your stats).

i very rarely get nostalgic (some of nuka's stuff caught me by surprise though)

what i find super nostalgic right now, though, are those commercials that would be at the end of every pokemon VHS tape
(VHS tapes in general, for that matter)

this show

and this (greatest charlie brown cartoon ever)

No joke, once I got the Shiny Charm in X, I encountered a shiny almost every day I played.
that's a thing?

That. Is so. Lame.

shinies are officially not special anymore

i've come across nine shinies in my life
all of them were pure, legit encounters--no masuda method, no wonder trade, no gimmicks--just good luck

my first shiny was in gen ii (silver)--it was a rattata
i was so hype because i only learned about shinies one week before i saw it

then in gen iii, i found, like... four
- shiny electrike out of nowhere
- shiny wobbuffet that ran away, because it was in the fucking safari zone -_-
- shiny wurmple that i found while grinding, and the only 'mon on my team was a zigzagoon with red HP, so i didn't get it
- shiny numel that i found during a nuzlocke in jagged pass--my encounter was used up, but i caught it anyway

gen iv:
- shiny geodude

gen v:
- shiny basculin. i was grinding at the time, and wasn't even paying attention to the screen. basculin's shiny sprite is a SLIGHTLY brighter shade of green, but i didn't notice at the time. i almost knocked it out when i took a closer look at it and said "wait... something's not right here..."

gen vi:
- shiny pidgey (srs)
- not only was it a shiny flabébé, it was a shiny WHITE flabébé--caught literally five fucking minutes after i found the pidgey

I haven't watched a fine bros video in years. Did they do something sketchy? I'm curious as to why people are having these kinds of reactions to one of their videos being posted.
they're just another example of money grubbing YouTube whores, shilling out ignorant people to make cheap reaction videos (like, who cares what someone's reaction is to something anyway?), having them watch/do/play things that are already popular to achieve maximum viewership

it's exploitative and slimy as fuck

YouTube

i'm just SICK and TIRED of zombie games

i refuse to give ad revenue to the fine bros
I'd ask why, but I think the better question is why you don't have an adblocker + tracker filter added to your browser.
i think using adblock is wrong and only serves to kill the internet, because money is made through advertisements
and i don't know what tracker filter is

I think an anon in anarchy came up with a point that makes a lot of sense - that we are all born with inherent bisexual tendencies, but they are changed by our environment;
Quote
Okay, this is getting fucking annoying. your sexual orientation is your choice you fucking insecure retards. we're all born bisexual.

we're all able to fuck any gender, and the only thing keeping us from it is social norms and conditions
contradicts the first statement

if sexuality is just the way we're conditioned, which seems like a reasonable hypothesis, that's not a choice
you don't "choose" your circumstance

that's an interesting way to look at it though
