OneHitKO.com Challenge: Announcement
Ed Prologue: This is not a charity. This is a community-building experiment. I have plenty of cards, and I’m not poor. I’m not begging for handouts. I’m hoping that we can team up and work together to build something new and exciting.
Intro: I woke up one Saturday morning a few weeks back, and instead of getting out of bed right away, I had an unusual chance to hang out and be lazy for a bit. While I was slowly waking up, I had an idea. I’ve been thinking about it ever since, and I think it’s finally time to start implementing it. I’m excited to try it. Once you get what’s going on, I hope you will be too, because it heavily involves you.
Before we get into the idea itself, I want to give a bit of background. I feel that this is important to add credibility to my part in all of this, so here’s a quick overview of my Pokemon experience.
Background: When the game first came out, I got into it quite a bit. I mainly just played at one shop named Mirkwood, but I attended many of the weekly tournaments there. I also helped run their Pokemon league, and I was appointed as the gym trainer for a while. Well, that lasted until just after Fossil came out. I won some tourneys back then, but I kinda feel like they don’t count.
I re-entered the game around this time 2 years ago. I started with the City Championships, attended 4 in the area, and didn’t do particularly well. Leading up to States, I decided to build a real top-tier deck. At that tourney, my first States, I dropped after Swiss. I didn’t really think much of dropping, as Pokemon wasn’t a huge thing to me at the time. In retrospect, it seems a bit crazy. Had I stayed, I was 5th going into top cut. Read More
