The Ki List - 1/10/09

[Alura]

I had to put the link in manually, Belle, but very clever with the tortoise and the hare reference.

[Belle Hibiki]

Foo, it showed up on my computer until I refreshed.

[Alexander Trafford]

Is anyone else anxiously awaiting the first saga.

*drools*

[Alura]

I certainly am.

[Vad]

Is anyone else anxiously awaiting the first saga.

*drools*

Dude, stop getting me excited. =(

[Alexander Trafford]

Does staff already have something brewing up, i bet you know what it is...

[Belle Hibiki]

Not really, actually. Because of the events of Calculating Catastrophe, Hibiki's big goal now is to collect the DBs. Side-sagas would be, like, the movies of Inu-Yasha, Naruto, or DBZ - ie., not having an impact or influence on the 'canon plot.'

[Alura]

There are no immediate plans for a saga (that I'm aware of). I'll be doing DA in March-ish, by popular demand, but I have no idea if anything prior to that is happening. I wanted to do a Furiza Fiesta tournament, but was told to wait a bit, and I think it was a good idea.

[Jack]

DA should be the first saga.

[Vad]

DA should be the first saga.

DA is really in depth, we should get new members and old ones alike warmed up with a small one first.

[Super Buu]

I don't like seeing the same format more than once, personally. But if a sequel's what the people want, then I can wait for the next saga.

[Misa Fujiroka]

Yeah, I don't even know what DA actually is.

[Alura]

I wouldn't even call it sequel. It's like expecting the World Cup to be a different format every year. It's always been a competition before it's been a saga.

Plus, I wouldn't even say the format is exactly the same. With the new system, I can see myself letting a lot of the techniques previously not allowed in. Of course they'll be dumbed down a lot, but things like healing, regen, teleportation, will all be incorporated (to an extent).

[Super Buu]

To be honest, I also just have a lot of problems with the format itself, tweaks aside. But this isn't a "bash on Burter's brain baby" thread, so suffice to say I'd rather just see something totally fresh.

[Jack]

District Attorney.

[Jonathan Meer]

I'd rather see a new DA.

[Kaden]

JACK MCCOY!

...

Sorry... what were we talking about?

[Ashe]

Yeah, Jack McCoy is getting a bit old. Time for a shuffle.

EDIT: Oh snap at the timing.

[Ashe]

To be fair, Reb isn't the originator of the Dante's Abyss concept (Jeff is, the guy at InMyth, from when he was Turles here). He is, however, responsible for the current format, which we've been running with for the last few years. Nothing says that it has to stay this format. Nothing says that it has to change either.

[Belle Hibiki]

I think it's unwise to have a PvP bloodbath be the first saga.

Aside from not making a shit-ton of sense for a number of characters, competition sagas like DA have a way of distancing players from one another instead of bringing them together. You are my opponent in DA. I only have interest in your writing so far as it impacts my chances to win, because if I lose, I can't play anymore.

I don't think that's the right foot to lead off on after a fresh reset with lots of new, unexplored characters.
