Hm, this SWSH isn't very exciting. I chose Dedenne as it's the only one I don't have a shiny of.

Judging from how many people chose Munchlax, it appears that not even a novelty could boost interest in it. I guess everyone's pretty much got a shiny of Munchlax so who knows when its time comes! hehe.

Good luck everyone.

Okay guys I hate to say it but we really need to kick it into high gear. We need to start recruiting or something (are we even allowed to do that?), and the chat's absolutely dead, we need to get more people involved.

I don't know, but will recruitment help? Because I see a lot of Azurites who aren't in this group, doing pretty well in the swishy. What we actually need to recruit are people when they register but that duty is off to RNG.

Regarding the chat, I peeked in to it, a couple of times, when I am active and there only Porygon2 is present. Yup, the chat needs to be pumped up a bit. Maybe, we could re-arrange the weekend meets? That should help.

I usually don't go into the azurite chat but I'm pretty much always in IRC, so I mean if you want me to join just send a PM.
I guess recruiting would work. We could have certain people PM azurites but I think Shaoo tried that and didn't get responses. I dunno. :/

[Cycloneblaze]

I just got my first shiny of the hunt

And probably only, at least until I hatch a shiny Drifloon as well.

In my mind the biggest thing that matters is participants. Wulfenite have way more that Azurite. How do we beat that?
Since we have a similar number of participants to Malachite we should be able to beat them. But there we're disadvantaged in our group - the mages are a lot more active than we are in this topic. I guess that speaks to a lack of very motivated users who hatch lots of eggs (and Wulfenite has plenty of those, too).
The thing is, the vast majority of the entrants into the hunt have never posted, never read the forums and probably don't even know about the affinitys' competition. Short of bombing them with PMs I don't know how we control that.
As to the chat... well #gtsplus is practically just #wulfchat anyway.

I dunno, guys, this getting dunked on for my affinity across the chat and forums is really making GPX less enjoyable. I like the SWSH and I don't want to have to avoid the site for two weeks every second month

Yeah chat meetings are during the week end for users who don't have time to come during the week =). Hope to see you there!
And yeah I tried to PM some active azurites to come and I usually didn't get answers, so I try only once per user to not get an impression of harassement... It's a fact that azurite are less active and a lot of them don't even have a forum account so I can't PM them. That's why I usually ask you all to contact azurites if you are friend with some of them who are not already in the group, to enlarge the family!
Don't loose hope, one day we wiil win. We were leading on the first place!! =D

[Dr Electric]

My first contribution for this war:



I'd have to find a name for this girl but I can't decide whether to make her a Togekiss or keep her as she is. Decision, decisions...

Even though it's RNG, but my derogatory shiny luck, is, actually, pulling back the azurites a bit. I'd try my best to add more shinies to the total, but I have no idea till when I'd be available. Though, honestly, I am still hopeful for a turn around (for the group I mean), and all isn't lost yet. I mean, you never know, RNG is pretty random enough to cause a big changeover.

Regarding recruitment, I am not quite familiar with Azurites not part of this group, but if there is anyone, I am a little familiar, I would totally ask them to join us.

[The Majestic Mr ...]

I dunno. It seems like a lot of new members that join are wulfenite.
It's also the fact that they have Jordan and Hiraelle like I've said.
I'm also in school 5~ hours a day so I can't really hatch unless I have computer access(like right now).

[GothMetal]

I'm not so active in general, and I don't care too much about competitions... I prefer to hatch what I wanted, or what I don't have yet... But it seems I burned out my shiny luck the first part of this month (I had like 2 or 3 I think, which is not usual..) but hopefully I'll hatch the damnene in time..

About new novelty.. I didn't read so much about the new mareep form.. also, I could't search so much (I'm on the final road to filmings, so very very busy...) .. but I was searching for the item on prize shop some days, but it didn't appear, and I'm wondering now if it's not a prize shop item.. do you know any of that or how I could get it? ... Unless I have now the snowball snorlax finally..

Unfortunately, Mareep item (or Shears) isn't available in the Prize shop yet. Fortunately, each time you have a Mareep, it will have to chance to hatch holding a shear. So at the present moment, only hatching Mareeps is the option.

[Makeltos]

My shiny luck as always sucks. On the plus side, I hope I can get the Creationist achievement (140 eggs to go).

[Aragarthiel]

I'm leaving this here in case you guys are interested at looking at the SWSH data.

It looks like we're getting the best shiny ratios so far this hunt, which means if we can get a few people to hatch loads of eggs we have a much better chance. I'm trying to click as much as I can in between classwork and toddler-watching but I don't think it's enough to put us ahead. We actually have the fewest eggs hatched per user right now, which is telling me there isn't much effort being put into this (56 eggs per entrant, to Malachite's 59 and Wulfenite's 62).

To be fair, I think it's more that Wulfenite has the higher number of entrants right now, but we still have the ability to counter it!

Ah, the RNG gods smile upon us. I wish they'd turn to me. Come on, gods! Look at this! *shows the pile of togepis overflowing the boxes*

[Shaoo]

These data are really interesting, thank you ara, I'm going to add them in the front page.
It's week end for me so I hope I'll have enough time to click and hatch ^^ I don't have wifi at work =/

I'd also like to welcome txtsd in our ranks o/
I will try to send some pm about joining the group, hope it would be a good thing ^^

[Makeltos]

Welcome, txtsd!

=== EDIT ===
Finally my first shiny of the swishy!



This Pokémon was egg #310 in Makeltos 's 4-day site-wide shiny hunt started on March 14th, 2016.

Congrats for your shinies guys!!!

I'm glad to welcome DemonicPlatypus!! Hope you'll have fun here!

I update a bit the front page with a little banner to cheer us all up! It's not great art sorry ^^° I'll add the anthems too!

Oh hell, I forgot to create a banner. Oh well, it's a beautiful banner, Shaoo. It is better now, that it would be, had I created something.

[Aragarthiel]

So far, I have two shiny Togepis and a shiny Dedenne, and I've moved on to Drifloon. If I didn't have so much classwork to finish by tomorrow I'd be hatching faster but I forgot about an assignment and I'm kinda hurrying to finish now

[Shaoo]

Haha thanks Gramelec ^^°
Don't worry Ara, you are doing your best omg you've got tons of shinies already! I don't have much time either, I have some classroom to check, lessons to make for my pupils... So no full time hatcher for me this time =( at least I hope I'll get a shiny ^^

We are motivated, and this is the best thing o/

[DemonicPlatypus]

Just hatched a shiny drifloon, time to grind a bunch of shiny togepis. Hopefully togepi won't be as annoying as drifloon was...
EDIT: 4 shiny togepi...
