Alright, I'm super psyched now that I can actually attend the whole thing instead of just the earlier parts. Hooray for EU party!

I paid for it with my free time. 1​2 years of it. In Azkaban! T​hat was me. Sorry not sorry. Don't you fucking dare. Seriously, once again I have to thank everyone for all the nice things and thanks being said, about me and about everyone else that's helped too, it really does mean a lot, and I'm definitely very glad to do my bit.

Welp, I'll probably miss Queen's/King's game because timezones, but I should actually be able to show up to this, which is more than I could do for the Winter Party.

That totally wasn't because I was running out of stuff to do nope no siree Honestly those bugs just weren't known to me and I was a little bored so I went ahead and fixed them when I saw the reports.​

Thanks everyone, this really means a lot! I have changed my member title and picture thing appropriately to reflect my newfound status as a badass bug catcher.

Also common candies give you the option of levelling above the cap for evolutions or moves and then bringing it back down again, which you can't do with a hard cap.

In fairness to Ame, Donnel is basically Mozu but just not as good. A​nyway, I wasn't sure about Moonblast at first but after the second or third time watching it I've decided I really like it. Great work mde!

No real experience in UU but I'm down to battle this week

I suppose it's too late to suggest Cream Sand Witch Nation as a name. :/

Alright, I don't wanna come across arrogant or anything but I think the whole point of this topic is talking about what you like and/or are proud of with yourself and getting to be confident WITHOUT seeming arrogant. So I'll join in. Honestly, there's a lot of things. I'm a pretty smart guy, and a quick learner, and I am lucky enough to have the fields I'm particularly talented in (like many areas of maths) also happen to be the things I love and enjoy, so that's pretty great. I consider myself a hard and reliable worker, as well as ambitious, and those are qualities I've always admired in other people, so it'd be silly to not admire them in myself, too. My absolute favourite thing about me though? Honestly, it's that I'm a happy guy, which I definitely can't say has always been the case. But over the years I've learnt to really appreciate things and not get angry anywhere near as often as I used to and... Well, I like where my life is, I like where my life seems to be going, and I'm just generally a happy person. And as long as I don't get complacent, I think that's the best character trait I could ever want. Plus I can grow a goatee that would put any Disney villain to shame, which is my real favourite feature of mine.

I won't have the time to actually make a team till wednesday tbh but I'm still game to play this week if we don't have the numbers for it.

It's funny, I'm a fair ways through my playthrough, and when I got to the split way back when my first thought was pretty much exactly the opposite of you. 'If I was in this situation I wouldn't even FLINCH about choosing Nohr, who in their right mind would choose Hoshido?' I mean... The Nohr siblings are your FAMILY. Sure, there's no blood there, but family is really nothing to do with blood. These are the family you grew up with. Sure, it's really very apparent from the first few chapters that Garon is a massive arsehole. But the Nohr siblings aren't. Nohr as a nation isn't. Just it's ruler (Which admittedly does reflect really badly on Nohr as a nation). I'd take loving family over loving (and somewhat overbearing) strangers any day, even if Garon seems like a pretty bad egg, I found I had no real motivation to stay with Hoshido. The only people there that endeared themselves to me where the Queen and Takumi (The Queen for obvious reasons, Takumi because he had the most 'normal' reaction out of everyone.) I admit, I was intending to play Conquest from the get go anyway, because long-time series fan and stuff, but I actually wanted to make the choice by the time the split came, too (And I got a bundle thing on it so I actually DID have the choice). Honestly, for a kingdom with a nasty king, you probably want as many nice princes & princesses as you can get your hands on, anyway. Many chapters in, I'd say I'm very happy with the siding with Nohr. (apart from the occasional really frustrating chapter).

Happy birthday Dan! You're always nice and helpful, and just all around seem like a great guy. Have an awesome day!
