Since I'll be leaving today, we (Opal and I) decided Silver shall be other-judge. I'm pretty sure we all can trust Silver enough to be able to battle and judge without making himself win all the time. Though, if I have the chance, I'll judge if I can get online while I'm gone.
Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?

Well, at least Hustle got one attack in before you put him to sleep. FYI: <a href='http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm' target='_blank'>this</a> is a lot better than coins.
You're up now Klouse, hit Walter with Razor Leaf!

I always thought it was around 50%... I think there are other variables involved, but sleep never seems to last TOO long.
And just FYI, I'm gonna say Klouse is still up, because Powder Snow, while super effective, isn't an incredibly powerful attack to begin with. Just in case anyone thought I was ignoring my judge-ly duties.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

It also depends on whether or not you were hit. I think it starts at 33%, if yu're hit by a water attack, you automatically wake up. Anything else, the percentage is raised to about 50%. I think.

I don't think that's the case... I'm pretty sure I've seen Pokemon sleep through water attacks. For now, let's just say it's 50% and let Opal give the final word when she gets back.
And Lick has a 30% chance of causing paralysis.

Of course Klouse isn't paralyzed; he's gone and fainted.
