    Challenge The Draft Challenge

    The Draft Challenge I'll keep this short and sweet, I promise. What's a Draft Challenge? "Challenge" is a bit of a misnomer, I guess. In the Draft Challenge, you and a few other people form a group and choose a game to play on. Then, you make a list of all the evolutionary lines available...

    Great Idea Mafia-Postgame & Setup Discussion

    hopefully still approved by askaninjask based on a mafiascum setup game thread Wow, what a game this was to host. The idea for this mafia game came several months ago, in late 2013. I was surfing my favorite resource for mafia, mafiascum's wiki (although they're NOC focused and have no...

    Role Feedback and Theorycrafting Thread

    When I host games, I tend to really like basing them around flavor and designing factions and roles based on flavor. Most of the time, it comes out a little unbalanced, and I have to pull myself back. Sometimes, I come up with a role that just sounds SO COOL in my head, and perfectly fits the...

    NOC Great Idea Mafia-Game Over! Mafia, vonFiedler, and More Cowbell win!

    approved by askaninjask based on this mafiascum game 0900 hours Aboard the Starship Heart of Gold Arthur Dent sat in a chair next to the Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser, as he had been for quite some time. The floor around the rather average British man was covered in crushed Styrofoam cups and a...

    NOC Great Idea NOC Mafia: Smogon Edition (Signups)

    approved by askaninjask based on this mafiascum setup It's mafia. What else do you need? 0. shinyskarmory is your host, and the RNG is your god. I have the right to resolve any disputes that may arise in any way I see fit. 0. This game is No Outside Communication. That means you may not...

    Deep Metagross: A Pre-Bank OU team (peaked 1700)

    Hi, I’m shinyskarmory. I’ve been a member of Smogon for around 3 years, but this is only the second time I’ve dabbled with serious competitive battling. I played Generation 4 for a bit but was never very good, and in Generation 5 I outright ragequit after I played against the same damn rain team...

    Postgame Twilight Princess NOC-Postgame

    Approved by billymills So this was my second game as a host, and my first NOC. I can't speak for More Cowbell (he'll speak for himself a bit in this post, and probably some more later), but I feel that my previous effort (PMD mafia) was better balanced, although this game certainly had a closer...

    Community Service

    Not sure if this deserves a serious tag or not, maybe it's halfway in between. Right now I'm sitting on a bus getting ready to go to my school's new yearly event. It's essentially a community service event where they load us onto busses and send us to essentially do unpaid work for a day, with...

    Is there an effective way to break the village leader system?

    I've been thinking about this for a while, and I think I've come up with a few solutions other then just playing NOC all the time (which does work but we're getting a little over saturated at this point). I wanted to post them here because with my current dubious status as a mafia host they're...

    Twilight Princess NOC-Signups

    approved by billymills Dark times have fallen upon the kingdom of Hyrule. The once-beautiful fields have been clouded by a dark Twilight - rumour has it Ganondorf, the villain who has harassed Hyrule before, has something to do with it. The Hylians won't stand for this...

    Cloud Nine: Anti-Weather Discussion

    Instant weather. It's impossible to avoid in OU. Whether it's Politoed with Rain, Tyranitar and Hippowdon with Sand, Ninetales with Sun, or Abomasnow with Hail (lol), 45 percent of all OU teams run some form of instant weather. If only players above the rank 1337 are counted, 71 PERCENT of teams...

    PMD Mafia Postgame

    Welcome to the PMD Mafia Postgame! Just a quick warning, this is extremely TL;DR, so read at your own peril. But I'm just finally glad to get this done. Z.E.R.G. First, before all the claims that “OMG the D.A.D was broken WTF WTF WTF”, they deserve props for (honestly) moling the Z.E.R.G. to...

    Mind over Matter: Dummy 007 vs Leethoof in the Hoenn Battle Arena

    Time for me to flex my reffing muscles, it's been a few months since I reffed a match without someone getting DQed. And look, here's our competitors entering the Stadium. Today in the Arena we have Dummy 007 the MI6 agent Grass type gym hopeful against L33Th00f, the Bastiodon lover! What...

    Torterra [GP 0/2] [STILL NOT READY FOR GP]

    [Overview] <p>Torterra, one of the better pokemon in UU in 4th gen, experienced a long fall to rock bottom with the release of Black and White. However, Torterra is very usable in RU, mainly because of its 95-105-85 defenses, access to boosting moves including Rock Polish, Swords Dance, Curse...

    Lord Jesseus vs. Arcanite in the Alphabet Soup (ShinySkarmory refs)

    ShinySkarmory, recovered from his nervewracking reffing at the Burning Place, drove up to the magnificient tower where his next reffing was to take place. Apparently, it was the Realgam Tower, where years before it was built as a front for Cipher to give out Shadow Pokemon. Now that Cipher's...

    Albinoloon vs. Fire Blast at the Bleeding Place! (shinyskarmory refs)

    ShinySkarmory walked slowly towards the burning lake, filled with apprehension. Appearances aren't always the safest way to judge, but this place was as hellish and dangerous as it looked in the pictures. The "arena", in the broadest sense of the word, was a small platform in the middle of a sea...

    Excadrill Fodder: B/W OU RMT (Peaked at 1128)

    Welcome to my second serious RMT. I've always loved flexible, offensive battling, and this team is no exception to my philosophy. When I first used this team, my main account (ShinySkarmory) was ranked near the bottom of the rankings with an 826 ranking due to numerous failed teams. Within a day...
