Yeah, the table works like that. It looked neater when I previewed it, then the borders went away. The idea is to have all the different types of matchups (neatly organized into those four groups) simply listed in a table for easy reference, rather than having to wade through a checks and counters paragraph to figure out what a Pokemon matches up well against or is countered by. Granted, there's less room for fluidity in describing the matchups, but I feel that beginners kinda just need to know the whos whats and wheres to get started whereas the advanced topics section can carry more detailed information about key matchups.
I guess having only one matchups table instead of repeating it for each set is ideal, too, as things can get kinda confusing if there's like three different matchup tables for Snorlax. Multiple notes simply need to be made if different sets or slashes are countered by way different things.

I think that in extreme cases such as Snorlax variations, it's more or less necessary to have different tables. AmnesiaTankLax with STAB is super walled by Gengar, regular sets not so much. Same with Lapras and Chansey variants without Thunderbolt.

Actually I might not spearhead this after all. Sorry for the flakeyness, I had somehow forgotten while writing this up that I moved to Chicago for graduate school and I probably won't have the time once the term starts.

Hah. Allowing guests to write in the chatbox is a success, as is the tournament so far.
Jorgen; Posthuman - are you joining?
edit: an hour after I post this GGFan appears again in the chatbox...but it's ok.

Daaaahhh I know it'll seem weird without one of the mods in the tournament, but I really don't want to commit to playing in another tournament right now. In the future when I have a better sense for my schedule I'll probably join whatever tournaments happen.

With GGFan in the tournament, we have an unpredictable tournament ahead of us, no doubt. Hoping for the best!

I didn't even invite all of the newcomers, some just appeared...but most are my friends from Pokemon Online. ABR is on my Pokemon Online Champions League team, same with Pokebasket, Triangles is a good ADV player that also plays RBY, Golden Gyarados is a decent RBY player...

Had another talk with GGFan. Told him to stop spamming the chatbox and I think I made the message come through. Then he started being obnoxious again and whatnot, oh well.

Oh well. What to do about his silly memoir thread though? I let it slide when I first saw it because it's in off-topic so it's w/e (plus I sorta kinda cbf to actually moderate, pfft), but it's really kind of an awful thread.

His memoir thread is fine. I'll send him something about chatbox spamming--he's never hated me.
edit: lol never mind I didn't see the last 2 posts in that thread. We don't need to kill the whole thing though.

I realize that I'm one of the people holding the tournament back, but I like that you're stricter with everyone than Icy was.

I still feel like crap about replacing people, and it frustrates me that one side of the tournament was done weeks ago whereas the other has barely started. >_<
By the look of things I'll replace LucasBM with Dre, unless Lucas pops up and says "hey I still wanna be in this".

Soooo there's a thread in Inside Scoop on Smogon about SPL and people are coming out of the woodwork to deny RBY a slot. The reason is basically "lolcoinflip" and to make more room for BW lower tier slots. Silliness.
There was some hullabaloo about this last year, too, but with XY coming around and being too young to have a legitimate UU tier, I feel like it has a bigger push this time around.

Do you need special access to see the forum in question?

Yes. Fortunately more people are coming out to defend it (myself included), although nixing RBY still seems pretty popular.

Yeah I'd say to just get rid of anonymous chatbox posts at this point, it's more headache than it's worth really. Only GGFan has been using it to be weird.
EDIT: I just purged the cbox of a ton of posts because it's just getting ridiculous now. Murder anonymous posting when you get the chance, mkay?

The only thing that I can understand there is using Counter vs. Zapdos, believing that it'll counter Drill Peck. The rest is just beyond me.
Paralysis soaker Tauros? Earthquake soaker Gengar? Dragonite the Gengar counter??

Jorgen, do you have any thoughts about the RBY stream thingie? You're quieter than I thought you'd be.
