das vs. ember
das won

im putting all my battles in my post above, so check there for all mine

Nice, you got the other Cheat match. Thank you.

You fought Cheat, right? Did you get the replays? Cheat lost one of them.

(and well shit, somehow I coppied the same match 3 times... I have no link for you).

maybe your opponents salvaged them
if not, that's fine, i trust you

scoreboard's gonna be super inaccurate until the activity cools down

holy fuck all this activity

Anyway, we finally have the maximum number of participants. Ember, Orion, and Tblocks are now in the tourney.
Eighteen players representing all eighteen types.

For new players:

Though I do allow you to edit your team in between matches, you may not edit your team in between battles.
This may not have been made clear in the OP; I apologize for any confusion.

Cool cool.

I'm assuming you've read the rules?

Your type has been chosen (see above).

man i had a water team half set up and everything

actually this isnt so bad

i get shit like venusaur and nidoking

Indeed.

Now, read the rules thread. It's not that long, but a shit ton of important info is in there.

You too, Orion.

I still don't like how they made the Moon look.

Should look terrifying, with an anguished expression.
Now it looks goofy with a ridiculous expression.

I am tempted, though I cannot into PvP much.

Is this in-game or showdown?

Showdown.

yeah okay ill take water

you don't pick--i randomly assign it to you (stated in the rules thread)

and just in case you decide to be an opportunist and wait until water is perhaps the last type available, i'll be doing it like this

>wait for three people to sign up
>set up an RNG from 1-6
>each number represents every permutation

that way, all the types are assigned at the same time so everyone has the same chance

you could say i should've done that from the start to make it super fair, buuut
that would require waiting for eighteen people to join before receiving a type

AND there are 6.4 quadrillion permutations for eighteen types sorted among eighteen people

anyway, i can still give you a type but you can't choose

Ember, Orion, and TBlocks have taken all remaining spots.

Thanks for participating, guys!

Signups are officially over.

people are conditioned by all the vicissitudes of their daily lives

if you're not against drinking alcohol, for example, you obviously haven't experienced (or witnessed) just how destructive it can be, like i have. i would make the argument: if one truly understood how stupid of a choice it is to make yourself dysfunctional via intoxication for recreational purposes, no one would ever drink alcohol, or use any drugs at all.

so anyone who does clearly doesn't understand.
and if they do understand, and they just don't care, then, i'd classify that person as a fucking moron--plain and simple

point being, this is an argument i'm making from personal experience, as well as from my own personal set of values that i've developed over the years--either consciously or subconsciously. i am the sum total of everything that happens around me. invariably, many of you will disagree with what i say, based on the twists and turns of your life that determined who you are today--and yes, i do speak of determinism.

the subconscious development of one's personal values is a form of psychological conditioning--the aforementioned twists and turns of life that make all of us conditioned in our own unique and ugly ways

forgive me if i'm not very lucid right now, i'm quite bushed

Updated.

Tyger, Luis, and I are now tied for 2nd.

Das rises from 6th to 3rd...

Cheat and Byrne are back in 4th, due to a shakeup with the numbers...

Records added. Just fun little trivia about various aspects of the tournament thus far.
I could use some ideas here.
