Kaito

Unfortunately, I got a call asking me to work a wedding Saturday Night, so now I can't do Saturday. Friday and Sunday nights, sure. Just not Saturday. If that's a problem, I can drop out of the league and give up my spot, I don't mind too much.

Reborn name: Kaito Team name: Supports with Beef Favorite Champion: Braum

Hell yeah I'm in again. My work schedule should allow me to make it to a weekend draft, that super team bullshit last time was bogus.

So, I'm not totally sure if this has been noted yet (I normally don't mind reading but 30+ pages of thread is a lot. T.T), but I just found a Skull Fossil in a mining stone. If I'm remembering my fossils right, this is Cranidos? But the guide says N/A when it comes to location wheras for Kabuto and Omanyte, it says "Find Fossil in mining stone." Just wanted to note that if no one else did. As an aside, does that mean all fossils are available in mining stones right now, or have some been left out? Cause I might just go fishing for a Tyrunt fossil. xD

Oh, the rule is we can't change any moves after getting one badge? I thought it was before getting out of bracket 1 completely... my fault for missing the announcement on the last page. Should have held off on challenging Nick then. xD Welp, that's a bugger. ^^; Guess I missed my chance then. No big deal I spose, the show must go on!~

A long awaited update, both for newer people to know the face behind the man, and older people to see me now. Figured I'd post this while bored as fuck in Baltimore. Hate the lighting in this picture though, everything has a yellow tinge. @.@ Look out for Kaito Kid this spring split 2016. Bring all the silver mindgames to LCS. Hoodless: Hooded:

Christmas ends quick here. My haul wasn't significant, but I'm really not in it for presents anymore, and I like what I got. xD C9 Hoodie (Specifically asked for) Earbuds Freddy Goes to the North Pole (Play on name gift) Beef Jerky Wawa Gift Card Red Lobster Gift Card Target Gift Card (From aunt and uncle)

As host of the King's Game, I'd like to apologize to anyone who didn't have the most fun during it or didn't get picked. I tried to keep track of making sure we all got different kings and players, but I know RNG did pick some people twice (counting it up, the most anyone went was twice, including a king's turn) and some not at all and I feel terrible that it turned out that way, I like it more when everyone has fun during my games. >< I know King's Game isn't really my original idea (thank you Persona 4. <3), but people seem to enjoy it when I host. ^^; As for the rest of the party... answering questions in order. Overall Rating: Bloody great job this year guys! The timing could be a bit earlier in the day, maybe around 4 EST or so, but I found it enjoyable! Reborn Royalty: 3rd year in a row nominated, third year in a row losing. xD But nah, I'm super happy with how it turned out. It IS a popularity contest, yeah, but did anyone expect anything different, in all honesty? Santa Lottery: I loved the concept. Didn't participate myself this time around, but I thought the concept was good and executed nicely. if anything I do agree that the tons of blue text walls from the Rebornies and the lottery made it a little hectic, but I enjoyed the idea and giving spirit it promoted. Snowball fight AND Winter Brawl/Various Gaming events: AAAAH I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR MISSING OUT ON BOTH OF THESE THINGS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUN AESFSEDFD DAMN YOU ME/WORK. T.T Queens Game: I LOVE learning about people. Absolutely love it, but am terrible at starting conversations. So I will flat out say I love Queen's Game so much and it went swimmingly. King's Game: See earlier comment at start, I do feel bad about how RNG worked out and some people didn't get chosen. If anyone has any suggestions to try and improve the way King's Game is run, I'd like to hear them in order to improve it~ Not that I'm making a monopoly on hosting it or anything. << >> >< Rebornies: Bad choice to have it at the same time as Queen's Game, a lot of people weren't really paying too much attention.. Reschedule it next year, but I love the idea of awards for newer members. Caroling/DJ'ing: Did not attend, I am sorry. >< Aces in the Hole: Fun, but chaotic. A little too chaotic, but such is Reborn at times. It did get a lot of people involved though, so <3 for that. Schedule timing: I feel bad for our EU friends who had to go to sleep, but it IS a problem to find a time for ALL time zones to be happy with. >< I won't comment on this in paticular, I think it went well.

Joke's on you, I just came back from dinner. 24 oz Porterhouse polished off easy! ... And still kinda hungry, honestly. ^^;

Tacos, my dear buddy. I am absolutely dying to know, what are your thoughts on the state of Delaware? Because nobody knows what that state is.

Is it too late to sign up? This old washed up hack wants to see how bad he's gotten. xD If not, could I get a bug themed trainer card with my current sprite in my signature? I'll forward the payment later today. ( Also, no Team JNPR? For shame. xD)

We all agreed never to touch that name again. xD But I'm not really into the whole "what do I think of you" think right now just cause of me being away for so long makes it hard to say for a lot of the newer base. You're pretty cool though, not gonna lie. And oh man... I freaking LOVED hosting Survivor Reborn. I would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat (I actually have a good amount of pages for Season 2 and it's setup on my laptop already), I just don't have the time to be hosting it right now. There's tons of things I would change though, since even though season 1 was pretty successful, it also left a lot to be desired activity-wise. I'd probably work on finding a way around the mass PM'ing that went on in late game that caused actual forum activity to plummet, alongside more frequent activity checks in general. For a first run through though? I think it went decently, and it showcased a lot of flaws in the first game that can be fixed for the next.

I may or may not be eating a heaping helping of steak right now actually.Shit's great. Favorite cut: I'm actually not overly picky on the cuts, but my family eats a LOT of round cuts due to the cheapness of it around here. Personally, I love cuts that come from the Short Loin, so Tenderloin, T-Bone, Porterhouse, ect. Favorite Wing flavor: Spicy Garlic flavor, absolutely no contest there. The perfect combo of heat and zest. Seems like the absolute sheer amount of these is causing this one to be lost into the sea of them, so while I'll still be glad to answer any questions here, I'm also glad to get to know people through PM's or the server, should they like. I'm Shuuichi on there.

Personally, I find them to be a bit of an annoying trend, however when you've been gone and need a quick way back into the community to re-introduce yourself, I really can't knock the format too much. Also! I remember you from Nsider/Nsider 2 and AtlF, if I'm remembering correctly. Not that I keep in contact with um... any of them anymore, but it's still nice to see a friendly face from the old,old,old,old days. I doubt you'd remember me, but does the name Shadow ring a bell? Among multiple other names.... That is if I'm even right, there's a high chance you're completely unrelated and it's just a case of "name's the same."

Practice. Constant practice and learning. I've been doing this since late 3rd gen, back when Netbattle was a thing. Then in 4th gen with Shoddy Battle. Then I reached my peak in 5th gen where for a time, I was considered one of the top/better battlers on the server in my time there (If I may be so bold to make that claim/assumption anyway). I just played a lot. Took pokemon that I liked and enjoyed and learned to make a team around them while battling constantly got me learning the strategies of each generation and how they played - and how to counter or play around them. When weather was at it's peak in gen 5, my main team unwittingly functioned as anti-sand and could hold up very well against sun and rain. Course, when gen 6 came along I got super lazy and didn't bother to learn that metagame, so I fell off HARD. I doubt I'd be nearly as good as i was in gen 5 since I haven't really battled uh.. .at all, so I don't know what major changes ORAS or XY brought to the table and as such probably wouldn't be able to play around or against it as well as I could do so in the past. At this point, I'm relying on past knowledge and experience (learning how to predict, switch, ect, ect, stuff that came with battling a lot) until I battle enough to get up to speed on the current meta.

*bows* Thank you, thank you. I wasn't sure whether to be a little more showboaty about it ( I am a massive Magic Kaito fan and tend to try and incorporate his hamminess when appropriate ), but I decided to be a bit more formal. xD And favorite type is Bug, no contest. Scyther, Volcarona (who many considered to be a signature of mine considering I used to ( and still do ), try to stick it on almost every team I make.), Galvantula, Heracross, Ninjask... so many cool looking bug types it's hard not to be a fan of them! Ironic considering I dislike bugs in real life. Just ask Sheep or anyone else part of Mythic Nation how hard I tried to fight for Bug in that contest. xD Favorite pokemon however, is NOT a bug. That belongs to Mewtwo, who's been my absolute favorite ever since I got into pokemon at age 4. Hasn't changed for even a day. Edit: @ Shia, since the quote button fucked upw hen I tried to edit: ---- Thank you! I try to be polite, since everyone needs a little niceness in life. I can be an asshole though. xD A huge one. As for one wish... I'd need to think more to be able to give a definitive answer, but off the top of my head, I'd wish for the ability to control my own brain. I read a really interesting theory somewhere that if we could have 100% control of our own brain, it would make life SO much easier in absolutely tons of aspects. I'd have to find that theory again, it was interesting...

Haha! Rarest auth, huh? Well, not really much of an auth anymore, but there was definitely some truth to that! And thank you! I try to be nice, but I have my hot buttons like everyone else does. ^^; As for your questions: It doesn't feel any different honestly. I mean sure, things have changed and we've grown A LOT here, especially since shofu started with Reborn. I guess all that really comes with being an older member is having more time to get to know people than others. I try not to think about the past too much, that's something that took me longer to learn than I'd like to admit. xD So all that really comes to mind about being an older member is how nice it's been to be here to watch Reborn grow and become what it is today. Some parts are better, some are worse, but overall, it's still Reborn at it's core. Like I said, not really much to think about the past. Plus, being gone for over half a year kind of does a number on actually getting to know the current community. xD But I see a lot of old friends here, so there's always that feeling that the community is still there, just with more people. Overall, it hasn't changed too drastically for me over the years, it's just a lot of new faces and new personalities that I haven't gotten to know at all. Can't judge the change till I've been back longer. Most memorable experience, hmm... probably almost beating the Reborn League in Season 2, before I started helping out with it near the end as a line host. I only had to beat Amaria and I would be in the Hall of Fame, unfortunately it was Gen 5 and I hadn't really factored rain in too much into my team, so I never actually finished the challenge. If I had, I'd of been one of the first people to actually beat it. But the entire reborn league was super memorable for me. Today, I'm okay. Wednesday and Yesterday, I was not. It fluctuates, but today I'm doing well, just sleepy and dreading work tommorow. Not that I hate my job, I just hate getting up so piss early. Lots of league today, went 50/50 and ended with an absolutely stellar Lux game dumping on a Yasuo in lane, so I ended my day well. I love Cake. Particularly anything with raspberry. Trick question, I'm not cool at all. We just happen to have things in common like loving Bug types more than average players, among other things that I honestly cannot remember right now, sorry. xD But thanks for the thought! People tend to gravitate towards me or think I'm better than I think I am, funny how that works... I... actually don't know. It's a bit of a flanderization here, but not by too much. xD I've just loved it since I was a kid, i guess. Soon. I just need to drive up to Newark. I'm going pretty soon anyway to play in a Smash tournament with some old friends anyway, so I'll message you before I head up!

POOOCCCKKKKY! It was a combination of my job in the summer having extremely grueling hours, and a myriad of physical health problems regarding my family. I don't want to go into overt detail because it's very personal to me, but I can leave it at my parents being in declining health and needing to help them with day to day things, without going into any specific details. Excited and pumped up? Well, I'd be lying if I didn't say that a good heart pounding track of music didn't get me excited... although I am a massive geek and will say that 90% of that is from video games and anime. Other than that, I love the feeling of competition. It's absolutely heart pounding having a close, well fought match with someone whether it be in a video game or tennis, or anything else. On the flip side of that, being completely crushed in a competiton drains my spirit and crushing someone else just bores me.

Pffft! Okay, ta be honest I was a bit ticked at you for a time, but fuck all if I wasn't being a petty bitch for it. Over and done with by now, amigo. Seriously, I dun hate you or anyone here, I just had a ton of family and life stuff happen to me this year, but I've been surviving it and I think I'm available and ready enough to come back here.

I was asked to make one, and quite honestly I could use the distraction from offline stuff. So where to begin.... Well, I'm Kaito, and I joined this place in late 2011/early 2012 ( It was the cusp of December turning into January) after PBC went down and I had to find a new server. I was dragged to this one by a friend of mine and well... been here ever since. Older members will know me decently well, but I may be unfamiliar to newer faces. After around April of this year, I started appearing less and less due to personal offline circumstances. However, I believe it is time for me to make a resurgence. An ACTUAL one, not me saying I will then only appearing for a week before disappearing again. So I figure I'd kill two birds with one stone and use this to help newer members get to know me. I was an auth here, but due to aformentioned offline stuff, I decided to step down. Some of my more notable projects would be Survivor Reborn Season 1 ( I would LOVE to begin a season 2, I just need the time first. I've got so many documents on it already...) and uh... well, that's about it. So, have at it, and please ask me whatever comes to mind, I will answer all questions to the best of my ability. I have an early work shift in the morning, so if I don't see your question(s) tonight, I'll answer them as soon as I possibly can tommorow.

Honestly? At this point I don't care who they add since the roster is already pretty great. I'm holding out for the tiny tiny chance that Ray MK1/2/3 won though. Probably not but oh well. Dreams!

I am collecting them now, the smash bros ones anyway. I have 30. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Dr.Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, Bowser Jr, Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Olimar, Palutena, Dark Pit, Pikachu, Charizard, Greninja, Lucario, Mewtwo, Little Mac, Shulk, G&W, Duck Hunt, ROB, Shulk, Diddy Kong, Captain Falcon, Fox, and Ike are the ones I have now. The sad part is, the three I REALLY REALLY want ( Since I already have Mewtwo and Grenina ) are the 3 I just can't find. << Robin, Lucina, and Marth. I swear I don't have a problem. Just a lot of disposable income.
