Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Jarn never said that we were starting right on December 1st, it's probably just a warning date so that people can't go "you never said I had to be done by this point I was busy doing other things D:"

I dunno. Give it more time than that. Hell, you're holding this when GSDS comes out, guys. That's a definite idiot move. What? Competition? Who cares, I forfeit. Mama needs a new staff for Karis!

Latias is already banned in the second one already, and in the first one, there are more powerful stuff running around >_>

Unless that's a gripe on Smogon.

This is a point that I had forgotten, and I too will be playing Dark Dawn when it comes out.

The time was chosen because it would line up with people's breaks. However, if the month of January is a better time…

I'll speak to Jarn about it.

EDIT: There is no rule against using a team of Woopers in Tourney 3. Just know that a team of Woopers PROBABLY won't be able to win a single match in that tourney, due to it's more highly competitive nature.

Remember that the first two tourneys are more like a Round Robin night at a Tennis club: they're for fun, not as much competition. This is the main reason that we're being a bit stickly on haxx strategies.

...I suggest waiving the "only one of each" restriction on a team full of woopers. Because I would love to battle against that.

I fully support the banning of Soul Dew [as Soul dew Latis are ubers according to the official rules], but I didn't see anything saying it was banned.
*Shrugs*
Meh. I rarely use Latias anyway.

That's true.

Assuming that Jarn will agree (and I have full say on Tourney 3's restrictions, Soul Dew should be a bannable item.

I will talk to Jarn about teams of all one species, as opposed to multiples of the same species, and probably with the restriction of being non-legendary, non-fully evolved. One of us will report back soon.

Both Latias and Latios are ubers regardless of whether they have sould dew or not. So this really is a moot point.

And regarding my Skarmory comment: Do you really think if I whirlwinded half an opponent's team to death in the casual tourney that I wouldn't be accused of breaking the rules?

All accusations will be taken up with an abuse report committee, composed of Jarn, myself, and a few others who are yet unnamed (sign-ups by PM). In the case of a battle within which Jarn or I are involved, we would not stand for the committee.

The use of a Whirlwind Skarmory is not necessarily abusive. Especially since you can't have Drill Peck on it. If it somehow had Drill Peck, we would be catching you for gamesharking. That said, Scouting is perfectly fine tactic, especially since Roar and Whirlwind are used beyond the metagame. It's when you start layering Party Roles and specific party functions made because you read up on them on Smogon University that we start to get into murky territory.

That's the other thing: Single Stage all party teams? Depends on a case-by-case basis. Obviously, there are really strong single-stage mons out there, while other ones are within an allowable range. Unown would be in the second category; Aerodactyl is in the first.

Yeah, that's what I meant, Latias is banned by Smogon rules *stares at Fate* so banning Soul Dew would be pointless.

And give the Temple more credit Gwydd ^_^ I doubt anyone here wpuld use strategies we "read off Smogon". I doubt anyone here would use them unless their experienced, and those who were should know enough to know it's a bad idea to use it on those who don't.

Latias and Latios are NOT ubers.
Please understand that the smogon tiers are fan made, and are not the official tiers.

I realise that, but we're playing by Smogon rules here, as it says in the OP >_>
