August 2017 Forum Free For All - TURN 11: The least productive yet

[Monbrey]

It's been over a year since the last one of these
An event like this is guaranteed to please
There's a new payment structure so get your sends in
Find some teammates and play for the win
Or just go it alone and troll all day long
Metronome or Hold Hands - just no Perish Song
No special rule, this ones just vanilla
But I can promise, the fun will be killer

Winter ran one of these last year with some fantastic writing and enriching story - I can't do any of that so I'll just be writing some half-arsed poetry each round for entertainment.

Rules taken from Ataro's FFA's because they looked pretty comprehensive

S/M Private Format
No Hold Items
Normal Weather
Building Terrain
Hit All – Hit One
Redirections enabled
Evasion / Accuracy Clause (Evasion cannot be raised by any other means as well)
Sleep moves (other than Rest), Ally Switch, Attract, Encore, Perish Song, Rage Powder, and Spotlight fails
Curse fails when used by a Ghost-type Pokémon
Acupressure, Aromatherapy, Aromatic Mist, Heal Bell, and Helping Hand can select one other Pokémon
Flame Burst’s secondary damage will hit surrounding Pokémon around the target
Illusion selects a random Pokémon from the Pokédex
Download, Imposter, Intimidate, and Trace select random participating Pokémon
Exceeding the given send time limits or forfeiting results in player out at the start of the turn
Moves can be purchased between turns until there are only 5 remaining

Sign ups will be open for the next two weeks. Send to me via Forum PM by roughly August 14th.
Each round will be open for sends for about 48 hours but this may vary by an hour or two each way, so please don't wait until the last minute.

This thread is reserved for turns - to discuss the FFA please post in August 2017 Forum FFA Discussion

[Monbrey]

At long last we have reached the battle's first night
And lets all be thankful; not one Greninja in sight
But Togekiss and Decidueye, we've got three
Bloody pain in the ****, all those speed ties for me
A few Legends thrown in there for good measure
And I'm sure piling those will bring great pleasure.
Now is the time to defend, attack, or miss
You have forty eight hours - dont just say "i am in dis"

When this began we had a huge twenty nine
And we'd still have more if they could just send on time
But alas, of our entrants, no response from six
Who knows why, probably playing with their ****s
But that still doesn't explain Winter and Emma
They must have encountered a different dilemma
It's a boring round anyway, the majority Sub
Only one attack, at least they're not a scrub

Another boring turn of subs and stats
And no send at all from two flying rats
They can take their money and get the hell out
I gotta be honest, I'm beginning to doubt
That people even care about these events anymore
There was way more interest in the FFAs of yore
Alas, now we fall to just twenty one
Hopefully they are still having fun

Resuming the schedule with Round number 3
The exact same number who DIDNT SEND TO ME
The round's overdue so there's no real excuse
So go, take your Pokemon and vamoose
Two legends gone, flushed away like turds
As a large group attempt to pile a third
There's a lot of defences and setting up screens
And a Protect, best prediction I've seen

I'm on time today but once again, three aren't.
Spoke all day on Discord but send they can't
Still very few attacks being used by the field
Most just focus on buffing their shield
But it won't matter much, because at this rate
I'll disqualify everyone at a very short date
Which is good because it is getting quite hard
To keep rhyming each day, I'm no talented bard

Im gonna refrain
so I can ascertain
That everybody sent! I'm not going insane,
I don't have to campaign
Its not magic, not arcane,
For once this poem won't have to be profane
The last rounds were mundane
Legit causing me pain
When the most interesting move is Cradily's Ingrain
I think it was plain
As I rhymed with disdain
That you were giving me a lot of cause for complain
But no more drain
From here just gain
I'll celebrate with a little champagne
For in this domain
We wont restrain
We can't even be stopped by a hurricane

When I first said I would write verse
Surely you expected they'd only get worse
It's really hard when I can't even curse
And definitely cant say much perverse
This turn, will any be taking the hearse?
On a direct trip, striaght to the nurse?
At least we'll correct the universe
When speed order is no longer reverse
