Long ago in 2011
Lied a new user from Maryland
He was hardly active at first
Thus he didn't see anything else he could thirst
Still, he didn't know it existed
and had no intention to be assisted
By any person on the forum
As he instead liked the POTW conundrum
This all changed in early 2012
When BW2 were announced for the shelves
Duranteater was still his name
As he was both excited and tame
He exited out of the POTW threads
To seek out new subforums to tread
Despite that, he still never learned
What the Games section had churned
This all changed in July
At sometime past noon when the Sun still rised
When he was sent a friend request
By a user who now he knows best
After many VMs here and there
She introduced Duranteater somewhere
A place that he wanted to know
The Games section, which to him, was unknown
Duranteater gazed at the might
Of how amazing the Games were at first sight
One game had caught his eye
Which was none other than You're Banned V.5
There were many more people he met
That at first thought he was a threat
Duranteater wasn't exactly mature
As what he said was dumb at first
Members such as S.S. A p p e n d, Liltwick, and VS
TeamRocketGrunt and more were not impressed
Still, he met a now-inactive person named Myrrh
Who was willing to put up with his strange words
Another member greeted him with a blossoming twirl
It was none other than Princess Raspberyl
She had a ton of personality
Who saw the joy Duranteater was trying to achieve
In addition to You're Banned V.5
Marriage and counting games were alive
Duranteater liked destroying Spite's bedrock
Who he and Klizcool had run on this game amock.
Other players joined the bedrock smashing
General Nonsense and The Joker.'s attacks were ever dashing
There was even a competition trying to put the bedrock on its cross
And Duranteater won himself an awesome Latias
There were other members he had not known well
Sketchie, nathandg0924, and of course PPL
Duranteater laid his eyes on something he was able to see
Gender Race, CT100, and the grand CT60
Throughout the summer time
Duranteater annoyance was a crime
He did not even know
His words were stupid and low
His friendship with the one whom brought him
Had the spark between them go dim
Their friendship had ended in October
And thus left him in the dust by her
A turning point this was after the loss
As Duranteater then became "your boss"
He tried to think of what he did wrong
That said, this however didn't take long
Someone asked for his Heatran and nothing more
His name was -Nator-, a person he had not known before
His calm words helped boss become settled
on how to be more mature and mellow
In that same month however
He met a person unlike any other
While it's true his username was Thing
He preferred to instead be called Sling
Sling eventually took on a different identity
By the username Canada which is a talking country
Both Sling and boss had many quests together
Until 2015 where he got sick of SPPf and left forever
During that period though there were others boss knew
Liz Azzimagica and Lluc to name a few
Of course there were ones he initially let go by
Including TrottingMincinno and American--Pi
Knowing people like Dramatic Melody could be considered a norm
Especially one talented artist named FrostStorm
The signature rating game was and still is amazing
To get feedback on how well you did on your shading
Finally you have two that are nice no less
ShinyMienshao and PinkPrincess
Both were related like Shinehollow and Phsy-Spark
Playing games as if they were in the park
Around that timeframe came a member hardly one could fix
An evil butthole named pug6666
Fortunately he was stopped
Before any others could have been popped
December was certainly a month
Where a certain member had to end his run
Endoplasmic Reticulum was his name
Who created many alts and took the blame
Then 2013 thus came to the light
As he met a new user named The DragonKnight
Him along with Colt45
Preferred to count rather than ban some alive
Boss still liked that banning game
But he then marked himself in CT60's name
Who met other cool people in which you'll see
WizardTrubbish, BritishLanguage, and ToeyJoey
Around that timeframe came a surprise
Boss's former friend came to apologize
They both made up with each other
And thus became good friends one after another
During XY's prerelease, it was all good
CT60 tried to discuss many things as they could
Gender Race was however still one-sided
With Dracoste joining the other side open-minded
Boss then had another name change
A mix of his first two usernames was insane
It's best not to bring it up
Or he will break many cups
Many phrases developed and stemmed
Such as "Dude it's the system"
These weren't just for show
They're iconic along with Hawaii 5-0
There are more CT60 regulars too
EzzPeon, SilverChiko, and codeyokoo
Let's not forget Xyllerion and MosuGoji
Along with the almighty Swampy
And yes let's not forget Marco the Phoenix
Along with the one and only Arvis
The one reseting our count, thirty-six
Had even beat Yveltal96
Despite the fun, there were some trouble smiting
This even included Lord Fighting
I never learned why it happened
But sometimes it left some saddened
Except when Obvious_Alt came
Where WizardTrubbish was to blame
He announced it out loud
After BritishLanguage was banned from the crowd
The Imposter was another face as well
Along with PokemontrainerY who's still swell
With these people, Summer 2013 was fun
As for the amount of resets, there sure was a ton
Our counting adventures continued in autumn
Where XY were inferior to BW2 and Platinum
A couple more joined the counting games ever so tall
Including Clone™, Nikomajor and Murder Doll
There were ones that went against Sling
They were Carrie Chapin and sunshinemasterking
Of course some had to be careful like Ropav and Deo
While others frolicked like Goggled Petilil
Still, we wanted to see broomstig 2016
But that was unlikely judging by the scene
When school had started again for most
Except those who graduated in which they would boast
Well at least there was still others like Wolfless
Who makes spirits high at her best
SapphireBlueEyes and Toxic Nightshade
Came from the FPBC to also play
After XY were released to the world
Serebii made avatars that allowed us to give them a whirl
BritishLanguage's XY Larvesta avatar
Was indeed the best by far
Finally Dragalge came to be
After a horrible name change as you could see
Some thought it was a seahorse
But it's a leafy seadragon of course
In December came one day
When a user joined by the name Saturnidae
She loved all Bug Pokémon so much
Even Durant was her favorite it in the Unova Bunch
Saturnidae was a part of the Surskit army
Led by dirkac, they and Teapot took out every enemy
Of course these enemies weren't the worst in the end
That title goes to the Dragalge rebellion
Dragalge had started Survivor too
Where the XY Pokemon were competing in groups
It came down to Dragalge vs. Vivillon
In the end, the former was able to win
On Dragalge's birthday, he was blessed with a present
In which he accepted while being hesitant
This was the day of the year
Where he became ~CallOfTheIndie~'s Skiddo dear
That's when they're friendship really took off
And this one is nothing to scoff
Both continued to be amazing friends
That even started the ScarfMentality trend
2014 was another year of excitement
That changed the Games section like the Enlightenment
Everyone was still in great style
Even Littlechic and AwesomeGrovyle
CT60 was however on its last legs
In which all counting games saw the days
Where they would be closed to never be seen
By our now-missed Skiyomi
Everyone took refuge on someone's profile
ToeyJoey, who didn't mind anything senile
They're base of operations continued there
Until they were told they couldn't count anywhere
Still, we did get some new people to know
Like Tsukuyomi56, Symphony, and Kuvario
Along with shipping-loving BubChan
Who still ships us all when she can
BritishLanguage started a new business one day
Giving the rating "7/10 its OK"
Eventually others did it too
But BritishLanguage does it as if it was new
Schade got promoted to a mod
And scared a couple to their escape pod
He was still able to be buddies with Dragalge
In which he still was at the Games as you can see
Some tried to bring the counting games back
But Schade retaliated with his attacks
In a sense, these weren't allowed again
And thus everyone cried like sad men
That said being shipped with everyone was fun
In which Bubchan named the ships with giggles and puns
Dragalge then met someone outside of the Games one day
It's was none other then the Vivillon-lover Tangeh
She liked Pokemon 20 Questions a lot
As much as Dragalge wanting to marry spambots
Despite the loss of CT60
Everything was still evergreen
Well...actually it started to die down
Despite ORAS now being around
And thus we end year 2014
As we move onto another year it seems
In the year of good ol' 2015
Some CT60 regulars began to go unseen
Not having any motivation to post
They all went away to new coasts
This made Dragalge a bit lonely
As his friends left him almost in melancholy
There wasn't honestly much to this year
Except knowing that Monster Guy was here
That all changed in October
When the Face-Offs looked to be in shivers
It started to get more threads
To let it rise out of the dead
shy_taillow seemed like a chill guy
Despite his username, he actually wasn't shy
The Face-Offs were like his home
A more fitting place then any dome
Thanks to some effort put in that place
The Face-Offs thrived again at a fast pace
With new posts coming each hour
It was indeed a sight to devour
We had new and returning Face-Off-ers you see
Including Kalosian, Auraninja, and Kikas123
For many new Face-Offs came to the light
Here are some examples that reached new heights
Create-A-Trainer, Fruits, and Save or Discard
Your Favorite Pokémon oh how it could even please the bards
Along with others like Smash Kirby Hat
And many others unique Face-Offs like that
As 2016 approached the Earth
Sun/Moon were ready to give Talonflame the nerf
As the Games section started to adapt these titles
The Face-Offs would also have threads that were vital
The announcement did shine something bright
More members came here such as Cometstarlight
Thanks to the news games coming
Everyone was playing the games as if they were happily running
To the community in general
Including another installment of Apples to Apples
vanillite1 tried to revive many games beforehand
But eventually left after the closing of You're Banned
No one knew why mr.mime64 closed You're Banned down
Other than that other games needed some attention to turn things around
Alatar VGC and Monster Guy would however
Spam You're Banned memes like water sprinkling from a shower
This was also the year to see
Where Dragalge thought of the second SPPf Movie
Dragalge even has four more planned
One about the Dark Web, a place that's also banned
In that same summer and fall
Brought some more games for all
The = game led by octoboy for example
And the Avatar Speaking game with various samples
Ninjas here and there still lead the pace
Predict the next poster was now lead by Nerdy McNerdface
Along with others like Ascended Dialga and Zephraxe
And the occasional BritishLanguage avatar rates
There was even one game
That would determine the Game Master's fame
Hydrangea had however took Dragalge down
As she never even knew he was around
fongerman came back with his mafias
Along with a couple who liked Lati@s
KungFuMaster said Dragalge changed his avatar everyday
Until Dragalge found a new favorite, Tapu Lele
And thus on December, Dragalge made a Christmas song
With those he really knew for so long
He spreaded his Christmas joy to all
And thus marked that he still stood tall
A cornucopia of members in the Games section
Shaped the area into many directions
From new and veterans ones like Rzk and jginz1
To former players like Blue Snover and SpudNugget1
Now that we're in 2017
What new games and Face-Offs will we see?
Will Dragalge's fifth anniversary in the Games leave a bang?
Or will he end up in a dark alley against against an evil gang?
Nobody knows what the future is obviously
But we all can make the Games and Face-Off's very happy
And thus I end my poem here
Here's to another games and Face-Offs-filled year!
