After very careful and weighty consideration, I've decided to make some rule changes to make things a bit fairer. Firstly, the 50 point rule stays. I like having that hard lock and this week kind of shows why - We had two threads hit fifty this week. It was going to keep on escalating so it desperately needed the cutoff.
However, instead of resetting "Tiebreaker" points to 0 when a thread "wins" the vote point total for the week, those are staying the same. I'll also be renaming tiebreaker to "priority" points as of this week.
Additionally, there was a strange generic vote that wasn't so much for a specific thread, more like a "please do something with this series." I'm intrigued by that and willing to give it a try, but please do not take advantage of that kindness.
I'll ignore any other such requests for the immediate future, I can hardly keep up with too many series at once. Instead of putting it in as a vote, I intend to look into the series and put up some fatesplits. Cross C, if I do that and you find any of the ideas interesting, I'll do a followup to whichever one you find the most interesting rather than take the vote. Does that sound fair?
Onto the discussion for this week's winners.
Tainted Gestalt: It always comes down to the question of where to focus our attention, because there's a lot going on at once. Continue with Ami investigating how Usagi jumped that impossibly high? Maybe have her discover Sailor Moon a little early? Or head off to another universe completely! So many possibilities.
Rei Swarm: Kiss. I think that was the consensus, wasn't it? Have the Rei clone and Misato kiss. Which should take up a paragraph (or two at most). What should happen after that?
Splitter: I kind of want to go back to Ryunosuke on her date now. That seems like the most sensible place to focus for the time being.
Oversync: I think it's time for the pilots to finally get some action. The dynamics of this should be compelling enough to take up the episode.
Rei swarm: Have the kiss turn into a heavy petting session, with Maya using it to slowly convince Misato to willingly join up with them. Maybe have the body enhancement be more effective on willing subjects?
ReplyDeleteOversynch: Actual Sex should cause some severe changes in them.
Gesalt: Lets go back to Lelouch and Kallen, I forgot who was in his body at the time, i think Shinji?
ReplyDeleteRei Swarm - Option 1 for win place and show
oversynch- I am very interested in seeing how option 3 plays out, if sex doesn't work and they barred from seeing each other, I am curious if they'll literally bust down doors to have sex with each other, granted I'll take this storyline if only to see them change more,
but I'll take the other pick all the same, all comes down to if sex works or not.
Splitter: Yeah, Ryunosuke is really fun to write for all her issues. Hmm, possible things to come up on the date include: Ryu's father making an unwanted appearance. Not just for the relationship building Ataru/Ryu beatdown of him, but as a catalyst for interaction, lots of room for parent comparison, and "What do you want?" questions and such. Just one possibility of course.
ReplyDeleteRei swarm: Kiss turns into a heavy petting session while Maya gets to work selling Misato on the idea of having a Rei clone in her. Maybe willing subjects see greater body enhancements?
ReplyDeleteOversynch: Sex should definitely spur more changes, especially since they probably won't want to stop after the first time.
Gestalt: Yes, I agree with going back to Shinji in Lelouch's body with Kallen jerking him off. Perhaps Lelouch returns? Also perhaps a set up for Ataru?
ReplyDeleteAs far as Kono Suba goes, that was just a whim and I realize you have quite a bit on your plate. So feel free to not bother with it. However, if you are so inclined...
Crunchyroll is a free app that will show episodes for free.
skythewoodtl.com is a link to the light novel online.
This is a link to my story thread on CHYOA which I think does a decent job of introducing the story:

I've already watched the first episode. Two ideas have occurred already based on what I have seen so far.
Delete1: Aqua is a much more convincing Goddess, and establishes a cult.
2: Kazuma actually takes the merchant class, and learns quickly that it has certain advantages a creative man like him can take advantage of.
You may want to consider adding a hard-cap to Priority Points as well. The current soft-cap is just going to increase exponentially over time, and likely do so more quickly now that there's no other way to remove priority points from the system.
ReplyDeleteEither of those work for me, lumitiel.
ReplyDeleteThough there is a whole city that is full of aqua cultists in the series. It is introduced in the last few episodes of the second season. They take after their goddess...
