  1. Abyssal is fine. I see. If this is just for fun, then nevermind. Go nuts. Although I still stand by the fact that ADC Kennen is only for people who hate themselves.
  2. FOUL. Where Hoopa and Volcanion at?
  3. While Nashoor's Tooth wouldn't be terrible, I don't think it's optimal compared to a utility-AP build. Look for items that both contribute to Kennen's survivability and give him AP, because his ult, E and to a point W necessitate that he be in the fray. Zhonya's, WotA, Rylai's are all good options here.
  4. Apparently Void's in charge of that, so take it up with him, and you guys can talk to Roo/Kio/etc about Nations timing
  5. I have never said this. I have said the opposite. Tacos is correct, it's one giant awful coincidence Like, we have a character named Titania with a red/silver color theme who wears knight armor, uses a sword, and is associated with 'Fiore' and fairy tales. How can that possibly all be a coincidence? I don't know but it is. I have never seen, nor read any part of Fairy Tail in my life. I only know of these things from people telling me about Ezra. So for one thing, fml.
  6. Sorry, I did fail to specify the donation/ace thing is not retroactive.
  7. Happy daybirth. Even though we don't talk, I appreciate you, and specifically that there is someone else around who is willing to run Mafia games. I tried to get some of these guys before to do it and yeesh it was not happening.
  8. This really is a sort of sequel to the things I talked about in this post, so if you haven't already, go read that. In continuing to review our discipline policy, we've decided to take a step we have not taken before and merge the forum and server disciplinary actions. That sounds weird, what does it mean? Well, for instance, if you get banned on the server you get banned in real life from the forum too. Pretty sensible, but we haven't done it before. Showdown's registered names makes this a bit easier, so we're going for it. We are not applying this retro-actively. In tandem with that, as a moderator team we've found warning points to be really helpful. Those on the receiving end of them may not agree, but that's how it is. Besides, remember they do go away after a time- picking up one or two is no big deal, just don't repeat-offend. Anyway, we have decided to also use the forum warning system to track and communicate server-based offenses. These will work the same way as forum ones, but in general minor server-based offenses will go away sooner than forum ones. There's also no point value for chatspeak and non-english chat on the server because although we do actively discourage that, we're not about to ban people for it. These items still have points on the forum because this is a persisting media and should be cleaner than the server. So with the server in the mix, we've adjusted our scale for consequences: 1: The user is no longer eligible for Voice. 2: The user loses voice status. 3: The user loses Ace status and is no longer eligible to buy it. 5: The user is put on a 30-day post preview. 7: The user is locked on the server until they fall below 7 points. 10: The user is banned from the server and forum. Regarding locked users coming down to below 7 points, it will be their responsibility to ask a server mod to be unlocked. As an unrelated note, speaking of Ace Membership, we will no longer be automatically giving Ace Status to donating users. Since Ace has become harder to get, it feels wrong for the easiest way to get it to be with real money. Plus, let's face it, donating users still get a butt-load of $R (which is nice now that it actually has a use) so it's not like they can't buy it when the time comes. Anyway, that's the ugly stuff out of the way. Let's get onto some lighter news: The site shop has been cleaned up quite a bit. Defunct items have been removed, remaining items have been updated in price, stock and a couple other ways, and they don't show broken images now. Which is, you know, nice. There's also a new item in the Site Shop for owners of Showdown Chat-rooms that can be used to set or update the description of your room. Your description must be appropriate, and only a room owner can use it for their own room. The item is fairly cheap and I've bolstered the initial stock, so everyone can hop on that now. Finally, as everyone has noticed, the forum index has been cleaned up a bit. The PRCL and PZA boards have been hidden until they're active again (Pokenations survives due to it returning soon). The Jubilife and Fan Club forums have merged (because to be quite frank I could not tell you the difference between them anymore and that seemed like a problem...), some forums have been squished to sub-forums, and perhaps most excitingly... Following up on the poll, we are now hosting Creative Writing and Sports forums. The CW forum is pretty set, however the survival of the sports forum is tentative on its consistent activity, so if this is something you care about, prove it by continuing to participate there. Happy posting, everyone!
  9. Incidentally, what almost happened to Cain when Terra first appeared?
  10. I own this place and I didn't know that. Carry on.
  11. Even if CW is just a sub-forum we can additionally set specific moderation for it.
  12. Preview issue should be corrected. Currently still working on converting the import for Showdown. That's not happening for a while, so continue to use PO Exports if you have them; sorry. Type Result page fixed.
  13. Delete button should be fixed now This is true, but... it won't really matter anymore.
  14. We fixed our image generators. Some context for newer members: Early this year we were forced to change hosts, and in doing so a large part of our site's functionality broke. Around the same time, we lost our magical scripting friend Nyunyu (who made that stuff, including the Trainer Card creator, the Sprite Shop, the What Type Are You Quiz image generator, and more) to the throes of reality, and so we were left high and dry with no way to repair them. Well, we just did, finally, with particular thanks to the member BlackKat6 who got us started on that. As of now, all image generators appear to be functioning properly, so the Card Creator, Type Quiz, and Sprite Shop are all, once again, open for business. If you haven't been around since the Card Creator and Sprite Shop were things, I invite you to try them out. The Card Creator does accept exports from PO (maybe not Showdown yet?) but there may be some kinks, especially with newer content. Also, please note that you must have a Trainer Card before making a sprite or it will not save. Those stipulations aside, I can't help but think the Sprite Shop is the perfect thing to create an avatar for use on the Showdown Server. Speaking of the Showdown server, what's up? Well, Showdown itself had a bug and had to roll back their files to the past month, which was before we joined up. Therefore, they lost all of our registration stuff (i.e the reborn.psim.us URL) and here we are. They also aren't accepting registrations currently, presumably due to that bug, so we are currently waiting for them to resolve that scenario so we can get back in. Nonetheless, the sidebar Showdown links do work, and all custom avatars will return once we get the URL back. As a final note, those of you who were around just before the sprite shop bailed out might remember the Sprite Item Request Items. I have all previous requests back-logged and can now begin working on them over time. Once they are all completed, those items will be re-enabled so new items can be produced for the store. It's good to be back. (No, this does not mean League is returning.)
  15. better yet let's just fix the image generators so that this whole trainer card thing can be a thing again
  16. As a confirmation, I did okay this topic.
  17. Nothing like a little holiday despair, you know? <3

      What color are showdown inks? c:

  19. This actually isn't a "temporary server". It's a temporary URL. The server is the same
  20. as renzo said, sandy was an april fool's joke. season 2 leaders were revealed a bit at a time, one part being the silhouette of their battle sprite. when the ground leader was being revealed we made sandy based on terra's silhouette as a gag and pretended she was the real ground leader. then suddenly poof, terra.
  21. Correct, so unfortunately she can't have a pokemon named after the player :c Otherwise she would Also correct in tandem with Myst's addition.
  22. #ace member perks or something idfk
  23. This is indeed the problem, otherwise she totally would have one for the player. Sad day for player :c
  24. well. i appear to have been automatically banned from our own showdown server. swell.
