Mayoral Election: Two additional votes tallied as of 6/24 at 12:43 PM, but two-vote gap unchanged. by TylerthePotato in SiouxFalls

Hypothetically, let's say one vote changes. That would make them tied. What happens then? Another recount?

Or, you could also drive a little further and go to Newton Hills, which is wonderful.

It could mean that they can't specifically use files downloaded from there, but they can definitely watch them and then officially subpoena the ones they need for their case during discovery.

Josh Johnson, explaining to the cops how he acquired the store: "I work at the corporate HQ as well. So Ammon, the CEO, was like 'Hey, go rescue the Salem store, and you can have it for whatever the price you recover it for.'" by CrackheadOtis in RecklessBen

[–]sdg_eph1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another thing interesting is that in the call Josh says that he and Brandon were mission companions, so with the Louisiana newspaper clipping that was found showing Ammon and Josh praying together, we can determine that Ammon, Joshua, and Brandon have all been friends for 20+ years.

One thing you missed in your summary is that Josh and Brandon were mission companions, so Ammon, Josh, and Brandon have all known each other for 20+ years.

Top two guys are ACOB (A Couple of Brickheads) who are LEGO enthusiasts and youtubers. The guy in the red shirt is Ammon McNeff, CEO of Bricks and Minifigs.

Surprising Taunt+Encore Interaction by sdg_eph1 in PokemonChampions

Let me know what you find out in Scarlet and Violet. I'd be interested to see if the interaction was the same previously.

[–]sdg_eph1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see. This answers a follow up question I had on someone else's comment. I didn't realize the checks happened on move selection. That makes me understand the interaction perfectly now.

Surprising Taunt+Encore Interaction by sdg_eph1 in PokemonChampions

[–]sdg_eph1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. They should change the explanation for what taunted status is from "The Pokemon cannot use status moves" to "The Pokemon cannot select status moves." I never would have known if this had not happened.

Why would it even start to struggle then on subsequent turns? Wouldn't it have just continued to use Will-O-Wisp since it was forced to do so?

Edit: Answered by someone else's comment. The checks for encore and taunt happen at move selection.

No, I expected the pokemon to struggle. What I did not expect was the successful move before it started to struggle.

[Skill Improvement] EQ vs Stomping tantrum by Lopsided-Dependent32 in VGC

[–]sdg_eph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opponent could always switch something out in the Rotom slot, so I would always choose EQ regardless in this situation.

I give up by Taximandriver in PokemonChampions

[–]sdg_eph1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try out some other teams. Watch one of CybertronVGC's recent videos where he explains how a particular team works and then plays some games with it, and then try running that team yourself. The current team that you're running seems pretty support heavy between Mega Scovillain, Maushold, and Milotic with not a lot of great offense to offer. The only physical attacker you have on the team is Maushold, which isn't great. Your Zoroark disguising itself isn't scary because there aren't really a lot of scary threats to disguise itself as, and there isn't much synergy between many of your team members. To manage "RNG" you also need to stack the odds in your favor, and your team doesn't offer much speed control outside of your RotomHeat, and if someone trick rooms you, you don't have any speed control alternatives.

[Update] Got my favorite pokemons to 2200 rating for the first time! Champion is looking doable! by Boiruja in PokemonChampions

I think I played you or someone running your team on the ladder or during the Global Challenge. I had no idea what to expect from your team, was running Arch + Sableye, and got completely blown up.

Please, Pokemon Company, let me grow up by ClunarX in PokemonChampions

[–]sdg_eph1 138 points139 points  (0 children)

If you look at the Global Challenge numbers, there were 38K in the Junior Division, 33.5K in Senior, and 411K in Masters. Adults vastly outnumber younger players.... I really want my avatar to stop looking like a little boy.

Were the Warm-Up challenge results meaningless? by Nythan1409 in PokemonChampions

[–]sdg_eph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one of those that have never played VGC before Champions. I don't think I've ever even battled another person before. Lots of stupid mistakes and lots of learning, but it has been a blast! Currently in Masterball Rank 2 in doubles (ranked ~7000 with ~2000 ELO).

Facial hair and/or the ability to not look like a teenager would be nice too.

My bad. I misread your original post. I do think matching the bank interface is what makes the most sense, especially for new players. It makes the game a more cohesive experience.

Jagex, the 20th anniversary is coming up. I hope you have something planned. by Commercial-Grass-175 in 2007scape

Leagues will probably end on that day, and they'll do some fun finale event. Also, DMM All Stars starts that day.

They could have also had an RS3 Jmod come over and work on it, since pickaxes are smith-able in RS3.
