So this is the state of things; Garchomp quit in a rather unhelpful, unclassy, disrespectful, childish, and uncharacterful way on his profile, and JoltIce has not been officially fired for ignoring the league outright. Instead of replacing them, the number of gyms has been reduced to 8, and this will be the final number. Anyone who has the Volt and/or Soil Badges should remove them from their sigs. Note that this doesn't put anybody at a disadvantage as the number is reduced for everybody.
On the note of other gyms, Bakuzen hasn't been on in awhile, last I heard he was having issues getting a good Snorlax breed but the lack of contact is discouraging. Also, Anime if you still have issues with Wi-Fi times then I require that you send me a schedule for the OP of what times that you will be available, and I'd appreciate it that you don't ignore this request this time as it is mandatory.
Mike, the unfortunate state of things is that 3 gyms are currently in a shaky status so if something opens up there I will give you a shout for it.
And genetic, I'll gladly take your challenge, just not tonight as I am ready to crash here.
Finaly, Painter, don't be discouraged, lein's new Pokemon isn't that good theoretically.
