It's User of the Year, but with Pokemon! And, y'know, a modified format, to fit the bajillion entries. I could use help with votals!
-Rounds are posted whenever I get to them, daily-ish.

-No alt-voting
-No being a jerk
-No deleting posts, this will be enough of a headache to count already.
-No changing votes, see above.
-One Pokedex number, one entry. I believe that means you get Paradoxes, but not Megas, -maxes, regionals, and Formes. You are welcome to factor that into your vote, or not, however you wish.
-I will never vote, but I will serve as the final tiebreaker, including in seeding.
-If you're muted by Para, or me, or whoever else is counting votes that day, that's rough, buddy.

ROUND 1 RULES
-Give +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, and -3 to Pokemon however you see fit.
-There are two divisions per day to do this for.
-Please use the Easy Vote form.
-Bottom three scores per division are eliminated (most divisions, 7/10 survive, but there are a few 11-mon divisions that will send 8 through)
-However, the top 11 scores from 8th (or 9th, in the bigger divisions) place finishers will survive.
-Top 26 scoring winners will receive a bye next round.

I got a black belt almost 20 years ago, but have not maintained my skills (or my fitness) since then.

Wouldn't mind getting back into it, but lack time and money.

If it helps any (more), your voice is very calming and cute and very welcome on a sleepless 4am to try and relax

many are saying this

Eevee's one that I would expect to contend to win the whole thing, but +35 is not grand champion material I think

I hadn't thought of it that way but you're right!

I would never miss a day on this, my own project! ('s all good, I'm still just glad I ain't gotta do it myself >_>)

I thought the division winners got byes?

just the top 26 of em

also, Cubone probably getting the #1 rank for this round is extremely amusing to me

(....with the way seeding works, though, the wild card race is essentially for bragging rights >_> They'll get into round 2, but then get matched up against stuff that won divisions with scores in the mid +50s or thereabouts <_< so like picture two of those guys against a team of Snorlax and Growlithe)

We should be able to guarantee some 8th place survivors at this point, no?

Once we get results, yes. There are 12 untallied divisions and 11 spots, but some of those are finished if you just super want to count them yourself. The score to have a chance is -12.

Tangela -5
Thievul -7
Lickitung -9
Poltchageist -9
Lairon -10
Lillipup -10
Electrode -11
Hattrem -11
Tapu Lele -12
Sandy Shocks -12
Furfrou -12

Remember that for the second division and all future divisions, 9th place is the one that gets in the wildcard race, and 10th and 11th are eliminated outright!

so if you don't schedule the ads it'll do pre-rolls (everybody coming in has to watch ads at the start)
you can activate ads manually, it usually takes a sec but will keep the pre-rolls off anyway
you can also "snooze" the ads a limited number of times
but at the end of the day, you either run 3 minutes of ads an hour, one way or another, or pre-rolls happen
I don't THINK the stream display ads affect that, but I'm not sure

I THINK that's all correct but ads are weird and annoying

what I do is just set it to do 3m every hour, and then hang out on the starting screen while the first round plays.

Emotes, subs, channel points, iirc bits, and unfortunately ads

daggum you speedran that, nice

we don't have beef with the locals, we're just not really here for the purpose of interacting with em.

we want a place to talk about heavy topics with our friends. it's less about "CE bad" and more about "I want to talk with my friends, instead of random strangers that may or may not be cool"

I don't think anybody's saying otherwise?

XIII_Rocks posted...

If it's any consolation, the discussions I've seen regarding transphobia and what will be modded indicate a much tighter leash on anti-trans rhetoric than before with much harsher punishments for it.

That does reassure me a LITTLE, thanks

A lot of stuff like that, even with what I think are good intentions often, just winds up leaving minorities out in the cold. The authority wants everything to be comfortable and sanitary, and if you can't exist without challenging the status quo and making people uncomfortable, maybe you shouldn't be here. We make a round hole and ask the square pegs to fit through it.

Kenri posted...

The huge post, list of resources, and focus on how "everyone" must be accepted and that "heated discussion" must remain "civil" is a fairly obvious message to trans people to either make sure bigots feel comfortable or to leave. I fully believe they'll mod blatant transphobia but between the politics ban, removal of the Sexuality board, and the horrendous both-sidesing in the anti-transphobia post it's loud and clear that they're going to moderate trans people for making bigots uncomfortable much more harshly than the reverse.

I could be wrong but like. Look at what's going on and tell me you trust any of these fucking people.

Edit: to clarify why the post being large is a clue -- if they actually had an issue with transphobes, they'd just say "transphobes fuck off or get banned", you don't need to elaborate much.

all this. it's not the worst thing I've ever seen but I have veeeerrrry little faith it's gonna work out well for my peeps

I heard the Pepsi thing and the Weinstein thing separately through memes. I'm even more befuddled now that I know they were the same(?) analogy(?)

And yes, "intentionally vague" so you never know what can or will be modded.
