We all know how according to Smogon norms how typically you are not supposed to type long posts in round one and yadda yadda, but frankly, I do not care. I just want to share a few thoughts. You can say whatever you want about it for all I care, it really does not matter to me. Anyway, here goes nothing:
Mons as a whole has been a royal pain in the ass for a good two or three months now, where everything went south for no particular reason whatsoever. In the beginning I would try my very best, putting a lot of effort into building and playing, only to end up losing to something out of my control, which obviously made the game anything but fun for me to play. This also made me lose a lot of motivation to even try at all, which eventually led to me signing up for stuff, not trying at all, then losing and in the end it just was not a fun experience. The latter part is all on me, though.
The series that I just played, however, was something that I very much enjoyed.
First of all, massive shoutouts to the very nice user
Pantalone for being so cool about this whole process of scheduling and whatnot. While I was away on vacation with my family I had to be social (and wanted to be, for that matter). I never knew what we were doing up until right before we were going places, which led to scheduling being a very hard process. You were really mature about it all and I want you to know that truly do appreciate that, as I was super stressed about being so hard to schedule with. I had a lot of fun, and you seem like a really nice guy. I hope you had a decent experience as well, even if you got the shorter end of the stick this time around.
Truthfully, thank you.
