Chou Toshio

Thanks buddy :D

Skill based is a good way to put and avoids the tendency these days to throw "competitive" around as a general buzz word for "something good" which means nothing in the context it's often used. oh, and I'd also suggest that as well as letting the players sort out their own metagames they should start off with a base philosophy for it, like LC's base ruleset which I made for said metagame. It can be overruled by votes, but is generally not to be questioned unless there is severely exceptional reason to do so (some people thought Rotom formes/evolution counted as this and we held a vote, rotom lost). Ubers base philosophy is likely to be no bans, or at least no Pokemon bans (though I could be wrong, depending on what the players want), and this could only be questioned if something utterly beyond reason comes up (which Arceus may, but is a long way from being that from what I've seen). Oh, and to clarify, I don't mean Smogon's PO. The standard PO server has Ubers as a no bans land.

that's a shiny badge

Excellent post in PR, sorry not to be able to be throwing walls of text in right now. You're covering most of my thoughts at least :). One thing I'd like to ask, please consider your definition of "competitive" and increasing the competitiveness of a metagame carefully, and read this post. Also note that PO is currently not banning moves (OHKO or Evasion) from Ubers on the main server.

Realest nigga on the site imo. I would shoot myself if i didnt see ur post in PR.

Heh, if crappy one-liners is all I got from that last post, I must be doing a pretty epic job. I posted up a bit of the article in AW.

Hey Chou,

About 'option b' for the smog. I'd be happy to try and help in any way I can, but could you please explain to me in a little further depth as I'm still a little unsure of exactly what you mean.

also a merry (belated) christmas too you ^^

I just saw this post and gained so much respect for you.

man your avatar STOLE MY FUCKIN GIMMICK MAN

ps i like avenue su !_!

Props on the new avatar!

Haha thanks man.

:)

congrats on the smog badge!

woah gratz on the badge my friend!

man do you think I should do an article this month
and what should I do man just post in the thread saying that I'm doing it ?.?

Congratz on the badge ^.^

Congrats on the second badge!

Of course, of course.
I just thought of the idea of "I don't know much about art, but even I can tell this sucks!" and such comments somewhat amusing.

plus i really liked those little avatar/representations of each user.

I don't have much to do with Smeargle's at all, I would be afraid to say; Kinny is the better choice, I just thought perhaps having someone with a non-artistic but slightly comical view would add an interesting element.

Well deserved.

I would love to join the judging panel :D

Congrats, Chou!

hey man, I was wondering, since Alchemator is leaving, could I help with your Art Judging panel article for the Smog? I may not be much of an artist myself, but I can certainly criticize on what's good or bad ;D

congrats :)

Same to you, buddy.
Let's go for the top!
