Spooky hat season: a themed team tourney - nominations
« on: November 01, 2024, 12:04:26 AM »
Just a silly idea I had for team battles.  Don't have fancy introductory speech on hand so going directly to the guidelines.  Nomination guidelines are as follows.

- Up to 10 slots per person.  There's no need to use them all though.
- Nominated duelers must wear a hat or other type of headwear either in their most common in-game depiction or official artwork.  Masks, goggles/glasses, and earrings don't count as those are more worn on the face, eyes, and ears respectively rather than the head.  There's still some wiggle room so if in doubt, nom the character anyways and I'll sort it out.  Headwear does not need to provide full coverage; hair bows and bandanas are fine as a few examples.  Just as long as the head decoration is readily visible in the artwork.
- Nomination must include the type of headwear the character has as they'll be placed on teams based on type.  If not sure what a character is wearing, close approximations are enough.  Nominations lacking a headwear category will be considered invalid and ignored.
- Anyone appearing the the most recent RPGVO is softbanned as the DL is short on funds for repeat appearance fees.  You can still nom them but they'll be given the lowest priority in placement.
- In the interest of interesting matches, no duelers that basically win in one action if they get a turn.
- I plan to put up the first round after Nov. 10 so noms are scheduled to close once the forum clock ticks over to Nov. 11.

  Believe this covers the essentials but ask if it appear I forgot something.

Thought of a few ideas, will add more as I think of them.

Chef hat - Quina (FF9)
Feather cap - Red Mage (FF5)
Headdress - Riesz (SD3)  Or whatever that winged headpiece she has is.
Hair bow - Flonne (Disgaea 5)
Hood - Meliadoul (FFT: WotL version)
Bonnet - Elena (Grandia 2)  Not entirely happy with this nom but she does have an interesting tool or two for team battles.
Crown - Princess Toadstool (SMRPG)  I believe this counts but forgot whether this particular incarnation wears one.

Some of these might be more spoopy than spooky.

Godlike
Albert Simon (Shadow Hearts)
(Not much of a Godlike, really more of a demoted Heavy, but he does have a top hat and "can't win in a turn" rules out High Godlikes anyway...)
Time Mage (Bravely Default)

Heavy
Wizard (FFT)
Arycelle (Tactics Ogre)

Middle
Lilly Pendragon (Suikoden 3)
Ivy & Lyn (FE Engage)

Light
Dark Knight Ricken (FE Awakening)
Ricardo (Shadow Hearts 3)
(Warning that Ricardo is in his element in team battles despite being a Light!)

So out of the valid noms, they make 3 teams of 3 (hair ribbon, bandana, fedora), 3 teams of 2 (chef cap, baseball cap, sombrero) and a scattering of singles.  I can run something with this though ideally, there would be teams of 3 or 4.  EDIT: Updated team count status, I missed a third member.

  So I'm gonna make the call to extend the deadline for another 48 hours or until we get up to 4 teams of 3 whichever comes first.  Then it's showtime.
