I'm not sure if you misread one of my last sentences or not. When I said, "I don't think you haven't honored my request and talked about it among yourselves and I appreciate your responses regarding pokemon of all things," that means I am grateful you and whoever you have conversed with are having a discussion with me.On my end yes I should have been more detailed in my initial post, I went for a short and consise response because I didn’t want to over complicate, but that was myb I couldve just laid it out.
Also something I thought I was more clear about. It’s not the implementation itself that is going to cause chaos and disrupt, it’s the means by which we would need to go about doing so that would disrupt the community since we can’t cross our boundaries with a council vote (explained why it crosses our boundaries above). The only method we could go about making an implementation like this without being at the start of a generation is via a suspect test. Right now the community is in the middle of one of the biggest competitions of the year while competition is at an all time high. We aren’t particularly interested in having a suspect for something that we feel could be solved with significantly less drawback at a different time. You can think about the distractions that suspecting swagger would cause during a major team tournament for us. We want to keep the focus on competing right now as these time periods are short lived and happen annually. And You can say we haven’t honored your proposition, and while I can sit here and say we have and you can say you don’t believe me is just he said she said. What I can tell you is that I wouldn’t be taking the time out of my day to be having a fair discussion with you over what myself and other council members have discussed today after seeing your post. If it gives you any closure I’m willing to let you know that this is something we feel we will revisit in the future. We know there is an argument there, if there wasn’t an argument there then the rest of smogon would still have it banned. Just understand that we aren’t in an ideal spot to do something like that and a forced decision, which is what it would have to be, is still forced and will cause unwanted disrupt solely by means of implementation regardless of whether or not the implementation itself is deemed viable or not. I look forward to this being revisited because I think we could get something done here, but for now I hope you at least see where we are coming from a little bit even if you don’t agree (which is fine btw) because you have a case, it’s just not appealing for the sake of the community right now.
I could've put 2 and 2 together to understand that mwp is what you meant by "disrupt the community" in your second post, but spelling it out made it a lot clearer if that's what you meant before. If that is what is keeping you from doing a suspect or whatever it is that is going to involve the entire community, that makes sense to me. Why draw everyone's attention away from the tour? In the future knowing that, "we will not be able to fully honor tier changing discussion amidst large tournaments," is useful information. That would've saved us both some time.
