1) I was drunk at the time - I kind of missed being "The Mage"
2) Hosting tours is a great way to talk to people who you don't normally speak with. Also, I enjoy creating things which people enjoy - it makes me feel fulfilled when someone enjoys something I've created.
3) Hail 2012. Not only was the timing impeccable for it to be retested (December) It's also the meta I thoroughly enjoyed - Hail Teams were strong, but not unbeatable, a lot of the mons available at the time were great and fun to use. It wasn't the greatest meta in terms of an ideal metagame (Stall was only good when it was hail) and I felt teams lacked a lot of creativity.
4) I'd love to get more into Little Cup, Maybe dip into C&C too.
