Apprentice Program - Round Twenty Six

[the pugilist]

Also BK, I'll contact you on shoddy sometime or MSN regarding my match with Frosty.

Also why does everyone think I'm a good player lol? I'm clearly an average player.

 

[Grimvoir]

My opponent and I are having trouble getting the match done due to HUGE difference in time zone. >.>

EDIT: I messaged him, then he replied, I replied back, then he replied back, and I replied back, and his last message came on the 21st. It's been 3 days since his reply.

 

[Blue Kirby]

You have 24 hours remaining as of this post to get your matches done.

I have no intention of holding this up any longer. If need be, I'll make calls based on activity and coin flips where applicable.

 

[Gandalf the blue]

@Grimvoir: I am now online for about 2 hours, and then after 4 hours again for about 4 hours xD I cant stay online for much longer though

 

[phalanx]

should be able to battle today

 

[Frosty]

Gotta love timezone issues.

Anyway, I don't think I will be able to face puggy. The times for me to face him are around 4:00 AM (I tried it once with no success <_<) and tommorow morning (which is after the deadline and I will be away doing a test), so, uh, that will be quite interesting.

Maybe we will figure something out. Maybe <_<;. Either way, just a heads up.

 

[Ouro]

Won 5-0 versus phalanx. Will PM log.

I can't help but brag about how I almost won 6-0 :-P

 

[phalanx]

only because my team cant counter one of the pokes :(

 

[Colonel M]

Won and PM'd the log. Sorry if the font tags are on it. Not sure how to copy -> paste with it straightforward other than Microsoft Word (Notepad bundles it all together in about three lines).

 

[Blue Kirby]

Round 1 has now ended.

Unfinished battles will be decided based on activity and where necessary, coin flips.

Stay tuned for Round 2!

[Ouro]

Gandalf the blue vs Da Letter El - Crowd favorite
Colonel M vs Sikh Assassin - Haven't battled Colonel M before but I know Sikh has developed some skills.
Zakkusu vs Rhykune - I've seen Rhykune's name mentioned a couple times. Stupid reason to predict but oh well.

I'd be stupid if I didn't think I could win against puggy.

 

[User 12783]

Gandalf the blue vs Da Letter El - I've heard he's really good and solid, so he'll probably win.
Puggy vs Ike and Tina - I've battled Ike and Tina and he seems good.
Zakkusu vs Rhykune - I was partners with him in the UU Alliance tournament plus he's a solid player

 

[Rhykune]

Gandalf the blue vs Da Letter El - I've played him, he's pretty skilled.
Puggy vs Ike and Tina - Same as above.
Colonel M vs Sikh Assassin - He's doing great lately.

 

[Da Letter El]

Puggy vs Ike and Tina: I've beaten Ike before and hear Puggy's ok, so Puggy it is.
Colonel M vs Sikh Assassin: Same as above
Zakkusu vs Rhykune: faced once with an alt, and he was a good opponent, I don't remember who won. No clue who the other guy is, either.

Zomg, someone picked me? :). Well, can't dissapoint my fans.

 

[ToF]

Gandalf the blue vs Da Letter El - Dunno
Puggy vs Ike and Tina - You have to win something sometime or later.
Colonel M vs Sikh Assassin - I've personally helped Colonel M in the past.
Zakkusu vs Rhykune - Still say he is gonna win it all.

 

[Taylor]

Ganalf the blue vs Da Letter El
Puggy vs Ike and Tina
Colonel M vs Sikh Assassin
Zakkusu vs Rhykune

Well...me and Jabba would like our former apprentice to win it all, so we'll be cheering him on regardless of who he plays.

 

[Wayff]

Gandalf the blue vs Da Letter El
Puggy vs Ike and Tina
Colonel M vs Sikh Assassin
Zakkusu vs Rhykune

 

[Aeroblacktyl]

I just found it funny that the first 4 prediction posts was a battler from each of the pairing.

I guess I'll predict the whole right side to win.

 

[darkie]

Gandalf the blue vs Da Letter El
Puggy vs Ike and Tina - I think this will be a good match.
Colonel M vs Sikh Assassin
Zakkusu vs Rhykune - JAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

 

[Colonel M]

I'm allowed to do this, right?

Gandalf the Blue vs Da Letter El
Puggy vs Ike and Tina
Zakkusu vs Rhykune

Da Letter El: Faced him before and was a pretty good opponent.
Puggy: Heard a lot about him. Did face Ike and Tina before however, but not Puggy. Although I guess this isn't much of a "upset", is it?
Rhykune: Also faced him before and always made some solid teams.

 

[RedSP]

Gandalf the blue vs Da Letter El- he's pretty good
Puggy vs Ike and Tina- I've only faced Ike and Tina once but he seemed alright

 

[Blue Kirby]

Just a reminder, you guys have 3 days to finish your matches.

 

[Gandalf the blue]

I hope we will get the battle done within the next few hours or tomorrow morning, If that doesnt work we probably wont face us :/

 

[Da Letter El]

Ugh, missed gandalf. And I could have faced him, too, if I had checked smogon earlier, but he couldn't face me the time we planned for, which makes me go grrrrrrr. I hope he gets my pm, because his time zone sucks (or does mine suck? hmmmm). Damn my urge to do homework before checking smogon today. Change of plans= :(
