    Freudian issue

    I think I'm subconsciously insecure about the size of my penis. Last night, I dreamed that I was in an improv theater production, and my role was to be as much of a dick to the lead actor as possible. To signify that I was supposed to be a dick, I had to carry a dildo, but the dildo was really...

    Characteristics of a Desirable Mafia Game

    There should be a discussion of what makes a mafia game good, and what can get in the way of a mafia game being good. When we talk about what makes a mafia game, role, concept, team, etc. good or not, it’s important to know what exactly we’re talking about. People use terms like “broken...

    [Standard] Pokemon Items Mafia - Game Abandoned

    Pokemon Items Mafia: The Battle of the Bag Approved by LightWolf The Pokemon Trainer was annoyed. He had been wandering through Victory Road for hours and had just found a much-needed Full Restore, but his bag was full. Why, thought the trainer, couldn’t I just take everything out of my...

    Error with marking posts/threads/forums as read

    If you stay on a single page on Smogon for too long, all forums and threads are marked as read (i.e. every forum icon turns gray, every post has a gray page icon at the top, and every thread title is unbolded). It's a problem because then you have to look at the times posts were made and can't...

    Classical Music Thread

    Since other kinds of music have their own threads, why not classical music? Post what composers and pieces you like, what you've listened to lately, what you're currently playing, etc. I recently went to a performance of Jennifer Hidgon's percussion concerto (here's an excerpt from it)...

    Freezers

    In Metroidvania mafia, vonFiedler and polelover44 introduced the Freezer role, which has the potential to become a new standard. For those of you who didn't follow Metroidvania mafia, the Ice Beam item, called the Freezer by the players during the game, made its holder's target unable to...

    Updated list of smilies

    The list of smilies has not been changed in more than two years, and should be updated. Some smilies are outdated, namely :kongler:, :avatar2:, and :avatar:. Most active members have probably never seen a Kongler post, and even fewer know who avatar2 and avasmile2 are pictures of. These three...

    Join Date Requirement for Posting in Firebot

    The moderators of Firebot have had to say it countless times: new users should lurk before posting there. This is a very important rule for Firebot, but it is still possible for users to post in Firebot right after they have joined. I propose that it should not be possible for users to post in...

    Option for letting other users edit ones posts

    There should be a way to make a post that another non-moderator could edit. In the advanced options for posting, there should be a field similar to the recipient field for PMs, a field in which one could enter the name of another user to give that user editing privledges. This would be useful...

    Add Confusion Self-Hurting to Damage Calculator.

    Currently, the Smogon damage calculator cannot show the user how much damage Pokemon do to themselves when they hurt themselves in their confusion. This should be added to the damage calculator. Confusion is more common in competitive Pokemon than ever due to high Machamp usage, so it would be...

    Two village one mafia is dead. Or should be.

    As you probably know, Inventions Mafia has recently ended. It had a large number of problems, including inactive players, imbalanced teams, and too much of a "timezone factor" in determining lynches. The two-village-one-mafia format has several problems with it that make it worse than the...

    Lord of the Flies Mafia Postgame and Staraptor Call's 1K

    Lord of the Flies Mafia Postgame This whole mafia game started with an idea: what if the Prisoner's Dilemma were used in mafia? It could allow for some unorthodox alliances, "money management" issues, and most of all plenty of deal-brokering and backstabbing. Fairly early on, I decided to put...

    Two Suggestions

    First of all, the Simple Questions thread in Stark should always have the IVs for Bold HP Fire and HP Ice Celebi in the OP. In almost every Stark SQSA thread someone asks what they are, and since they're not in the Celebi analysis they're hard to find. Either add them to the Celebi analysis or...

    Rematches

    I'm sure it's happened to you many times before: you look for a battle on the Shoddy Battle ladder, only to find that your opponent is the same as before. Although rematches are usually an annoyance, they cause battles to play out in different and, in some cases, more interesting ways...
