PAY ATTENTION TO SCIZOR AS SCISSORS ARE ALSO KNOWN TO SMITE MARCARGOOS WHILE LOOKING THE OTHER WAY AND NOT EVEN MEANING TO DO SO. THEY'RE JUST THAT AWESOME. TOO BAD FROSTY HAS NO MARCAGOO OR THIS BATTLE WOULD ALREADY BE OVER BECAUSE SCIZOR.

NOW FITE.

[Frosty]

Oshus the Lapras with Shed Shell and Hydration

Earthquake - Drill Run - Earthquake
IF U-Turn THEN Roar on the last instance
IF Non-Suspended D/E outside a combo AND Volkraken is to move before Lapras within the same speed bracket AND Lapras is not to use Surf THEN Dive and push back
IF Reflect is up THEN initiate action string Rain Dance - Thunder - Surf



Dunno if the first sub is legal. I saw it being used before (or a variation of it) without much hassle. If it happens to be illegal, I would really appreciate if someone informed me so I can fix it. thanks.

 

[Ooraloo]

According to Zt, in U-Turn vs Roar in the same action, Roar is negated.

Relevant IRC Logs

11:29 PMO<ooraloo> Zt, as your first action as policy head, can you clarify what happens when U-Turn and Roar are used in the same action?
11:31 PMO<ooraloo> You Roar ordering first, and I U-turn ordering second
11:31 PMZ<•Zt> You order first next round, and you get to pick which mon to send out.

Will-O-Wisp | Overheat | U-Turn

 

[Frosty]

I asked dogfish44 and his answer was:

"I'm fairly sure we go by 'whichever was used later in the round'."

Just check his wall for it.


So I am requesting a ruling AND if the ruling is that u-turn prevails, I would like to reorder, as it is reasonable doubt

 

[Ooraloo]

Frosty is correct. My orders stay the same, so you can go ahead and ref, Rediamond.

HEY GUIS THERE WAS A HURRICAIN AND NOW IMMA IN SOME MIDTERMS SO LETS MAKE THIS QUICK AND COHERENT AS ALWAYS WITH MINIMALS PELLING MISTAKES.

SCIZOR, BANE OF ALL OF THE MACARGOOS, COMES OUT AND FACES OFF WITH MISS BLACKFACE. SERIOUSLY. NINTENDO HAD A RACE PROBLEM AND DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AND THEN FROSTY THE ICE DEMON RESURRECTED IT TO TORMENT OUR SOULS WIHT THE HEAT OF A THOUSAND MILLION MACARGOOS.

SPEAKING OF MACARGOOS HEAT, THE JYNS DOES A RITUAL DANCE TO SATIN AND SUMMONS UP A GIANT BLAST OF HELLFIRE THAT MAKES EVERYTHING GO BURN BURN ESPECIALLY THE SCISOR BUT IT JUST ROLLES ITS HEAD TO TEH SIDE AND SPITS LIKE A MACARGOO SMITER THAT DOENS'T CARE ABOUT HAT. THEN IT JUST RAMS ITS HEAD INTO JYNX ALL COOL LIKE LIKE HEY MAN I DON'T EVEN CARE BECAUSE MY HEAD IS MADE OF METAL AND THAT BEATS ICE ROCK PAPER SCIZORS DEATH STAR I WIN.

AND THEN JYNX IS LIKE OH NOOS AND JUMPS UP AFTER PRAYING TO SATAN WHERE SCIZOR CAN'T RICH IT BUT SCIZOR JUST LAUGHS BECAUSE SCIZOR IS IMMORAL AND CAN'T DIE. THEN JYNX COMES DOWN ADN GOES SPLAT BECAUSE ITS WEAK AND SCIZOR IS REALLY REALLY STRONG AND IMMORTAL.

THEN THE JYNX TRIES TO PRAY TO SATANN AGAIN BUT THE ICE DEMON IS JUST LIKE NOPE YOU ALL BE OUT OF THERE BUT NOT SO FAST SCIZOR NAILS IT ONCE AGAIN WITH THE HEADSHOT WIHT ITS HEAD AND THE JYNX IS SENT FALLING BACK TO THE FRONZEN LAKE OF FIRE WITH THE AMCARGOO WHERE IT BELONGS.

Frosty sends out a Pokemon and orders
Ooraloo orders

 

[Ooraloo]

Pallas Athena, I was told that if both players use self switching, the original turn order is preserved.

 

[Pallas Athena]

IAR disagreed on IRC.

 

[Ooraloo]

Still, shouldn't the second Pokemon to use a self-switching move order first?

According to dogfish and Frosty, the last move to be used is the one that takes effect.

U-turn's effect makes the player order first.

Since my U-turn is the last move to be used, its effect takes precedence over Volt Switch to make me order first and therefore send second, shouldn't it?

Wouldn't any other outcome contradict this principle? I cannot think of any reason that I would order second.

 

[Pallas Athena]

There are apparently different interpretations. I will wait until this gets formally ruled upon or someone can direct me to a formal ruling. Until then, the reffing stands.

 

[Frosty]

I will go get an official ruling. This is getting ridiculous. If it confirms the reffing, I feel a reorder would be be the way to go.

 

[Frosty]

ruling confirmed by the majority of the mods.

Ooraloo wanna reorder? If you do I might too.
