Conversation with iHop

Piexplode: hey
Piexplode: just realised I might have said
Piexplode: hi on a different alt
Piexplode: lol
Piexplode: Curse Flareon OP is me
Piexplode: how are ya doing and did u see what I put up on ur wall?
%iHop: hi piex sorry aout that, my computer crashed
Piexplode: that's okay
Piexplode: server restart and all
%iHop: so yeah
Piexplode: hm I was also thinking about something else
Piexplode: pretty disparate from the rest of this stuff
Piexplode: idk just wondering sorta how much influence you have as a driver
%iHop: not a whole load
%iHop: why?
Piexplode: cos I'm considering trying to persuade Isa to make a video for new players to play RBY OU
%iHop: who is isa?
Piexplode: but cos Isa's not active on showdown and stuff he thought it might not be a good ide
Piexplode: idk I think they might have auth
Piexplode: but they're a top RBY/GSC pplayer
%iHop: i've never heard of an isa
Piexplode: u know there's a bug in RBY that's been reported 3 times and is still not fixed lol
%iHop: lol
Piexplode: well he's active on PO and is in POWC and stuff but as I say inctive on showdown
%iHop: is he staff in showdown?
Piexplode: just looking okay he doesn't seem to have any auth
Piexplode: he has auth on RBY2K10 which is basically
Piexplode: the center of the RBY community
Piexplode: he's basically the top staff on there now the origina 2 creaters have retired from that website
Piexplode: *original
Piexplode: I waas just asking this stuff cos
Piexplode: ur basically the closest friend who I have with any sort of major auth on here
%iHop: well i mean
Piexplode: I mean I'm not at all close to hugen/shrang or any doubles people who are higher auth idek who is, and riley's inactive atm
%iHop: it's not really a matter of auth
Piexplode: isa was saying basically that
%iHop: we don't have any say in tier communities whatsoever
Piexplode: smogonites just don't like RBY OU
Piexplode: lol
Piexplode: I know that but I was thinking
Piexplode: about making the video
Piexplode: to put it in the news bit on the side
Piexplode: to try and get more people in the tier and I was wondering
Piexplode: what shot there was of me, if I were to persuade Isa (and others maybe) to do it, the chance of it being put there
Piexplode: it's really not a dead tier it's getting to the point where people are doing some really clever maths on stuff to work out the probabilities for certain pokemon in matchups and stuff
%iHop: if you can persuade isa to do it
Piexplode: m9m posted lapras vs chansey on rby2k10 and in ruinsofalph on here
%iHop: i don't think it'd be too hard to get it in the news
Piexplode: :)
Piexplode: I'll copypaste this convo into a pastebin
Piexplode: and show it to isa later
Piexplode: and see what he thinks
Piexplode: I'll show marcoasd as well
%iHop: i mean
Piexplode: (another major player but I think he's more active on showdown too)
%iHop: that's no guarantee ofc
Piexplode: I know
Piexplode: well it's all I've got lol
Piexplode: cheers bro
Piexplode: :)
