#dw challenge rules

Time to restart the #Dreamworld challenge!  This will start on 7/30/11 at 8:00 PM EST.  It will go until I feel like stopping it...which might be any time from 3 days to a month from now (I'll stop when I see general interest fading)!

Rules:

*  Using the Smogon University server's BW OU ladder, try your best to get to #1 with a team that does not have any weather inducer on it.  That means Snow Warning Abomasnow and Snover, Sandstream Hippowdon, Hippopotas, and Tyranitar, Drought Groudon, Ninetales and Vulpix, and Drizzle Kyogre and Politoed are all banned from your teams!

*  Before you begin, PM Aldaron an alt that has 0 battles on the BW OU ladder (a fresh alt essentially).  You can start once Aldaron updates the user - account list with your information. Try an make your alt recognizable (both in regards to your main name and the challenge, Aldaron_dwchall for example) so people can watch.  We want this to be a spectator endeavor.

*  Since the ladder on SU is very new, getting #1 is probably easier than usual.  If you get #1, don't stop.  I'll probably add either a higher score to reach or reward the person who has the longest duration at #1.

*  Since this challenge is directly related to many people whining incessantly about some perceived inability to win without a weather inducer, if you do notice success with whatever combination of Pokemon / strategies, please post here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3449630 with your thoughts.

*  Initiation of intelligent discussion in #dreamworld in addition to well received posting and success in the challenge itself opens an unlimited amount of spots for status upgrades (temporary until the next challenge) in #dreamworld.  Prolonged solid performance over a few dw challenges is probably the easiest way to make those upgrades permanent ;)

*  To clarify, you must stick with the alt you first provide, but you can change teams as many times as you want, so long as each team adheres to the limitations of this challenge.

*  Have fun!

Good luck to all! =D
