This will be a single bold vote. Make sure that you bold your vote and nothing else! A typical vote might look like the following:

Quote:

My preferred ability

Any comments that the voter has would go below the votes in non-bold text. Bold text is used to determine what the user's votes are, so none of the supplementary text should be in bold.

Please post only your votes in this thread. Do not respond to other posts, or your posts will be moderated and you may be warned. You are allowed to say whatever you like in relation to your vote at the bottom of your post, but please do not look to begin a discussion. Keep those comments to #cap on IRC.

This poll will be open for 24 hours starting from the post following this one.

When voting, use only the ability! The list of possible votes includes:

No Guard
No Competitive Ability

No Guard

Let's take a risk with this CAP and see if we can do something truly deep and truly outside-the-box. That is, after all, what we're here to do.

Risk vs. reward

that should say enough.

No guard
one imprtant thing that people seem to forget is that if we only stick with ilussion and weak armor it will be SUPER EASY to detect what ability the opponent runs, I mean if you see CAP4 it obviously has weak armor and if you see a ferrothorn using a bug move well then it has illusion. With no Guard this won't be a problem just saying.

No Competitive Ability

As much as I wanted to have another ability, No Guard really is worse than nothing. I don't think it benefits the concept, and clearly has the potential to be too good or too bad depending on our future choices. Balancing the two abilities we already have is enough.

3 risky and very different abilities. That should be interesting.

No Competitive Ability

The main difference between Golurk and CAP4 is that CAP4 is going to have the stats and movepool necessary to fit in with BW2 OU. No Guard will easily act as the ability of choice should we allow it, at least over Weak Armor.

nyttyn · Oct 5th, 2012, 11:24:18 AM

No Guard

Because seriously who at this point still gives a fuck about weak armor?

meteor64 · Oct 5th, 2012, 11:28:22 AM

No Guard

I find it ridiculous how Motor Drive was for the most part not even acknowledged for discussion in the last topic.

As it stands, I don't see either No Guard or No Competitive Ability doing anything significant other than still keeping your opponent guessing when they know you're not an Illusion variant, and for that purpose, theres no reason to not have No Guard really. The ONLY reason I'm voting No Guard is because Illusion is there. Thats it.

Instead of picking the one that pretty much will make Weak Armor the third choice, I'll go with NCA.
