No, I am not.

What you claim in your post and what you actually intend to do are two separate things. You can tell people that you plan to give everyone who posts today $5,000 if Smogon ends up banning Aegislash. Doesn't mean you're going to follow through with it if/when they do. Just because you've told people that you're trying to improve ... does not constitute persuasive evidence that any games you lose with Aegislash were not thrown by you just to try and prove your point that Aegislash isn't broken. (Nor, for that matter, do such claims disprove the possibility that you were taking the match seriously but that you lost because you are unskilled.) Part of the problem with your test is that you have assigned the roles to the wrong parties. If you were to swap things around, your test could become more compelling. What do I mean by this?

I've addressed this already. If they're not going to respect my opinion because of my ranking and only such, then they deserve no respect from me, and a I won't respect their opinions for a belief that they're merely elitist pricks. Two can play at their game. But here's the big caveat to your argument here.
In my original post, part of my ending was me saying that they could ignore me for my low skill of they liked. However, people are actually giving legitimate responses to my posts, which means that rather than ignore, they chose to listen. Asking them to agree? A bit far fetched. But all I had to do was ask for them to listen up for a little while and it turned some heads. Not all of a Smogon is a bunch of couches to their lower folk. Now, it might just be the rare courtesy or someone admiring a perceived guts ones of me admitting how bad I am yet still putting my case in, or something else. Heck if I know. But I did what I intended! and I got some people to listen and think critically.

Frankly, they probably don't give a shit, so.
The only way to change Smogon is from within, so unless you're willing to git gud or start a new meta, they won't be changing anything, at least not on your behalf. |

Reqs aren't /that/ hard to achieve. Last time I literally just used the standard DeoSharp team to get the acquired reqs. I still got my ass handed to me 75 times. It's dependent on how well u start off.

In the grand scheme of things, I'm considered above average at best. I still can't build teams for the life of me and I get rekt daily when I battle. I don't even know if I'll be able to achieve reqs this time. I delved into the ladder and it literally feels like the beginning of XY again. Te team i used was okay on the normal ladder but wasn't getting anywhere on the suspect ladder.
If it comes across as me bragging, then I'm sorry. That is not my intent in any way. I know my limitations and how good I am (above average like I said earlier). I'm not gonna claim to be anything else unless I feel that i am, which I don't. Last edited by Cloneblazer12; 07-13-2014 at 07:12 PM. |

It's unfortunate that it had to happen with a match filled with so much WoW miss hax for my opponent, but a new personal best afaik: 1374 in VGC.
Though I suppose it was counterbalanced by the riDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIculous Scald hax I suffered here (Random Battle). Noticed that Zuisho's score had already slipped sub-1700 so I felt like doing a few battles. Won two, lost two, so the score is still sitting in the upper 1600s right now instead of where I would like it to be. :\ But after this latest game, ugh, I think I'll take a slight break. ^^;

Omg the hax I've had in so many f my recent battles is enough to make your average person attempt suicide. But I shall persevere! And I bet other people have had it worse

So I've decided to go on the crawl to get good at rand-bats and I figured, why not try. After a rather unfortunate forfeit that just had to happen, I get a chance at redemption. I also find out why Talon loves Staraptor so much, and as it saves the day for me this time.

Despite some poor choices in hindsight (and a couple even in foresight ^^; ), I manage to win this VGC battle and achieve an all-time personal record of ... 1401! :o I finally did it. Even if I'm going to plummet back into the 1300s, the 1200s, or (God @_@) even the 1100s soon after, at least I managed to make it past 1400.
Spoiler: show

Sorry. ^^; @_@ If it's any consolation, 1401 is probably a joke of a score to HeroicRein, so ...
Your game started off kind of shaky for you, so it was a solid turnaround that took place mid-game where you managed to wrest control of the match from him. Amoongus could have been much scarier but for your decision to Encore him and his decision to ... well, clearly not Giga Drain Politoed as otherwise he'd have Spored you and that would have been that. ^^; Congrats on (re-?)entering the 1300s. I was in the 1200s not but 24 to 48 hours ago myself so I know what it's like to be in the 1300s for only a short while and then drop again. I'm thrilled to be in the 1400s but, sigh, I know it's not going to last any time soon. More practice and perhaps a better team. (The team still feels very inefficient to me. :\ I've just gotten so used to them that I guess I understand their chemistry very well now and can use it to my advantage.)

Wherein Discharge redeems itself. (VGC 2014, 5 turns)
Spoiler: show A new personal best of 1421. I think I'll leave the account be for a bit. ^^; I want to enjoy this 1400s-ness for longer than thirty minutes. hahaha
