Shanco

Oh. Well shit.

The only reason that I can think of for doing this is crime reduction, and it's an interesting way to go about it. It's probably keeping you in touch with people in power so that: They can more easily identify you and your actions if you do anything against the law People in power themselves can assure you that the government genuinely cares about its citizens If there you have an idea that the government should listen to, you now have direct connections I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them However, I'm not going to pretend like I know what I'm talking about. I've heard about CCW-like programs, but the government in Canada does not make them mandatory.

Banned for wrecking my eyes as I try to see what the hell you've written.

You were in the right, for sure. Shoulda just signalled the jungler to back away from Vayne (maybe that's what you did), in order to not risk losing those buffs. EDIT: People don't really pay attention to pings when they smell blood, do they? That feel when, since Ashe is now free for this week, I feel strongly obligated to defend the honor of the Freljordian Queen against all these noobish summoners.

The rest of your team should be worshipping Akali. She carried that team, as much as you would probaly like to take the credit. EDIT: Ashe with 12 kills in a 53-minute match? Pathetic.

Your friendly neighborhood Shanco is back for the first RMT in ages, and he's been longing to do one. We call it "Multiculture", after the wide array of functions and strengths each Pokemon brings to the table. Why don't we give it a look: M u l t i c u l t u r e Did I look like I was kidding about the multicultural part? Aw hell no! But without further ado, let's get to the team. @ Light Clay Trait: Heatproof EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 100 Def / 152 SDef Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd) - Reflect - Light Screen - Gyro Ball - Stealth Rock The Zonger acts as my hazard setter. Bring things in and erase their sashes and Sturdy. It also provides dual screen support, allowing another Pokemon to set up. Gyro Ball lets it come in on Weavile and destroy it. Heatproof allows it to serve its purpose in the line of Fire (yeah, I just went there!), while most poor souls are thinking it is levitating. @ Damp Rock Trait: Unaware EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Recover - Toxic - Rain Dance Somewhere between a supporter and staller, Quagsire has proven to be a very reliable team component. Only two usable Pokemon in BL are immune to both Toxic and Earthquake, and both of them are killed by other members of my team. Rain Dance can jack up my team and make it really dangerous, like Toxicroak further restoring health and Meloetta's devastating Thunders gaining accuracy. Recover is an obvious choice for its intended use. Sometimes, I may lead with Quagsire to give Bronzong an extra edge when setting up rocks and dual screens. Whether I do or not ultimately depends on my mood, I guess. @ Expert Belt Trait: Serene Grace EVs: 52 Atk / 252 SAtk / 200 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Relic Song - Close Combat - Thunder - Hidden Power [ice] People who have gone up against Meloetta do not like doing so. The reason why is because you have no idea at all of what it will do. I could masquerade Meloetta as a special tank before using Relic Song and all of a sudden Weavile and Blissey are sitting ducks; change it back again. Thunder's paralysis chance combined with its damage means it deserves a spot on the set, regardless of the presence of rain. Hidden Power [ice] hits Gligar very hard if it thinks it could simply switch in on it. @ Choice Scarf Trait: Illusion EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Dark Pulse - Flamethrower - Focus Blast - Extrasensory Meant to hide behind the guise of a Toxicroak, Zoroark works its deviosity as an effective revenge killer, in addition to something that can spring a surprise kill on our dearest friend, Forretress. The beauty of this is that most people don't really catch the reason behind the extra health drop from Stealth Rock, so they go about their business. Then, the trap is sprung. Dark Pulse smashes Psychics like Victini. Flamethrower decimates Forretress and other common Ice-types and Steels like Magnezone and Cobalion. Focus Blast does damage to a wide variety of targets, including Empoleon and Kyurem. Extrasensory gives Fighting-types who don't wanna leave some extra encouragement. @ Flame Orb Trait: Magic Guard EVs: 252 HP / 16 SAtk / 240 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Cosmic Power - Stored Power - Psycho Shift - Roost I make people hate Sigilyph. No, seriously, I do. The technique is to find the perfect switch-in and stuff Sigilyph in front of it, with Flame Orb activating without wasting an extra turn. Then, up go Sigilyph's defenses. Roost provides the occasional recovery (it doesn't take hazard damage, which is beautiful). When Cosmic Power has hit +5 or so, it's time to destroy. Anything that doesn't resist it is eliminated immediately. Psycho Shift can also initiate combat with another Pokemon, nullifying Sturdy and Focus Sash so Stored Power can sweep them out. NOTE: I have considered a few times over to change Cosmic Power to Calm Mind. Why? Because its power is frightening. God forbid it gets to +6, but if it does, it can OHKO Blissey, effortlessly 2HKO Max Special Defense Jirachi, among slaughtering many other things. The trade off is that physical defense is lacking, but Psycho Shift can make up for that if timed properly. Also, Psycho Shift can also do favors and snap sashes and Sturdy so Stored Power can clear them in one blow.@ Black Sludge Trait: Dry Skin EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Drain Punch - Sucker Punch - Bulk Up - Bullet Punch / Ice Punch Bulky sweepers are rarely seen in OU, but they're plentiful in BL! Toxicroak is one such example. Bulk Up improves its physical prowess, namely its attacking power, and its ability to take an Earthquake or two and punch back. Drain Punch further improves its versatility and survivability, making it very annoying to fight. Sucker Punch catches Ghosts and Psychics who want to ruin Toxicroak. Bullet Punch is for overall variety, while Ice Punch sees fliers and Dragons die. Go ahead, steal the team, see if I care! Of course, the raves and rants are what make this kind of thing happen, so let's hear what you have to say about my latest concoction!

This is what Deliverance does to people:   [Reborn]Amaria's Deliverance protected itself! [AO]Berserker's Rayquaza is confused! [AO]Berserker's Rayquaza used V-create! [Reborn]Amaria's Deliverance protected itself! [AO]Berserker's Porygon2 used Discharge! A critical hit! [AO]Berserker's Rayquaza lost 12% of its health! [AO]Berserker's Rayquaza fainted! [Reborn]Amaria's Deliverance protected itself!

Never was a fan of the band but I love this cover.

I shuffle through a few, each from a different game that I'm playing. League of Legends: Gran Turismo 5: Unreal Tournament III: (more basic one but still swish)

The Art-icuno Of Killing In Cold Blood Articuno @ Leftovers / Focus Sash Trait: Pressure / Snow Cloak EVs: 216 HP / 40 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Mind Reader - Sheer Cold - Ice Beam / Hurricane - Roost Articuno's movepool is crap, but at least it has the benefits of decent defenses and a niche as a sure-hit OHKO'er. Mind Reader sets up your next attack to hit unless they switch, and that includes Sheer Cold. With hazards up you'll have them sweating buckets, forcing them to make difficult decisions. Hurricane is my choice over Ice Beam for an attacking move, but in reality you are just using it for breaking Substitutes and fending off more frail sweepers. Roost keeps the ice chicken in battle for a longer period of time. Use Leftovers for recovery, or Focus Sash to surprise slower Pokemon like Rampardos.

You'll learn that if you can keep CC'ing Xin Zhao with stuff, he can't do shit to you. Personally, I've had few troubles with the dude because, you know, I play as Ashe a lot. His ult kind of works against him in that regard. Just don't approach him expecting not to get speared to death, and you'll be fine. P.S. Just be thankful you're not my brother. He's fought against Morello a couple of times, and when you know that you're up against Riot's Lead Designer, and he mains Xin Zhao, you can't help but break down and cry.

1st: Kamina (Berserker) 2nd: Renzo 3rd: Chael (SonOfCereal) Thank you to everyone who joined and see y'all next time!

Signups have been closed. The tournament is starting..

Gibbazee has been added to the tournament, in addition to everyone above.

That feel when I shoot Darius out of the air and kill him just as he's about to ult my support. Darius can go straight to Fuckofftown.

The Theme Tournament, unfortunately, must be delayed. It'll begin at 8:30 PM. My apologies if this poses as an inconvenience, but it means you have another hour to decide whether or not to join, so if you haven't decided yet, you can dwell on it a little bit longer. Also, an overwhelming majority of the people I asked want Deoxys-S and Genesect banned, so that means yes, Deoxys-S and Genesect are no longer usable in this theme tournament. In addition to that, I should have said this before, but if there is any question about the legitimacy of the battle, please send me the log of the battle. I will do my best to make sure that this goes smoothly (I am not entering myself) so that it's fair and all that good stuff. The following Pokemon have been banned: Genesect Deoxys-D Sandslash and Sandshrew Cacturne and Cacnea Garchomp, Gible and Gabite Beartic and Cubchoo Glaceon Froslass (That Evasion Clause is a bitch) See y'all in an hour To Xiph: Well, the whole point was to involve Gen V Pokemon in a Gen IV-style environment. It'll be interesting to see how strategies change.

If this looks a little messed, the forums didn't want to cooperate with us. Oh well. It looks pretty enough, as Delcatty put it. As stated before, you can start signing up now.

Sure I do, when I'm playing support Ashe. EDIT: That feel when seeing Armor of the Fifth Age Taric. Quite a...stunning look to him.

I am the best Ashe NA. Bow before me. In the same game...

Dafuq is this shit That feel when you finish your build and go RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think this topic needs a bump. With the increase in members, at least they'll have people to ask should they want assistance. As for me, I can help you out in anything so long as it's not Ubers. I suck at Ubers.

Actually, Gurdurr barred off that entrance, pretty sure.
