    hello I have a pretty complicated case about someone ddosing me during ladder games. I fully understand that it's pretty difficult to do something like that without you detecting it, but i've dc'd twice in the past 2 days while ive been battling the same player for short periods of time and reconnecting as soon as i lose to timer.

    my connection was spot on for the rest of the day and is spot on today after it happened again so im tripping out. Everyone ive talked to agrees it's suspicious so id thought id run it by you and ive run it by a global mod as well. if u can look into this i'd appreciate it

    That sucks. I'm not sure if there's anything we as staff can do about it, though.

    Hello, i'm just wondering where the idea of a game limit stands, which is to say, what happens when a game unrealistically goes on forever - 5000 turns, 10 hours, etc. As it stands, a stall vs stall matchup is an endless cycle between 2 Regenerator pokemon, which even with maximum hazards on the board is a stalemate.
    Machiavelli
    The only way for a stall vs stall matchup to end is through braindead mistakes or a win condition (set up pokemon, for example). This is true for almost all tiers, as almost all tiers have good defensive Regenerator pokemon, but particularly the lower tiers, whose power does not match the defense, unlike in ubers.
    Machiavelli
    I'm not going to present any debate, I'm just curious after looking at the policy review threads, who would "need to make a decision about this" as you wanted? Right now it is not being discussed to my knowledge, and something desperately needs to be done as it is a fairly common conundrum even outside of stall, and has happened to me twice over the course of a week. I do not think "bring a setup pokemon on stall" is a good response, I think this is a bigger problem that needs to result in some limit on the length of games.

    The consensus among OU tournament players is that it's a good thing for it to go on forever, and that I'm not allowed to change that.
    Serapis
    Eevee General referred me to you; I'm checking back in to see if I can get the "Serapis" showdown account. I tried a few years back through the badge shop (at the time I had the Tutor and Team Rater badges), and at the time I was told to check back in later.

    ...PM me. Or did you want me to post your password reset link in public here?

    Hi, I'm sure you're pretty busy as of late so apologies for bothering you with this but is there any chance the badge shop is coming back?

    One day!

    nice :) keep up the good work
    i received a ip ban and it said it will expire in a few days but it has been over a week and i think it might have been 2 weeks now and it still hasn't gone away

    You need more activity on PS

    alright thanks :)

    Sorry you must be busy, just wanted to know if your servers added some sort of IP banlist or something. Had to use a VPN to connect to smogon/PS today no clue why I can't connect anymore. I assume its my countries internet policy (turkey, istanbul) but just wanted to be sure. Have a good day!
    Zarel
    Zarel
    We ban Tor exit nodes and a few other high-risk proxies. Nothing else iirc. Did you get an error message?
    Killintime
    Killintime
    Nah, just says "couldn't connect to server". Guess its on my end then.
    I'm only this persistent because we made a deal and throughout I have been honest, u feel like I've been hard done by
    Zarel
    Zarel
    We made a deal and then you repeatedly broke it.
    hi. im pretty sure that there is a hacker. i just battled him and he one shotted all my pokemon and it was the shuckle strat. his name is (Gausac). file:///Users/student/Downloads/Gen7AnythingGoes-2017-10-13-rccy-gausac.html. that is the replay and you can see that he ohko all my pokemon. pls look into this for me. tks
    Zarel
    Zarel
    There's no such thing as a hacker. Also that's a file on your computer, I can't see it. You didn't upload a replay? Upload that file somewhere.

    I thought of something that would be a cool feature to have on ps. What if there was a "replay" option. I'm talking about like redoing a battle after a Disconnection on a 3ds or on PS!, and going through to redo it would be too much, like making a crit, or having a move miss, etc. if you would make this, it would make like redoing match more fair and much easier. If you are interested, pm me for more on it
    avocado
    is it possible to get the avocado name on PS? made a post in the request forum in mid july but no response yet :o
    Zarel
    Zarel
    Arikado? You got a name change?
    Zarel
    Zarel
    I'd give it to you at this point yeah.
    Theorymon
    Silly question, but I was told by some Flying Press people that you know some Japanese. If you do, would you be able to do some really rough translations for an article of mine? The usual people I ask are busy so its sorta made my article come to a stand still lol.

    I understand if you're too busy though (or if they got the wrong guy), just figured it wouldn't hurt asking!
    Zarel
    Zarel
    "Really rough"? I can do translations of words and sentences and like maybe one paragraph. An entire article is _way_ too much work for me.

    my girlfriend said she left me for a dude name zarel and now here I am, ready to fight you. I will make Yuyuko proud.

    No girls have approached me recently, so clearly you're thinking of the wrong Zarel.

    Heya!
    I saw that you have already related this in your Github, so I'm here just to ask about how a priority is Multi Battle?
    At the risk of being rude, any plans for coming this year?
    Zarel
    Zarel
    So many people are asking about it. I guess I'll move it up in priority.
    EnzoLapras
    Hey Zarel,
    Do you think it would be possible to do highlights for one room only rather than for all rooms? for example it could highlight tiers in helprooms so that people who know the tiers well can see it easier.
    Thanks!

    Edit: Found the Suggestions thread, so posted there as well

    Have a thousand turn rule in tour matches and a 15 double switch rule in ladder matches if possible
    Zarel
    Zarel
    And what about ladder tournaments?

    Actually the time change seems like a good idea but I found this is the tiering philosophy, you guys should abide by it out update it:
    Assumptions in Tiering Policy:

    I.) We play, to the best of our simulator's capabilities, with the mechanics given to us on the cartridge.
    A.) The ONLY exception to this is Sleep Clause.
    So then make the game timer an hour or remove this clause

    Excuse me, but do you mind if I bump the Generic Sprite Project? I have a battle sprite for the Field group ready.
