Gosh...I almost hate to ask this as this will be the 4th CAP I participate in (but really the 3rd I've begun and finished), but I'm a little confused on these style bias votes. Where can I get some more information on them, so I can actually vote please?
 
hehe...I was just coming to delete my post because I started reading the thread you posted. Thank you for your help though!
 
Doug said a while ago that he lives in the path of Hurricane Ike.

He said that if his power goes down so will the server, I tried it and it is down for me as well, so we can only assume that the hurricane has taken out Doug's power.

I do not know how long it will be 'till his power is back up, check the news or something.... I just hope that he and the other people in the way are ok.
 
Most of the CAP regulars are hanging out at Captains Modded Server until the CAP server comes back up, and there are still some people at #CAP.
 
We discussed this on the cap server a while back and the answer from tennis I got is that we will have a thread on it sometime after platinum comes out.
 
Some things could be problems, like TG+Superpower or Superpower+Earth Power Syclant, Superpower Revenankh, Punches Revenankh, and Icy Wind Fidgit. We'll have a thread when it comes out in english.
 
I don't think any of those would be too strong..
TPunch Rev would rarely be used (but let it beat Gyra if it wanted to lose coverage against so much else.).
Superpower Revenankh... maybe a slash on the CB set at best?
TG+Superpower Syclant or Superpower+Earth Power would have to split EVs so not 2KO Bliss, or have weaker Sp Attacks.
I Don't know about Icy Wind Fidgit.. but we should not call broken on it at all..

Its more about what tutors should be available to the CaPs...
If we let them use Platinum, maybe they could use RSE/FRLG? You could argue that they are as much in DPP Pokemon as ADV (Note I think the counterarguement is better, will type it up in the thread when its ready.).

Me and my family are fine. but the power is out. i'm sending this from my cell phone. power may come back in an hour or it may be days. we have to wait and see. in the meantime, don't expect to see me much here. posting from my phone is a huge pain! cya soon
 
Well that's good! I hope that your power comes back soon and that other Houstonian Smogonites are okay as well. The Ike is now coming to visit me, but he doesn't seem as bad was expected.

Revvy will not get Punches. I conducted like 5 polls on that, and we said only Ice Punch. So only Ice Punch it is. You will have lots of angry people if you don't (I have at least two threads of voting to show that Fire Punch and Thunderpunch should not be on Revvy according to our process).

Exactly why I said it was a problem =P

It's not like we dropped them because of movepool limits, we dropped them because the majority did not want them. It should stay this way, since Revvy doesn't need a power boost, which is the only reason we should add competitive moves to movepools.

This applies to any tutor moves we original denied another CAPmon for power reasons (IMO). Flavor is a little more workable, since Tutors circumvent flavor.
 
How come Syclant gets Fire Fang and Thunder Fang but not Ice Fang?
lol.. Because for the first CaP the movepool thread was kind of chaotic, and there are quite a few odd things about it.
Tail Glow was in fact added after all voted had closed.

I don't think that Syclant's movepool is to powerful (Very few of its moves are competitive, it has the bare minimum to make a Choice set on both sides.) but it has simply too many unnecessary moves that do not really fit... and as you spotted it does have some moves it really should have missing.
 
Since this issue is somewhat minor, I don't think I really need to be posting some sort of policy review thread.
But I have some suggestions:
1-Could we have a bold vote poll for the final build bias poll? Because that way we could count everyone's first and second preferences. The most recent build bias poll had 'Very Good' come out the victor, and the people who voted for 'Quite Good,' I believe it's safe to assume, will vote for 'Very Good' in the next poll as it's more similar to 'Quite Good' than 'Very Good.'
Not that anyone did complain, but I think that logic should be established so we can avoid such complaints in the future.
2-For the stat spread submissions, would it be too much to have the stat spreaders make a few stat spreads based on the leading Build Biases? Like, one for each? That way we don't have to wait 24 hours after the final Bias poll for the spreaders to be done. And I'm not criticizing what any TL's have done before, in fact I like how fast Tennis has been with this project.
I just want to know if it'd be ok to "firmly establish" these suggestions if they weren't already.

If you're talking about this project, that was the final poll.

So have three ready? Thats actually a pretty good idea, and isn't too much to ask.
 
Oh, I realize that was the final poll.
I'm glad you called it when you did instead of creating another poll merely because Excellent started getting votes in the end.
But I meant for next time, so we clearly have a winner because of the numbers.
I'd love to use that logic I already posted about how 'Very Good' was the clear winner, but some people will still believe that 'Excellent' has some sort of chance to win.
So by voting for all three options in order of preference, I think that would give a clear and final view of which BSR we go with.
