With PUPL coming up, I wanted to call for a revote on Scrafty in SS PU. This metagame was in an incredibly good place post-SCL and it didn't sit quite right with me to haphazardly ban Scrafty right at the generation's end. The voting results were extremely close, some people who qualified didn't get the chance to vote, and looking at who voted Ban/DnB, several of the tier's most notable players voted Do Not Ban. Examples include jonfilch, Leru, xavgb, z0mog, and avarice, who combined had a record of 22-9 in SS PU in the last SCL. In addition, the council was open to a revote a few months down the line at the time of the ban.
Observing the metagame post-Scrafty ban, I strongly feel that it has not improved and that during PUPL it will be worse off than if Scrafty were still free. I still care about this tier and would like the chance to improve it, restoring it to its previously very healthy state. If the vote turns out to keep it banned once more, that's totally fine of course. But I think given the circumstances, there should be a revote that takes effect before PUPL starts.
gum Chloe Shaneghoul idk who else might still be on PU council and I'm not bothering to check TY
