The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Haley, Jake and the others also hopped off the bus, giving off a bit of a stretch.  SpongeBob looked around "Um, hey Frankie, isn't Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy suppose to be here as well?"

Frankie glanced around before replying "Oh no, I hope they didn't get lost or anything like that" she spoke as soon, they arrived.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy got out of their vehicle as Barnacle Boy spoke "I told you we shouldn't have stopped to get some meatloaf"
"But, a growing young lad needs his food" Mermaid Man told Barnacle Boy as they walked over to everyone else.

"Yes, many more participants this year it would seem." Droopy said looking around a little.  

"Many more then there were last time." Wally said looking around at all those present.

Everyone else followed them down the path to where the tryouts were going to be held.

Running up to everyone from behind was a small yellow mouse, running all the way over to Stripetail and attempted to comunicate with him "Pika, pika, pika, Pikachu" he told him as he showed him a flyer as well in regards to the tryouts, pointing to it and talking some more "Pika, pika, pikachu, pika!"

"Pikachu" was all Pikachu had said as he then followed everyone else to the clearing to where the tryouts were to be help.

"So, how far away is the clearing?" Frankie asked Stripetail as they walked on.

Seeing they had arrived Gary drove off to find a handy, unobserved place to change to his animated human form before deciding what to do next.

Pikachu ran off ahead of everyone else, to which Jake called out "Hey! Little yellow mouse thing! Wait up!" he called off after Pikachu.

Pikachu stopped and looked back "Pika, pika, pika, pikachu!" he spoke as he pointed ahead some more, having found the clearing first.

"Look out, coming through, move it or loose it" a voice called out as he stepped up upon stage.

SpongeBob looked over and saw who it was, gasping as well "Man Ray!"

Man Ray looked to Stripetail, Scooby, Yogi and Droopy and then to all the toons who had gathered as he spoke, mainly to Stripetail "Since the other leader is not here, I am going to be the leader for the Rottens"

"Pikachu?" Pikachu asked with a tilt of his head as well before speaking up "Pika! Pika, pika, pikachu!" he spoke as he pointed to Man Ray in general.

"Yes, that is the evil Man Ray" Mermaid Man told Pikachu "But I do not know why he's wanting to be on the teams in the first place"

Let me adress a few things first. There will be FOUR teams this year. First the defendinf champions from the previous laffalympiucs , the Scooby Doobies, represented by Scooby Doo!'

Good to be back" Yoguii waved " tHird the Really Rottens represented by.. um..Manray" There was no applause, a pin could be heard in the clearing " and the new addition this year, represented by Droppy Dog, the Droppy Dawgs!" the cropwd clapped respectfully.

"Prison? Most likely" Man Ray spoke before letting off a small grumble as no one had applauded for him, save for Patrick Star, to which SpongeBob got him to stop clapping.

"Hmm, I do wonder who else is going to be on Man Ray's team" Frankie thought out loud.

"My best bet is that Tak will try out" Zim spoke up "She's always been after the Earth from me and she will do whatever it takes to oppose me!"

As you indicate your interest, your name will appear in the bracket for that team. you mat tryout for more than one team.. in all there are to by 23-26 members of each team, 30 including subs. Now a big difference this time, is that everyone who makes the team will be paid.  100, 000 dollars, and will the chance to earn more.."

"Sounds reasonable." Droopy said.

"maybe." Wally said, not fully understanding what was said.  "I wonder what team I should try out for.  Not the rottens for sure." Wally said.

---

Gary continued watching, seeing there were only toons there he thought through all his forms to try to decide which one to use, if he wanted to ry out for any teams at all.  not that he fully needed the money.  he could just be a drifter and explore the multiverse as he had done before.

"Pika, pika, pika, pikachu!" Pikachu called out.

"Good point, but we don't know that for sure" Frankie told Pikachu back.

"What did he say?" Mac asked Frankie rather curiously.

"Something about that Gabriel woman, well, at least I think that's what he said" Frankie replied back with a small scratch of her head looking at Pikachu still.

Pikachu just looked at Franie a bit annoyed as well with a small grumble too.

Pikachu ran over to the signup area along with Haley and Mac at the very least.  Pikachu looked at the different teams and started to point out to them each "Pika, pikachu? Pika, pika, pikachu?"

"I think he wants to know which team is better" Haley spoke up.

Pikachu pointed to Haley to more or less indicate that she was correct on the matter.
