Worst raider you've seen story?

1st day Moltres came out. Early morning we had already easily 4 manned the 1st one out of boredom and impatience. Got to the 2nd Moltres raid soon after and the 4th & 5th players wouldn't give a try until a 6th and POSSIBLY 7th showed up... Still kinda mad just thinking back.

There's a small "instinct only" group that used to show up to raids that my discord group had put together. They would walk around to each person whispering to them trying to find out if they were instinct as well, then would try to poach them from our groups. At times it worked leaving our groups short handed on more than one occasion. I remember one particular occurrence where a group of kids got left out as a result. The youngest was bawling because he didn't get to fight the ttar.

Past weekend 12 y/o kid level 32 and his dad level 34 were typing over and over on discord, "where is the best place to park? How many will we have raiding? Is there anyone else there?" On and on to prepare to battle a Moltres...with them we would have had 7--four over 30s and three mid20s, while in lobby they were network frozen out b/c a relative had caught them Kangs in Cali 30 min before. As leaving kid said, "we'll be back at this park later in the week for more raids". Wow, great kid, gonna be awesome when that happens! I got a gold badge at this gym the first week--39 days of defending it, thanks for visiting

We have (quietly) created a core raid group of about 11 people. We set the times, usually 45 minutes in advance. Once we are sure that the time is good for the core group that doesn't need help we announce the time and schedule to facebook and other platforms. We will occasionally scoot the time 5 or even 10 minutes as long as that doesn't ruin anyone's schedule. If you are late and don't communicate that you are running late then do not expect everyone to wait on you because we won't. We do whatever we can like today we split into a group of 6 to take down Tyranitar and left the other 9 that didn't mind to wait the 10 minutes for a guy doing his best to get there that kept us informed.

But we aren't holding up 12 folks because you couldn't make it. Not for the core guys either. We do not set times then innconvienece everyone for one late person.

Last Saturday in Indianapolis at Gen Con is mine. Was waiting for my game to start and noticed a Tyranitar Raid just starting next door. Since I had like 15 mins to spare, decided to hop on over and do it real quick. Get there, and already a second group is starting which I join and I Error when the battle starts. Move around, find another group and again I Error out when the battle starts. Reboot the game, same thing and now I'm late for my game. Blowing that off, I restart my phone and again I Error out when the battle starts. Switch phone to 3G, and try it again and get Error. Now like 40 mins have passed, I've tried standing in near every spot you can get access to the gym. Like in my 13th group, and Error out every time. Search the web for help, try turning-off clock update and anything else I can think of. Down to the final five mins of the raid, the very last group and I.... Error out again.

So in other words, I spent over a hour trying to get into a Tyranitar Raid and having no luck. Only good thing I was able to help other trainers with info or helping raid groups come together.

The new community I just moved to, Arlington, Tx, is just a mess all together. Raids have been out for over 2 months now and they still can't get their FB messenger groups sorted out. You can post and post and everyone ignores everyone without ever answering. Simple yes and no can go along way along with ETAs but it doesn't happen.

But how does she look, hot?

One of our towns organizers always tells the spoofers when to go in.

Me, and also the best. I have never seen another raider. Small town living.
