ACTUALLLYYYYYYY
while, like Hark, I appreciate stuff like this as it's not just an attack on things someone doesn't like (read: people who show up only to say "ur tiers suck" or "no legends allowed in your league hahahahaha"), I have to say not everything here is true... I agree, we're more of a community server, and no complaints about it, naturally, but that doesn't mean we can't be competitive, or that we're not a competitive server. One would argue that we're all closer here than people are on Beta or whatever, but, last I remember the auths in Beta are all on Skype with each other a lot of the time, and all that; and yet they're still (obviously) one of the most competitive servers. It doesn't have to be one or the other, you know? We just kind of... don't. We have RMTs and tutoring and such, but not many people use them really.
As for the tiers, there's really no way to say anyone's are "proper." A metagame is defined by what the people use, and the tiers are shaped by that. Admittedly, ours were based on how we felt the Pokemon in question could perform and overall strength rather than just usage, but those aren't mutually exclusive. Regardless, yeah, ours are different and it HAS brought in some people who take things less (or more?) seriously... Still, no reason to dismiss all competitiveness.
The rest I completely agree with. I am very happy that everyone can sorta be more personal here, and Reborn is definitely not just Pokemon.
Hark's points are much shorter and spread out so brb editing within the quote
As for the initial post...
Addressed above
Naturally there's going to be more of a reaction from several hundreds of people as compared to, say, 30-50. However, also addressed above.
I'll be honest, this never seemed quite necessary since usually it was always bullet the same person winning the tournaments. It probably couldn't be too hard to implement though. Possible.
Also in question here is the interest people would have in looking at other players' wins...
Both of these were addressed above as well, and again to be honest I'm not really sure what happened to the trivia. Amethyst or maybe even Nyu would have a better answer than I could come up with. I assure you though, we have had both at one point or another
Even a Reborn Trivia where I learned so much about the leaders when I was a wee noob <3
And as for variations in tournaments, we generally had really big ones with sign ups here on the forum instead of on the server, but we kind of ran out of ideas for themes, I guess.

All of you with any interest at all. Go.
