Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

“Dirty Decks Done Dirt Cheap” –afstandopleren Wins! Cyrus 2nd Check Out Their Decks

I definitely think there should be more contests, but not necessarily the same type of contest. I can only predict everyone making Nidoqueen/Moonlight in a format with RR in it.
 
Good job everybody. Great contest, and a good time. I'd like to congratulate all the winners. Hope everyone enjoys their prizes.

Yes, I'd love to see another event like this go on, and I'll even enter this time. Thanks WWNN for the event, and letting us up here be involved.
 
Sorry to be getting this up so late- this is for sandslash7

sooooooooooo slooooow...... I was playing T-tar

Round 1> T-tar V.s. Burmys gyarados

G1- had at decent start, spent 3 turns dancing drawing energy- wait where are my larvitar? I get one T4 larvitar, and start seting up. I admit to 1 misplay where i attached 2 dark energy to a aerodactyl but other then that- My opponent only had 1 gyarados w/ 5 energy! I get my first T-tar and swing for 40, but dragon beat is a beast.... nothing i could do- lost sooo much energy
0-1

G2- started with 2 larvitar- had energys everywhere, but again no set up as in no evo's.... i lost again to a dragon beat....

sorry Sandslash... but gyarados is mean.
 
Pandamom's Sceptile/Leafeon deck: Because of circumstances unbeknownst to me I was asked to join this tourney last minute so I agreed

Round 1 vs Turtwig GL/Aero GL/Weavile

Game 1: This one was back and forth all game until I could muster up enough damage to get past the Turtwigs and my opponent kept rolling heads on his sleep checks so I end up losing 0-2

Game 2: I never had a chance, he got Weavile and Turtwig GLs rolling from the get go and I had a horrible start. So my stint in this tourney ended as soon as it began.
 
Tournament pictures are usually, well, dull. These pictures on the other hand are fantastic.

My favorite is Chip with with his hands steepled berfore him with a maniacal look of victory (and perhaps world domination) in his eyes.

...a close second is the close-up of the final game, of the final match, where you can clearly see Chip's 2 card deck.
 
I think that some of this contest's "flair" is that real people are playing each other. Maybe the location could switch, but I think it should still be real-life.

I’m still tired from the last one. When we do start the next one I’ll be ready with a plan and support to run a much bigger contest.


I read the thread on heytrainer, but I still don’t understand why Iron Chef Left the gym. I thought that it was a Pokegym Institution.

I agree that IRL aspect of the contest made it much more interesting. It also made for a lot of work and lengthened the tournament. Next time I think that we will vet the decks before we sit down to play and eliminate about half the decks based on the consensus of a group of judges before we start building decks.

I see no reason that some pods couldn't be on apprentice or reshark.

Ehhh, I guess this is some worthwhile O-T convo:

Iron Chef iisn't a "Pokegym" brand - it's just whoever wants to run it. And wherever it's ran is where it's home to, so if someone took the initiative, then Iron Chef could actually be here on 'Gym.

Lol. Now back to the topic!
 
Received my gag prize today! Really cool envelope. Thanks! Bet it would fetch a fortune on eBay!

Sorry, John, but since you brought it up, you have in fact stolen the Iron Chef from PokeGym.
We weren't making a big deal out of it, but I'm not going to let claim pass.

You have done a dishonorable thing.
We were trying to work with you to make it work for you on this site and instead you just stole it and took it off site.
Not cool. I had thought you were better than that.
 
You think that I've done a dishonorable thing, but I certainly think you've done a disrespectful thing by refusing to work with me after I made a decision about where I'd organize contests. A tournament does not have to be Pokegym-exclusive, and it's interesting how willing you are to hog traffic from an obscure website for the sake of it being Pokegym-exclusive. After receiving sign-ups on said site, I felt like the best way to deal with things would be to make it a co-competition organized by both sites, but you ignored me, and only well after the fact did you actually tell me that it would only be acceptable as an exclusive thing. I extended the olive branch, and got spit at.

I wanted a base of operations for Iron Chef that bypasses the administrative issues of Pokegym (as evidenced by it being half a year late, via Blizzard/staff bureacracy), and bypasses the needless timing things (i.e., "hey guys, let's make this happen on the Gym's anniversary!"). Now, if there's something that's out of context about issues between Blizz and the staff I don't know about, feel free to shoot it to me via PM. But the way I see it is that when I stepped in to fix the contest that you guys derailed, in the way that I thought was best, all I got was a "*gasp* you can't possibly consider giving TWO sites traffic!" response.

But the fact of the matter is that if you really want it to be Pokegym-exclusive, then you can run it yourselves. I'm just as disappointed with you as you appear to be with me - believe me.

Now, to actually be topical: the Iron Chef Tournament of Champions (tentative invite-only event, to be held on a to-be-determined website) will extend an invite to "afstandopleren," DDDDC's winner.
 
Received mine a few days ago. Thanks for an awesome tournament, it was a blast to participate in!
