READ THIS WHOLE POST AND FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS.

As I described in the original Smogon Council thread, nine players will be selected to cast a vote to decide the tiering of Salamence. If you believe you are qualified and are interested in being on the Council, you must post your application here. Your application must include the elements listed below. Descriptions and clarification of each element follow.

  • Primary Shoddy Account Username
  • Standard Ladder Rating:
  • Standard Ladder Deviation:
  • Suspect Ladder Rating:
  • Suspect Ladder Deviation:
  • Tournament Presence:
  • Optional short paragraph:
Explanation of elements and directions:

1) We ask for your primary shoddy account username in order to verify the claims you make about your rating and deviation. With the help of Doug, we are able to pull and examine extensive statistics about every player. We ask for your username to make sure we're looking at the right account.

2) Standard/Suspect Rating and Deviation: This provides us with a good measure of the amount of time and effort you put into test and your general experience with the game as of late. The numbers you post should correspond to the actual numbers available on the server at the time of your post. Screenshots are encouraged since all required numbers will be immediately verifiable. We will look these numbers up when we are evaluating applications. Any significantly large unfavorable variances between what you report here and what we find on the server won't help your chances. Providing a screenshot helps eliminates this risk for you. Your rating is computed as the average between the high and lows of the server provided range. Your deviation is the difference between the high and the low divided by 2. Use /record username to look up the information.

3) Tournament presence: This is just another way for us to evaluate your competency in the game. Anything you post here should be relevant to the test at hand. This means DP OU only. Any claims you make here should be supported by links to the individual tournament threads to allow us to quickly verify your claims. We welcome information relating to all tournaments from the past year, including #stark cups.

4) The optional short paragraph is there for you to simply sound off about why you should be chosen over everyone else. When I say short... I mean it. We are not interested in reading anything longer than a few sentences there.

READ THIS WHOLE POST AND FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS.

In about a week, this thread will be closed, and Jumpman and I will announce who has been chosen. A vote will be held shortly thereafter. Please do not be discouraged if you are not chosen... obviously nine is a rather small number so some competent people just won't make the cut.

Thanks again to everyone for participating!

Oh, I'll also simply delete posts that do not follow the directions in the OP. If you notice your post was deleted, that's why. We are always appreciative of your support... but I want to keep this thread clean. So please refrain from "good luck," "thank you," or "I want Uber" sorts of posts.

Regardless of whether I'm chosen or not, thank you Aeolus, Doug, and Jump for allowing the community to be involved in the tiering process, and excellent work as always on running the process so smoothly.

I have also demonstrated my intelligence and willingness to participate in the tiering process through my involvement in both the OU and UU Suspect testing processes.

  • Optional short paragraph:
After this topic was announced, I immediately jumped onto the OU ladder and have been consistently laddering throughout the testing period. I waited about one week to start the Suspect ladder, as I usually do, to watch matches first and get the feel for what the metagame looks like. I was informed that this test would last through June 22nd, which was a relief to me since I became a Frontier brain on the 20th and had to test members trying out for the US West World Cup team around that time, including having to deal with a recent SPL trade and getting my matches done for that (and that is just to mention my duties in the tournaments forum). With this information, I decided to stop laddering on the 21st of June, where I was ranked 6th on the OU ladder with a CRE of 1617 and 10th on the Suspect ladder with a CRE of 1582 simultaneously. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find time for either ladder and maintain these ratings since the 21st. Here are my screen shot proofs (please note the date they were taken at the bottom right):


I believe the fact that I hit these ratings on both ladders simultaneously is proof that I am very knowledgeable on both metagames, and have had a lot of experiences in both. The fact that I placed top 4 out of 128 in the recent FUK DRAGONS tournament and have a 70% win rate as a Frontier brain shows that I not only know how to succeed on the relevant ladders in both metagames, but in tournament scenarios as well. With this knowledge and experience, I hope to be selected as one of the 9 Smogon Council members. Thank you for considering me.

Edit: I know this is already fairly long, but I also wanted to add that I have voted in the last five OU suspect tests, which shows that I have consistently kept up to date with all the metagames, and have proven on multiple occasions that my logic on tiering is sound. Sorry for the long post, and again, thanks.

Edit 2: Added links to tournaments section.

I've been in the top 5 in OU and Suspect at the same time on the same alt, spamming many battles along the way. I hope my extensive laddering can make up for the lack of tournament experience, but if not that's fine.

I am not as strong of an OU player as I was maybe six months ago, but my experience regarding Salamence is about as high as it could possibly be, and I have proven my intelligence and level-headedness with respect to OU during my time here at Smogon as a former RMT and Stark Mountain moderator. And hey I was #4 on suspect and #9 on standard at the same time about a week ago, so I can't be that bad!

I have consistently participated in the suspect program as shown as I was in the first batch to obtain a wing badge (due to battling and excluding ToF and KG) and I have also voted in UU tests as well as OU. Since I joined I have always kept up with the metagame (and changes in it) so I think I have a lot of experience with suspect voting and fourth generation OU.

Nah, don't worry about it too much. We explicitly asked for Suspect and Standard Ladder credentials before posting this thread, and there's no way that we are going to dock the people who haven't participated in tourneys, especially given that the ladder is definitely more canon than x tournament almost by definition since many tournaments have specialized rules and restrictions that simply do not and cannot apply to the aims of these Councils. I may be speaking for myself here as someone who never played tourneys even when he was competitively active, but I felt it was worth mentioning regardless.

Oh, also, Philip is automatically removed from consideration due to his 400-word "short" paragraph. Just kidding. Or am I. But seriously, I'm pretty sure that either Aeolus and I remember who has been granted voting rights for the past few tests or we're capable of recognizing upon whom we have conferred a Tiering Contributor badge or realizing its meaning and significance.

I will, though, take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the rest of you (and the rest of Phil's post) for being exactly what we are looking for. But don't be the 5'11" girl who wears 4" heels to an exclusive nightclub. Nobody needs to have a reason to want to look down on anyone, figuratively or literally.

I know this all looks crappy, and that's cause it is.
But, this is my alt, cause my main suspect account (DespotarsSuspect) has about 1300 rating cause I made it after taking a break from battling, so I lost a lot.
My OU rating would be higher, but I don't play it often. (I have many OU alts, (Despotars, DespotarsOU, etc) and I would rather have my many, many games played (Over 1000 at least) show for me. I know what OU V.S suspect is. I have payed plenty of both in my time, (right now for instance), and I know what I want. Please don't let my lack of good CRE turn you off.

• Optional short paragraph:

I laddered consistently through the whole suspect period on both the standard and the suspect ladder. I was #1 on suspect for much of the testing period (reached a 1719 CRE with a 1918 rating) and later made the top 10 of the standard ladder (~1775 rating, OU rating dropped after testing stuff after the deadline and deviation dropped because of vacation), which displays my skill and experience in the two different metagames.
I also consistently showed my success in the DPP OU Metagame throughout the last year. After my victory in Smogon Tour 8, I developed into a respected member of the Smogon Community and demonstrated my interest in the tiering process by participating in many stages.

Due to this I believe that I have a good knowledge of the metagame and a rather good understanding of which changes will benefit the OU Metagame and which will not.
 
Hi. I dont know how to take a screen shot so I will just post my info. If anyone wants to they can check on Shoddy. I decided to do some OU laddering yesterday and today on the alt "straightoutofcali" because my other alt was just pretty lame. Also, I dont know if how much it matters as I'm not so familiar with how fast ratings drop, but I haven't played in 16 days on suspect (before yesterday) due to a trip to Italy.

I may not have the reputation that most of the other boys and girls in this thread do, but I do think I know what I am talking about. I voted in the Manaphy/Latias test which was my first try at suspect. I was unable to vote during Latias' suspect test because I had several alts on the forbidden list. I'm online pretty much every day, and I have talked with many users about Salamence's power, so I believer I would be a great addition to the 1st Smogon Council. If anything, thank you for your consideration.

  • Suspect Ladder Rating: 1279 (Yozman) 1320 (Yozalt)
  • Suspect Ladder Deviation: 70 (Yozman) 85 (Yozalt)
  • Tournament Presence: a couple of #Stark Cups and Smogon Frontier but outside of that, nothing.
  • Optional short paragraph: Obviously I don't have great CRE and a reason is given later, but although I am not great at battling, I understand the Metagame well. I have also studied the reasons why certain pokes (latias/wobbuffet/garchomp/etc.) were banned so I hope this makes up or my lack of experience in that as well.
  • My Suspect CRE used to be around 1400+ and my Dev used to be much lower however I have been away for the last two weeks. Prior to those two weeks, I was very active and debated Mence's position in OU with #stark with vigour. Personally, I believe I would be a good candidate for the Council as I am still neutral and I entered smogon's competitive battling scene shortly before Latias was banned. Therefore I would be more familiar to this current metagame.
