Because if it did get revived we'd have to wade through pages of stuff to find it again?

If we had more than two stickies on the board and they were overwhelming the normal threads it might be a problem but I don't see one as is...

You can always take over for Nephrite if you ask with nice puppy dog eyes. I think interest was starting to wane so it'd make sense to take a break, though.

Pffft. The interest is still there. It was just reaching the end of the season, meaning everyone was picking the same old characters to go against specific floors. A new structure and some more variety between the choices people get could easily get this back.
(And, y'know, I think I can safely say that the Dungeon is the one thing that actually got me into the DL, so I'd definitely be looking towards bringing this back ASAP. Maybe I'll poke Neph at some point soon if he doesn't check this first. >.>)

I poked Neph and he said he'd try to get things back and running by the start of the next DL season.

If the dungeon's coming back, I think some new characters would be cool. FF13, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and DQ9 all have characters who I think would be interesting.

So basically we must have another season.

For Nyarlie.

To be fair, if Souji dies the team basically has no... real anything after that. >_>

Reposting my newer team so people won't have to search back for it.  Also because the LuShi pair went up a bit costwise.

Rika(4.0)
Celes(3.5)
Lucian+Shiho(3)
Rand(0.5)

Sealstone:Life (preferably placed on Rika)

 <@Elecman> Seems reasonable.

Submitting a team to the rotation!

Team Meeple Fantasy 6
Terra (3.0)
Lenneth (3.5)
Yuri1 (3.5)
DQ Hero (0.5)
Ditto w/ QuickPowder (0.5)

LoveLove Sealstone~ (Might change this to Elem Adv if it gets changed)

Terra, Lenneth, and Yuri get a lot of status blockers between them, good elemental/magical damage output (and eventually some physical damage). Also, healing, healing, healing, and early revival~
And hey, everyone can vote on them!
DQ Hero and Ditto are just generics to fill in the for the MF6 cast members I couldn't afford~ (I would have loved to add Tir or Ike to this)

We are missing a very mustached team somewhere in all this that I currently don't have the time to go and find. ;(

I'm changing my team up, so it'll be:

Ivan (3.0)
Sasarai (2.5) w/ Resourceless
Eiko (1.5)
Sacred Slayer (2.0)
Jane (2.0)

Still working off the same idea where Sasarai does what Sasarai does best (HINT: nuke enemies), but this time a support team that can work more towards getting him that turn. Ivan's speedy damage will work out better than Billy's speed ups on floor 1, and on floor 2 having a speedy Sleep-slinger about is really darn useful. I do, of course, trade in healing for the status slinging, and lose after-battle revival and physical damage for Jane, but that's a sacrifice I'll have to make.

Idea, of course, is to hopefully carry the team to floor 4 after which Jane gives Sasarai a free pass to Land of Eternity -> Earthquake, which hopefully should deal with most if not all adversaries. If not, assume fetal position and cry a little, I suppose. If I can pass Floor 1 I should be able to take Floor 2 and 3, too. :V


Thinking of swapping Eiko for Emma. Yeah, I know, even LESS durability, and healing completely relies on Sasarai then. (whose durability is also not stellar) The upside is that an Earth Zone or Magic Zone will make Sasarai's ridiculous damage output more ridiculous if he needs it.

Demi(PS4)(3.5), Princess Toadstool(SMRPG)(3), Edgar(FF6)(2.5)(Speed Sealstone), Eiko(FF9)(1.5), Ditto(Pokemons)(Quick Powder)(.5).

I tried my original team, then tried it again. Time to actually try the idea I had when my original team went down. The main hole in the build I decided at the time was less any of the basic ideas, and more that I really, really needed high-end fast status. Edgar can provide that, at the cost of making the entire team average speed or close to it, except Ditto.

Which may or may not work out, but it seems like it's worth a try.

I detect a distinct need for the dungeon to REPENT.

By this I mean I am chaning my team to:

ZALMO (3.0)
Geno (3.0)
Lyn (2.0)
Tia w/Body Charge (1.5)
FF1 Knight (1.5)
