Luther Olathes April 9th, 2009 1:32 PM

I have beaten RAcastBlaster in a match for 1 BP.

richdevildog559 April 9th, 2009 2:20 PM

Beat Desolation101 for 1 BP...that makes it 6 points for me...count me in the next round as soon as i get a hold of World King to donate a pokemon. (4-1)

Desolation101 April 9th, 2009 3:13 PM

i am out of points....maybe I will donate later

Xairmo April 9th, 2009 3:18 PM

hmmm I might consider donating a pokemon tomorrow or something

Two, and you need 8 to qualify for round 2. We'll take shinies, EV'd/IV'd pokes, events, and legends with good natures/IVs and such, and you can talk to World King about accepting your donation ^___^

Well, you already donated something, so you've already received your two BP. You can certainly donate something else if you want but...I'm gonna say no on the clones. We want all of our prizes to be authentic ;D

Forci Stikane April 9th, 2009 5:26 PM

Wait, so clones are not acceptable prizes? What about the Pokemon offered from World King's thread, then? I was under the belief that he cloned his Pokemon.

I didn't know he cloned his pokemon...Regardless, I'll see what Volkner has to say about it.

richdevildog559 April 9th, 2009 6:08 PM

come on World King... reply to my VM please so i can get into round 2... (doesnt want to battle for 2 more points...what a chicken...) "shut up self.." lol

Aurafire April 9th, 2009 6:39 PM

I talked with Volkner, and clones are now considered acceptable prizes.

World King April 9th, 2009 6:46 PM

Hey, now. I never said mine were uncloned. And yeah, if clones weren't allowed, 70% of our donors and sponsors wouldn't even be sponsoring us. So it's only logical to accept clones, isn't it?

wolf April 9th, 2009 6:58 PM

Okay! XD I might clone my Mew (I am checking if it is legit, got it through a trade), PR2 Manaphy, TRU Shaymin, and TRU Regigigas. =3 Maybe not all of them, but if I have time to clone them, then I will.

World King April 9th, 2009 7:04 PM

Rdd, if you want to get to R2, go ahead. Aura, give him his 2 points. I'll take his prize soon enough...

World King April 9th, 2009 8:58 PM

Well, Xairmo, just VM me on the details on what do you want to donate.

Outlander April 9th, 2009 9:18 PM

yay more qualifiers =D hopefully more people make it in soon

wolf April 9th, 2009 9:30 PM

Hopefully my Wi-Fi will be up tomorrow, then I can actually battle. =P Stupid Spring weather... D=

Xairmo April 11th, 2009 7:54 PM

Indeed you do. =] If Aura hasn't added that yet, he will when he sees this. Hopefully we get at least ten qualifiers before we pass out cards..

This shall be dubbed as Teh Sux ESO. Haha. The first two were way more active, I assure everyone..could be because none of us coordinators are entered in this one, save for WK.

Xairmo April 11th, 2009 8:53 PM

Wolflare v. Xairmo = Wolflare for 2 BP.

wolf April 11th, 2009 8:57 PM

I almost thought that Ice Punch would have killed me... Anyways, yes, I won. =P That was a good match. =D

Edit: *Go posts on YouTube*<-If you want. =P But, I will post it in the Platinum Terminal, hehehe.

Aurafire April 11th, 2009 9:15 PM

Alright folks. It's been a month since round one started, and despite that recent surge of battles a couple of days ago, this is taking way too long. Therefore, Volkner and I have decided to lower the number of entrants into round two from 16 to 10. Since we already have 6 qualifiers, we'll allow one more week for round one matches. That means that on Sunday, April 19th, we'll be handing out as many wildcard entries as we need to get to 10 battlers. Essentially, we're doing away with our new round two we had planned due to lack of activity (which I was looking forward to seeing >:O) and formatting it differently to accommodate 10 battlers instead of 16.

It's probably best this was since over half the people who signed up haven't even looked for a match. But we do appreciate everyone else who's gotten some battles in and donated. So let's make next week a nice and active one and have 4 more people qualify normally! :D

1 week is more than enough time, ill be sure to get my battles done....

Luther Olathes April 12th, 2009 8:21 AM

I better kick it into overdrive, then. >_>

wolf April 12th, 2009 11:17 AM

Reaper121 vs. Wolflare = Wolflare for 1 point. We had a connection error, but I was winning most of the time. (I can send either of you a small battle log of what happened)

Alright, I'll add your name. Keep in mind there's only 3 more slots for round two, so you'll have to go pretty quick if you want a shot. Make sure you read all the rules and such, then you can head over to the battle thread and start looking for some battles ;D

World King April 13th, 2009 8:14 PM

3 more slots, people. So you better hurry up and battle. 1 week is more than enough for all of us.

And don't forget all participants that don't make it to R2 (If they were kicked out or time wasn't in their side this time xD) will still have a consolation prize on my behalf, so losing won't feel so bad at all. =D

Luther Olathes April 13th, 2009 9:09 PM

I defeated Suzumiya Haruhi in a match for 1 point.

Suzumiya Haruhi April 13th, 2009 9:18 PM

Aw I lost >.<

Congrads to Luther ^ _ ^

Anyone wanna vs?

Luther Olathes April 13th, 2009 10:32 PM

I have defeated Haruhi in a rematch for 2 points.

Forci Stikane April 14th, 2009 5:32 PM

I have just defeated Luther Olathes in a match for 1 point, bringing my total to 6. I will contact World King about donating for the final two tomorrow, but in the meantime, you can go ahead and save a spot in Round Two for me.

The Graceful Assassin April 14th, 2009 7:52 PM

I just defeated Luther Olathes bringing me to 3 points...

And that was only my 2nd match in this ESO..

yea its right, atleast for our battle score cause he was my only loss and it was posted in the Battle Request Forum, pg 5 i think...

so with his win with jayjay, Jas66 should be at 5 BP.

Suzumiya Haruhi April 15th, 2009 2:52 PM

We accept events, shinies, EV trained Pokemon, IV bred Pokemon, or egg move raised Pokemon as prizes. Regular Pokemon don't count, I'm afraid, they're too easy to get and don't make great prizes. =/

But you can ask one of the other losers to see if they want to have a match so one of you can get back in. Orrr you can find one of the above prize ideas!

Jas_66 April 16th, 2009 7:05 AM

yh ok soz about that wat rich said was rite...
so i only 5 ESO Points.

Aurafire April 16th, 2009 11:20 AM

World King has just informed me that he won't have access to his DS for a while, so if you still plan on donating, please contact either Volkner or myself and we will take your prize donations for the time being :D

World King April 16th, 2009 11:47 AM

I agree to what Aurafire said. However, once I get a DS again, I'll ask them to send me all prizes received, and I will check everyone's legitimacy, like I've done with all other prizes. So, if I see any irregularity with them, you will know. So for those planning on donating legit-looking hacks; think twice.

Volkner's Apprentice April 18th, 2009 8:37 AM

Alright folks, you have until midnight tonight to qualify normally, then we're placing in some wildcards and posting the Round 2 pairings. Hurry up and get some battles in if you want to be up for consideration!

Crap. Well my Grandpa is visiting from Texas but I could try to do a match.

Volkner's Apprentice April 18th, 2009 10:16 PM

TIME FOR THE SECOND ROUND!

Alright folks, here's the deal, normally we're a very creative tournament with unique rounds and a fun time but unfortunately, this ESO has sucked. For our third showing of the tournament, I guess the months of February-April don't produce very active battlers, so we're stuck with doing traditional brackets for the next round.

Congrats to all 12 participants who have made it through. In order to keep things even, we've handed out four wildcards (we randomized them out of six possible competitors). Here's how the second round will go down!

The top four seeded players (based on how good your record is, NOT based on how fast you qualified) will receive opening round byes. The rest will play their Opening Round matches in standard 6v6 single battles, no ubers or customization of the matches allowed. Sadly, I don't have a nice and neat fancy bracket maker to post for everyone, so it's just in writing haha. Without further ado, here's the bracket!

Opening Round: Championship Tournament

(1) World King-bye
Goketsu
vs.
Dark Wolf

Junoliv
vs.
MasterUmbreon
(3) Wolflare-bye

(4) Forci Stikane-bye
(WC) Xairmo
vs.
(WC) Luther Olathes

(WC) The Graceful Assassin
vs.
(WC) Jas_66
(2) richdevildog559-bye

The randomizer pitted the wildcards against each other, which is kind of interesting. Anyway, so like I said, standard singles matches. No ubers, doubles, UU, Little Cup, 3v3s or anything else, just 6v6 singles. ;)

If you didn't already catch on, if you're unseeded and you win your Opener, you face the seed next to your group. I'll give you guys almost two weeks to complete opening rounds, so by the end of the night (EST) on Friday, May 1st all four matches should be done. Please, for goodness sake, don't take that long to battle. XD

Good luck and remember even if you lose, you'll still be in the pool for more prizes for making top 12!

Denzer April 18th, 2009 10:51 PM

How exactly does this work out? Sorry but I don't understand. After I battle Goketsu who do I battle? And I think the months of Feb-April are busy because of end of year exams.

Jas_66 April 19th, 2009 3:46 AM

Was this bracket too difficult to comprehend? XD Well, I'll have Aura put spaces between those who receive byes and the Opening matches.

Yes, Mukka is right Dark Wolf, you'll be facing Goketsu and the winner faces World King. Jas_66, you're battling Graceful with the winner taking on richdevildog559.

Haha... I mean no disrespect nor offense towards Luther Olathes at all, but I rather hope that Xairmo wins this match, just so I do not have to battle the same user three times in a row. I would not be surprised if he was getting tired of battling me all the time, either.

Aurafire April 22nd, 2009 3:28 AM

Uh oh, we can't have the ESO on the second page! >:O

You should be contacting your Round 2 opponents and getting these battles done as soon as possible. We already had to cut a round due to inactivity =/

don't worry Aura me and Assasin have already fixed a date for our battle.

Volkner's Apprentice April 23rd, 2009 7:12 PM

Yessir; you fight the winner of those two.

Whoops. Juno, disregard what I said about facing World King after Umbreon if you win, you'll be facing Wolflare.

Jas, Gyrados' don't stay in green health after a stone edge from anything, unless you're running like, 252 HP / 252 Defense and an Impish nature or something (which no one runs), and Infernapes don't survive surfs from anything at less than half health, let alone a Starmie. So, basically I need you to confirm what Graceful is saying. I put my trust and Graceful and know that he wouldn't lie about this or D/C because he was losing.

I know Starmie can't learn stone edge, but Graceful said your Infernape was in yellow health when it got hit by surf. I don't know who used stone edge on Gyra...

He said it was in yellow, and you say it was at full HP. Either way, it can't take a surf from Starmie. So...we have conflicting stories here =/

The Graceful Assassin April 25th, 2009 9:27 AM

Infernape was at full health and survived the surf in yellow HP which is impossible....

not to mention my scizor used swords dance then bullet punch and you were still in green hp

World King April 25th, 2009 9:35 AM

TGA does have a reputation as a good battler around here, and he never DCs. Not even after all the defeats I've given him xD

Wait, wha? Dos in green after Stone Edge?!?! Ape on Yellow after Surf?!?!?! Dammit! Had I not lost my DS, I could've checked those Pokés very well. And

Aurafire April 25th, 2009 9:37 AM

Jas, the standard min HP / min Sp defense infernape is always OHKO'd by Starmie, I just ran a calc. So even if he was at full health, he can't survive. So I don't know what to tell you...You say that it was at full health, but that honestly doesn't make a difference. I'd feel much better if you could send me it's stats so I can check them.

Richard Lynch April 25th, 2009 9:37 AM

Infernape survived a Starmie's Surf? Something is wrong there... even with a +SpD nature, 252 EVs in HP and SpD, I find it hard to believe.

And about Gyarados, I'd like to know its Nature and EV spread. Gyarados can be amazingly bulky when trained right, even when dealing with super effective hits. If the Stone Edge wasn't STABed (and depending on the attacker), it's all too possible to survive in decent standing, but surviving in Green is pushing it bit.

However, the deal with Infernape is well enough to suspect in general.

Volkner's Apprentice April 25th, 2009 9:39 AM

Mm, in this case we'll have to go with Graceful on this, sorry Jas. You need to check out your Pokémon and start from scratch on some teams. It's really easy to get caught using Pokémon that are CLEARLY hacked around here, as most trainers know when they see it.

So with this, Graceful will move on to the Quarter-Finals, I apologize Jas_66 but we don't allow rematches when someone is caught with hacked Pokémon. Everyone knows Infernapes cannot survive a STAB Surf from a Starmie no matter what EV spreads they're running. (Unless the Starmie is like, Adamant or something..and I think Graceful is smart enough to not use something like that XD)

You'll still receive consolation and prizes for getting this far though, Jas, considering we have no proof of you using hacks in the Round 1. Sorry about this, but you're free to enter the next ESO after this one is finished and try again.

I second Richard on that one...

Wait, wha? Richard?! Hey, Rich! :D W.K. says hi to you! *offers cookie*

Aurafire April 25th, 2009 9:41 AM

Well, if Graceful is running max SP attack and timid nature, it does like 118% to infernape. Therefore it's pretty much impossible for it to survive.

Jas, we're not ganging up on your or anything, but you have to know how this sounds. Like I said, if you want to send me your infernape's stats I can try to draw a clearer conclusion.

well in this case it was swampert vs. Gyrados so you have intimidate plus my Swampert is more of a bulky water than an offensive type. So i knew Stone edge wasnt going to OHKO but i thought it survived with a little too much health. Plus it was shiny

Also a tad sketchy.

Alright, yeah, for a final decision Jas can show Aura the Pokémon's stats via trade, and if it turns out something is amiss or Jas doesn't want to show them, Graceful moves on.

But for now, those other first round matches getting done would be nice. XD

World King April 25th, 2009 9:48 AM

Well, or maybe Jas will show him some other team with exactly the same Pokémon; I've seen people do that loads of times, so even now we can't be sure...
