Dear Smogon.
I would like to inform you that I am an idiot. I didn't see that the whole 2:1 ratio thing had been overturned. I then subsequently continued to battle, trying in vain to get the right ratio for oususpecttest, right until a very nice user asked me why I was still battling when I already had reqs.
In order to realise how significant this moment was, I invite you to look at my deviation for oususpecttest. That's right, I got down to +/-
49 until I figured this out - not including the alts I made, trying to get reqs all over again. I'm quite certain that I fought more than 150 battles this suspect test.
It's commitment, if nothing else. On the bright side, this will be my fourth suspect vote, so (if I'm right) that means my first, shiny badge. Kind of fitting that it was so damn hard to get.
So. having finally gotten reqs, my stupidness notwithstanding, I can finally seal the deal, with a promise that next time, I'll actually read the damn threads every now and again.
Sincerely,
FF.
