Yay holidays! Alright first thing if you don't know is that PO will be releasing RBY on Christmas day! The staff here have been playing privately with a test release for a short bit to try and speed up the public release, so yay.
Now, since PO is under Stadium mechanics, the current tournament hosted by Redemption should probably be finished on Netbattle, but there may be no servers left shortly, so I may just cancel it instead, especially since nobody's doing it lol. Also, there still won't be any official tournament until PO is more stable and Plus is balanced. If anyone wants to host their own, unofficial tournaments, go right ahead.
But on the topic of tournaments, the PO community is hosting one for RBY, but unlike traditional tournaments with eliminations and everyone on their own, it will be teams and we've been invited to join them. Since teams are of eight, we'll try to get all of our best players on it. I'm thinking, me, WaterWizard, Zilch, Posthuman, Isa, Nerd (?), GGFan (?), Garrin Red, Crystal, Consumptus. Again though, this is under Stadium mechanics so make sure to study up on the effects of Substitute, Focus Energy, secondary effects (Bubblebeam, Acid, etc), and Sleep. I can do a write-up about changes and the metagame if our players need it.
Also mind you, we may need subs for our team, so don't be shy to sign-up even if you're at an intermediate level. We can always do some quick training, and WaterWizard and myself will be working to get back into shape for RBY.
And on the topic of RBYPlus, I've already tested this a bunch with previous versions and there seems to be no problem. I'll be working on it when I can, and try to get it out as soon as possible. Since it will need to be played using a private server and a whole separate installation, I'll make a user-friendly guide into setting it up.
And finally, I'll finish the last of the cleaning up here by archiving some old stuff, adding sub-boards for RBYPlus once it's online, and some other tidying up.
Get psyched!
