A distant memory
Hello denizens of ASB,
Recently there has been CAP Movepools going on with a poll recently being shut down because of the way it has turned out. I have conversed with a CAP Moderator on the matter and I have been told that there had been talk about ASBers influencing the CAP Polls. I have been concerned about ASB influences on votes for a few years now (way back to Mollux) and only now had it come to a head with campaigning in the ASB chat occurring when there were CAP Moderators in the chat. This goes against CAP rules for campaigning and I am disgusted that this has happened in #capasb and has stalled their process.
From now on (This applies to #capasb, if you do not use the channel at all, then you do not have to do this):
I am not saying that ASBers should not vote in CAP Polls, just that they should not be sabotaging polls by getting a bunch of ASBers to vote for a specific attribute for ASB's benefit, and I do not want to go as far as remove CAP's/stop implementing new CAP's to stop this entirely.
CAP competitive polls should be voted on based on what is best for whatever metagame it is built for, not on what is best for ASB. Let's keep it that way in the future, okay?

Tagging Birkal so he knows about this and that if he has anything to add to this, please post it.

- There is to be no campaigning for a specific CAP attribute in #capasb to be enforced at all times. CAP's are designed with a specific metagame in mind and ASB is not that metagame. Let's keep it that way. If you do this and I find out, you will be banned from the chat without exceptions.
- Until further notice, discussion on CAP Voting is banned in #capasb. This may be lifted eventually but not now.
- Basically just do not talk about unconfirmed parts of the newest CAP to not get yourself banned. Yes we might be eventually get that CAP but again, we are not the intended metagame for CAP.
