Net wrote:
I'd say it's about time the sun began to set on our suburban arena, don't you think? Perhaps the darkness will bring rise to more than just fighting...

I'm thinking: Great evil summoned by large amounts of power within the arena, forcing both sides to unite against their will? Fighting, although fun, won't show all of an RPer's potential, at least in my most humble of opinions.


So, what does everyone think? I think it's a decent idea.

Honestly, I'm not crazy about forcing competetors to join in this, or to have the overseeing judge/judges do this suggestion (if only because it's expected). IF on the other hand, you or Net are not-so-subtly prodding us into using our godly judge powers to shake things up, I'm all for it! If the competetors choose to team, that's their idea. Kinda like when Shee mon took control of her RP in the Olympic first event. That was impressive.

The horror of suburbia? Like what? Michael Douglas toting a gym bag full of guns as he tries to get home?


Seems alright. You do have a point, Sensei - fighting doesn't show all of an environment's potential. Maybe us judges ought to also throw some other characters into the fray, asking each contestant what they're doing.

Scenario #1

*A little cute woodland animal walks onto the scene*
*Addman, hiding behind a rock to avoid a sniper, catches his breath*
Cute animal: Hi, Mister. Whatcha doin'?
Addman: *panting* Trying to not die. I've got a sharpshooter who's out for my hide!
Cute Animal: Oh, that sounds terrible! Can I help anyhow?
Addman: Alright.
*Addman grabs the animal, and throws it up into the air, beyond the rock's shelter*
*The assailant opens fire on the animal*
*Addman runs in the other direction of the firing*

Could help get get some interesting, non Y-chromosomally based interactions.

If this is within our legal capacity to do this, then I am inclined to let loose a few nightmares into the DreamScape. All for good fun, naturally.

*nods solemly*

The volcanoe exploded.


If we're shaking things up across the board, what should we do for the team tourneys?

El Dorado arena: Suddenly announce the time for the annual sacrifice is at hand, then flood the street with guards out to find sacrifices.

Suburbia: Rush Hour!

Don't give me that, Kat. I say we should put our most attractive face forward..*looks at Hislordship*, and that isn't the bird here.

At any rate, YOU are the one to come up with those. You'll find a nice little intro to your event in El Dorado, too!

The problem with the bird is that, in most of these sacrifical things, you'd need a virgin to offer to the gods for sacrifice. That owl, if the stories his EC store are true, sure as heck isn't a virgin!

Not that it matters, the appointed day is here, so I am locking off all the topics and starting judging on the one's I'm responsible for. I say we have judging completely done and announced by Wednesday, so we can start the next round then.
