Monkey finger, regarding my Keep Imoen vote

I believe that Baldurs gate deserves a forgotton warrior from the game. I (personally) dont think its drawing is bad enough to just boot the entire thing. (Arc the lad 4 has Kharg staying, Baldurs gate draws the simlarly, Brigandine is staying,) I only picked Imoen since she won three matches and even upgraded! If there is a different PC that would be a better forgotten warrior, then I will change my FW pick.

« on: February 14, 2009, 05:58:57 PM »

http://www.rpgdl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10057
1. If you could rank just one person without question, who would it be? How realistic is this goal? For those that responded last time, was your selection last time ranked?
  Sora from Kingdom hearts, just rank him already. Who cares if all you see are bars, most games are converted to percentage for damage anyway. Should be realistic, but isnt here. I said RS Jack last time, and he wasnt ranked

2. If you could rank one game without question or complaints, what would it be? How realistic is this goal? For those who responded to the last poll, was this game ranked?  PHantasy Star 3! Not realistic, no, because this is what I said last time

3. What are you final thoughts on Not Ranked? (From the board tournament all the way to the final season/it's impact) I liked it. I liked actually voting on games I liked that were booted from the main site (Persona 2, Arc 4, PHANTASY STAR 3, and Suikoden scrubs) Some of my favorite in game characters are "scrubs and lesser used characters" I loved  not ranked for that. Hated the final season how you just seemed to give up in the middle of it, leading to many robs.

For the next three questions, use 5 if you're having trouble coming up with ideas.

4. Who are your favorite 10 godlikes?
Ted
Chris Lightfellow
any other suikoden godlike

5. Who are your favorite 10 heavies?
Kharg (yay to avoiding the boot this time Kharg)
Luc


6. Who are your favorite 10 middles?
cant think of any right now.

7. Who are your favorite 10 lights?
Shabon
Vaida (what, shes a fun light)
Soren
*insert X amount of punies*

8. The more things change.. we're at 80-90 votes per week now. What would you do to improve this or make us more attractive to new voters? I dont really care about votes, its almost more fun now that there are less votes

9. What direction would you like to see the DL go in for ranks? We've gone from the high tide of 2007 to.. not a hell of a lot of late. What consoles should we target? Nintendo DS. Getting Dragon Quest 5, Suikoden Tierkiris and Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon. (who wouldnt want to see Marth ranked?)

10. What DL game is next on your to play list? What DL game will you never play? Well WA2 and 3 I started, but WA2 stopped working on my PS2 and WA3 froze at a certain part when I tried to exit a town. I have WA4. So any of the WA games. I will never play Xenosaga and Ogre Battle. Oh and Brigandine since I heard its like Ogre Battle which I tried and hated.

11. Since the last version of this topic (October 2007), a lot's happened. What's been your favorite moment? Your least favorite moment? Favorite moment- Middle champ Menardi!!!!!!!
Least favorite moment- Shining force robbery

12.  Do you miss the high point (150 votes a week) of the board 8 flood? no, they made low vote draw awesome games draw poorer

13. What was the last match that really captured your attention? Did the person you were voting for/rooting for win? Menardi for middle champ. She won.

14. Do you expect FFX to be the last Final Fantasy game the DL fully ranks? Why would it be? Whats wrong with FF12? Great game. I scale FF12 PC's based on Starting licences.

15. Should we rank DQ5 slime y/n? DQ5 slime or just any DQ Slime? Fun Puny. YES rank it!

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (FW Naesala)
yes
yes
should have been ranked in the first place

Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis
yes
yes
All PC's, no to bosses

Mega Man X: Command Mission
no
a very small ranking, just to test? if it turns out good, rank more later

AtL4 Bebedora- boot, sorry Bebe
Baldur's Gate cast (Imoen, Edwin, Viconia, Minsc, Jaheira)- Keep Imoen and Minsc as forgotton warriors, boot the rest.
Shining Force 1 (Entire cast besides Max and Jogurt)- Keep Kane and Darksol, boot the rest
Shining Force 2 (Entire cast besides Peter, Odd Eye, Bowie)- Keep Sarah and Slade, boot the rest
Tales of Eternia secondary characters- Boot all
VPs Freya- Eh, I see that form as legal, might as well throw in a keep vote.

Super, I voted Rozalin too! Granted I have more respect for her than most and I vote on Taos remake form since that is all I played.

I do like the idea of redoing the roster and leaving a bunch of forgotton warriors. It still leaves fan favorites in.

One of the reasons I came here was BECAUSE Arc the lad 4 was ranked. I got the link from Elfboy on the Suikoden 3 board and stayed because I was like "Hey, someone else becides me knows about this game. cool!" I even attempted to get more people to play it., both online and in real life. Part of the reason I love this place is because of the large variety of games ranked. Of course I cannot vote on all of them, but I even loved not ranked and I am sad to see it die, since it was the only chance some of my obscure favorites like Phantasy Star 3 would ever have.

Again, part of the bad votes this season is old game vs new games. Take Shining Force 2. Look at Odd Eyes votes compared to Kazin and Taya. Odd Eye drew much better vote wise. He was facing Wren, from another Genesis game. Kazin and Taya were facing newer games, and in the case of Taya, a game only about a year old. Darc also was facing the same game as Taya.

Maybe we should have the DL go "on hiatus" again and redo the roster and have a bunch of forgotton warriors. I like that Idea alot, especially since I like many of the games that have or are going to be booted. And really, Lufia 1 is that bad? the last time it was in Lufia faced Hachel, one of the lesser used Legend of Dragoon characters.

Tao has formsplit though. Remake form loses to Rozalyn. (at least I voted for Rozalyn. Tao's remake form is awful. I also have more Rozy respect than most do here.) I dont see a robbing going on there. I voted to boot her more because of massive formsplit from the remake, not because of vote draw.

SF2 is definitly being Robbed though.

Arc 4 and Baldurs gate as far as I know are not being robbed that much. (I think Chisato deserved to beat Imoen, and I saw debate in Darc vs Akihiko in the stat topic. Kharg was not robbed. Neither was Bebedora. )

For me its not vote draw nesscessarily. (low vote draw shows people are following the rules that they only vote if they know both) its more robbing than anything that I boot.

ATL 4 (Bebedora got a specific mention)- Boot Bebedora (as much as I pain to say that)

Keep Kharg and Darc

Baldur's Gate- Keep Imoen, boot the rest

Phantasy Star 1- Keep Alis, boot the rest

Phantasy Star 2- Keep Rolf, Nei, Rudo and Amy, boot the rest since they arent used as much, Keep Neifirst too, forgot about her.

Shining Force 1- Keep Max and Jogurt, boot the rest

Also add in a boot for Brigandine (except keep a Forgotton warrior (not sure who is the best bet here though). Using the vote draw Season 40- current it was drawing worse than BG and Arc 4, yet never gets mentioned in these topics)

Shining Force 2- Keep Odd Eye and Bowie and boot the rest. (abstain on Peter though, might be talked into keeping him. )

Barbarossa (Suikoden)- Keep, pointless to boot him.

Keep all others mentioned in the topic (CC, Suikoden scrubs, VP scrubs, FE7 scrubs)

 Edit: Tales of Eternia: Boot Ras, Chat and Max (Ras is a temp, the other two are optional), Keep the others.


EDIT: Also I dont care about vote draw as long as characters are not getting robbed. Kharg/Imoen isnt getting Robbed, shining force is. Thus the reasoning for my votes. As always, I like having a forgotten warrior since it gives the DL more variety. and Plus, I like many of the low drawing games >_>

Edit yet again: Forgot about Neifirst and added in a keep for her. Also added an abstain on Peter.

Lloyd (LoD) vs Mekiboz (SRW)- okay, LOD has ONE hot person. All the PC's arnt hot though
Squall Leonhart (FF8) vs Reyson (FE9)- As pretty as Reyson is, Squall is one of the 5 sexiest video game characters EVER.

actually I am pretty sure at least in FE10 experience by allied units DOES go into the exp pool. (how else do you get a value ending in not 0 when you havent used any up?) Maybe in FE9 it doesnt though.

Also I nominate Claudes Ripper Blast from Star Ocean 2 (If only for the Pear into peaches joke)
Also the move where Jessica from Mana Khemia drops the random things on the enemies and sometimes its a fish
Also DSC from SaGa frontier. Awesome move.

I dont know Angela, so I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure Poo starts with an item in his inventory that immunes or at least resists Brainshock. I see some people saying Angela wins due to confusion and Brainshock is the Earthbound equivalent of confusion.

If she has other status or I am wrong about the what the item does, ignore my ramblings. The item is the "Brain Stone"

Edit: none of the faqs at game faqs agree what the Brain Stone does. Some say it resists all status PSI and some say it only resists certain status. I'm pretty sure the in game description says it prevents brainshock.

Aww, Not ranked is closing. See why I fought to keep the characters I liked in the DL. They said "you can nominate them for not ranked." Well at least I got Paulette and Lena in NR once! (though I never got Mieu and Delma)

But yeah, I think the writing board should be made public. Less stress on the staff for write ups and stuff. And who knows, maybe on days I dont work 10 hours like today I could do a write up. (I either work all day or not at all)
