Ring of Fire

[Alatar VGC]

Thank you for accepting!

Best of luck to you as the new leader!

 

[WhyBuffet]

It has been brought to my attention that perhaps it was a bit unfair of me to reset everyone's rank and FP, since many guild members (myself included) have worked pretty hard to earn our ranks and FP, only to have it basically nullified.

Therefore, I am revising my previous rule; I would still like everyone to re-apply to the guild (so that I can gauge who is actually motivated and wants to be in the guild), however if you re-apply by October 10th, all your previous FP and your rank will be re-instated (or, if you were a newer member who was at a beginning rank, you will receive the "reimbursement package" of a rank up).

I truly apologize to any long-time guild members whom I may have offended or put under duress. My plan for resetting everything to zero was to try and get some more activity going in the guild, but I realize now that there are other ways of going about doing that other than resetting everything.

However, in a way I am glad that this situation has occurred, because it means that you guys reached out to me and communicated your issues, which in turn allowed me to listen and resolve the issue. I cannot state enough that I want to help guild members with any concerns they have, and this incident was a perfect example of that

About You: I'm the founder of this guild, a huge VGC fan, currently trying to get some CPs from local tournaments to aim for the Nationals. I have little time to be 100% active, hence stepping down from the leadership, but I'll still be around to help and to play with you guys You can also find me on the event trading thread and the Shuffle thread.
Why do you Want to Join a Guild?: I like to have a community to discuss, trade and battle.
What can you Bring to the Guild?: VGC experience to start, which is lackluster so to speak. Some ideas and good mood

And yes, lord Reshiram enforced his rules on me, so I red them

You are missing something from your application, so deni...

...What am I saying? You WROTE the rules, of course you have read them! lmao

Just my sad attempt at a joke, accepted.

EDIT: Member list updated

 

[Alatar VGC]

I would like to know if anyone is going to enter the "Spooky cup" that is coming up soon!

LOL at FireHero's application

To my knowledge, the Spooky Cup is double battles, isn't it?

Which means I will not be participating, as my doubles skills are non-existent.

The only anime I've watched fully is Death Note, my favourite tv show is The Simpsons as I was raised on it and it has taught me like all of my worldly knowledge. I also like Doctor Who and Breaking Bad. Have been part of the same community since I joined the forums.
Why do you Want to Join a Guild? To keep up my interest in Pokemon and bc I have friends here.
What can you Bring to the Guild? Discussion, bad puns, some breeding ability.

[Spacial]

Thanks! I took a look at the OP, the changes look really cool and I can't wait to try some of them good luck with running the Guild!

Is it possible to narrow down the contents of the Fire type egg? It's just bc Fire is my favourite type I've bred quite a lot of Fire types already and it would be a waste of your time to give me a 5IV egg of a Fire type which I already have my own 5IV of. Cyndaquil, Houndour, Slugma, Magby, Torkoal, Ponyta, Tepig, Heatmor and Fennekin are the Fire types I haven't got 5IVs of and I'm perfectly happy with any of them (and take your time - I won't be around much to trade and Pokemon is not a priority to me so take as long as you want), sorry if this comes across as demanding ^^

LOOL The fact that I never had to apply made me forget that part Sorry. I should amend my application ASAP anyway.

I would like to enter but I need to see if I can build a team with that set up. I'm happy Crobat is allowed, it's one of my MVPs and I can say I take it for 99% of my battles.

I'm in the process of making a trick room team! I have kind of an idea on 3 of the members. Stuck on the 4th tho
It's not a gimmicky team, but it's not full of OU's either.
Currently awaiting feedback on it before I start to breed anything.

If you do enter, then feel free to throw any ideas out there. At least if you want to

On the changes to the guild.
I've not been a member of Ring of Fire for as long as some. But these changes are pretty awesome!
Looking forward to trying to get to a higher rank.

Okay, so Shade, you are accepted. Your rank has been re-instated, and your previous FP count has been converted

Also, all three of your war team applications are accepted. PM/VM me whenever you guys are available for a test battle (I'm pretty much always available).
However, Mikazuki, I have noticed that you are more of an avid doubles player, and I feel it would be remiss of me if I didn't point out that war team battles are single battles only at the moment. You are still more than welcome to join the war team, but I'm just letting you know
