View Full Version : The Think Tank.

I swear, dealing with multiple supergroups is hard. No wonder I've let Gauntlet Legends fall to the wayside. :(

It's great that I've finally gotten around to spicing up Malice in Wonderland again, but now I'd like to focus on Urban Bushido. It has been a while since we had a nice event or other get-together, poor Esbat's getting despondent or bored and we have several Shodan who are gunning for Hachidan and would like a trial or two to help them earn their promotions.

So here's a thread where we can put our heads together. If it works, I might even recreate a new Think Tank thread and Sticky it, so that we might have a new place to compare ideas and concoct future Urban Bushido events.

So what sounds like a good idea for a future UB event? Vote, speak, sell me.

1) Another sparring tournament, just like the last two. The more members we have, the better. Sonic Star is the current champion, so anyone who can unseat him might be due for a reward.

2) Ninjas. Anyone with Virtue slots to spare can create a ninja (most likely a Martial Arts or Katana Scrapper), maybe even throw in a wu-jen wizard (from one of the three squishy Archetypes) and/or his stone guardian (a Stone Armor Tanker, done up to look like some Oriental terra cotta work of art even when not "stoned up"). Give the ninjas generic names like "Iga Ninja [such and such]"...Iga Ninja Togo, Iga Ninja Shen, Iga Ninja Hiro.... Get all of them up to SL11 or so, but don't load them with Enhancements...just to be fair. Then we head to the Arena and throw ninja wars, with all the ninja teaming up against one randomly chosen Urban Bushi. Then drop the match down to Featherweight or whatever it is...just to keep it fair. Revel in the ensuing ninja-horde-versus-one-martial-champion battle.

3) Pirates. Same as the Ninjas idea, except we use pirates instead.

4) Ninjas versus Pirates. If we're feeling froggy and we have a big enough turn-out for #2 and/or #3, we split the throng into three teams: Ninjas versus pirates, with the sole Bushi caught in the middle. >:]

5) Robots. Like #2 and #3, except the lone master fights it out with robots instead of ninjas or pirates.

Options 6 through 8) Oh, for Pete's sake...you can figure all of this out, can't you? Oh, my head hurts....

9) Gemini Park Kata Fever. We get into our leaders into their team uniforms, we go to Gemini Park and we show those artsy drama queens how our sensei run a martial arts class. Newcomers are welcome. Maybe we could turn this into a recruiting drive. :)

10) Something else. Spell it out for us below.

That's it.

...

Really. That's it.

...

Well? What are you waiting for?

I don't know about that going against more then one even without enhancments if there are like 3 on 1 I feel sry for that one, but it might be fun :D

Of course, it's better if you don't take the ninjas on all at the same time.... :P

If I were a ninja I would stay with my other ninja friends wandering off on your own is how you get secretly taken out by the hero

But let's say your ninja was sleeping in class the day they taught that, and so your ninja was relegated to serving some evil overlord in some B-grade ninja flick.... :D

Yes.. any wayward Ninjas will be Crane Kicked through a second story window.

What if there are no windows around? :D

Cryogentic

then I feel sorry for that ninja when he is kicked through the wall and not a window...ow

Thank you. :D

I'm still mulling over your proposal, too. If I'm going to step in with a reply, I might as well make it a good one. :)

I would, but I've been a little distant for awhile. That and we only in esscence have 6 members. And I haven't seen one in awhile (Esbat), and the other I've just never really talked to before.(Radical Dreamer) And I haven't seen Frost play as Saber in awhile.

I'm around as Saber sporadically.....because some days SR is such a friggin pain, and I love the char/concept too much to watch him eat dirt day after day before they figure out what the deal with it is.

Sadly, it appears that the Super Reflexes situation is only going to get worse in the days to come. I won't abandon Widdy over this, but it does seem that her current build won't work out for much longer.... :(

Well.. We've only got..... 5 Active members....
We really, reallly should try to recruit more....

Cryogentic
08-02-2005, 06:29 AM
Thats what the LEADERS are suposed to do :P

notice how much MiW has grown, and we are not even really going to be active till CoV.

I want to change my vote though, I like the ninja idea more

Well yeah, but it's not often that you meet a hero within the rules that isn't in a SG at my lvl, and I barely even team nowadays anyway. Plus I'd feel silly broadcasting recruitment ads in AP or GC....

Cryogentic

Go help the new Heroes, and if they look like UB material try to recruit

Kurai Inago
08-02-2005, 06:50 AM
Yeah.... but I don't Like playing as Big Sonic, cause I hate playing without progressing. I also really don't like talking to Lowbies (Hence all the Soloing with Kurai, Mini Sonic, and Alice) So Yeah... that.... just.. no...

Kurai Inago
08-02-2005, 06:52 AM
Wow.. Did I just come off as an angry old Hermit man or what? I need to lighten up....

Cryogentic
08-02-2005, 06:59 AM
Yes you did, no wonder recruitment is slow your scaring them all off

Kurai Inago
08-02-2005, 07:04 AM
No.... just not talking to them.... More or less.

Kurai Inago
08-02-2005, 07:11 AM
Woo, I came up with an Idea.... but it involves me making an Alt..... So, two Questions, does a member have to be online to be Promoted, and two, do I have to put cash in the Jar for it?

Cryogentic
08-02-2005, 07:12 AM
no cash in the jar, and I think they have to be on to be promoted

Kurai Inago

Damn... oh well, I can dream can't I anywho, more details as I work them up.
