The log hasn't been posted yet. -kicks wolf-

It took place last Sunday. The next one will likely be on next Sunday, I'd imagine. There have been some setbacks this week.

What do you feel you need to work on the most? Everything, I'm a complete noob
Is there anything we need to know about your schedule (like when you work, for example)? Well I wake up at 2pm usually till about 4am will be on a vacation until Friday the 15th starting on the 11th
Is there anything else you'd like to include about yourself? I find myself to be a quick learner, especially when i love the subject I would be ecstatic if picked up for tutoring soon

What do you feel you need to work on the most? I stopped playing onilne when BW was released in Japan. So I would like to learn all the new moves, strategies, and competive play mechanics.
Is there anything we need to know about your schedule (like when you work, for example)? I work 9am-9pm Mon-Thursday and Friday 9am-7pm. Free Most of the weekend.
Is there anything else you'd like to include about yourself? I tend to only play with my favorite pokemon, regardless if they're outclassed or UU tier. I don't see much of a point in battling with something if you don't like it.

What do you feel you need to work on the most? - I need to start from scratch, even though I know a lot about the Pokemon, I need to know what they're going to do for my team overall. My strategies are a glass cannon at best lol.
Is there anything we need to know about your schedule (like when you work, for example)?
-I work Mon- Fri 7:30 am until about 6 most days, but I also have a part time job 1 or two nights a week, but that varies.
Is there anything else you'd like to include about yourself? I just love Pokemon, but am pretty new to the metagame. I love strategies, setting up the perfect and unusual combos, and just having fun the way it was meant to be played. But I can become a problem for my opponent if need be :)

I am also on AIM sometimes, under the name EvilBoxMonkey :D

I'm pretty sure the log from the first class will be posted soon. C: As for the second class, it will be on Sunday 10th July. I don't know what time, I'm sure someone is going to swoop in amazingly fast and tell you soon though.

Vrai July 8th, 2011 3:03 PM

I presume it will be at the same time as the last class, which was 2 pm EST.

wolf July 8th, 2011 6:11 PM

hmm...we were going to plan the class today, but that didn't work out well. and i'll be mostly gone tomorrow. as a result, that means we'll have to delay the second class further to next sunday, and we don't want to rush this like last time. will everyone be fine with it being on next sunday, a get-together day? it should be only one hour at most this time around, and we could include the tournaments at the end of the class for the gt one (like, add the win/loss points to it). :o thoughts?

also, once i make a few final changes, the log will be posted shortly (as in, tomorrow if i manage to get on then).

annnnd the one-on-one tutoring will be starting once the tutors are done preparing (i assume that should only take a few days?).

sorry about this guys, i've had a lot of my plate lately. ;( once i get majority of it done, this will progress a lot faster.

What do you feel you need to work on the most? well i have never been really good at wi-fi battles, i need help with breeding and training, like with EV's and IV's. I also need help with the likes of strategies and movesets, so alot of help is needed.
Is there anything we need to know about your schedule (like when you work, for example)? Summer holidays! so i have no school for 6 more weeks, i have training monday and thursdays, but im fine every other night, and at the weekend.

This is a great idea, I've been waiting for something like this for ages!

Yoak July 13th, 2011 5:21 PM

This is a great idea! Only, I'll probably miss the classes because I'll be gone all next week... :(
Will it be accessable to me when I get back?
Also, I hope class 2 will be when I get back

it's most likely going to be this sunday if all goes well with planning it. ;-; however, the log will still be posted, same for the first class. and we'll still have more classes in the future for you to participate in.

thanks everyone for signing up! i'll see if the tutors are ready to start the one-on-one tutoring.

What do you feel you need to work on the most?: I've have a bit of experience playing Pokemon on a competitive level. I have general knowledge of the importance of IVs, EVs, items, etc. However what I'd like to improve on is my actual team building and battle skills, such as providing better synergy with my team and getting to know plays and strategies I should apply again certain team builds.
Is there anything we need to know about your schedule (like when you work, for example)?: I normally wake up around 10 ~ 11 AM Central Time, and I normally take 2 hours to work on my writing and work out. Although anytime in between is when I'm open.

I've been love with the competitive Pokemon scene, and it's really been the only other meta game I've been interested in. I'm glad this tutoring program is up and running, and hope the tutors don't crash from all the applications. Anyways, hope I'm not too late.

Tsvet July 16th, 2011 2:01 PM

No new post and the first did not got edited, just want to confirm two things:
Is the log of the first class lost forever? :B
Will we have the second class tomorrow and at what time?

Khreep July 18th, 2011 8:42 PM

It's been over a month since this program was first brought public and there still has yet to be any tutoring. Don't take this the wrong way, but you guys have to do a lot better than this if you want the program to be successful. How can you expect to generate interest if there's no consistent sense of organization or direction? This failure represents the current stagnant era of the battle stadium. Don't turn this into a "Strategies and Mechanics" redux. Step your game up -- please.

To be honest, I'm a tutor and I completely agree with this. :x I don't know what happened with the others, but I've asked if they wanted to plan the class (the one that was supposed to happen this past sunday) but I blatantly got ignored by everyone. I asked again on Sunday, only to be ignored again. Perhaps I should organize it. :/ But I definitely wouldn't be able to do it alone.

Also, I'm confused as to what everyone is signing up for. If we have 7 pages of student sign-ups, and all these people expect 1on1 service, I'm afraid we will quite literally never get through the entire list. Classes require no sign-ups you guys. You just show up. xD

Vrai July 18th, 2011 9:00 PM

Aero and I will get onto things tomorrow. This isn't going to die.

I hate to hijack this thread, but this topic is relevant anyways.

1) I am willing to help you organize the events and try my hand at networking/advertising to get people involved in this and in the CBC at large. I have some pretty great contacts but it depends on their availability and willingness.

2) I'm also one of those who applied for assistance but I really only need to work on teambuilding (lol... "only"). When I use pretty solid teams I can handle myself. Prediction and thought process is more of a practice and common sense thing than anything else. My point is I am also willing to get involved in the teaching part of the classes (if you were to organize your own version of this) if you or some other credible tutor could help me get through this. My teambuilding gets bogged down by overthinking and I need to fix that. Could possibly be solved in even one session then I'd be good to go as a tutor.

3) We should maybe continue this discussion through a PM if need be.

wolf July 18th, 2011 9:25 PM

I haven't had any time to bother with this at all. I am trying to get around to revamping the T&E and In-Game rules, along with preparing clans because apparently I need to get them done as fast as possible. I also had to get both Get-Together tournaments set up in the process, while helping a few users with their projects and then making sure I participate in PC's diplomacy game properly. Not to mention that there's a lot going on in my life currently which severely limits my time on PC. I wasn't able to come on Sunday due to unexpected events, so the second class couldn't have happened regardless if we did plan it. All of this at once didn't give me much chances to plan the second class. However, now that I have some things out of the way, I am sure the second class will be up and running next Sunday. I will get someone to co-host it so that if something like before doesn't happen again, I won't have to cancel it just because I wasn't able to attend it. Again, I apologize for all this, I took on too many things and overworked myself.

As for one-on-one tutoring, I am still waiting on the tutors to prepare for it, like I said before. Apparently, Vrai and Aero mentioned that they're setting up an outline for teaching. Vrai agreed to delay the one-on-one tutoring until they finish. I haven't received any word about it at all, but I was going to bug them about it again soon.

But anyway, I am not giving up on this or going to let this die since I know how much we've worked on to get this far. I never did give up on it.
