As no doubt all of us have noticed.

Brief explanation of what went down-- basically, as a site we were using too many of our hosts' resources and so they had to suspend us for a bit while we flipped some scripts around to make the site a bit more efficient. If we're lucky, this will also stop the 500 errors that we were getting but as of now it's not 100% certain that we're out of the woods. The settings I changed appear to have made the difference but there isn't really a way to test except for letting the traffic roll in again.

Tl;dr more errors might happen just be ready for that. Or they might not!


On a more positive note, the recent discussions about tier changes have been implemented on the server. I think there are still a couple of kinks to work out with it, but following this we're going to start sectioning out lower tiers for 6th gen and after some settling time may look at Blaziken for suspect.

For everyone's reference, these are the changes that were applied.

Ubers -> OU
Manaphy
Zygarde
Kyurem-B

OU -> Ubers
Mega Kangaskhan
Mega Gengar
Mega Blaziken
Mega Lucario
Genesect


And if we find that stuff doesn't work out, it can always be reversed, so no need to get in a tizzy about it~

Tizzy. That's a fun word. You know what else is fun? Spontaneously ending announcements bye!

Hi there, it's Kiozo coming in to add some stuff! Ame gave me permissions to spontaneously add <3

Anywho, for a little while now, I wanted to do three things. I'm only going to hint at what's to come, and we'll see how they develop. At least you know, so if we run into Host vs Process issues again, you know we do have things in development even while this is down!

So this is my task list I've been meaning to accomplish. I came up with some of this recently, but since I have been sick and the forums been down, I haven't been able to or motivated to start it. Since these things are past, I can and will start moving forward. I hope you all enjoy what you hear, and I hope to see you looking into these tasks as they materialize into actual engaging events! Thanks for tuning in, and thanks Ame for letting me type way too much and hijacking your post <3!

You can automatically set it to default you to that. When you load, it has you define what gen. Type 6G Overused. You should see it pop up as an option. It'll remember this option even if you need to reload that team.

Wifi Clause? I'd rather not know what's coming and have people know what's coming. I feel it adds another dynamic to making intelligent choices and also is more similar to the original way Pokémon used to be played. If it's default, I probably will stop trying to re-enter battling.

Glad to see the tier list changes in effect. I'll toss around some of the new OU ideas to see what's what.

My thoughts exactly. Though somewhat less prolific

I especially like the idea of a team based event, Kio. And I'd also be happy to assist if you need anything with organizing and stuff (not that I expect you do, but I always like to offer)

After reading the edited OP, I want to strongly object to any form of CAP system...Not that I think this objection will help...

I agree, This seems like it could lead to a complicated mess.

If you explained why, it might; in its present state that objection is pretty unhelpful, yeah.

Kiozo directly said that it will be taken seriously and I'm sure he has ideas to keep it from becoming a complicated mess, which is more than we can say for the last times we tried it.

Well, the amount of people that would agree to CAPs being used against them would probobly be low (after a couple of novelty matches), he implied that they might be used in Leauge (cause of mentioning Aya and an OP Poison legend) which kinda defeats the whole point. I have other complaints as well, but I don't have time to type them out right now.

I'm glad to hear that you're interested in both what's to come and how to help, and I'll keep it in mind! ^^ I'm not sure how many people I will have/need for this, acknowledging that Swimming and/or Nyu would be useful but outside of that it depends on how I'm handling it. I'll be vocal if/when I need help!

Also, I thought I made 6G OverUsed the default... at least that is what it was when I tested it recently.

Lately, it's been setting it to inverted. Not sure why. Better than CC? ><;

I do! The last few times were complicated, although I don't want to call them a mess per say, but yeah. It worked for the first one but not the second. So I have knowledge of what didn't work and can help that not be an issue! I suppose that would be something you'd have to have participated in or witnessed to know more about though.

I have other complaints as well, but I don't have time to type them out right now.

First to clarify, the Strong Legendary Poison type was in reference to the fact that Aya just doesn't have an actual Legend that is usable really. Not looking at Arceus. I meant it as a joke, and I don't have any hold over league minus maybe an opinion or something. Nothing I do with CAP would influence it, in any way. I promise you that.

Second, if a CAP was used, it would be used within it's specific environment. Much like an Uber being regarded to an Uber tier only, you can do the exact same thing with CAPs. These actually have had good impacts in other places, and people used to be pretty interested about the idea. But that is just it; 6G Overused will stay within Gamefreak's Pokémon set. Just like League, there will be a separation of CAP and what you have to work with now; it's going to be an addition, not a change, if you could think about it that way.

The idea of CAP isn't to create a novelty. It's to create something that feels truly unique and capable of doing something that is otherwise unachievable. On top of that, it also is to create something by the community for the community. When you add those aspects, people like using them and facing them, and unlike the current Pokémon, we can edit these to feel just right. There will be testing phases introduced to make sure everything is able to fit in properly while still standing out. I mean, heck. You have multiple people who met and came here from a CAP server...that has to mean something right? ^^

Lastly, it is surprisingly easy for me to make tiers. If you have any good ideas for tiers or scripting things, please PM me

Damnit Swimming. Don't take the tier thing from me. :P

I shall be listening, just in case ^^

On CAPs. I think having a system for doing it is a positive thing. It will help keep things organized, as long as it's not overly complex

I like the idea of having them have their separate area to be used, because having them in everyday battles feels sorta cheaty? IDK, I'm just uncomfortable with the concept. I wouldn't mind them in league, but I'd rather not

Really looking forward to seeing a CAP project pan out. I'm in favour of CAP having its own tiers because I have to admit the Smogon method of having a testing phase as well as free for all CAP environment is pretty cool. Just concerned though that whatever we create will wind up in the Reborn game to screw us over when we least expect it hahaha

Glad there's some positive responses coming in! I did address the separation in the previous post because I believe it's best, so yeah. I don't ever foresee anything entering League or the Reborn Game, or anything, but that's honestly not my call :P.
