THE WEATHER IS BAD.
Legend has it that the weather likes to go bad when events take place, and the same has happened here...sorta. The server registry has been down since Thursday and this may continue on into Sunday.
It poses no problem for us, thankfully; you just need to know how to go by IP. Click the Start Battling button* and then the Advanced button at the bottom of the server list. Make sure Specific Server is checked then paste mfnb.zapto.org into the box and click OK.
*If the Start Battling button is grey, you need to make a team. CC uses random Pokemon but you still need to put a team together to prevent the program from dividing by zero.
I'll probably be lingering around today and Monday for kicks.

'nother edit
If anyone has a problem with it being any of the days next week, I could do with being told. This Sunday is suddenly inappropriate for me. Also, I encourage ANYONE to join in on this as it's just Challenge Cup so no expertise is required. With any luck we'll end up with more people willing to participate in the actual tournament. Rabid, GT, Craig, and even THS, I'm looking at you.
You can download NetBattle here; "Mobius Forum Server" is up alot of the time but I sure as hell can't say the same for it's population. You might see me, Miles or Bat lingering around once a week if you're lucky.

That's right, folks, we here at the Mobius Forum will be hosting a Pokemon NetBattle tourney at some time in the (hopefully) near future!
Assuming we get enough people, we'll be hosting both a regular standard rules tourney, a CC tourney for those of you who are unfamiliar with the NB metagame, and perhaps a double-battle or mono-type tourney as well.
So just submit your name if you plan on maybe playing a match or two on NB on an uncertain date in the future =)

As Rabid said, we were thinking about setting it for yesterday but it was inconvenient for me and we thought we might want to wait until the holidays to make it easier for people to make it on the day. I got sidetracked and blalala.
We also have a problem: 14 entrants. It's an even number but gives us 7 pairs of people and that's no good. I know some{or at least, one} are uncertain about whether they're joining so I could do with confirmation and/or more people to make the entrants 18. If we end up with another bad number in the end then I'll drop out and take some kind of E4 role.
Let's set the date for the Challenge Cup tourney as Sunday the 17th to give plenty of time. If we still have a bad number by then then we could have a completely disorganized CC orgy{as an alternative to me deviating} where anyone can jump in. If you have a problem with that date, give some alternatives.
What are the rules?
I'll join (under the name Infa Red) as soon as I know the rules
For the record and for absolute truth's sake, none of us are familiar with the actual NB metagame; we don't play it like that.
Standard rules are something along the lines of no ubers, no duplicate pokemon or duplicate items, no evasion moves or OHKO moves and sleep clause on or something like that. Could be modified in favor of popular opinion, I guess.
I'd say that Miles will be around to join in but I haven't seen him around lately.
I'll play.
I'm in baby.
As always, I'll be participating probably with the same team I've had for the last six months.
No duplicate items? But I just give that status curing item to everyone D=
I personally think no duplicate items is a stupid rule and would cirpple just about everyone's team but I guess it's majority rules, so if we get enough people we'll put it to a vote.
I'm still too lazy to think of anything but Leftovers n__N
I never did redownload netbattle when I formatted my computer, and I really don't think I'll have the patience to reassemble my old team =(
I'm going to think about it. Gotta reinstall the netbattler thingy if anything.
For the people too lazy to make teams we'll be having a CC tourney as mentioned above.
Why?
Because I think it's fun even if nobody else does =)
Ooooooh. I waaannaaa. Like when is it?

no duplicate pokemon or duplicate items,
You're just saying that because you hate my all Pikachu team, aren't you? 🙁
I'm in, but there should be another tournament for teams that consist solely of 1 pokemon. >_>
I GOT MILES TO POST I GOT MILES TO POST I GOT MILES TO POST AND I DIDN'T EVEN TRY.
I PROCLAIM MYSELF A GOD.
ok, duplicate item/pokemon rule is unpopular. terminated.
if we're having a mono-poke tourney i want a theme team tourney
I still hold for duplicate pokemon rule because it can have a large effect unlike duplicate items.
ok, no duplicate pokes then{NB gets screwy with those teams anyway}
But I like my Unown-only team.
I'll watch! Can I watch?
You will not watch. You will Participate.
I will participate. For great justic. =)
I'll join tool I believe i have a chance of winning ^^
I can't Ziggy. I have no idea how to play Pokeymans since they added all the new stuff. I don't even know what item attachments are, or what iron and dark types are good for and such.
I shall watch.
I haven't played Pokemon since Gold/Silver but I'm still gonna play. I know I'm gonna lose in the first round
You could at least try the CC tourney ;__;
*is thinking*...not too sure about my team(s) though, and dunno if I'll have time to really make a new one...I'll see if I can do at least CC, though^^;
*shall continue to think about this*
The chat went on an NB binge last night. Fun was had and I took 2 logs
Thunderdancing Rhydon saves the day from the horrors of Double Team
Bat may have taken a log of when he destroyed my entire team with an AncientPower Donphan.
I definitely want to participate in the CC part of the tournament, no matter how hard I'll be PWN3D.
The others I'll give a try too. =)
*reinstalls NB*
I've got to train for when I get Pearl and Wi-Fi, so I don't get PWN3D too much by l33t japanese players.
Why not? I'll have a go.
Sign me up. Magikarp 4tw
So, because I'm an impatient git, and I want to test my haxey Sandslash against everyone, has a date been decided, or did this idea get a nice start, but then just drift unto oblivion?
As Rabid said, we were thinking about setting it for yesterday but it was inconvenient for me and we thought we might want to wait until the holidays to make it easier for people to make it on the day. I got sidetracked and blalala.

Couldn't we have 16?
Yeah; I meant 16
So wait...I'm glad I checked this. Is this CC only, or is it also allowing Teams? And the 17th is set in stone? Lemme know, so I cna make sure no random days of work appear on that day.
The date is nowhere near carved in stone.
And as for the CC thing, the CC tourney is completely separate from the main game. It probably won't be a CC tourney so much as an uncontrollable orgy of CC, like HSW said.
Eh, I change my mind. I don't want to compete anymore.
Ahh ok. Good then. I miss this, I'm crying on YOUR shoulder Bat.
I'm in yay
Uh. I guess I'll try.
So, um, what's the date of the CC tourney?
I wanted to hold it back further so it's not as inconvenient for me and to make sure Miles shows up but I guess it might as well stay as this Sunday
Okie-doke, I suppose I could try out this "CC" business. No expertise is my kinda thing. See if I have any skill with... being skillfull or something. But watch out.
Cuz...
I'M ABOUT TA GO ON THA
TATTA ATTACK
just wanted to note that I don't think I'll be able to make it to CC, due to finals and other stuff
...(ignoring my still-lingering uncertainty about joining other parts of the NB tournament) if anything is scheduled before whenever the end of my Christmas break will be (don't know the date off the top of my head atm), then I'm out once again, since I won't have NB on the comp that has connection to the internet.
For those of you who are participating, hope you have fun!^^
Edit: back from break, btw, though my indecision remains...*makes note to try out some new teams if she has the time*
