  • Hello there Finch,
    I am currently playing in the bw cup round 4, but i have no opponent thus far. Is there any amount of time i have to wait to have an opponent? Or is it that battles from previous rounds haven't been played yet and my opponent will be one of those. Thanks before hand :)

    Yo, it's unlikely that I'll be needed, but I put in a sub post a week ago (page 12) for BW cup and it doesn't seem like I'm in the OP!

    yea, i stopped adding subs at a certain date knowing that if more were needed i would go through the pages and add them. unfortunately, we do not need more subs as we cannot sub people in so close to the deadline and before that point we were not quite finished with the subs in the OP

    No problem!

    Can we just ban Arena Trap and Shadow Tag at the start of each gen next time? It's been the same song and dance for 4 gens straight now; trapping is unhealthy for the OU metagame. I'm glad we got rid of it early but we shouldn't have to deal with it again when gen 9 drops.

    Talking about generation 9 when we are barely into generation 8 simply does nothing. That’s a judgement call for a later point in time. I don’t know if I will even still be in charge come then

    hi finchinator! I heard that you are a strong player, I challenge you to battle! let's see which of us is stronger!

    So what'd be a good thread to ask why stuff like arena trap was ever allowed in OU in the first place?

    That does not really require a thread. Questions in general go in the SQSA, but that really is not a question that warrants much of an elaborate answer. You cannot ban things that have been just borderline/controversial historically when a whole new generation comes up.

    The initial banlist is historically conservative and the tiering process is there to weed out things like Arena Trap if they are proven banworthy, which is likely to be the case.

    Yeah that's what I meant by finding a good thread for it, but seems as if you mistook it for "what type of thread is these types of questions to be made for and where do I make it?". So sorry you misunderstood. But anyways, thanks for answering my question. I'll keep stuff like this in mind next time I have any questions on the OU metagame.

    Don't bother with Orifice Annihilator, from his username and his behavior in the suspect thread it's clear he is only here to troll and waste people's time.

    That's why I gave him the trolling infraction and told him not to post in the thread anymore. Bothering with trolls is part of my job as moderator. Someone has to prevent the threads from derailing.

    What I meant was he probably deserved a Malicious Account infraction.

    Probably, but we cannot hand those out liberally as there's no proof of him being an alt and there's not enough evidence to ban without prior warning.

    Hi Finch, big fan, here to schedule for POWC. As I'm still forced to work full-time, I'd prefer playing on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I'm GMT+1, so we're 5 hours apart, should be doable! I'd be available from ~7:30 PM my time on those days until late into the night :)

    if you want to play early, feel free to message me on discord (Finchinator#4129) or on SmogTours (Finchinator). If not, the scheduled time later works as well!
