SS ZU: TomatoZause vs their obsession with Tuthur and everything related to them - This will be the most hype matchup of this years iteration of ZUPL. Will estemeed Room Voice TomatoZause overcome their "bieber fever" and unleash their full power, leading their team to victory, or will they crumble to the pressure of beating their idols team, thus betraying them and their own believes. I have no idea how this will turn out, but I can only hope for TomatoZause that they only have to endure this once in this iteration of ZUPL.

Activity win request.

MZ and I scheduled for 9pm GMT-4 here. I made it explicitly clear to him I was unable to play from Friday until Sunday here in my first message due to a trip.

I told MZ I was online slightly before the scheduled time, providing my PS name of Finchinator and the Smogon Tours PS server as a location. When he did not show up and I knew I was running up against it time wise if I had to wait too long, I tagged both managers in the aforementioned VM at :05 and btboy tagged both managers in the ZU discord at :06. My tag of the managers starts the 30 minute window they have to provide MZ or a substitute for me to play.

I tagged them again after 15 minutes to try and get them to get MZ or a substitute online as I really do not have time tonight with packing, IRL stuff, and OU/Tours stuff still on the docket for me when I have to be up before 6am tomorrow morning. I tried again with 5 minutes in this window in a last ditch attempt to prompt them to substitute or provide a player. None of them responded, meaning MZ did not come on for 35 minutes and no substitute was produced.

This is a clear cut activity win. I wasted 35 minutes of a very busy day and made it clear far in advance that I could not play Friday or the weekend, so I am not going to put my team or myself in an unfair position and I am going to claim the activity win.
