Hi everyone,
It has been a while since we had a change in the auth team, but I'm here today to let all of you know about some hardworking community members who have earnt themselves a promotion!
First off we have @Xiri, who will be joining our team as a server moderator. Anyone who has spent any amount of time with Xiri would know how cool headed, capable and talented he is and I have no doubt he'll make a fine addition to our server moderating team. He's led the victorious Atlantis Nation to victory in pokenations and is an integral part of the Redemption League staff already, so he is an experienced leader who will set a great example for all who frequent the server.
Took yall six months at least to spend any amount of time with the guy.
For a position of need, too!!!

On the plus side you're still resident avatar Jesus, manly man, moustache and muscles, grizzled veteran Mael. We just didn't really have our moment or our bit. Don't care too much about that

Ok, how the fuck is he not on the list? @Nickcrash for Forum mVp, thanks to his great contributions in the RMT section, the competitive discussion, the Pokemon Fan Club, his very elloquent replies to many threads in the former Trainer's Journal, the sharing of knowledge from his field of studies, the Air Balloon thread, the Bust or Buns thread, his great help in the E16 Questions thread and great influence on Reborn Hurt or Heal.

Six months later...
~♤♡♢♧~
Round Two
It's never too late to meet new good people here. Or there. Or anywhere. And there's no reason to limit the love to one moment in time. I'm back here, the old guessing game is back here, the only thing missing is poor puzzled Jericho trying to figure it out again. Alas... This time, I'm doing it in the hours just past my nameday. It's a small orthodox celebration for first names, based on when the orthodox church celebrates each person's namesake saint. When I was only a baby, we didn't know there was a Neomartyr Ody... so we did the next best thing, celebrating on the sixth of December, the day of St Nick... Yeah, my second name is Nick. Hell, when I was baptized, there was a whole fuckup: priest no1 didn't want me to carry the ancient, thus heathen, name of Ody, on my baptism certificate, so we turned to another priest to write the name Ody on that piece of paper. So, if you call me Nick, you're siding with an asshole priest. Keep that in mind. Other thing to keep in mind, this little guessing game's rules and peculiarities
I draw a card from the deck. This card will represent someone. I note it and write the entry for that person. Red suits, propably female. Black suits? Propably male. The higher the value of the card, the higher, propably, how much I appreciate you and how close we are. Noooow, that's gonna be very approximate this time. Only 24 cards are left from the deck (the rest was used in the opening post entries, six months ago) so don't take it to the heart. Hell, the red-black suits balance is very tilted in the remaining ones, fuck! Anyway, rules in bullet points:
The rules!- Read the thread and find out who you are, if you're here.
- If you were here last time, you're not here this time, ok?
- Your value is not represented by the cards, only very relatively. If you're here you're cool. The deck was shuffled and less than half the cards remain!
- If you think you know who you are, write it here. Or pm me in the forum, or tell me in Showdown or elsewhere.
- I will add your name if you get it right unless you tell me not to.
- I will try to bring the thread to your attention a little if I see you're not sent anything.
- Do not write publicly about who people other than you are in these entries, even if you guess it!
- Ame and a couple more people are not included here for simply not fitting under just "member of Reborn" for me.
SpoilerJ♧: Under pressure and in need for a relief. You definately don't need me in my most annoying. But you're a very funny and ready to enjoy shit guy with a great sense of humour, trolling and memeing. Oh, and a most nasty edge when it comes to any short of competition. Fired-up and ready to go!!!
5♡: Well, we don't know each other at all. But I can appreciate your craft and your dedication and most of all, how you use that to make people I care about happy and fuzzy inside. That's great and reason enough for you to be here. Keep on doing that!
OCFR: Order Card for Replacements. A non-playing card, but one where you circle the cards gone bad and mail it to the company to send you new ones without buying a new deck. Not an entry!
Q♡: Fuck you. With pleasure. With a merciless talk that can get me quite bad, wits and dares to where even I won't go, but also a genuinely good and encouraging heart, I sorely miss you and would enjoy your presence a great lot if it came back. Your presence is a joy.
3♧: Damn, you've disappeared for ever and ever and I was beyond glad last time we could arrange and have a fight here. Come back. You're funny, modest, of great character and most of all... missing. Come back!
Q♧: I wasn't sure if I was gonna put you in just because of some basic principles, but sure, have this odd card. You're a very good and very capable person and your presence and help is very needed, appreciated and loved. It's grease in Reborn's gears. At the same time, I disagree with any notion that you're a saint with a bright halo. Loosen up on some things and tighten up on others, and keep doing the good work.
J♤:Positive, funny, energetic, lad, the soul of the party, a great guy, fuck that actually let's go for a coffee or a beer!!!
5♧: Hi blank. How are you doing, blank? Did I annoy you when I did that, blank? Because it was a little irking, not in a bad way though, when you did that to me. Been a while. You're one of the most friendly people and eager to say hi and that's always setting a very nice and personal tone and I've now decided that I really like that!
K♤: I'm very glad I've managed to get to a point where I can beat you in mons. For many months, you were an impenetrable brick wall for me, but I've since broken through. Not only do I respect your skills, but also your super-chill demeanor and how easy-going you are, and, to my biggest surprize (how did this happen?) your burgeoning bromance.
J♢: Well, some trust can be misplaced, no big of a deal, nobody died. You're still quite smart, dilligent, and always chill and giving me the green light to conduct mischief using your name and reputation in my jokes. Take care and keep up the good work, cause if you don't, I'll be a little livid.
Cards got a little fucked up and we're pretty much ouf of black suits following the next one.
9♤: I've seen past the surface a long time ago, and I've seen a man with a kindness and a care for this place and the people, and a lot of growth too. Not that there's anything wrong with being funny and doing all the good stuff you're notorious for doing. Keep your head up mate and never forget, people can like you for lots of reasons! Also thanks for your help!
A♢: Hi there, ghost. Stick around. You're a cool dude, don't be a ghost. Be active, present, more sociable. Don't be afraid and don't wander off that much away from people and make me call you a ghost. Well, unless I'm still getting the rookie treatment and you talk only to the most grizzled vets. Which I doubt you do. Don't be hesitant and let bygones be bygones too.
K♡: Hey there mate. Be a good mate. You're far less detached than the ghost above you, but still, you always felt a little unreachable to me. Be more willing to dive in and close that gap and you're golden. Always smart, well-spoken and never forgetting to mention your well know favourites.
4♡: Talk and trust your skills more and don't be an always silent name and it'll work wonders. You're a chill dude and you have a gift for getting in my head a little every rare time we play a match. Keep beating your bestie here down and hopefully she'll pick it up a little.

This is not the only party of the year. The Christmas party is already geared to cater to the western hemisphere exclusively, unless you're living in the westernmost parts of Europe and decide to just skip sleep for a night, like Juu here who lives in the timezone that is one hour closer to EST than... France, Spain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the scandinavian countries and more. I'm one more hour farther than these countries and two from Juu (GMT+2) and to make it to the start of the Queen's Game I have to stay up to 4.30. ...oh, in an exam period too.
I didn't ask for any changes and I understand how difficult they would be, because quite frankly, and as Tacos too said, the vast majority of people involved in organizing the events reside in said timezones and it would be a complete pain to just try and change the time for a couple hours, much less to cater to another hemisphere
That brings us to the realization that out of all of the auth team, only three out of the 16 members of the auth team (I don't include Ame and Clarice) reside outside the western hemisphere: Sheep(cat) and the fresher auth members that are Zumi and Mde. This is not an accusation of promotions being based on where anyone lives, but a notice of the auth team's natural weakness (barring very weird sleep schedules) to cover a large timeframe of non-US-based user activity.
Personally I am not interested in the party all that much. I am much more interested to see the community be able to embrace its international composition and activity better, instead of continuing to be geared around the people and times of the US. The expansion of the parties from one to two a year leaving the same people out twice is not a good sign. I hope that the questions raised by the members here would be able to lead to some decentralization of Reborn's weight and power structure. That would hopefully hold it from becoming a community where a geographical majority gets the best part of the deal every time in the name of majority, while the not much smaller or less important to the community minority continues to get the worst parts of the deal.

This is yet another Reborn event which is catering only to the western hemisphere timezones yet again, just like the previous installment. Also it is on a date when quite a number of members of the forum are still busy with university/college exams.
I am not asking for any changes, I am just telling you. Evaluate these points as you wish.
PS. Larvesta with Morning Sun. The most annoying Little Cup thing ever.

So, who are you?:
I'm Ody. I came here for the game in early 2015, and it looks like I'm still here. I concerned myself over here with things ranging from the game to competitive mons to the people of this community. I've been a fallen from grace ace, sometimes a good contributor, and sometimes a pain in the ass. I pretty much took a leave of six months starting this winter, I went for an Erasmus semester abroad in Spain, and here I am back again. Great timing for this thread to pop out.
Anything you're responsible for?
I headlined the Item Guide for the Reborn game (which was updated for E16 thanks to Njab since I was preparing to go on a trip) and that's pretty much my greatest contribution. I also acted as substitute captain of the Ravenholts during the PokeNations 2 tournament, since our original leader Kaito had to take a leave. I pride myself in making a quite extensive appreciation thread for the various people here that I wanted to pay tribute to. I think I can say that I put a great effort in helping weather the first days of the E16 release with helping people out, especially newer members with their questions (oh and reporting some posts). And I've also assisted Bibs, Zumi and Chubb back in the day with the glorious Hunger Games Simulator. Also I've been a member of a small clan and/or group of jackasses known as Arcana Rush.
What can I talk to you about?
Well, fire that gun and see where the shots land. I have no problem trying to help out to the best of my abilities regarding the game and competitive mons too, and I don't mind at all talking about anything, especially if there's music I like involved, anime or manga that I like, food, drinks and coffee, that short of good things in life. Once things get rolling, no idea where they'll go.
Closing statements
I don't want to sugar the pill: I don't exactly know how and why I'm here right now, if this is a comeback for me or if I'll continue fading, if Reborn will pull me back or if this awfully ugly forum and the ugly thing known as 'scord will kill my love for the old forum and showdown server. I feel that the community is in kind of a decadent state, dying out little by little. I object in various ways in how the community is also ran from up top. So it's really hard to gauge my input here in the next six months, much less farther down the line. Let's see how it all plays out and what I can do as well.
