PokeCommunity Unofficial Trading Card League! (Skype/IMs preferred methods of play)

[Vespoid]

Yep, It was fun! Zoroark came to the rescue on several occasions by using foul play to turn warrior rapter's own pokemon attacks against him. But in the end, his Emboar's flare blitz took care of zoroark with one shot...leaving only grass pokemon for him to deal with.

Overall, it was a great experience and I am glad to have had the chance to play against a member of this community. I'll be looking forward to playing again soon.

[LAF]

Did you play via webcam or text? I am interested in playing but I do not have a webcam

[Warrior Rapter]

mainly webcam, the only text we did is bc i couldnt find my mic, but trust me, tcgs online r recommended done with webcam or a program, not just text based bc there r so many variations of some cards

[donavannj]

I recommend having PokeGym's Research Tower open in your browser when you play over Skype or IM. That way you can look up a card quite quickly, and you'll learn the sets better as well, since text sometimes changes on cards that get reprinted.

[Yougirasu]

Can I put my name down for this. I don't actually have a deck at the minute, but with the lax nautre towards rotated cards I could bring back my favorite deck that got rotated just before it could have been successful. I'd be available at most times, but that could change with an upcoming interview and it'd probably be best to have anyone who wants to challenge me to send me a PM rather than me adding my MSN to my account. It's become rather cluttered with inactive/blocked people and whilst I clear it, I'd rather know who's adding me and why.

*trots off to build up a deck*

[Jeremy]

May I join, sweeties? I don't have a good webcam, but I do have Skype. My deck is alright at the moment.

[donavannj]

I'll add the both of you to the first post as soon as I get a stable internet connection.

[IronManftw]

I'm down, I might be using some older cards in my deck though, only because I perfer those. I'll put together a decent deck asap.
My skype is sydneystark. (with the period)
just message me saying you're from pc and ready to play! :D

Okay. Added you into the first post. And I will finally update the standings to account for Vespoid and Warrior Rapter's match.

EDIT: And I may have found a viable play method via www.playtcg.me, which is a part of the BebesSearch website.

[Bleak]

www.playtcg.me is fantastic. Really great way to play without being required to either own all the cards, or make proxies for them.

Glad to see that pokecommunity is doing more TCG stuff, as well. I may have to drop in a little more often.

[Warrior Rapter]

anyone up for a game over skype?

[Rocket_Executive]

AHHH this is happening and I had no idea. Ok Donavannj I am down for this, I don't have skype but I guess I could try to figure it out. I'll repost when I do.

[Vespoid]

I'll be online for a few hours, so let me know if you wanna get a game going via skype. (currently 4:30pm GMT)

[Jack Kentnon]

Holy Crap! Yes please! I'd have to get a skype account, and i haven't played since HGSS Triumphant, but hot damn i'd like to play

[Warrior Rapter]

Donavannj, was really a pleasure battling you, the games were (again, going by prizes remaining):

4-0
5-0
5-6
6-3
6-0

Also, something donavann and I got to talking about while battling, here's something everyone could do to help keep track of their cards. It can be done in an spreadsheet document, and the following is a screenshot:



I have a separate sheet for Energy, Trainers (in alphabetical order), Each generation of pokemon (organized in national dex order then by set), and a page for the totals. For some, it might be hard to get a list like this at first, but believe me, it can help with the deck making process, especially when you can go to the list and see how much of everything you have.

[Jack Kentnon]

So i'm Jack_Kenton on skype, and my scedual is as follows:

*ALL TIMES ARE IN MOUNTAIN TIME (US AND CANADA) -7GMT*

Tuesday - Saturday 8:30 pm -3am. Sunday: 2-4pm, then again at 11pm 'till whenever. Monday: 2 pm 'till whenever. MSN is probably the best way to contact me. That's [email protected], or bug me on skype.


Like I said, I havent played since triumphant, but luckly that doesn't seem to matter here.

[donavannj]

@Bleak: Glad to hear someone's vouching for that. I have yet to try it, myself, as I've yet to build a decklist on Bebe's Search to use with it.

You may not need to get a Skype, although I do find it a superior experience to playing over MSN IMs, since you can have witty banter and such. :P

MSN does have the ability to use webcams, last I had checked, though.

And you could play people over various websites and programs. There's a lot more programs out there than there was last I had checked to play the game.

I'll add you in tomorrow. I haven't played at any tournaments since Unleashed was released, myself. n_n;;

I'll add in your availability when I add you into the table. The CSS in that first post is a bit annoying at times for me.


Also, if anyone wants to co-host the Get-Together's TCG tournament with me, let me know so I can let Hiroshi Sotomura know. We'll probably use a program or playtcg.me to do the tournament since people won't need to have cards then.

[Samurai★Rocket]

I would like to play, but I would rather communicate with email. I swear to be honest.

[Jack Kentnon]

So Vespoid and I just finished a fantastic round of combat. It was a best outta three game. I won round one, he won round two, and i won round three to break the draw.

Allthough I don't remember who took how many prizes, sorry :/

Well, you won't have to use IMs or Skype as soon as I figure out which of the alternative methods works the best. n_n

Ah, oh well, that's fine. I'm just keeping track of them for fun and to give people a better idea of their opponent's skill level. And I count any individual match as a game for simplicity's sake.

I'll update the standings later. Been a bit busy today.
