If I lend money to someone and that person doesn't return the money when I ask for it back, this is a scam, right? Therefore, staff should be able to force that person to return the money. In the context of an unpaid bet, staff doesn't force anyone to pay because in theory no money has been lost, so it's not a scam. Let's assume the two individuals that bet send each other the same amount with the following message: "This is a loan if player A wins, if player A loses this is a gift." By doing that, I believe there is no need for any middle man. Staff will have to look at the money exchange as individual loans and not as bets. To remain consistent with their anti scam policy, staff would have to intervene if someone refuses to return back a loan, right??

Auction in 24 hours from this post.

@Mkns1070 @Lvkee @camilo7 @Axelgor @heichicoda @KaynineXL @Mlhawk @Sebat PSL XIV players auction will be held Sunday, December 5th 2021 at 4 PM UTC on the PSL Discord server and can be followed on the PSL 14 Spreadsheet. Managers can choose a friend to a draft for them in case they might be late or unable to attend the auction. In the event a manager and his back up manager is not there on time without any explanation, I will give their manager spot to the candidates from the reserve list (1. @Wallarro, 2. @ShanQi, 3. @Tawla). Each manager will start the auction with 200 credits and bid their credits on players to create their roster. At their turn, managers will have to nominate a player for an amount equal or superior to the minimum starting bid. The minimum starting bid is 4 credits and outbids are in 1 credit increments. If no one outbids after 30 seconds, the manager with the highest bid wins the nominated player. Managers must buy at least 9 players and at most 12 players. The nomination order has been predetermined. Round 1 Round 2 Odd number rounds will have the same order as round 1 and even number rounds will have the same order as round 2. If after completing their roster a manager has remaining credits, those will be used throughout the Regular Season and the Playoffs. Each week, managers will have the possibility to spend 3 credits for an advantage. The advantage can be a) the manager can put himself in the lineup or b) the manager can put one of his players twice in the lineup. The manager against who an advantage is used will receive 3 credits. Only one advantage can be used per week.

Imperial wins the Rapidash Shiny

The 3 months cycle movement system is quite bad imo, even though it was a great improvement when it was first implemented. The objective was to make sure pokemon would stop yoyoing from one tier to another. Every month, this is hardly possible now, but every 3 months, yoyoing should be expected. Within a year, Aerodactyl has been yoyoing from NU to OU to UU. As of today, Aerodactyl has enough usage in OU for moving up and also has not enough usage in UU for moving down. So, the yoyoing is far from over. Many pokemon are in the same situation and will arbitrarily move up or down based on the cut-off point of the 3rd month of each cycle. I believe the following 2 systems would be much better and allow lower tier metagames to develop and evolve naturally without constantly meaningless disruptions: Option 1 4.36% remains the cut-off point. A pokemon moves up only when it is above the cut-off point 2/3 months in a row. A pokemon moves down only when it is below the cut-off point 2/3 months in a row. By doing this, we should expect less yoyoing and more importantly the movements should be less arbitrary; unusual rise or decreased in usage in the third month of a cycle would not lead automatically to a pokemon changing tier. Option 2 Different cut-off points for moving up and moving down. If a pokemon's usage is constantly around the cut-off point, it is expected that it will be changing tier constantly and by doing so will be very disruptive. Imo, it would be better if a pokemon moves down only when it goes below - let's say - 3% and moves up only when it goes above - let's say - 5%. These options can be combined and require no manual entry, so very little effort to implement. These have been suggested mutliple times already and have usually been disregarded because of the fear that adding movements restrictions will lead to stale metagames. I believe this reason is unfounded because: this has never been tested and therefore arguing that will inevitably lead to stale metagames in speculative at best; these options can be adjusted to make it easier for movements to happen (for option 1, if 3 months in a row is too restrictive, it can be changed to 2 month in a row) (for option 2, if 3% and 5% is too restrictive, those can be changed for 3.5% and 4.5%) There has been movements crisis in NU specifically for at least 2 years now. The TC can't be expected to tier anything in NU if the metagame changes constantly and broken stuff keeps getting arbitrarily added and removed to the tier before anything can get banned. edit: I understand that the 3 months cycle is ideal for the seasonal system that we have in game right now. Here is how option 1 and 2 could be combined to support the seasonal system just like the 3 months cycle did. Every 3 months, a pokemon moves up if its usage is above 4.5%. Every 3 months, a pokemon moves down if its usage is below 3.5%. If a pokemon is 2 months in a row below 4%, it moves down. If a pokemon is 2 months in a row above 4% in moves up.

If 2 more people match K9 and Gunthug, I'll ban King's Rock from PSL season 14.

I see. I thought we voted anyways in case this would happen, my mistake.

I'm pretty sure Rhyperior is BL or was about to be voted as BL the last time it moved to NU.

I'm not asking for the ruling to change, simply for the ruling to be explained. The following text explains perfectly why P2 is banned as Defensive Uber. "In a tier without Metagross and Heracross, Porygon2 cannot be countered in any consistent form by any of the offensive Pokemon the tier provides. This coupled with the fact Porygon2 is able to repeatedly exert pressure in the field by safely switching against large part of the tier as well makes it way too good for the current tier." However, there is absolutely no mention of P2 wallbreaking and sweeping through a vast portion of the tier, so how did P2 fit Offensive Uber Characteristics exactly?

If what I am saying is off topic, please tell me in which thread I am allowed to discuss the issue I brought up.
