    A few things:

    -With that stringent a type constraint, a challenger can just use weakness to trivialize the challenge.

    That's the point. The challengers are supposed to not have too much trouble beating the gym leaders. That's why they have to beat so many of them.

    -Would a challenger have to use the same team against all the gym leaders?

    Does he have to in the single-player game?

    -If so, would a challenger becoming a leader have to use the team he used to beat them? As in, do the challenger teams have to follow the same conventions as the leaders?

    Not sure what you're asking here. If a gym leader wants to become an Elite Four member, they have to face the Elite Four with a team that would be valid for gym use. A regular challenger doesn't become a gym leader that way; he just makes a team and a badge.

    -Flint's team had 3 of his 5 pokémon not have fire type at all - Lopunny, Drifblim, Steelix though they did have one fire move apiece. Cynthia's team was totally mixed.

    Big deal.

    Yeah... No offence to you and the other guys at ReMod, Oddllama, but those "gym leader" systems never work. I don't think I've ever seen one actually last more than a week. Most of them never go past the initial planning stage.

    Sure, with an attitude like that they'll never take off.

    What happened to Unmod?

    Mmmkay. If you can get banned from unmod.org, you should probably just go home.

    Please. You ever been there (or, for that matter, to the original Unmod)? Anyone can be banned from .org. At least here, there are rules that you can use to sort of predict when it's going to happen.

    Anyway though. I think it'll take a lot of goodwill on the part of the remaining Unmodders to turn Offtop into a good place. FORTUNATELY with this thread around, it seems that mostly the Unmodders who, y'know, have any goodwill are going to be the ones who're sticking around. This is good prospects.

    Writers' opinions, por favor

    I think it'd be best if you hold off thinking about publishing until you've actually written anything. 99% of writers mostly take what they can get.

    If you're serious about it, hire a literary agent. If you're not that serious, then there's no reason why you couldn't put it online, as long as you make sure that the copyright and all that is in a position that'll be favorable to you if you try to publish it anywhere else.

    I think you also have to consider the general sort of humor style that prevailed in Unmod at the time. Half those people, I bet, didn't have anything against the mods, but were just going along with it 'cause they thought it was funny. I mean, obviously, that's kind of a dickish thing to do, but you do have to consider that they probably wouldn't have done it if they didn't get a reaction out of it. Essentially, what we've seen is the Unmodders who had sincere complaints about their friends being banned were joined by Unmodders trolling the moderators en masse. I, um, guess it worked?

    Wait a second... how are videogames fun?

    90% of the time I play videogames I am confused, frustrated, or disoriented. Where does this whole games = fun idea come from?

    Because people didn't have a better word for the psychologically complex senses of accomplishment, immersion, puzzle-solvery, and other different forms of entertainment upon which games now rely almost exclusively.
