'Kay, so I'm probably crazy for doing this but I think I'm going to withdraw and then offer myself as ref. In the interest of keeping this whole thing as manageable as possible, is it okay if we cap the number of participants at six? I think it's good with the battlers we have so far.

Also, just so I'm clear... attacks like Thunderbolt or Flamethrower would work like normal as if the water wasn't even there, right? How will weather moves function? And I imagine Double Team is pretty much useless since the water would immediately destroy the clones, right? Finally, I know participants send me their first Pokemon/commands... but what about all subsequent commands? Will those be PM'd to me or will they be posted in the topic like a normal battle?

That's all I need to know. Also, I propose a strict one week DQ time to keep this battle from dragging on until we're all old and grey.
