Killing this thread right now. You are not using OUR system for whatever purposes you might have. I'm actually offended that you even thought it would be a smart idea to get another League "set up" while we poured I don't even know how many weeks into all of the work we have done for the Redemption League, its characters, the battle/bracket system and all the other small things around the League. To address your "ground rules" one by one as well: 1.We share similar rules with the Redemption League and are inspired by them This is hinting at the fact that you have no rules, as you have not set any real ground rules down, which means you're literally copying our rules. 2.We know that the Redemption League is going on at the moment, and we will try to not cause conflicts with the Redemption League You KNOW our League is ongoing right now, you're a challenger for the League because I know we have your Trainer Card registered, yet you still set up this thread and say you won't try to cause a conflict with us? How wrong you are, because creating this, knowing we're fully operational is about the biggest conflict-starter I can imagine. 3.We are not trying to be better than Dash’s league. They have spent hours of their time to make something to bring the community together and we do not wish to make them feel bad. Hours? Try about 8 months. 5 months to get the basic things out of the way, 3 months to get people recruited, sprites made and everything else around it before we could even start. I could once again say how upset I am that you're even creating this, but regardless, next point. 4. Our running hours are on Friday to Sunday from 4:30pm-7:00pm EST, with queues at 4:00pm. This is so that people coming from the Redemption League do not have to change their schedules to participate(Unless they have plans) For starters, these are the exact same times as the Redemption League, the exact same DAYS as the Redemption League and really? This is once again a literal copy/paste of what we do, with queues opening at 4 PM and the League running at 4:30 PM. 5. We are using the Brackets System as well, 3 in each Bracket Again, that's our system and it's getting really boring to see you literally copy/pasting what we use for your own use. 6.Advancing to the Next Bracket - This is also the same as Redemption, so people are familiar with the system Oh look, another thing that "is the same as Redemption". 7.Ban List- The use of Speed Boost Blaziken, as well as any Speed Boost +Swords Dance Combos are banned. The challenger cannot use ANY Legendaries. Hey, that looks familiar as well. Where'd you get this? Oh wait, that's OURS as well! I could point out the fact that you're a two-man team trying to take on what we do with 11 (29 counting all the Leaders), but I don't think I even need to really go into further detail on that, now do I? I have enough reason to shut this thread down, as it is disrespectful to my staff, the Redemption League's leaders and mostly a huge slap in the face of disrespectfulness to me. Edit: I've unlocked the thread. Do what you must, but don't interfere with the Redemption League. This does not mean I approve of this whatsoever, mind you. And instead of literally copying what we have set up, be creative and create something of your own instead of copying us.

Green shinies are bad on Pokémon that shouldn't have a green shiny color palette. Espeon would've been better off being a darker shade of its current color. Dragonite looks terrible in green, it's not a "dragon" color whatsoever. The only somewhat cool green shiny is Druddigon.

Yet, we've had two battles using the same field effect before, and there was no real discussion about that, was there? (Samson and Ciel on Big Top Field) My wild guess is going to beeeeeee.. Saphira and perhaps Lin crashing your battle with Saphira?

Hey everyone! With the rankshifts being announced a while back, we've checked out the votes (and had a little debate of our own) and we've decided that three leaders will be moved up in the brackets. Who those are, you can read a little bit further in (or look at the new brackets I'm about to announce) and the reasoning behind why these three leaders were moved up. Just a brief little "speech", if I may; Thanks for all the voting you guys did, it pretty much confirmed our suspicions of a few leaders doing particularly well (and yes, I did notice that people wanted some leaders to be moved up a bit earlier), so we've decided to do a little rankshift after the second month of League. Also, thanks for all the positive words and everyone participating so far! We never would've thought it'd grow to be such a success so soon, and we're honestly thankful from the bottom of all our hearts that you guys are having such a good time! Does this mean we're halfway through the season yet? Negative. We're trying to have this first season run until early summer 2016, aiming to have S1 finished by July at the latest. Why then? Well, running League is a very straining thing to do for all of us involved, staff and leaders altogether dedicate their time (while having jobs, college and whatnot) to be able to give the community something fun to participate in. I've been hearing how we're getting compared to the old Reborn League, which is extremely flattering to hear, but it's also something we would rather not strive to compete with/copy, as that had its own days of glory that we simply cannot match. We're "getting our shit together" slowly but surely. Enough rambling, though! You're here for results, so here's what the new brackets are gonna look like after the hiatus! (New bracket additions will be in blue, leaders that dropped brackets will be in red) It's pretty self-explanatory minus the swap between Ariel and Haley. I've spoken to them both and laid out the situation for them. Haley pretty much said she didn't really care, as long as she had enough challengers to face, be it early or a little bit later. This gave Ariel the "go ahead and swap" cue xe had been waiting for, apparently. Elliot's exceptional battling has earned him a spot among the third bracket's battle squad, and of course Miss Venus has been doing extremely good, so we had to push her up to the fourth bracket to be that last obstacle challengers have to get past. As for the leaders who dropped in brackets, allow me to explain briefly. We had expected Alicia to do much better, but having lost to the four top-ranked battlers she had to face, it was clear she was not ready to face the stronger battlers head-on just yet. Lucifer has also had his ups and downs and actually requested for me to drop him down a bit so he can polish up on his battling against the somewhat lower-tiered battlers, in the hopes of showing he does have potential to be higher up some day, just not now. We.. Did consider dropping Helen to B2, but my ears are still ringing from the almost-endless shouting she gave me for even thinking of that idea. Furthermore, I have to express this yet again. The Redemption League is supposed to be a challenging Leageue, where you're tested as challenger whether you can be innovative enough to overcome any obstacle you face. Be it with your favorite Pokémon, Pokémon you'd never think of using, a monotype, or mono-gen team or even pure and raw power on your side; It doesn't matter. We're (assuming you are) all here to have fun in the end. Get walled by a leader? So what? Try again with a different EV spread or items that could work in your advantage. To prevent any and all future out-of-line behavior, I'm setting the unwritten rules we had before, in "stone". During battles: - Behavior is to be respective from both sides. Minor bantering is perfectly fine, as it is to more or less "liven up" a battle. There's a boundary that some people might have, so if either the leader or the challenger says to stop, people are to stop immediately. A leader/challenger may choose to turn on modchat if necessary. - If a challenger is bothered by the chat, but does not wish to have modchat on, they can choose to tick the Ignore Spectators check box at the top of the battle screen while in-battle. If a challenger is bothered by his/her opponent, they can choose to tick the Ignore Opponent check box instead. Leaders are obliged to not make use of these unless it's really necessary. In the League channel chat: The same things apply in the chat as they do during battles. You're to act with respect towards the League, its staff, its leaders and everyone else around it as a whole. Not doing so, or deliberately instigating an arguement, can lead to you either getting warned (verbally or through the /warn command), or even muted for 7 minutes. This can happen for either a leader or someone talking in the chat. We're keeping it fair here. To further enforce these rules, we've come up with a simple, but (to what we believe to be) effective system. - You will receive up to two warnings from a League staff member (be it a verbal one or a /warn one). (0 points) - Continuing after getting these two mentioned warnings will result in getting you muted for 7 minutes. This can be done up to two times per League day (where we obviously hope you'll have learned from getting muted once or twice). (1 point per mute, expires after 2 League weekends have passed) - Persistance after being muted twice will be punished with an hour mute. (2 points per hourmute, expires after 3 League weekends have passed) Note; I'm more or less making a system just like on the forums, with "warning points" that expire after a certain amount of time. That being said, if you somehow manage to gain 5 points, you will be put on "League time-out". This means that you will be unable to challenge the League for 2 weeks. If you somehow manage to rack up 7 points or more, we will be forced to lay down a temporary roomban from the League for a month. Hopefully, I don't have to repeat myself again when the League is back up and running, as these rules and regulations are now set in stone, so I hope we can all enjoy ourselves when we're all back! Speaking of which.. I know the card updates are very late, but there's a good reason behind that. We didn't want you guys to find out what leader was moved to where (and the fact that we discussed these bracket swaps for a good 4 days), so we kept them all a secret. Don't fret, however! We're working on your cards to have them all ready! Oh and a final note regarding the cards; You'll keep every single badge you've earned so far. So even with Venus moving to B4, her badge will be in that B4 slot (old Reborn League challengers will know what I mean)! That's all from me, I gotta check up on a certain Gallade and ask if he could use my help finding the other B5 leaders, since I y'know.. Have their numbers and know where they usually are/know their college/work schedules. Until February 12th!

LEO STOP PLAYING WITH THE STOVE GODDAMNIT.

Updated my post at the top of this page with Caz and St3ffo's cards. Apologies for the wait. Badges will be updated by Wednesday/Thursday at the latest!

Apologies, I misread my own notes. >> Not sleeping for at least 7 hours a day during weekends tends to be bad, y'know. Forward the rupees to the Galladester and he'll notify me of payments and stuff.

Yo! Based coding god Swims has hooked us up bigtime with some very neat and useful commands for the public to use when League hours are active, so we don't have to worry any longer about you guys asking what queues look like, for starters. He's also hooked us up with a challenge command! The stuff you're going to find particularly useful will be listed down below. The challenge command! - We now have a challenge command! When we open League hours, you no longer have to post your challenge in bold text for us to see and make note of! All you have to do when League hours start up (which shows a notification as well), is simply type in /leaguechallenge -Leader name here- ! To make things simpler, it has been made so you can simply type in the Leader's name without the RLDR in front of it. Example; /leaguechallenge Olivia would automatically put you in the queue for a battle with Olivia! - But wait, you didn't want to challenge Olivia, because she has a long queue? Not to worry! You can remove yourself from the queue by using /removeleaguechallenge to automatically withdraw from your current queue, enabling you to challenge a different leader! PS: For all those thinking they can be smart and challenge Leaders they aren't qualified for (ie someone with 0 badges trying to challenge Haley/Venus/Elliot from the start), we will always have our badge sheet at the ready and we can also remove you from these queues if needed. The queue command! - There's more! Remember all those times I had to turn on modchat just to announce the queues and have that ugly prntscrn image up in the roomintro for people to view (a sometimes outdated) queue? No more of that! Simply use the /queue command and you can see the queue for yourself! You can still ask for any of the League staff members to broadcast it (which will always happen before the battles start regardless)! I'll make sure to update the roomintro with this as well (and just give a quick tl;dr too)! I'll catch you all back on the League channel for next weekend!

This poll won't be affected by just last weekend's results. I'm letting this run until after next weekend, because that's when we'll actually be doing the shifting around. I prefer that people also vote for themselves and their personal opinions, not to help others. It's supposed to be even for everyone (for as much as this is possible).

The move swap is technically too late, because you obtained your second badge on Saturday, which puts you in B2. Gotta be strict here, sorry.

Valid point. I'll keep track of that if people so wish to state this. I'll make note of this in the OP and I'll add another option for that Q.

Greetings, (future) challenger! We've more or less already established that we're going to be doing a few rankshifts very soon (end of January), but we would also like to involve our challengers a little bit. We're quite aware of the fact that some leaders do better than others, which has more or less become a very tough wall to climb. For this reason, we're shifting leaders around the currently revealed brackets, but we also want your opinions in this matter. Above this post, you can find a short poll, I would appreciate if you could cast your votes for both these questions! EDIT: Because I didn't foresee the fact that people might be fine with where Ariel/Elliot/Erwin are currently placed, I've added a 4th option for that question! Thanks in advance!

Overdue, late, blablabla. I know. I have more things to worry about. Also not in alphabetical order because I really cannot be bothered. Trevore Godot Marky B (New) Kumadoro (New) Felix the Cat (New) Female Gallade Karudae Arimaki (New) Pineapple the Blue (New) Jory Vinny Caz St3ffo (New)
