This lurking thing this is actually pretty amusing: I'm lurking Smogon right now (which I can do since I've already played
), and they have little asides to lurkers, like:
POST POST POST POST
To lurkers: Message!
It's like a game! Thanks Smogon!
Oh, also, we should watch what we say about them. I understand that this kind of tournament format lends itself to trash talk, but there's no need to be nasty. I don't believe we've crossed the line yet, but comments about how "Pokemon is their life" and "They are so competitive that ..." are certainly on their way. I mean, we wouldn't want to be characterized as just being dirt-poor-gamers-who-buy-second-hand-only, would we?
To lurkers: I tried to post on Smogon, but after registering I never got a confirmation e-mail. Did you guys
know what I was trying to do?
Also, Thunderhorse is trash. ;P (But seriously, let's play again! I could learn a lot from you!) Oh, and about the G&W CP: I lurked way before the tourney even started (for some reason, we knew it would be Smogon we'd be playing way before you knew it was CAG you'd play), and saw the Falco avatar. I had been playing G&W for a few days, so I thought "Hey, I'll practice up and use him!" Didn't quite make the cut, though, did he?
