Shift

Current shift:

[box]Shift: A Pokemon may use the Shift command on an adjacent allied Pokemon in any multi-battle format. Shift switches the position of the Pokemon using it and its target without interfering with the target's actions. Shift cannot fail due to Taunt, cannot be Disabled, cannot be Encored, and cannot be interacted with by any other move that would otherwise prevent it from taking place.

ROUND ONE
(0) Nothing
(1) Remove
(3) Triples+ only
(2) Redirect
(3) Last Action

ROUND TWO
(3) Triples+ only
(3) Redirect
(3) Last Action

Great. Now what =.=

Deck Knight demands Triples+ w/ Redirect (which I guess means option 2)

Really, otherwise Shift is just a Bodyblock / Take Cover with none of the weaknesses or stipulations.

didn't see this before the DDoS... the way you would resolve that is to see if there's an option that, were one of its competitors removed, would win against the remaining—no matter what competitor was removed.

if we remove the redirect, we get mostly votes for triples+ only
if we remove the last action, we get mostly votes for redirect
if we remove the triples+ only, we get mostly votes for last action

...are you fucking kidding me

i guess the only thing left to do now is hold a bold vote?

edit: deck ninjad me

Pwne & I were discussing on what to do, & with Deck breaking the tie, we came up with two possible ways to go about this:

• Implement the re-direct proposal & end voting
• Vote again with the only options being re-direct & last action, given irrespective of what item we drop between Triples+ & Last action, Triples+ will never get majority.

We both agreed that we should do the former & just implement the re-direct proposal, which would look like:
[BOX]Shift: A Pokemon may use the Shift command on an adjacent allied Pokemon in any Triples+ match where positioning is on. Shift switches the position of the Pokemon using it and its target without interfering with the target's actions, while all other attacks aimed the the user or the target will still hit the intended target as normal if possible. Shift cannot fail due to Taunt, cannot be Disabled, cannot be Encored, and cannot be interacted with by any other move that would otherwise prevent it from taking place.

If any council member has any objections to implementing the re-direct proposal, speak up now. Otherwise, this will be the new Shift.

GDI stop highlighting me with that word!

In all seriousness, even though that version of Shift wasn't my first choice, I'm perfectly fine with it being implemented according to Deck's vote.

Okay, no real objections? Alrightio then. Time to nerf shift for real. Thanks to all who voted.
