Hmm... your attempt at creating a "bold" title caught my eye, oddly enough. The command for bold text on this message board is a "b" in brackets ([ b ], without the spaces).

You're making a lot of demands for people to join your group, so good luck. In fact, I'm going to try and help you out. Not by joining; I definitely don't qualify, and even if I did, I'm just not playing as much as I used to so I lack the interest in joining such a group. Still, I think you're making this more difficult than it needs to be with a few of your requirements. I mean, worst case scenario, it keeps your thread more visible without you resorting to bumping it yourself.

I'll put it in Spoiler Tags so you don't even have to look at it if you don't want to:

* Live in Australia or in the same time zones

If the goal is to have people playing at the same time then Time Zone doesn't matter, schedule does. You might be leaving out some good players who, more often than not, could still participate because their schedule (when they can play and chat) aligns with yours even if they are in another country or Time Zone.

* Have Plug.Dj or Discord. (Preferably both so we can listen to some tunes)

...having Discord to more easily chat makes sense, though even that could leave out some good players because they have the skill, they have the time, they just don't have a device (or enough devices) to comfortably run both programs. Unlikely, but it happens; after all, if you're spending money on Pokémon that means less for everything else. Emails can be really handy for discussing TCG strategies; if you're doing it right, it forces you to think a bit before "speaking", and you've got a handy, searchable record for finding little details down the line. Seriously, one of my gripes about the PTCGO is I can't save worthwhile gamelogs, like I used to on older, unofficial methods of playing Pokémon online.

Now, the music thing was simply "preferred", but you might want to leave it out entirely. Not just because you might not enjoy each other's musical tastes; I goofed one time when a friend was thinking of coming back to the TCG, and kicked on one of my songs as we played. I didn't realize he was nervous - my other friend and I had selected "theme songs" for ourselves to play while we played - so this was super intimidating to him (which he later explained). If Plug.DJ doesn't have you listen to the same tunes... then it doesn't really matter how or what you both listen to. XD

The rest of what you said sounds good, though. Once again, good luck and happy gaming!

I'm going to agree with Otaku about music: one of my testing partners has a habit of singing to himself if our testing games are going his way. This definitely puts a damper on some of our testing sessions.
