1) There were concerns that many suspect voters used "if we ban this, Ghost will suck" as the primary reasoning for choosing not to ban Sablenite. That reasoning is antithetical to the Monotype tiering philosophy, which was still very new at the time (and people had concerns over whether it was a good idea).
2) No one really knows how a Sablenite-less ORAS meta will play. We can all theory-mon about how Type X or Type Y will be better because they don't have to use team/move slots to check Sableye-Mega. We can also theory-mon about how Sableye-Mega keeps many of the top tier ORAS threats on other types in check—facilitating the balanced meta we're currently enjoying. This is your chance to test those ideas and use actual battles to support your arguments.
In order to vote in this suspect, you will need to accumulate 3120 COIL on the Monotype ladder where Sablenite will be banned. The B-value for this suspect is 4.0. There is no game limit for this test. If you want to calculate the exact number of games a certain GXE requires, go here and replace the word GXE with the numerical GXE you're interested in and click search. To learn more about the COIL system, read Antar's thread here.
You may also view your COIL by simply typing /rank into the PS! simulator once the ladder is set up. Tagging The Immortal to set up the ladder. Thanks in advance!
We will also host suspect tours in the Monotype Events room. More details on these tours will be announced soon.
For those that obtain the requirements necessary to vote, there will be two options: global ban or no ban.
Some reference GXEs and the number of games required:
Code:
Games GXE
218 79
110 80
74 81
56 82
45 83
38 84
Participating in this suspect test does not count towards the Tiering Contributor badge.
The account you achieve your reqs with must be created on or after the date of this post and must have a SS2 tag at the start of it so we can ensure that everyone laddered within the suspect period.
Example: If I were to use my own name for obtaining reqs, the account I would use would be: SS2 scp.
Tag: SS2
The Tag for this suspect will be announced once TI has set up the ladder with Sablenite banned!
it will not be MS4 (for those of you that think you're clever)
it will not be MS4 (for those of you that think you're clever)
This suspect will end two weeks from the date the ladder goes up. By that time you must have identified with your reqs in the identification thread. The identification thread will go up during the suspect period and will be announced here as well as linked in the Monotype room.
A 60% majority in favor of banning Sablenite will be necessary for the ban to occur.
Intelligent and respectful debate of Sablenite in this thread is encouraged during the suspect period. One-line posts and shitposts are not. You are welcome to have more casual discussions on this topic in the monotype room.
