.::Saga Idea::. - Alsa - 08-15-2007
I just got a wonderful idea for a saga. I've posted something similar before, back in '06, but I felt it necessary to post this again, as I've changed some major concepts. Here's how the saga would be run.
All of the greatest fighters in the universe have been called and trapped in a split maze (That is a maze with two sides), bonded to a partner by a magical restraint. Fighters of two would be grouped. Lets use Jeice and 18 for example. They must both work as a team, share ki, and defeat other teams in hopes of claiming the prize, and the exit out of the maze. There would be many traps as they advanced closer towards the exit, such as fighting a clone team, enemy teams, collapsing sealings, and gas traps. There would be two such exits: one on each side, both with a prize amount of zeni and a special item. This item would be ideal for defeating the other team. (IE...Team one gets a golden scimitar and Team b gets a band that makes their ki blasts twice as effective) After the two surviving teams made it through the exit, they would have to fight the super-powered being that brought them there. First, the two teams would have a battle. The winning team would face the mystical being.
Rules and Things of Note
- When one person in a team dies, they both die, and are always, no matter what, sent to hell, no matter what. It does not matter if they have led a good life, an evil life or some life inbetween.
- The magical chain bonding both fighters hands with a max distance of 4 inches is UNBREAKABLE. Only by dying or winning the challenge can the two finally be freed of the magical bonds.
- The losing team in the final face-off will not go to hell. They will be instead returned to where they were teleported from, but they will lose any reward they earned. (IE... the golden scimitar and the 1000 zeni)
- The winning team keeps both of the special items, both of the teams combined zeni, plus an extra 5000 zeni. They will have to agree on an equal split and will be sent on their way, teleported back to where they were teleported from.
- The two on a team must NOT be on the same alliance, have no relation to each other, or completely despise each other. No friends or alliance friendlies are allowed.
What do ya'll think?

Someone's destination after life cannot be determined by a saga. It just sounds stupid when you say it out loud. Also, that would make a lot of people turn away from the saga. Hell isn't exactly the best place to go when you die - you have to go through the fucking rings, and that sounds like grueling work.

I think its a cool concept, but it needs some work to perfect it. Like Gokua said, going straight to hell would make alot of people not want to join...Maybe if instead of just the last people competing didnt actualy die, no one actualy dies?
Also when you say no relation and such for the teammates, do you mean IC or OOC?
.::Saga Idea::. - Aero - 08-15-2007
He should mean IC.
.::Saga Idea::. - Tamsin - 08-15-2007
It`s an original idea, I have to admit. But who goes to Hell is determined by King Yemma and not someone else. It would be better if you sorted it like this:
- the team loses during the competition, dies
-the team that loses in the final face-off is returned to their planet, but loses all rewards
Otherwise, it`s a great idea. If the activity on the RPG gets up a bit, it would be worth to consider it.

Naw.... to many flaw and issues to it actually. The only person around at the moment that could make it work would be Burter and he's busy and he'd have to tear the thin apart and rebuild it, so it would actually make sense for a more of a Storyline saga, or a Competition Saga. In which case it would be more of a DA style thing.
Thats my opinion...
I mean think about it... the logic and realstic thing of the rules makes no sense.
-You have to kill everyone before you leave the maze?
-If not, what happens to those still in the maze?
-It's got to be like DA Map style right? If not whos going to make groups go face to face?
Theres so many issues here

I admit, there are some major flaws, and yes, it should be: whoever dies, dies, and thats the end of it. As for who would face off, that would be decided by staff randomly, and both teams would have to RP the opposite team finding each other around a bend or something. Thanks for all the C&C, I really appreciate it =D

It's called Dante's Abyss (it's random enough).
.::Saga Idea::. - Alsa - 08-16-2007
...
The whole saga's a copy of Dante's Abyss? Bah, I quit.
.::Saga Idea::. - Mal Nova - 08-16-2007
It seems Dante-ish. Didn't someone suggest earlier about making a tag team Dante thing?
And erm... meh it'd ahve to be Random.org'ed or DAnte-esque moves. If it was dante-esqued... then everyone would know how to the end because they would ahve a map...
.::Saga Idea::. - Alexander Trafford - 08-16-2007
its not that bad. it's like pac-man meets mortal kombat
.::Saga Idea::. - Alsa - 08-16-2007
That was pretty much the idea. ^^
I still think this would be a great way to get more people to join chubbs.
.::Saga Idea::. - Mal Nova - 08-16-2007
NO.. a better way... is to ask Burter or Yamu to do antoher saga... simple enough....
.::Saga Idea::. - Alsa - 08-16-2007
Why not suggest this to Burter instead of telling him to think up something else... Mino liked the idea at least...
.::Saga Idea::. - Jack - 08-17-2007
Yamu made a saga. Nobody gave a damn.
.::Saga Idea::. - Pan - 08-17-2007
Sounds interesting HF 17 but i wonder who i'd be paired with?

I counted a few people who gave a damn. Just because you didn't give a damned, doesn't mean no one else didn't.
The only two people that have made saga's that were successfully completed by their own hands, and not passed to another, recently are Yamu and Burter.
And like i said, if Burter did this, he's take it and make it his own...
