Pleeeeeease, let's just do this and move on. Nationals are over and nothing will ever change that (till next year ^.6)
That's awesome! I wouldn't want to be interviewed, lol.
I don't think you understand the one thing people who were arguing against what you did and the result of it were saying. What would have happened doesn't matter. The intent of throwing away a match you had 100% already one and the fact that Nintendo doesn't follow their own rules is the problem. That's the same problem I have with the lack of Alakapimp's DQ. Obviously with the RNG hacking Pokemon is going to make no difference in matches, just like your match wouldn't have made a difference in the standings, but when there's proof that someone used an external device, that person must be DQ'd. If Nintendo doesn't want to enforce their no-hacking policy, then they should take it out of the rules. And if they don't want to enforce self-ko clause, they should also take it out of their rules since it can make a huge difference. With self-ko clause when you have the lead 2-1 in the game your Pokemon will rarely want to use protect(the consequences can be seen in TheMaskedNitpicker's really old warstory), but without it, the game will now revolve around explosion when you're about to lose. Also in the best 2 out of 3 matches, if you win the first game, you can sub in your 2 other Pokemon and have your team become an imprison/explosion team or a Helping Hand/explosion team if you're feeling gutsy and just make the last two matches end in a tie(or a win if your opponent can't handle that kind of team, which should be unlikely since there are a lot of Pokemon who do well vs that team).
I seriously hope they don't pull that nonsense for Worlds :/
My guess you got interviewed by Either Brad (Publicity). he is an awesome guy, but he mainly works behind-the-scenes.
Yes, which is one of the other reasons I was upset about that post being deleted. Knowing that Mike is following the thread should give people a bit of "hope," so-to-speak, as well as quite a few other things.
I guess the first point is valid, but those from last year(or just those who were smart enough to realize) knew that TPCi people lurked this thread. Actually, I think some people deserve to be holding grudges. And when you say people I know it's a synonym for "zerowing" so let me say he does deserve to hold a grudge and or strong dislike for alakapimp(not as much you since he "wouldn't have made it", but the intent of throwing away a match you had 100% won only hurt him and helped the other top 4 players is pretty frustrating), since if he was dq'd for hacking like the rules say, then zerowing would have gotten 4th. But, zerowing hasn't said anything publically, so why continue to post about these 2 things. As Lynyrd Skynyrd said in Sweet Home Alabama, "Now Watergate does not bother me, Does your conscience bother you?" zerowing hasn't posted so he's gotten over it, bad beats happen so you just move on. The one person who keeps starting this back up again is you, so maybe you should get over it and focus on worlds. Why do you care what others think about you? It's the internet. No one else has posted in this thread about these things either, and just continuing to post your opinion on the matter is not going to end dislike and/or grudges.
The reason it was deleted is because everyone has moved on, I can spend hours upon hours complaining but it won't change anything. We should be celebrating OmegaDonut's victory and preparing for Worlds, not focusing on one bad thing that happened during the tournament, what's done is done, nothing will change it. Sixonesix kept the email private among us three, yet you had to go post it in this thread, why? There was no need to, yet you feel obligated to correct nothing and spark more debate by posting that.
Those outside the US get 6 because they have "theoretically" farther to travel (Anybody from Canada make it in to like Seattle or anything :P) Those within the US actually get 5 days 4 nights, unlike what I had originally thought. At least that's what I read on the TPCi site when filling out my stuffs :D
I hate to drag these out any farther then needed, but I would just like to point out that zerowing should not hold any grudge against Alakapimp. Yes, he used AR to EV his pokemon and yes there was a mistake, but he was not the person that got to make the decision as to whether or not he would be disqualified. If anything, he should be upset with those specific on-spot judges which decided that.
