I know I didn’t sign up for expo this year but can I still come and meet you guys there?

Yes

If you are attending Expo Icrontic, 2019, our chat this year will be hosted on our Discord server. If you've never used Discord, it's a thorough, simple, fast, and full featured chat app. There are clients for phones and computers, or you can access it on the web.

Here is the link to our Discord server

Once you are set up, please send me a message ( to be added to the Expo chatroom. This chatroom will ONLY BE FOR ATTENDEES to prevent shitposting and cross-chatter.

The room is called #expo-2019, and again, if you cannot access it and are supposed to be able to, I can fix it.

While passed out on that fateful night, Most Wanted had an intense experience. Many people think Most lost his marbles that night. They write the experience off as a drunken/hung over hallucination. It must just be a crazy made up story. A dream. Which lead to trainers who do believe, simply referring to the experience as Most Wanted's Fever Dream.

Most Wanted, of course, documented his experience. He describes battling a legendary beast with other local trainers. After the beast fainted, a magical Pokemon appeared. Most described the beast in his notes;

The four legged beast presented itself to me
Not quite canine
Not quite feline
Golden mane flowing like the sandstorms in the east
Dark orange fur that sparkled in the sun reminiscent of the shiny Raichu I met in the Kanto region
Fierce and rigid gray whiskers and tail
Accepted me as his master with a single ball

Many trainers, when they hear the description, think of the Legendary Pokemon, Raikou. Yet many of the details do not match such as Raikou's electric yellow skin not being the orange color detailed by Most.

Do you believe the beast is real?

I believe. So this year we will go out and hunt for Most Wanted's Fever Dream. Saturday June 29th at Expo 2019, 4:30pm, I will lead a team of dedicated trainers to hunt for the beast known as Most Wanted's Fever Dream.

I think @MAGIC is allergic to fish ice cream.

lies. My current diet is roughly 90% fish ice cream so please take that into consideration.

Holy sugarcane, Batman, this is just 3 days away! The lineup of beer is ready, are you?

We're gonna be getting down on the following (all of them aged in rum barrels!):
A golden sour with 2 kinds of fruit
An imperial sour with 3 kinds of fruit (only 32 cases made, holy smokes!)
An imperial oatmeal stout
A spiced melomel
A very strong quadrupel
An imperial porter with coconut
An IPA
A barleywine
A really strong ale

That's right, we've got 9 (hopefully) amazing beers on deck for this one.

Also, we'll have some fun food to pair up, drawing inspiration from a variety of cuisines that inspired Tiki fare to begin with. If anyone is vegetarian/vegan or has any food allergies, please let me know.

We're planning to meet at Cafe Sushi on Wednesday at about 5:30 for our kickoff dinner.

If you're meeting at the house and driving with us, please arrive by 4:45pm. It's rush hour traffic so plan accordingly.

What: EPIC 2019 Pokemon Go PvP Tournament

Where: ICHQ, EPIC 2019, Meeting place to be determined.

When: Friday June 28th, 2pm

You must have your own Pokemon Go account and a device to play on. Due to time constraints, sharing devices or accounts will not be allowed.

Rules: We will be following a slightly edited version of the Silph League Arena Rules

1. Party Selection: You may only use the 6 individual Pokemon registered when entering the tournament. TMs are forbidden during Tournament play. No swapping alternate Pokemon within a species.
2. Great League: All battles must be fought in Great League.
3. Best 2 Out Of 3: Opponents will battle 'best 2 out of 3' to determine a winner. Opponents may not collude to report outcomes not achieved in battle.
4. Optional Coin Toss: If requested, an optional 'Invite Priority Coin Toss' determines who invites/receives the battle invite & who clicks USE THIS PARTY first. In subsequent games battle losers have the choice, but battles must be started anew - NOT via the in-game Rematch function. Re-matches for technical issues repeat the interrupted battle's priority.
5. Ties: If a battle ends in a draw (ie, both journal entries show a loss) a re-match will be held for that battle until a battle is won.
6. Disputes: If opponents do not agree on a match outcome, journal entries will be reviewed by a staff member. If a dispute is still deemed unresolved by staff, see rule 10.
7. Technical Issues: Each significant technical issue must be verified by your opponent and, when confirmed, will trigger a re-match of the current battle. The same battle team & order must be selected for the re-match. If technical issues prevent successful battle for 10 minutes, contact tournament staff for assistance.
8. Professionalism: Don't be a dick. Competitors are expected to maintain courtesy towards opponents. Harassment, aggression, intimidation, and other inappropriate behaviors should be reported to staff and will result in punitive action.
9. Free to Play: Must be Epic 2019 Attendee. Free to enter.
10. Staff Decisions: All staff decisions are final. If your opponent is a staff member, an additional staff member must adjudicate any disputes. If you feel a staff decision warrants appeal, deal with it.

Please post any questions here. I'll add more info to this post as needed. See y'all next week!
