RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Amaterasu - 05-03-2017
I'm voting on B and C:
-The "safe houses" idea sounds really neat, and it gives all those traumatizing vibes that Dante's Abyss is known for (at least for myself). Plus, the focus on writing skill and less on luck I personally like, because I'm not a fan of luck
-While the aspect of armies sounds complex and requires strategizing and talking among the players, I feel like it could be a very interesting thing to pull off! And it could certainly lead to a lot of alliances, mindgames and player interaction.
A doesn't have much appeal to me personally, and D... well, it was pretty much DA 2016, so I'd like to vary it a bit. But, that's just me.

At least in A, alliances can be formed and broken based on demand, but in C, you're locked into teams and can't split off on your own to survive. It's the most videogamey of all the options and the one I feel encourages characters to go against their IC inclinations most for the purposes of metagaming, followed by A.
For the record, I just want to say that nowhere in that blurb did it say you're locked into a team. Or that you even have to be part of one of the three starting teams.
My mistake, I figured it would be based on DA: Conquest.

Elements will be similar, but I've had long enough to come up with my own spins and modifications and alternations and what have you.
Also I feel like this is going to wind up with some nonsensical multi-way tie.

I'd be disappointed if it didn't.
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Jim Raynor - 05-04-2017
I voted B. I think that's the best format.
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Tearen Wover - 05-04-2017
Maybe a way of limiting 'dream teams' on option B would be to put a hard level cap on the total number of Prime levels there can be on a single team.
For example, if it were 10, Tearen could only team with two level 1 Primes or 1 level 2 Primes.
This does make it slightly more arbitrarily gamey, but also potentially limits super-primes from running with the ball.
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Handsome Jack - 05-04-2017
I think high level teams are pretty self-limiting in B anyway, since they'd all go to the same safehouse and have to eliminate each other.

I love scenario C, it gives the oppertunity for large scaled epic stories. Something i am a personal fan of. The amount of plottwist one can write is huge.
Scenario B would be my second choice, purely due to the fact that talented writers/ native English speakers have have a huge edge and that kind of holds me back. There are some with vastly larger vocabularies than myself. Because well, I'm not an English native speaker.
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Karl Jak - 05-04-2017
As a heads up, the final decision will come May 12th. Whatever option has the most popular support at that point in time will be the event hosted this summer. I figure that gives people enough time to ask their questions or say their peace before I move into the planning stage.
I'll have rules and overviews for the event up by ... May 22nd? And then the "preshow"/registration would start a week later, and the event would commence ... June 2nd or June 3rd.
Hope that's an okay timeline and gives people enough time to make their final decision and prep a character to participate. Whatever you guys would like to go with, I'll do my best to work with you to create something memorable.

I'm pulling for © the Conquest style.
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Jim Raynor - 05-06-2017
You may not know this, but will the beginning run into the current Dark Data saga?
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Skeletor - 05-06-2017
Voting for B & D just cause Darkshire was recent for me, but I am excited to hopefully take part this year!
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Alex - 05-07-2017
For the record, Darkshire was a bunch of primes fighting against the backdrop of a bunch of mooks killing each other.
=/=
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Handsome Jack - 05-07-2017
For the record, everyone should vote for B.
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Todd Ingram - 05-07-2017
Don't listen to the insect, go go C!
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Omni - 05-07-2017
My official vote was for B and D.
RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Handsome Jack - 05-07-2017
C is for suckers. It's the poor man's Risk. B is where it's at. It's got whore houses, booze, and fun times.*

RE: Summer Syntech Polling - Jim Raynor - 05-07-2017
I'm surprised at how close the vote is. I thought one would be a clear favourite.
