You guys make me giggle. By the way, once I give EoI an Eevee and he makes it a Glaceon we can have our tournament. So...yeah, just chill for another day or so.

Two things. First, I made the League Card template longer so it holds all the badges. Second, I'll try my hardest in the tourney, but wouldn't it be fitting if I was the first leader (with my starter theme and all)? My Pokemon aren't EV trained, but they have EVs and great movesets. I'll problably EV train my Black team though (the one that I'll use solely for wifi battles, not my ingame team).

So, it is with a heavy heart that I announce my permanent leave of Psypoke. As a moderator, I wished only the best for everyone here, and worked to maintain a jolly environment where everyone could discuss cartoon monsters in peace. Now, I wish all those who happen to be reading this message good luck in whatever endeavors you have chosen to pursue, and that your futures be bright.

Mektar out.

Lol well my tourney team is going to be, imperfect. the cost of moves at the battle frontier on anything other than Platinum (which i have sadly lost =/) is rediculous so some will be missing aspects...

Maybe I missed something, but I thought the point of the tournament was to determine who would be the grand champion of sorts. I see no good reason for there to be an order for the gym leaders, because that would only result in the first leaders getting a bunch of challenges and the later ones having little to none. I say let people challenge the people they want to challenge, in any order.

Yeah, I thought that's what the tournament was going determine too.

Let me reiterate since apparently this wasn't made clear.

The tournament will provide us with Leaders and one Champion at the end. Depending on who gets knocked out and when in the tournemant, we will provide challengers of the League with a suggested order (who's good to start with and who you should wait and train for).

Challengers need only defeat 8 Leaders for a prize of some sort (ribbon or something in the sig), but defeating all Leaders will earn you a better ribbon (higher rank) and defeating all Leaders and the Champion gives the highest ranked ribbon or medal or whatever we've decided on.

We were looking for a way this could be edited onto the left side (by the avatar or something) or some way that people couldn't just copy and paste that item. Don't know how that would work out, but if someone has an idea...

At least I think this is what we agreed on. If I'm wrong and someone remembers the exact details, please remind me. I think Mektar already made "ribbons" to go with this, if I'm not mistaken.

What if we had a "People who have earned the Gym's Badge/beat the Leader" piece in our gyms.

Something like this:

Code:
Challengers successsful:
Emin Jofit
Cactuar
Mektar
EvilPenguin
MasterChef
....

and then we keep a copy in real life just incase, for some unknown reason, the post that says that gets altered. That way we know who has beaten their gyms.

Sorry for not replying in a while, but I read EP's post and I just got thinking on an argument for Krisp to show that we REALLY need a sub forum. Well I'm going to reference other sites and state that it will be highly unorganized if we do not have our own sub forum, and heck, we could even make it the OFFICIAL Psypoke Gym League am I right?

Emin, I've been meaning to ask you, why haven't we argued for it to become Official?

Also, EP, Sion, Emin, Chef, and Mektar, do you think that we could pull out an argument and show Krisp that we could use a sub forum, because I really don't want to put all this time into coming up with a successful argument and then come to find nobody will back me up on with said argument.

Note that I only listed the last 4 people that I noticed post before me, as well as EP. That does not mean that other leaders cannot put their opinions forward. So all other leaders feel free to throw your opinion in as well.

@Psychic_Espeon_16: I was going to have everybody do something like that; we'll just have to remember to make edits every so often. After the tourney, I'm going to make a Gym Leader Guidelines type thing with some very general rules about what we all need to do.

By the way, I'm thinking about announcing tournament brackets tomorrow in a different thread. I'm just tired right now.

I suggest we not hold a tourney for the champion,

We ALL signed up to this league to be GYM LEADERS, not to be the champion

I say that the first person to beat any 12 of us is the champion, I say any 12 because we may have more leaders after some time, 12 because thats how many is normally required to become the champion (8 leaders and 4 elites) than they can fight the current champ for his or her title

Ether way I'm opting out of the tourney, (Still a gym leader)

We've spent over a month waiting to hold this tourney, and all that time we COULD have been taking challenges from the various n00bs that dare to challenge us

If you do decide to do a tourney I suggest you do use you leagues teams rather competitive teams, because
-A Emin Jofit has seen all your gym teams
-B Poor Type match ups would be unfair
-C The champion is the one that get to use a diverse team


On another note.....
A. My theme is Sandstorm, not ground (which means its Steel, Rock, Ground and Sand veil pokemon)

B. Evasion clause is not in the requirements to be a gym leader, one of my pokemon breaks it as part of its strategy,
Also Have any of you Play Pokemon Colosseum or XD Gale of darkness, Justy leader of the Pre-gym Has an evasion team that you must beat to continue the game
(Its the first thing you have to fight, Its full evasion Sand veil on most of his pokemon, all use sand attack and double team)
and beside the challenger can customize there team to defeat the gym leader

C. Arizona Photos! I'm Glad to be Back.
They have an entire town Named after me in Arizona, The trading post was amazing too!

I hear you about the evasion clause thing, one of my pokes relies on it to cause hell and in the battle frontier you've gotta fight it so why not here?

@/vXv\: We already agreed a long time ago on a League, E4, and a Champion decided by a tournament. We've since done away with the Elites for the sake of ease and progress, but we're keeping the idea of a Champion for the sheer fact that whoever wins is obviously strong enough to handle most competitors despite the lack of team diversity. This is also why I tried to encourage you guys to come up with out-of-the-box themes to prevent monotyping, but that was entirely up to applicant choice. I know some of us have very diverse teams whereas others are simply Electric or Water. That was the point of wildcards.

In reference to the Evasion Clause thing, those are rules you can decide within your own gym once we begin normal operations. I'm allowing you guys to make your own specific gym rules in addition to the main guidelines. They just have to be reasonable. "No Flamethrower, Protect, Iron Defense, Thunder Wave, Recover, or U-Turn" is stupid and outrageous whereas "No confusing" is a little more reasonable (these are hypothetical).

P.S. If you're opting out of the tournament, I have to place you in the lower tier of "Suggested first Leaders" for challengers. Nothing personal, you're just not competing for a spot.

Also, that brings us down to 10 people in the tournament since elementotrl never attempted to test battle me after I gave many, many indications that needed to be done by now. Here's how I will do that: 10 in the first round, 4 in the second round with the person with the best record from round 1 getting a bye (if you go 6-0, for instance), and the final round will be the top 3 in the round robin thingy Shina described a few posts ago. I'm going to go make up a tournament thread, like, right now.

I won't take it personal, but considering that some leaders here don't even EV train, it might be misleading

I'd happly fight 1 or 2 people to show how tough I am but I don't want to be champ

Oh, believe me, /vXv\, I know you're really strong. You mauled me in our battle. Point is it ain't very fair for me to place you any higher. Plus, the suggested list is just that: suggestions. No one is really "lower" than anyone else here. Just a suggested starting group. Thanks for being mature bout this.

If you win the tournament, you can decline to be champion - let the 2nd place finisher have it.

So if we win the tourney do we still get to be a gym leader? Or will we be out once a new champ beats us.

Also how's the "meet krisp on the chats" plan going?
