Yes, I have to apologize for that, although the fault is not mine this time. Just seconds before I was about to post my mom disconnected the internet, and I've been unable to find the stray wireless for the past few days. Everything is totally ready, and I can post it the second I get home tonight. Also, I'll allow Hyperlisk double challenges since he asked last night, and I told him I would prefer to wait until after I posted. By the same courtesy, I would extend doubles to Mael and BottomGuy, but they don't have such a debt in badges as to make use of it.

[Hyperlisk]

lol, me asking to battle:

(10:14:20 PM) Hyperlisk: BATTLLEELELELELLELELLELE
(10:14:55 PM) Darkly Amethyst: I'm still posting last nights logs, and Mael's already challenged; so after him/that. Also, the Dark Gym will be up tonight, if you want to wait for that.
(10:15:08 PM) Hyperlisk: BATTTTTLLLLEEEEEDELKELEL'
(10:15:14 PM) Darkly Amethyst: >.>;;

Amazing how I've been failing I might just change my team. It makes me cry on the inside...

[LightAwakener]

Fuck year 2 badges
Cy poast mai shit.

[Amethyst]

The night's challenges are all posted at once.

So, for anyone who hadn't yet noticed, the long-awaited 8th gym was posted, and promptly defeated by Hyperlisk and BottomGuy.
Next up is... Ehh.. I've been changing the order all day.... Let's say.... Grass!

[Maelstrom]

I dunno, i may use my parallel team lead by aggron to take advantage of the extra challenges. =P

[Hyperlisk]

Hurray for winning! I wanna read my log~!

[Amethyst]

For my own sanity, I'm going to officially restructure the timing of these events. A brief explanation in my defense- Last week, I had plenty of spare time each weeknight after rehearsal, and had close to nothing to do during or for school. This changed rather quickly, and my weekend and long nights have been suddenly eaten away by family and financial issues. Furthermore, I can no longer depend on staying up to compensate until ridiculous hours of the morning, borrowing the local stray wireless when our local net shuts down, as that stray network has for the past several days failed to appear. Finally, I suddenly find myself lacking the time to complete assignments for several of my classes, and an upcoming show is going to further decrease my available time.
Excusesexcusesexcuses.

This is not to say that this challenge will be halting in anyway.

Everyone who's played so far challenges me over IM. This is preferable, as it allows me to enact a new order to the challenges. But I often sign onto IM whenever I'm on my computer, just to talk to people, even if I'm not currently available for challenges. When there were only five or so challenges per day, this was not an issue, and it was all much more manageable. We're up to around thirteen or so each day now, which complicates things a bit. So here's a quick rundown of how this is going to play out henceforth, from my end (this is also my pledge)-

-I will sign on as I normally would as I please, but this does not mean that I will be accepting challenges.

-At the first reasonable moment, I will upload all logs from the previous night's challenges.

-If I am able to, I will post the next gym at this time.

-After logs/gyms are posted, I will then set my IM status to a certain Away message. If I appear Away on IM, that will be the indication that I am accepting challenges at that time.

-Once I have set that status, if you want to make a challenge, message me informing me of the names of the leaders you intend to challenge.

-Please plan all of your day's challenges at that time.

-I should acknowledge your challenges, and I will then place them into the cycle.

-When it is your turn, I will IM you back informing you which leader you will be facing. If you don't affirm within five minutes, I will move on to the next person. Your challenge won't be lost; you'll just have to wait until the next time you come up on the cycle.

-Gym leaders will be posted as soon as they are ready, given that the previous gym leader has been defeated. This should never be more than three days. I will still attempt to prepare them within one; but it's not something I can guarantee.


By the way,


Hah, wow, I wasn't thinking. Your name just shows as Stars on the card. I'll change it at your first update though.

[Maelstrom]

Right mate, take yer time. Wish I could give you some of my free time, but that's how things go.

[Stars]

Nah, you can leave it as Stars. Although I may or may not change a move or two now that I know we can use duplicate items...and you get to use Double Team for some reason. <_<

EDIT: Eh, I'll leave them as they are, though I do plan to have some fun with my items, myes.

EDIT 2: Although I'm not so keen on the Sleep Clause being gone...

[Amethyst]

The 9th gym is finally up. Should've been up last night, but I suffered technical difficulties again.
This is another one I wish I'd done earlier... Oh well.

BottomGuy took it- next up is Flying, I believe.



Guys, I failed. For anyone who beat Florinia, only the second half of the battle was logged. I'll ensure this doesn't happen again in the future.

[Amethyst]

It's over the hill, and the flying gym is taking off!

[Stars]

After thinking about it, I'd like to change Kingdra's Hydro Pump to the ubiquitous Surf. As usual, we can wait until I get a badge to update my card.

Speaking of which, I haven't been able to come online in the evenings because books for two of my classes arrived in the mail later than I needed them, so I'm trying to catch up with those (one of them is a novel that I have to write a paper on by next Monday). I'll work towards catching up on badges when I can spare more time.

[E.Nigma]

i wanna see the other 8 badges/gym peoples

[Amethyst]

In time. They might be revealed faster if you joined and help kick their arses.


I failed to post this yesterday, but BottomGuy shot the flying gym down, and so next up is Ice!
Oh, by the way, Ice is already up, in fact.

[E.Nigma]

I would but I haven't even bothered opening my copy of diamond XD i bought it the day it came out. silly me

[BottomGuy]

Oh, and by the way, I already shot Ice down, too. I do believe I am up by 3 badges against Mael, hurrah hurrah.

[Amethyst]

Oh, and by the way, Ground is up next.

Hah, BottomGuy, I see you've taken the liberty of manually updating your own card.

[Maelstrom]

Don't worry, I should be back in full fighting force soon! I can't believe I'm still the only one close enough to rival BG. Where the other pokemasters at?!


Edit: Nvm, Hyperlisk has entered the ranks!

[Amethyst]

I'd just like to say that this is challenge is intense. Just generally.
The database file in which I keep all trainer and leader teams and badges has now grown to over 9000 100 layers. If you know anything about image editing, you will know that that is rather ridiculous.

Also, it's been three weeks since we started this, so let's see where everybody stands right now-

Stars and Skull have yet to battle
Nateh- 0, as he just created an improved new team
MaelAlt- 1
Kamau- 1
Monkeydog- 2
LightAwakener- 3
Hyperlisk- 7
Maelstrom- 9
BottomGuy- 11

Personally, I like how BottomGuy is at the bottom of that list. And yet, with all badges so far, he's at the top.
All of them except for one, that is-
Ground is up. ...or down? But not out. 12th gym is ready to roll--
