Hi all,

As discussed in this thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/cap-gen-4-prevo-voting-thread.3601220/ and then the voting results here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/cap-gen-4-prevo-voting-thread.3601220/page-2#post-7320681

Boulderdash came up as a potential casualty of this process.

As this vote was so close, I would like to run another quick poll on whether or not we should retain Boulderdash, or remove it entirely. Removing it would "downgrade" Stratagem to a Two Stage family, while "Changing" the design would keep it as a two stage line.


Rebble -> Boulderdash -> Stratagem



This poll will be run with PBV voting (a form of IRV), the details of which are outlined here. This means that you can vote for as many options as you like, and rank them by your preference. Be aware that order does matter in your votes! Make sure that you bold your votes and nothing else! A typical vote might look like the following:
Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred


Any comments that the voter has would go below the votes in non-bold text. Bold text is used to determine what the user's votes are, so none of the supplementary text should be in bold.
CAP uses automated scripts to count votes. For this reason, it is very important for all ballots to be submitted correctly. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.
  • The scripts count bold words in ballots, so do NOT bold anything in your ballot other than the options you are voting for.
  • Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
  • Only one option per line.
  • The spelling of options must be EXACTLY correct and must match the spelling listed above.
  • Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the vote counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.
Composing a proper ballot is easy. Enter BBCode Edit Mode (the A in the upper right corner). Copy/paste the options directly from the OP to your ballot as plain unbolded text. Bold your vote text using bold tags or re-enter text mode, highlight your vote and then click B. Mistakes in your formatting/spelling may spoil your ballot, so handle with care be careful! Also, don't campaign because that's bad.

========================================================

Keep Boulderdash
Change Boulderdash
Remove Boulderdash

Keep will retain the design and name we have (with the corruption discussion)
Change will be a vote for changing something about Boulderdash
Remove will be a vote to get rid of Boulderdash and turn Stratagem into a two stage line.

This vote will be up for about 48 hours, in the mean time I will be hosting a quick thread to see which mons we get started on sooner rather than later! Please share with other people interested in CaP Prevos!

Same reasoning as the last thread (the designs were never meant to be pre-evos, and are unnecessary), as well as Reviloja753's acknowledgement that "Boulderdash" isn't quite as fittingly punny as "Rebble" and "Stratagem".

I think the Strategem line needs three evolutions, but Boulderdash needs a fixing.

Remove Boulderdash

I am still convinced that Stratagem looks like the end of a 2-evolution line, not 3-evolution. Rebble fits perfectly as a prevo, and I do not believe Stratagem needs another.

I don't think a rebel becoming a strategist makes much sense evolutionary-wise (unless someone can explain), but otherwise it has to go.
