I was hoping for normal. Lots of gimmicky pokemon, so this should be fun.

I likely won't be able to battle until Monday. Got work and I need to prep my team.
Understandable.

Someone can give this the lock; we're all finished here.

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.

I never really outlined what to do in the event of a disconnect.

Basically... just... do it over. lol

If whoever disconnected refuses to battle again, then they forfeit the match.

Cool cool.
I'm assuming you've read the rules?
Your type has been chosen (see above).

Give me that Water type. 8)
WE HAVE OUR FINAL PARTICIPANT

I can't guarantee you Water, but since you and Orion are the last two to join, I'll give you the option to trade with each other (since you won't have the privilege of rerolling like everyone else has). Orion has stated that he's fine with either type, so I'm sure you'll be able to negotiate something with him if you need to.

Now, for the moment of truth:
TBlocks & Orion
TBlocks: Water
Orion: Normal

Indeed.

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

You too, Orion.

OK. I'm in, but my play time is pretty exclusive since I'm usually in college, working, or masturbating.
Okay, cool.

I'm gonna put you on hold until tonight, though, okay? I wanna wait for one last person to join, because then we'll have reached full capacity. If I roll for you right now, someone is going to have a 100% chance of getting Normal or Water, and I don't really want that to happen. I'd rather roll for you both at the same time, so it's fair. All right?

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.

you should have known better than to expect me to read rules

but alright give me a type

Spoiler
hint: make it water
it doesn't seem like more people are interested anyway, so fuck it, whatever

since you want water, i'll roll twice, okay? as stated in the rules, everyone gets one reroll
but whatever your reroll is, you can't go back on it, all right

Ember
Poison

Reroll?

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.

there was a point in my life where i wondered why i, of all people, was born with this brain
this life

i could've been anyone--i could've been "normal", i could've been someone who liked pop music
ate red meat
partied with a bunch of other mindless partiers
get piss-drunk every single weekend
play sports

not be a deviant fuck who hates not only 90% of what the human race likes, but the human race itself

but i got over it

it's not an interesting question anymore

#determinism

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.

43402
Check the OP. I got them all on the participants list.

Unless someone hasn't given me theirs yet (there's three of you).

43403
Yeah, play Das, Simse. I wanna see some Psychic action.

rooting for das tho

I'm referring to Nintendo's cut. I mean, if you're not generating revenue, you don't pay anything. 70% of 0 is 0.

And Nintendo is just doing what a few (much smaller examples) have done. I'm not saying it's good, because it isn't, but part of me doubts you'll be sued for not giving Captain Toad a lot of positivity in your Let's Play.
Yeah, definitely not. Bacon was a little dramatic there.

At worst, I'd imagine they wouldn't allow... I don't know, outright mockeries, or... maybe if you're swearing too much, they won't approve of your video. They probably won't even go that far.

43405
I got Steel once in my first mono-type tourney. I had a tough time, actually. But it was during Gen IV, and I knew next to nothing about competitive play. It's a great type now.

43406
do we have a room or something on showdown?
we do not

we use the lobby and ctrl+f to find people's usernames
if you're ready to battle, it's up to you to set up meetings with people

usually just posting here and asking if anyone wants to battle works
Aye can I still get in on this?
sure, bud

Snake
Steel

That only applies to videos that make money though, right? So as long as you aren't profiting from the video, it's fair use.
Not necessarily. YouTube is a business, and as you know, they can run it how they want. You do have every right to post whatever you want under fair use laws--on your own website. But YouTube is notorious for blowing out innocuous videos for... nothing more than having five seconds of a copyrighted song in the background or for wearing a small logo on a shirt. So yeah, videos entirely comprised of game footage aren't going to be very safe regardless of if they're monetized. It's a shitty situation, but it's been a part of TheirTube for years.
