I'm sorry, I was really (surprisingly) busy yesterday and today so I wasn't able to get this up on time. I'll be available to those that had questions for me tomorrow (as seen from my PM box ~__~).
Here are those that qualified.
Everyone on this list must post in this thread identifying him- or herself and submit a response to the two topics listed below via PM to me (Caelum), Great Sage, and RB-Golbat by Tuesday, July 14, at 11:59 PM EDT.
1) Characterize your involvement in the test. Did you play consistently throughout both months? Did you use any of the suspects before they were banned?
2) Describe the criteria you will be using to cast your vote. For you, what aspects of a pokemon should be judged when determining its tiering between UU and BL?
When addressing the second question, it is strongly recommended that you observe the Characteristics of Uber that were worked up in Policy Review for months:
Offensive Characteristic
A Pokémon is BL if, in common battle conditions, it is capable of sweeping through a significant portion of teams in the metagame with little effort.
Defensive Characteristic
A Pokémon is BL if, in common battle conditions, it is able to wall and stall out a significant portion of the metagame.
Support Characteristic
A Pokémon is BL if, in common battle conditions, it can consistently set up a situation in which it makes it substantially easier for other pokemon to sweep.
Of course, you may apply for special permission to myself (Caelum) or Great Sage by addressing the following:
1) Smogon Shoddy Battle Name
2) Screenshot of Smogon Shoddy Record
3) Computed scores for Rating and Deviation on the UU ladder
4) Explanation of why you did not meet the rating requirements ("I'm too busy" will get you an automatic denial)
5) Explanation of why you should be allowed to vote
Don't PM RB-Golbat for this because it's questionable if he will be available to respond to you in a timeful manner due to him being busy this summer, so just myself or Great Sage.
Again, sorry for the delay!
Here are those that qualified.
