pkmn YCM GPT Match 5-1

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

 

Match ends 5/6 @ 9 pm HST

So yeah, we'll return to 3-day matches for the remainder of the tournament.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Voting for Feraligatr, because I honestly have no feelings towards the other two whatsoever.

Most likely on Feraligatr because of design (it's an alligator).

 

Although I did spend the effort to actually breed a decent Porygon-Z, but yeah I don't see the hype over it like a lot of others do.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

P-Z is just too great. The others are cool too but gotta give it to WTF Duck. It's just wacky and powerful. Rotom is unique but so is P-Z. So it was mostly between those two but P-Z pulls ahead for giving me a reason to use Hyper Beam. (though Tri-Attack is awesome too)

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I can expect British is going to vote in a couple hours, since this is his avatar fighting it out here.

But anyway, Fera lags by 1 vote at the moment.

[~British Soul~]

Not anymore.

Ofc my vote is obvious here. Gotta vote for my lone nomination Feraligatr, and Rotom is on my kill list.

 

Not gonna lie though, the RNG Goddess almost generated the matchup that had a potential to kill off my kill list

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

For that to occur, you would've needed Suicune instead of Porygon-Z in this fight.

Or you had someone else on that list?

 

Anyway, 2 all.

[~British Soul~]

You were right, I would've wanted Suicune instead of Porygon-Z.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Unfortunately the RNG didn't want to grant you that wish.

Although you still have the chance to take out both of them, if your picks get enough votes to go on.

[~British Soul~]

To be fair though, I didn't mention it in the main thread because I didn't want to jinx the RNG Goddess. Just gotta let this match play out.

[Sethera]

I have good feelings for all three of these Pokes, but probably Rotom the most. So voting Rotom, just cuz of nostalgia and stuff.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Fera and Porygon-Z tied right now.

[~British Soul~]

C'mon Feraligatr, get that one vote to force a tie and advance.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Let's hope it ties, otherwise something is going on your kill list tonight.

 

And for the record, those who survive this round are in contention for a medal.

[~British Soul~]

And if that is the case, I'm treating said pokemon as a user for the rest of the tournament.

(As it stands, it'll be the only thing on my kill list if things stay as-is)

 

EDIT: Teh urn for Feraligatr is pretty much dead now. No way he can get 2 votes to tie.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

There's always a hypothetical match to see how Fera would've done, should he have gotten the necessary votes.

But there is still 8 hours left.

 

Might've been in Fera's best interest to end this on a 2-day schedule as normal; I think things were tied at that point.

 

There is still time, but given how things are lately, I doubt it. (Unless one of Pory's voters decides to take pity and change, but again not likely)

 

----

I should also note that aside from that last Porygon-Z voter, everyone else who voted in this fight is more/less well-known.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

I find it odd that after you say that the aforementioned member changed their vote. If it were anyone but P-Z I'd remove my vote simply to stop so freaking many things from being ties.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

If they wanted to change their vote, then I can't do much about it.

And I certainly did not intend for that statement as an implicit "change your vote".

 

The idea was "If A happened, then B would occur"; basically a hypothetical statement.

 

Honestly speaking, none of these are my nominations, so I really don't have any strong feelings in this match (5-3, I do because there's my remaining one).

 

---

As for the observation, it was worth noting (and as usual, I am checking the votes to make sure we don't have a Blazikengate thing like GPT 2). Remember that voting is public, so you all have access to their information as well + would see it also.

 

Just for the record, there have been a few instances of vote changing during the previous matches; although as to which matches they were, I don't remember (and all in the past).

 

But yeah, just because something like that was mentioned, doesn't mean that you HAVE to change your vote.

 

And again, I don't know why the vote got changed, but it's not my place to question why.

Maybe they had a change of heart with Fera or whatever; whatever reason that might be is theirs alone.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Even with that sudden change, WTF Duck will be moving on Round 5; although certainly not without ire from one of the other fighters in this match.
