i am curious.
for the tournament next month, how are you picking your team?
not asking what you picked specifically, just the thought process behind it.
is it better to go with your strongest or your favorites?
or do you have a different game plan entirely?
it's a lot harder narrowing it down to just three than i thought it would be.
i know there's still plenty of time and i don't have to decide TODAY but the sooner the better, right?

BUT WHY TAKE TWO YEARS TO FUCKING SPONSOR ONE OF THESE THINGS?
WHY NOT JUST OPEN UP THE ELITE FOUR?

*shrug*
but kanto wasn't even accessible until last year so it hasn't really been two years when you think about it.
you can't really have a biregional tournament with only one region.
but even ignoring the biregional part, how do we know that they didn't do stuff like this before people from other universes started showing up here?
maybe it's like a five year thing.
so even the outsiders who have been here the longest wouldn't have known about it.
the longest i have heard anybody be here is close about three years.
the only way i can see it being a problem is if team rocket decides to try and infiltrate or something.

OR YOU'RE JUST TAKING EVERYTHING AT FACE VALUE HERE.
LET'S IGNORE THE OTHER STUFF AS LONG AS THERE IS A NEW SHINY IN FRONT OF OUR FACES.
COMPLETELY AWESOME, OH YEAH.

[ghostytrainer]

what other stuff?
dude, i really think you're just overthinking this.
like it's good to be wary and all, i guess, but you sound more paranoid than anything.

[papshooshing]

I'M NOT PARANOID!

[ghostytrainer]

no you are definitely like super paranoid right now.
we're talking conspiracy theorist levels of paranoid here.
just take a deep breath, karkat. it'll be okay.

[papshooshing]

THAT'S BECAUSE MOST THINGS *ARE* CONSPIRACIES WHERE OUR LIVES ARE CONCERNED.
DID YOU NOT GET THAT, JOHN?
OH WAIT
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW, BEING SO STUCK BACK IN TIME LIKE YOU ARE.

[ghostytrainer]

you say that like it's my fault. :|
i don't have any control over what point in time i was pulled from!

[papshooshing]

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, BUT IT IS INCONVENIENT.
IF YOU WERE THEN YOU REALLY WOULDN'T QUESTION MY PARANOIA.
