>>39227360UU became the safespace that OU once was in terms of ban speed. People think nowadays Smug ban things fast, but there were times where all it took was someone with ire toward another, lesser-known player to get something banned from OU.
Since then, OU has a smidge more protocol, but UU now throws a fit quite often. All BLs are just memes to try and act as "buffers" to delay the real instantaneous speed of these bans.
I miss the days when Smug was full of asshats who exploited Evasion and Status without whiny babies. The times when bans were constantly debated and never closed because once in a while someone would put two and two together and realize a cyclic balance.
Nowadays I find myself more entertained with Anything Goes-like matches without legends than by what Smug considers "grassroots" style OU.
