Personal memo from past and present Sora Members regarding the shutdown of the league.
Sora
Has been a big thing for me
Its lead to a big change in my life
And to you i am grateful
Paging revman and risu
- ΔSora TerrorsΔ, The Sparkles of Sora
Ladies and gay cunts (mainly risu) I don't talk often but I think I should say this, but I kinda love most of you (not risu tho he gay) but Sora has been a place for me to feel comfortable from real life issues, as only some of you (Ateam) know, something happened that almost made me leave, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Terminal Lung Cancer and I honestly would like to say a personally thank you to both Blade and Risu for being some top blokes for helping me through that.
I don't wanna be gay like Risu but I would like to say thank to most of you cheers for being apart of something as great as this, I hope the best for all of you in the future.
I'll try my best to keep in contact as much as I can and I will continue being as Heat as always if PU comes out but only time will tell.
Love ya boys btw you're all lucky to have me or met me in your life you fucks 😀

Even back when I first joined as Melody, I was making memories that would last. I never thought they'd become something I have to treasure, so soon. And when I returned, now as Luscinia...
I can't say it wasn't fun. Between the first few tours, where I showed Comfey's might, clear through to now, where I've made a new team, full of bad meme. I couldn't have done any of it without most of the a-team backing me up, even if it never seemed like it.
This place, this league, it meant a lot for me. And while it's sad to see it go like this, it's time to let go of the past. They're right, the era of leagues is over. But one thing I'll never forget, is how I helped influence this place for the better. And I'll never forget all of you.
Keep your Melody going, everyone... And spread your wings. Be proud.

I havent visited much recently bc real lifes a bitch and im moving out in october, but im going to be sad to see the place go, theres a lot of old members here id like to stay in touch with and even with how busy shits been ive tried to come on at least a couple times a month to see how the leagues doing and say a quick hi to noah and anyone whose on.
This place was a very big part of my life at one point when i lived in ringwood didnt have many friends i was antisocial and people there were dicks, sora was the family id chosen, and while ive been in and out of the league i didnt consider the idea of it ever not existing.
I'm grateful the discord still exists though so the option to stay in contact exists when we can, there has been a lot of good memories to hold onto though, like the ipl's and vgc, so im glad it was worth it for you as well

For as much crap I had for the league, I honestly had a great time in it as a leader, but also as a student. A lot of great competitive battlers reside here, and I eas fortunate enough to watch and learn from them.
Neith, you gave me the hook up, and though we've kinda distanced ourselves, I appreciate what you did for this league, for the people that it's brought together. Thank you Noah for putting up with the shit I pulled.
Again, thank you all for not only bettering myself as a player, but also as a person in general. Sora will be missed.

Wow.... I honestly can not believe that sora is shutting down. Tbh I probably should have guessed after talking to risu last night.
Sora has affected me in so many ways for the better, and has changed me to not be the young idiot that I used to be when I first challenged the league. Going from the young person with a UU Team (still no regrets) struggling to beat a single frontier member to the Elite Frontier with the exact same team (I wonder how many of you noticed). Sora has given me so many opportunities to further myself as a person and I can not thank you all enough for everything you all have done. I want to say a quick apology to all those ive made salty over the years, I never meant it in a malicious way, only just a friendly way.
Thank you to Noah and Risu who served as my mentors, and showed me the way I could get better and improve myself. Thank you to Neith, thou we may have started off on sour grounds, we learned to not hate each other and youve taught a lot to me to further myself (and to not judge people so quickly).
Thank you to Onyx and Jeratt for helping my throughout my time here, and always being willing to help out anyone that needed it.
Thank you to Blade for giving me the amazing opportunity to be in charge of the Game Corner, you seriously dont know how much that helped me on the day you made the announcement (mental health stuff sucks :/), and thank you for keeping the server going, youve done an amazing job! Seriously though, thank you so much for keeping the server alive through your endless struggles through the land of coding.
And lastly... Tempest... probably someone that hated me for moments during my time in Sora.. especially with my imfamous togekiss. Ahh the memories of making everyone, but especially you salty. From there though, I think that I have learned so much from you, and I consider you a friend of mine. Thank you also for the opportunity to work on an art collab with you for sora, even if it stressed you out and you had to do most of the work ;).
Thank you also to some of my friends whilst I was on sora such as night, temp, silvy, blade, mitsuka, meows, zach and leaf. You have all helped me grow into who I am today and your continuous support makes me so grateful.
Though it may sound like it, I am not leaving this discord anytime soon, im still going to continue to annoy you all through memes and politics, so you all have that to look forward to :)
Apologies if I missed anyone, you all have been so nice to me and I hope I can continue to talk to you all towards the future :)
- ΔSora YoumatonΔ, Sora's Youngster
It was a great ride while it lasted. My time as a leader was unforgettable. I have to thank Youmaton for introducing me to it, Jeratt for welcoming me, Noah for being a great champion and Tempest, for being Tempest.
It's been a blast, guys. Thanks for everything.
- Hawkatana, (Placeholder)
Its been a great experience hanging with y'all. I just want to thank everyone who liked me or for some reason disliked me(yes there are some) for making every moment memorable.
To all the friends, I hope we continue to stay in touch. To the a team members, You've done a fantastic job over the years. I'd highlight all of you awesome guys but there are too many to name.
But I do wanna thank BlakJack for inviting me. I have always wished you luck in a pokemon game, but now I want to wish you good luck in the other game, the game of life.
Oh and dont forget to Have Fun.

You know, ever since I joined this league, I had a strong feeling about this place. It was filled with good people and ever since I joined, I always thought to myself, "This sure is a nice place. I hope it doesn't die off like some of the other leagues I saw." Now it has come to farewell.
I wasn't active ever since I entered the hell which is known as the IB Course. But you know what, despite me being inactive and having other complicated personal stuff in my life, this place was always a good place to visit. You guys were basically another family to me. This place has a special place in my heart. I'll never forget those days when this place was at its prime when I was around.
It greatly saddens me to see this league go away. I can't put it to words such as thank you. No, it deserves better than thank you. I would say that this place changed my life. Who would have thought that this place would have lasted for 4 years? I sure didn't, but you know, all the more reason as to why I'm going to miss it so much. I really will miss all of you guys.
Thank you to Onyx for helping me out so much in the League when I started out as a Rock Leader.
Thank you to Noah for all the good memories.
Thank you to Bart for being a good friend to talk to when it came to DOTA 2 and other stuff.
Thank you to Risu who is an overall amazing guy.
Thank you to Tempest for all the funny jokes, current artworks, and the stuff you did.
Thank you to Neith for making this League come true.
Thank you to Youmaton for being one of the greatest veterans of this league.
Thank you to Terror for being a great dude and also for playing Fire Emblem.
Thank you to Meows for being a close friend.
Thank you to Jeratt for doing all the artworks before.
Thank you to Night for being one of the oldest members that I've been with ever since I joined.
Thank you to Blade for making this server run well and also for that april fools video with that sick meme of you crashing the server as Bane 😀
I'm pretty sure I missed a lot of the others, but I think you get the idea. You guys truly changed a part of my life and all I can hope is that we can continue to communicate with each other in the future.

- ΔSora ZacharyΔ, Sora's Water Staller
I joined showdown when i was 11 and joined a sora a few months back thanks to Gary advertising in the main lobby.this was after Arani and Onyx revived Sora sometime in Aug '13. I got initiated as the first ever fight GL of new Sora. 4 years and a few kicks and quits later,it kinda feels really sad to see the league delet.
But from my personal point of view,this was the best time for me to quit league life and concentrate more on my year 11 and studies. There are several people whom I want to thank for giving me this wonderful opportunity to be part of this wonderful community named Sora. I know I will miss out on some names as my memory is no longer as good as it used to be.plz forgive me if i missed ur name.
Onyx and Gary for letting me be part of sora
Noah for being the best champ
Drago and Bart for being gr8 frontierheads even if i didnt like drago's wish to have ladderable tiers alone as frontier tiers.(My (in)famous slowmons got ABootToTheHead there
Toast and the rest of the ATeam for believing i can be a nice boy again after i got kicked from the league and got threatened with a joinban due to some issues with my reasoning
Mitsuka,Mark:Despite severe timezone clashes i loved whatever i could talk to with u guys
Blade,Zach and Arjun for helping me with academics stuff whenever i needed help with it and i feel i would have to come back to u guys alot this yr
Silvy: U were a bitch and u still are but u are still my best friend from PS.Fuck U again
Youm, Bigo and Leaf for being real good friends with whom i can share my shit with
I may have missed some names and i am sorry bout that.
Hope we all can continue our friendships through Discord and let The Sora Community reach the SKY

Okay guys we're going for massive throwback here...
4 years. Wow. I still remember back in the day when it was just Neith, Onyx, Risu (Drago at the time), Toast and myself. Sora's come a long way since then. That was back when all we had was a little Chatzy room, let alone a server (thanks Noah ❤️️ ). My time in the league has resulted in making great friends (not you Risu, you're still an ass ❤️️ ), growing as a competitive Pokémon player and as a person (a bit). I still can't believe I was 13 when I joined this league. I'm 18 this year. That's just crazy. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, but it's been a hell of a ride. Now I have some messages for a few of you:
To Risu,
Without you I'd never have been a part of this crazy thing. Thanks for all the effort you put into IPL (except season V, that was mainly Srewop but shhh) and the Frontier, and most of all thank you for all the bants we've had over the years.
To Noah,
In my opinion, best Champ this league ever had. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into running the League, it really wouldn't be what it is (or was) without you.
To Neith,
Absolute legend. You're the reason there even is a Sora League, and for that I can't thank you enough.
To Blade,
Thanks for all the work you put into making the server run as well as it did. Who knows what the server would be without you 😂
To Srewop,
You're a cuck, but you're the best cuck I've ever met ❤️
To Zach,
Thanks for being the best bloke around. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/sora-monotype-11474 Give this another watch, will ya?
To Onyx,
You're a big part of why the League lasted as long as it did. Without you and Arani, our League wouldn't be here today. And I'm willing to forgive you for not mentioning me with Neith and Risu as part of the original members.
To Jeratt and Tempest,
Thanks for making the server look great with all the art you guys made for it. Keep up the good work guys!
To Meows,
Sorry for all the times I trash talked you, I was only ever joking and never meant to do any harm. Although we may have had our differences, you were still a great guy to have around.
To Terror,
Why'd you have to keep beating me when you were a challenger? And then you decide to take my type too? Anyway what's done is done, thanks for all the good times bro.
To Youmaton:
Sorry for taking your money ️
To Night,
Thanks for all the great battles we had, you were always up for it when no one else was.
Anyways, that's all from me guys ❤️️ just remember: it's all shits and gigs until someone gigs and shits

I can't believe that Sora is going to close. I guess it's like the old saying that "nothing last forever" and "no party that never ends". It been over a year since I joined the league. I promised myself that this will be my final league that I will join when Silvy invited me to try out.
I joined Sora as Grass type specialist, the spot that I hold so tight until a month ago lol. Well, it was fun guys, thank you. People here are so supportive and reasonable. Thank you so much for everything.
Thank you Noah, Blade, Neith, Jeratt for being supportive of my style of team. Thank you to every members for being a good company during our time in the league.
I will not forget this league. It has been a pleasure to be a part of the community.
