OH, definitely no. I am on IRC a lot though, and so are tons of helpful people like Mingot and Wild Eep. If you have questions you need answered more quickly than the RNG thread (the first place to ask for help) then you should try IRC.
Sure, if I'm on when you come back, we can battle. I won't be available tonight though, so if all else fails tomorrow afternoon works for me. Or even the weekend at worst.
KK well, I cant remember and we didnt record it. And of course I can tell you his team either =(. It would be on youtube, but neother of us were playing on plat. So no dice D:. though I can play you now if you want :D
