RMT of the Week

co-hosted by Team Pokepals
approved by IronBullet93 and Jirachee
Ever wanted your team rated by a lot of people? Do you want all the efforts you put into testing your team, formatting it and finalizing it to count? This is where RMT of the Week comes in! This aim of this project is to give people who put effort into making quality RMTs the attention they deserve, as their team will be put in the spotlight for the week. There are a lot of teams that aren't exactly archive worthy, but are extremely well built and presented, and are often left in the dark. Not anymore!

The concept is fairly simple:
  • Every week, Team Pokepals and I select a few teams that are nominated as candidates for the Team of the Week.
  • These teams are put in a poll. Everyone can vote for the team they think is most deserving for the Team of the Week.
  • For the rest of the week, the team with most votes gets posted on Facebook and Twitter. It'll be also posted in the Hall Of Fame which will be posted in the OP of each week along with a brief description of it. People are also encouraged to rate it.

Now you're probably thinking, "You're optimistic. Why would people rate this team more than another? After all, it's no different from any other team." Yeah, maybe. But this is the perfect opportunity for all of you unbadged users to draw attention on you from the RMT staff. If you produce good rates for a Team of the Week, something that most of the Staff is going to look at, you increase your chances of earning the Ladybug
and Team Rater
badges.

What kind of teams are going to be selected for the Team of the Week? If you are interested in getting your team selected for the team of the week, here are some things that you should do to increase your chances of getting nominated. Here are some of them:
  • Make sure your team is viable and effective.
  • This one is fairly simple. If your team doesn't fit into its tier or metagame, or it doesn't have any kind of success, it won't be selected for the Team of the Week. Like I said, it doesn't have to be archive worthy, it doesn't have to have peaked #1. Just a moderately successful team can make it, but it has to work.
  • Your team has to be well presented.
  • Don't you hate to post in a thread that doesn't look good? Yeah I hate it too. If you put a lot of effort into presenting your team well, it'll show and people will be happy to rate it. We appreciate when people take time to improve the quality of the thread they post in Rate my Team, as it improves the quality of the forum. This should be rewarded.
  • Be nice, no one likes to rate a close minded person's team!

For those whose teams are selected, don't ask anyone, be it friends or anyone else, on the forums or on PS! to vote for you. If anyone gets caught doing this, their team will be disqualified.

It's come to my notice that Lord Outrage posted the link to this thread to his friends in various PS channels and Skype groups, which is as good as asking them to vote for him. As a consequence, his RMT has been disqualified and taken off the poll.

I can't stress this enough, please do not ask anyone, including your friends, on the forums, on PS, on Skype, or anywhere else to vote for you. If anyone gets caught doing this, their team will be disqualified. It really shouldn't be clearer than that. This project is meant to bring to the spotlight teams on the basis of their merit only, not on the popularity of the player. Thank you.
 
O well I'm sorry about that and I accept the disqualification. However it wasn't clear at all. It was only saying that don't pm random people asking to vote for you not that I can't post it in chats where i have peeps so I hope you guys next time be clearer please to avoid this with others too.

By "random people" it doesn't specifically mean people random to you. The intention was to prevent people from accumulating votes by simply posting the link in chat groups to get someone, be it a friend or anyone else, to vote for them. It's cheap, and was the reason the project was discontinued before in the first place. I accept that the rule probably wasn't literally clear, but I would've expected you to infer that what you did would not have been in the spirit of the project.

Anyway, the rule has been adjusted and is now clearer I hope. That's the matter closed, please stick to talking about the teams left in the poll now. Any further post discussing Lord Outrage's disqualification will be deleted.
