I can't be bothered to weed through the whole thread and determine if there were more posts than that trying to nominate Rankurusu. That said, the point that I was trying to imply was that Rankurusu hasn't been a major topic of discussion until it was first mentioned in the nominations thread by a select few people who attainted voting rights, and that had it been a legitimate concern for the majority of the suspect testing, it would have received at least some notable attention. I wouldn't classify a single nomination that was quickly weeded out as notable. Nattorei has also been nominated, however like Rankurusu previously, it never gained momentum; I'd assume largely because there wasn't any credible and experienced battlers backing up the nomination.

I have a lot of faith in Jabba's opinions despite not agreeing with him, because he's experienced. Anyway, it was worth mentioning, so I'm appreciative you corrected me.

not really important enough to go in the thread but i thought it might interest you a little?

'However, prior to it's first mentioning in the nomination thread, NO ONE had even muttered a word of Rankurusu...So what. Was Rankurusu a problem this entire time and no one said anything?'

That wasn't the first. To my knowledge, the first 'nomination' of Rankurusu was back in December. It never really gained any momentum at the time and after a few replies such as 'lol are you serious' and 'use spiritomb,' it fizzled out.

Not of great importance but it does answer your question.
