In reality, he probably likes Clefairy more because he despises Arcanine. Plenty if other choices were pure troll mode though, and the fact that he expected no spite for his actions was quite laughable.

No, I really laughed at that so thanks Ermine.

Here's a thought: maybe if you want others to not spite kill what few faves you had remaining when we actually liked them more, maybe you should do the same. Just a small suggestion. Feel free to ignore it if you'd like.

I mean he was voting ice cream cones and gears over everything. Also his trolling is the reason the weakest non-baby Psychic type is third on that list. He be trollin', trust.


The second match I got to vote Unown was when he was against Haunter. The first was like 50 matches earlier. Between then he was in one more match so that wasn't me who put him in the top 10.

And also... Unown and Haunter are quite close for me anyways. I'm not a fan of the haw haw, I MUCH prefer Gengar.

Normally I do but we had Stifiled and FD in the round back to back. There was no way I'd be getting anything out of them even if I was the nicest guy in the world, so why bother pleasing them =P

Unown knows one move and has a novelty gimmick of little to no use. Awesome poke that is totally awesomer than Haunter.

And Gengar is a fatty.

I overreact a lot and shout at people. None of it is ever serious. It makes it more fun for me rather than just sitting there typing the pokemon's name over and over.

And that's exactly it, I knew you were just voting for what you liked so it didn't matter what I did =P

Not just "it's a gimmick pokémon", it's a useless gimmick pokémon. Try hard enough and you can get some use out of Keckleon or Castboobs. Spinda? Unown? There is none. I like pokémon that look cool and can at least do something in battle. So sue me. >_>

It's more fun to overreact at these. Like I said, otherwise it'd just be 2 hours of voting pokemon and then having a list be pretty boring. Since I know people don't share the same opinions as me, it's fun to complain and shout at people for their choices, etc =P

But it was straight after Arcanine vs Clefairy. Like, it's hard to believe you'd just save Durant for me after I literally killed Arcanine last round, no matter if I was trolling beforehand or not. And like I said, this was still like 20-30 before the top 10. We had Stifiled and FD who don't care about those things. Woulda had to been lucky (I'm not lucky) to have Durant or Murkrow get past them imo

And honestly Gen, why would I expect something out of you anyways if I wasn't trolling. Countless times I've had like 1 guy left ABOUT to reach the top 10 and you just oust him, poof, like that. While you still have like 2-3 guys left. It's happened to Ziggy like twice I'm pretty sure and others if I look back on it.

I think Crobat only had one more match before it popped up in the top ten so it was possible depending on what it faced.

And Wartortle definitely did not have another match after vs. Murkrow. Either that or I wasn't paying attention. So that could've been Murky in the top as well.

And seriously I'm not going to spitekill/troll if someone who actively dislikes Arc antivotes it unless it's for some garbage like Gurdurr or if it's my last favorite left and I have nothing to lose.

The Durant spitekill was purely for other reasons. I'm sorry, if you're picking gears and ice creams just to be obnoxious you really don't deserve to have anything you like place. Hence: you reap what you sow.

Anyway, this conversation is boring me now so I'mma go...

We had Stifiled and FD



You realize that if I *KNOW* a pokemon is one of someone's favorites then I will not eliminate it unless its against a pokemon that I actually like.

I killed Ziggy, sure, but I did it with a pokemon that I actually enjoy (We're talking like top 50-70 or so). I would never kill Zigzagoon with a pokemon who I'm indifferent towards. And except for the occasional spite kill (which I reserve for Dragonair killers only) I always follow that idea. I think I voted for grumpig twice in that run? Both times it was outclassed, but both times the pokemon that was outclassing it was someone I did not care for whatsoever.

It's a pretty simple method really. "Do not eliminate a known favorite of someone (who is also participating of course) unless it's with someone you like"


But the fact is that even though I try to follow that, there is no rule FORCING me to. I could say screw it and vote for my preference each and every single time.


Lets just say that zigzagoon is like #511 for me (and it's probably somewhere around there. Maybe as high up as 450). That means there are 510 pokemon I "like" better. But among those 510 there are probably only 70 of them that I would actually vote for over Zigzagoon, because they are the ones that I'm not merely indifferent towards.



One would think that you might be grateful that I'd be willing to give Ziggy a "pass" against 440 pokemon who would otherwise have killed him.

One would be wrong.

It isn't about "voting to please other people". But when I don't care about EITHER pokemon (lets say it's my #570 vs my #380) then the fact that someone else loves one of them will break the "tie".



And I'm not complaining about a Dragonair elim as much as it bothers me that Ermine complains about each little thing.

It doesn't matter that I give the nod to his pokemon when it's two "do not care about" tier pokemon, he still gets upset.

From: Silver_Ermine | #383

Maybe because I NEVER eliminate one of your known favorites when it's against another low tier pokemon even if I like that low tier pokemon first?

When you complain over each elimination it seems like you think that I'm not being fair to your favorites, which isn't true.

If you aren't going to cater to my favorites that's fine. I don't EXPECT anyone to. But if you're going to complain when I actually can't justify picking your favorites it doesn't make sense that you'd be stingy in return.

Eh, if one of somebody's favorites are in a match that I'm indifferent to, I usually try to do the same as FD. Just because I don't care, doesn't mean nobody else does. If I hate that favorite, I'm still not going to pick it, nor will I pick it over something that I actually like. But, having been on the receiving end of all my favorites being killed right off the bat, it makes it more enjoyable for everyone if you throw someone a bone every once in a while.
