We (the OU room staff) will be hosting LIVE monthly teambuilding workshops in the OU Workshop room on PS!. These workshops are simply guided teambuilding exercises where we will work as a community to build around a certain core (sometimes for a certain playstyle). The goal here is to sort of teach by example; by building together live, we can show how we approach certain situations when building, how we handle certain threats, how we incorporate key aspects of teambuilding, how we try to maximize the efficiency of the build, and more. Please note: the teams are being built in 1-2 hours, so they aren't gonna be perfect. The main point of these workshops is to show the building processes... NOT build and give a free team. Just like with (almost) every team, these will have to be tested to find more weaknesses and ways to deal with said weaknesses. For the most part, these workshops are geared towards beginner to intermediate level players, but higher level players are also encouraged to participate!

How it works:
Modchat + will be on to start, but it'll be turned off periodically so those participating can... participate. We want you guys to ask questions, give suggestions, and just plain build! Before we turn modchat off, we'll pose a question or a potential Pokemon for the team for you guys to comment on. Don't worry, modchat will be off for the majority of these workshops. It's just way to difficult to try and keep the chat SUPER on topic while also hosting one of these, so turning modchat on and off periodically helps things flow smoothly.
Please feel free to suggest a Pokemon or a core (2-3 Pokemon) for us to build around! Make sure you include sets, and don't suggest anything too absurd. These are mostly geared towards beginners and intermediates, so we want something that's at least a little standard. The hosts will pick a handful of suggestions and put them in a strawpoll so those participating can vote on what we build around. Obviously not every suggestion will be in this strawpoll, so don't feel bad if yours wasn't picked! n_n
Where and when will this happen?:
As previously stated, these workshops will be hosted by a few OU staff members in the OU Workshop room. This room is hidden, but it can be accessed by clicking the above link, clicking the "Join OU Workshop!" button in the OU room's roomintro, or by simply typing "/join ouworkshop" in the PS! chat. PS! is much more accessible than IRC, and we have our own room for this, meaning we will be able to easily keep everything in check.
As of right now, we're gonna host these once a month. We will try to post a date and a strawpoll for what we're building around a week before the workshop. Please keep in mind: some of us have lives. If something comes up, or we're low on hosts for whatever reason, these may get pushed back a day or two.
Additional info:
Currently, we host these workshops 2-3 times every 2 weeks or so. These are usually announced in OU room ~12-24 hours before they'll start, so if you're an OU room regular, be on the look out for those! As time goes on, we'll try to approach some people about guest hosting, but for now it's just OU staff. If you have any questions about this project, feel free to PM or VM me.
