[D/P] WiFi Friends and other tomfoolery

Surprisingly enough, I actually used to regularly read AGNP. I think I
may have posted a few times, and for a while, I had my own PW!
character.

Anyone who may remember me probably remembered me under the nickname
of "Icehawk78".

Honestly, none of that is very important, unless you (whoever you are,
reading this message) wanted to know who I am. The main reason I'm
posting is cause I finally broke down and bought both a DS and Pokemon
Diamond. So naturally, since the WiFi-ness enables people to actually
play against each other, I want to partake in this. Unfortunately, the
only other person who I know who plays this is rather terrible at
battling on an even level (i.e. when she hasn't got a significant
level advantage).

Therefore, I'd like to branch into one of the places I'm *sure* has
decent, if not outright exceptionally good battlers. So, fellow AGNP-
ers, feel free to post your friend codes and/or screen names on here
(IM helps when arranging battles so that there aren't time-zone issues
or other timing issues that would end up with someone being stuck
waiting in a PokeCenter for an hour). If there has already been an
effort to do this which has gotten buried and thus consequently
ignored by me because I'm too dumb/lazy to read below the front page.
Perhaps if there's a better way of reading the group other than
through Google Groups, I should get that, since Google Groups doesn't
seem to bump recently-replied-to topics to the front page.


Obviously, I'll start:

Game Name: Icey La
Friend Code: 2191 5025 7070

---------------------------------------------

To make it easy, I'll even provide a handy Copy/Paste empty form in
the same format as mine, even though it isn't that difficult:

Game Name:
Friend Code:

---------------------------------------------

I'll likely add anyone who replies to this thread unless they
specifically say that they have not added me.

Really? You should rejoin! I've come back for the first time in two or
three years ...

Nick?! Dear lord! That puts my two or three years in perspective! I'd
barely just joined when you were last active!

Hey, returning AGNPers are always welcome. As are newbies, but it's nice
when you know your newbies from your oldies.

Mine's in my sig. I'm in the UK, in terms of time zone, and my Pokémon
team's on :L35. I've got MSN (my e-mail address is the one I'm posting
from).

Actually, it does. The group's been pretty quiet lately, though, which is
why there aren't as many posts as you'd have expected.

By now, Usenet's hard to come by. For the record, I found Google Groups a
pretty decent way of checking the group - better than most web-based
browsers anyway.

Added. My Friend Code's in my sig - feel free to add it. My name's
Steffan, but I'm not sure it matters whether you get the name right or not.

Welcome back to the group, mate. I'm pretty sure that, if you rejoined the
PW!, it'll break the previous record of length between two posts.

(I love the idea of breaking PW! records. I'm going for "longest space of
time between creation of WG and scene of capturing a Pokémon", since my
character Karl's been around since May 2001 and has never caught a Pokémon
"on-screen".)
