PKMN.net Gym Challenge (Read before challenging gyms, please)

[aMartini607]

Maybe its cuz I was late to the party but I feel rather left out of this, Richard's the only person that's challenged my Gym(and I lost more terribly then my first battle back in '98 =O)

^I'd battle your gym, but It's Wi-fi on X and Y. I can't do that, sorry.

I'm sure you'll get some soon - but I don't think there's many competitive battlers on site so there aren't actually many people challenging =/

adding onto what dick said, everyone has a life, and the challengers lives dont revolve around this. and theres only like 5 or 6 challengers total so like

also, im planning to try challenging everyone soon :^)

[SirBlaziken]

I have my badge as well as Spriter's!

Alright well, I need to get practice building teams and battling, so why not start here?

I plan to start challenging the gyms! Wish me luck friends, I'll be coming for you all soon enough~

After  a conversation with Richard over AIM, we decided it may be a good idea to reboot this under revised rules that build off the shortcomings of the original attempt. The details of the revamp will be put up next Sunday, provided that by then at least 10 people have expressed interest in this happening again (can be current gym leaders - just need to know who's still interested).

I realise this might not be worth starting - hence the 10 people limit - but in the aforementioned discussion we thought that making accessibility to showdown mandatory would make this a lot more survivable, so that will definitely be in the new rules.

Past gym leaders w/ Interest

Richard
Spriter
Bread
ShinyBlaziken
Awkward Squirtle
Hahex

If that means I have zero costs for my normal-type gym, I would like to sign now (I can not wait!).

[Spriter]

I'm in then, because by then I'll have very few / no exams left to worry about and 3 months off school

*sidles in and expresses interest*

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Alright, put y'all down as having interest.

Now, from a discussion Richard and I were having:
-> Should there be an 'entry test' to determine who gets a leader position?
    -> Who should perform this?
    -> How should it be performed?
-> Should candidates have priority if they're 'competitive'?
    -> How do we judge who's competitive?
-> If there was something such as a 6V Arceus as a prize for completing all 8 gyms would people be more likely to participate?

[Richard and Blaziken]

You know I'm still interested in doing this. It's a lot of fun and it sparks some creative ideas and teams. With the Summer coming, I think rebooting this is a good idea, and I'd happily take up my old position again.

[the bread dragon]

[kindtocrows]
