Unfortunate as it may be, my original plan of bringing my phone into the bathroom at work may not be feasible, as in the event our RBY Fissure Dugtrio Bo3 goes my way, I'd then have to make a winpost in this thread in order to claim victory, any internet issues I encounter while using my phone notwithstanding, and the dubious nature of the timeframe we are working with.

In this event, I am asking my esteemed opponent and Smogon Forums Super Moderator phoopes to accept the following proposal:

After giving it intense thought, it occurred to me that our form of combat has a surefire solution to maximizing odds of winning. On any given turn, you click Fissure. If my Pokemon goes down, send in the next one, and use Fissure. Should I run out of PP, struggle to death to waste the opponent's Fissure PP until I can get a free switch into my next Fissure user.

This series of plays is flawless and I have zero reason to deviate from this strategy. I would like to make these plays in advance for my opponent and ask they either they perform these actions in my steed using an alternate account, or that a gracious opponent would challenge the honorable phoopes as my ambassador, so that I can still participate in this tournament while also continuing to be in good standing with my employers.

Round 1 has showcased some thrilling competition! We have seen rock paper scissors, Mario cart, hyper-competitive connect four (you wanna talk about that first game Check1Two?), duels between assassins, and bribes by way of Smogon reacts. Alarmingly, a large portion of the competition seems to have indoctrinated by competitive Pokemon. A whole five matches were decided by some form of Pokemon battling. We pray that one day these users can remove their brainwashing.

It seems global nature of this competition has somewhat backfired. Three matchups were influenced by Johning. These Johns have been eliminated with extreme prejudice. The following players have been granted a win: Kalalokki, Neko, Turtlek.

In the wises words of phoopes, "coinflips in a knife fight seem like they're not in the spirit of the competition". Very true. As such the users involved in a to be coinflipped matchup have been instead entered into a simulated battle royale.
