Although many of you already know, I have yet to make the official announcement about the school-season's scheduling. As opposed to running weeknights, henceforth, the league will run at the following times Weekends- Fri, Sat, Sun 8:00 PM- 3:00 AM EST Challengers will be allowed two challenges per day, and leaders availability will be updated accordingly (expect to see it tomorrow). Additionally in battle logs, leader-side trainer cards will no longer be posted. Previously this was a convenience we afforded to allow challengers quick access to leaders information, however, as many of the leaders now run multiple, often-changing teams, maintaining the trainer cards in both images and record keeping has become too chaotic a burden to continue this. All such information is still readily available either through logs, asking previous challengers or scouting leaders battles. You just gotta be resourceful. Honestly, it might be more fun that way. Help each other out- many of you already are. It seemed like there was more I wanted to say, but I can't remember it now. Yay. Oh yeah. Miss Kitty is awesome. : )

N8's right... I'll update the leaders profile cards with mascots that aren't from the stone age of Reborn. Still, an excellent picture. I've started doing non-chibi art of the leaders too, but it'll be a while before we see those.

Considering Morty only uses Gengar-family Pokemon in his first battle, I'm going to guess him. I remember it's not Clair 'cos she's a cheater like Lance and has Charizard and such. >.>; Morty totally shoulda had Misdreavus ever since the early days. >.>

The answer is Koga. In GSC/HGSS Koga's daughter, Janine, replaces him as Gym Leader as he leaves for the E4.

...o.o Where is this from?

Yep

That's something I intend to resolve shortly. Because Gardevoir isn't an official gym leader, she isn't on my connection and therefore I don't have her logs. We're working on it- so basically from now on she and Radomus both will be official leaders.

This I noticed, and intend to fix shortly. Thank you.

It was NU anyway.

Drawing Fast? Too paradoxical.

I agree with Knight's sentiments, actually. Even having played the Mystery Dungeon games, I could not have guessed the one he lost correctly, and I knew the level of Red's Pikachu without any doubt. That said, in these sorts of games, there will always be the out-lying questions. Luck plays a role, some will be harder- that's only natural.

...I don't see anything like that... Everything looks normal to me. And Kitty didn't get drunk. I was with her all night last night..

...What's going on? Does someone wanna explain this to me?

So show us.

Thanks, Bullet. Sorry, N8, I didn't mean to talk down on your or anything. My only point is that there is still -plenty- of time to learn.

...What sort of site did it actually link to? >.>;

Because of the low success and such, there was a backstage agreement just to kinda null the results of this. If y'alls want, I could get on this at some point anyway though.

Knight asked Shelly herself how old she was in their battle. She said she's ten. Being Bugsy's -younger- sister, this might be odd considering Bugsy's age, but bearing in mind that it was a few years ago that Gold swept the Johto league, this should be appropriate. A long, long time ago, when Knight first fought Luna for her badge, El interrupted their battle (gym leaders used to do that often. >.> That's part of why I don't let them come on at the same time usually anymore) and Knight defended Luna. Afterwords, he asked her out, and as thanks for helping her, she promised him a date. Not an official couple, but still.

Thanks, guys. Hyper, I know you've seen at least a little bit of my stuff (what I'm about to post) though, because when I snagged the links from MP, you'd posted. Will, Your Chibi-Garchomp is intense. Not that Solaris isn't. N8, practice. When I was your age (God, I feel old), I couldn't draw a stick figure standing up straight. Then Science classes happened in high school, wherein I had nothing to do but draw, else I would fall asleep. Draw lots, draw quickly, don't expect to draw well. That part will happen in time. Meowtime. Mewmewmew.

Sorry about last night, everyone. Thanks for understanding... Normal timing tonight- I think we're feeling a bit better. Stress is kinda rampant what with school starting soon, but let's power through it. I say to myself.

[quote name='Geo' post='3099' date='Aug 16 2010, 06:27 PM']Really Ame you should've pick someone who can take a joke or atleast Mello,someone like mashew.Seriously AZ is more of a Hitler.[/quote] Now, be nice. I agree with Knight's policies- just because he's enforcing them assertively doesn't mean he can't take a joke, nor does it mean he's like Hitler. Besides, these guidelines have nothing to do with jokes. [quote name='N8theGr8' post='3100' date='Aug 16 2010, 07:28 PM']Oh, and about the investigations being posted in an irrelevant thread, the Investigation Squad (actually, I) made its own thread specifically because of that. Please don't accuse us of something we've already corrected.[/quote] No, as Lara said, we weren't accusing you. He was exemplifying it. This was well done. [quote]Anyway, my only fear about the new mods is that the only one that is here when Kitty and Ame aren't around are Will. Lara typically seems to be around for the leagues, but little otherwise. The same can be said for Knight. I definitely agree that they are very mature and are well deserving of this position, but I still fear that the server will sometimes be left without a mod/admin.[/quote] That's actually part of why these people were picked. Lara is usually on for battles, and if she's on then Kitty can focus on logs and I can focus on hassling gym leaders to get their butts online- without having to babysit the server. Will is usually on during the day when the rest of us aren't, so he can cover those times just fine. A legitimate concern though, and exactly what I'm trying to alleviate. We'll see who stays active through school though, and there may be reassignments accordingly.

Thank you, Knight. And relating to Knight's 5th point, I'd like to ask the members and mods of the the server to help keep on top of chat-speak on the server. Abbreviations like lol and btw are passable, but when you get into things like Knight's example, the line is crossed. I'm guilty of being too lenient on it myself, so in order to keep as clean of a server as possible, I'm encouraging the mods to warn once and then go for the throat. Just a kick- Chatspeak itself should not need to be a ban-able offense. To the regular members, feel free to point it out if we don't notice, and remind the other members if they're doing it, not to. One final news point- As we adjust to school routines, whatever that ends up being, this is our slow-down week. In this week, challengers will only be allowed a maximum of two battles per day to lead into the stricter schedule of the following weeks. Timing for the events will remain the same, however. I think that's all. This now concludes your three-part news post. See y'all soon.
