Come on guys. If it takes you guys that long to trade, one hundred percent guarantee that you are doing something wrong.

Maybe its just having it all down to a formula, but if two people are online on a relatively fast medium (discord, skype, hangouts) it takes maybe 3-5 min for the trade to go down. If you have a system down, it takes maybe another 5 min to send the test to your team and tell them to take their events within the next week.

It all comes down to how you do it. This is why I have slowly been shifting my trading exclusively to discord. Everything else is too slow.

hypocricy is real. and east says not to post tests publicly on scioly.org, and that guy says that posting tests is gud so just send em to us...
hypocricy is real. everyone who supports public tests and has tests shud post tests.

Again, only replying because it could help other people. I hope you're not trying to call people hypocrites, seeing as a significant amount of them have actually written tests for public invitationals such as UMSO or for resources like Captain's Tryouts and SSSS. Right now, that's probably the best way to help - write public tests, or write tests for competitions and encourage those competitions to release tests.

If that's what you're getting from this, you're either trolling, stubborn, or just really dense. Each of the three is detrimental to the discussion, so it doesn't really matter which one it is.

if you advocate for public tests but don't allow or support for the release of them, how is "public tests" gonna happen? instead of spending 2 hours writing a test, i can just post my test bank (50 sets) in like 2 seconds
