Thank you for agreeing to participate in the 2nd Pokémon World Tournament!

This is your confessional, where you may express all your opinions about the experience and answer questions from the hosting staff. You should be able to see specific threads for Voting & Messages to Alumni & Lurkers. Unless a live duel is organised then all duels will also take place in here.

Speaking of questions, here are some to get the process started :)

What are your thoughts about the format of the tournament and how do you intend to approach it? Do you have faith in your abilities should you end up competing in the Stadium? What are your thoughts on the upcoming inclusion of secret groups?

Tell us your first impressions of your fellow Hoenn trainers. Anyone stand out in a positive or negative way?

Thank you for inviting me to play! :D Got to ask though, is there any app for this forum? Because it's seriously slow and annoying on mobile version and I do most of my ORG stuff on phone. I'm only on the computer today because my manager isn't working (yay!).

To your questions- I've never played in arena format before so I don't really know the best way to approach it! I'm okay at challenges but I'm sure everyone else has way more experience than I do so I doubt I can beat many people. It's not like I want to rely on the arena to save me. Plus I basically know nothing about Pokemon so anything related to that will have me at a complete loss. How about I just don't get voted out ever? ^_^

My secret group is annoying because it has Wattson :( He's not going to be sticking around on Hoenn for that long, and I'm probably not going to do anything to save him, because those idols will just be a target for the group that gets them. Everyone else will be against them. Probably.

So far I love Flannery :<3, also Wallace and May! Norman and I get along well too but the others don't like him. I need to keep the peace so if he has to go then so be it. Brendan talks a lot about Pokemon and that makes me uncomfortable because I don't know how to reply. Brawly I stopped messaging almost instantly because I could feel he wasn't going to give me much to work with.

Liza approached Wattson to have a thing with secret partners teaming up (she probably knows he's on the bottom too and wanted a bottom feeder's alliance with their partners to save them). I just said yeah because who says no when they're offered an alliance? She gave me a poem to figure out who her secret partner is, I guess it's something to do with Pokemon stuff and I have no idea who Amelia's freaking cousin is!! I couldn't find it on Google either :( So I can't respond to her because I'll have look like a dumbass and be like, 'Dude, seriously, just tell me the name of your freaking partner.' I know it's either May or Winona because she said it's a girl, and I trust that Flannery told me the truth. But whether it's May or Winona makes a HUGE difference as to whether I actually want this secret group thing to work out.

Great update Roxanne :<3

Invisionfree doesn't have a mobile app like Proboards to my knowledge unfortunately.

What can we expect to see tonight at Tribal Council? Has it been decided or is it all unclear?

If it does according to plan it'll be pretty straight forward. Brawly has been the name with which people have been happiest, and I have put basically zero effort into getting to know him so it's ideal for me too. A few other names getting tossed around were Liza, Wattson and Norman, but I think it's been settled on Brawly. I don't know how Winona never came up? The others must have more to do with her than me. I guess that's a sign I should start talking to her. They're all kind of fading into one at this point...my conversations have been so same-y that I can't really remember the minutiae of my discussions with each individual. Apart from the 3 I like best, of course. I'm pretty sure I've talked to Winona at least once...right? Probably just your basic 'how do you dos' and not much beyond that. Boring. Or Pokemon stuff. Which would have me go :blink: Sounds about right.

I'm sorry I don't love Pokemon you guys, you must hate me. :(

:D Thank you!!

So apparently I don't really know what's happening with the vote tonight. Could be Brawly, like I hope, or it could be Wattson, or Liza, or me. I don't really understand why I would go but I'm not cocky enough to assume it's not an option. If I do leave then I really don't know what has been going on at all. Even if I stay there's stuff I'm not sure about, actually. Oh well, I'll know soon!

Many people have been online and failed to send me messages. I don't like that. Brendan, Liza, May. Maybe Norman was right and we should be doing something about them? Flannery already said she wants Brendan gone, though she also wants Norman gone. It would be good if I could get those two working together. Wattson will probably do what I say as he isn't around much. Dawn will hopefully be on Norman's side since they're partners. That's five there. Just need one more. I hate not knowing what's going on. I don't know what those other people have been doing if they're online and not talking to me.

Hey Roxanne! Has everything become more certain as the day has gone on or is it perhaps even more ambiguous? Is there a clear target yet?

It seems like it's pretty certain that Brendan is gone. It was Flannery's idea, and she went for it. I was happy with it, because he's not someone I was that close with, and it seems like he's a big player.

I think I've put myself in a good position. Flannery and I are quite close. May seems to trust me too. Wallace asked me to be his 'hag' (though I question how many of us he has asked the same thing). Dawn, Norman and I kind of have a trio going. I've spoken to Liza about having a secret partners group thing, she doesn't know I know she's done that with everyone so hopefully she thinks I'm on her side. Really I want her or Winona gone next.

Apparently there's a group of 5 planned by Wattson- the core being Wattson/Wallace/Norman with me and Dawn as 4 and 5. They haven't approached me yet though. But I'm happy to let them think I'm okay with it and don't know my true position. Norman tells me practically everything so I trust him. I think he'd be more loyal to me than anyone else. It happened by accident, I was just stringing him along really, but now I think he could be a very good ally.

The not so good thing is that May and Flannery both want Norman gone. I'll hopefully be able to flip it around so he doesn't have the target on him. I may need to throw Wattson under the bus. I have to be careful with the next few votes, it's going to determine whether Wallace/May get inmunity or Liza/Winona. I really don't want it to be Liza/Winona. Not particularly happy about Wallace/May either, but I also don't want them myself because it's just asking for a blindside.

Hmm, I think Wattson is in Wallace's pocket. I hope the vote gets switched to Winona tonight. I felt bad as soon as Brendan said people were spreading lies about him. Was he telling the truth? I don't know. Then when I PM'd him he said Liza was trying to get one of his partners voted out on the other side. I'll see tonight if he was telling the truth. We can vote him off tomorrow if he really is a liar. For now I want to weaken Liza. Luckily Wallace came up with voting off Winona in public. I wanted the vote to change but didn't want to create enemies so I was going to leave it, but I think Wallace took the heat and allowed me to do what I wanted under cover of decency rather than strategy.

I believe there is a way to send messages to multiple trainers at once, but it nothing like the system Proboards has and you would have to manually apply it each time IIRC?

Blegh, too much effort :P

So it seems like Dawn may be going tonight, unless Volkner comes over. If everyone is whispering her name I can't really stop it. Apparently she's not really been talking to them, it wasn't wise of her to rely on me and Norman so much. I'll do what I can, but I'm only willing to put myself out there so much for her, any more than that and I'm sorry, she has to go. I'm not risking my precarious position to keep her in.

Brendan should seriously be so grateful to me that he is still in this game. I don't know if I'm being delusional, but I think if I hadn't changed my mind on wanting him to leave, he wouldn't be here. I would have made sure Flan, Norman, and Dawn voted for him, Liza didn't really want to vote Winona in the first place, and May had already done a prevote. That's enough there. I feel like I can pretty much do whatever I want to in this tribe. Which is why I feel like my position is so risky, because if I try to do too much and people talk, they'll realise I am actually a big player in this game. But as I said, it could be me being delusional ^_^ Maybe I'm just a pawn.

Oh, and how do I know if I've replied to a message? I used to to switch them to a different folder but when I reply on phone it's such a hassle, I just want to be able to know if I've replied by looking! I'm sure it's super obvious and I'm just being an idiot :)
