...I kinda of like the thought of the first week being the pitch itself, and future weeks potentially being ideas for how the story goes, either by arc or by issue. Potential for weaker pitches to pick up steam (or GOG Galaxy, depending on preference) as the team-maker gets a better handle on how they think it'd go.

The funny thing, is I picked Kitty because I specifically wanted to avoid any other character that was in my block, and wanted to choose someone that people actually cared about and I forgot Shadowcat was ever an alias of hers. Just used to thinking of her as Kitty.

And, in fairness, she's dead at the end of your pitch's story *anyway*, so roughly the same effect.

Yeaaaaah it is, just taking it into account, and you're not wrong about it being a title for a story, or a story arc. I'm just worried anything else will be eyerollingly pretentious, because I am a bit prone to that as well, if ya couldn't tell. ^_^'

...I have classes for the forseeable future, no breaks other than Christmas but I can't promise anything would happen during that break, especially after having two free months and.... *that* fucking happening.

...Basically... I want to be part of how this ends but I don't want to be the reason it flat out dies, if that makes sense. If you guys can finish it without me, make sure it does. If possible get some of my guys in as reps, you have a good idea of my favorite characters, but I can't rightfully ask you to do so, especially when I already had that chance myself.

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

Pitch
DeathChicken vs. Johnbobb ...The pitch is improved immensely. I'm interested now. The name's terrible still, but it's additionally because it doesn't *fit* anymore. This can be fixed though, and there's something to it now...
IhatethisCPU vs. redrocket Can't vote, but... listening to what may need to be worked on.
ChichiriMuyo vs. MartinFF7 ...There is rather a lot more being laid out with the revamped pitch here. There's a simplicity to Chichi's that does work in it's favor, and the BRM is covering rather a *lot* of ground. ...And I... don't fully follow Nate's motivation here, or why he'd... I still prefer BRM, but something about it doesn't click with me the way it used to.
banananor vs. Wicklebee Name's better. Pitch is still fantastic.

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

Pitch
Shaduln vs. NBIceman *Yes.* I have some issues with the name, but the new pitch is *immensely* intriguing, and I want to see where this goes.

Snake vs. Mega Mana yeah, still my type of story, and I'm gonna probably be picking it in every match unless it somehow weakens *immensely* or if one of the other pitches improve even further. Not impossible if todays improvements are anything to go by.

Scare vs. Lopen ....I can't pick on this one yet. Both are *massively* improved from last round, and I'm... intrigued by both.

MegaManX vs. Eddv
---

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

Yeah- yeah, that's fair.
---

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

...You aren't TECHNICALLY wrong but I didn't not consider Chamber's powers as part of the pitch. I generally try not to see them for their destructive capabilities. Entirely too reductionist and I hate treating characters as just their powers and combat techniques. Part of the reason I despise one-note strong characters in media in general.

...And I didn't consider specific powers for combat purposes, other than they might be interesting to see used. I have Cypher and Butterfly on my team, for crying out loud. Even *with* Cypher's language translation abilities apparently applying to body language now as well, unless that's changed recently.

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

Allllrighty!

Dust for Lifeguard, then?
---

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

I'm willing to give up Dust. Need Nocturne since her and Kurt how what brought the start of the pitch to mind to begin with.

Who d'ya think is a fair trade for her?

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

....the G not being capitalized threw me, but that makes sense @@

....*I see*.

That makes sense yeah. ^___^''

...Those're... actually interesting thoughts, but they would be a bit constraining. And would... probably end with larger feds just hiring workers from other regions and styles *anyway*, unless you wanna set everyone to only being able to work the one continent manually.

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

....Hmmmm....! okay, fair enough, Mana. ...And *fair enough*. Slowly getting more and more interested in this book.

Mega Mana posted...

And also this is why I kept my pitch short and to the point.

I ramble.

No worries! Always fun listening to the creative process behind the pitch itself! ^_^ ...And sometimes it's *really* difficult to try to get everything you need in a condensed form. Ramblin' isn't inherently a bad thing.
---

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

...As a note, I don't actually want to trade anyone on my team. Karasu was the closest, but she kinda fits the pitch.

I'm willing to listen, mind, but still.

Fight
Mega Mana vs. MegamanX
Eddv vs. Scare
Lopen vs. Shaduln
NBIceman vs. Snake

Pitch
Mega Mana vs. MegamanX. ...I dislike how vague the pitch is, and the illogical part of me thinks it's partially a way to justify Cable, who I have a bit of a personal grudge against, and I stongly dislike Daken's existence. The team itself works well together, however, the roles you set for them make sense, and that... actually made me interested in the series.

Eddv vs. Scare ....Scare's team feels like it was built for it's two leads at the expense of it's supporting cast. *Like every Wolverine and Deadpool book* in the last two decades. The pitch is a disservice to the support, even though it's not intended as such.

Lopen vs. Shaduln
...I hate time travel. I very much despise time travel as a plot concept. That being said, I love the team itself. I honestly don't think Bishop needs Beast, and Hank sticks out like a big, furry blue thumb otherwise. AmazonX is a terrible name, and the concept is a bit too basic for my taste, although I genuinely like the roster a lot, and think they can do good things with the right author.

NBIceman vs. Snake This is largely because this is a book that feels like it was made with my interests in mind. I want this book to exist so I can buy it now. Even after saying that, this is rough, because I *love both teams in this match.* ...Other than the Apocalypse thing.
---

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

ANyway, was catching up onsleep, it's been.... kind of a rough week emotionally, napping whenever I can. And I am *extremely basic*, I don't really focus on the fights themselves, action isn'tone of those thing I put much thought into. Not to say I don't like good action, it's just not a priority for me. *I am also largely illogical at times.*

Fight
redrocket vs. banananor
Wicklebee vs. ChichiriMuyo
MartinFF7 vs. DeathChicken
Johnbobb vs. IhatethisCPU Legally can't vote. I genuinely adore Johnbobb's team and concept, although the Shaw thing brings someone else to mind. I can't place who, if I'm even remembering correctly or if I'm just making it up in my head, however.

Pitch
redrocket vs. banananor I appreciate the attempt beyond the team more. The end goal for the team, and start of the concept. The team name *sucks*, and it's a little... I don't think Cain and Emma can make a team work for a long period. Rocket X is.... it's a case where the book-mandated 'star power' in Peter and fucking Jean Grey drags the book down more than it's infinitely more interesting supporting cast brings it up. It doesn't help that their presence overshadows Laura, even though it's her book.

Wicklebee vs. ChichiriMuyo
...So I'm gonna say it right now, and you've heard this a lot already, but barring the name Spy Calibur-X is one of my favorite teams in this entire project. Excellent premise, excellent team, and a decent explanation for how it'd work altogether.

Please forgive me for saying this, the name doesn't help your team, Chichi. It's better than certain others in the project but it ticks bad generic 90's antihero memories in my head. The team isn't particularly interesting character-wise, but *battle strategy-wise* it makes sense. That's the only point for it, and it kind of feels like this team was built for the punching portion of the project.

MartinFF7 vs. DeathChicken
I like most of DC's team as individuals, and their interactions fit the title, and would make me somewhat interested in the book as a one-time thing. Martin's premise is more interesting, although I... can't see the team working together all that well. Good concept, against good team.

There are two things that push me towards Martin's team. One, I irrationally hate DC's team name, especially when there have been fantastic gal-centric teams that haven't be reduced to the Charlie's Angels idea before. And two, Doop's a bigger snitch than Cyclops is.

Johnbobb vs. IhatethisCPU
---

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

Ihatethiscpus pitch is more about characters he doesnt own instead, like a majority of it. Because of this John gets a win
XBL/PSN/:StingX2

No, they aren't *about* the characters that I mentioned earlier, and I don't understand where you got 'they couldn't even be referenced'. They're background characters, building blocks in the storyline, people the Vanishing has also happened to and a way to explain what's been happening, (And also none of them are characters in other teams in my block, which is partially why I namedropped them.) a way to explain how the team came to be, and why the characters would be involved in the team to begin with. I didn't mention most of the folk on them because of the limitations on the pitch itself as requested.

The story itself is centered around the Object Impermutants team, and how the events are effecting them.
---

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

My major concern with my concept is a simple one, and pretty much the only reason I'm pitching it as a 12 issue limited run. Kurt's solo books have never made it past issue 12, despite the fact that it's... *reasonably* safe to say that he's well-liked, yeah?

My basic thought process is start with the twelve issue run, if it sells well enough, if it gets enough interest part of the way, or the team in charge thinks 12 issues isn't time for it to cover what it needs to finish properly, then it can be *extended*. If my cynicism holds up, and I *really* hope I'm wrong, as I usually do, but if I'm not then it can have a proper conclusion... or a hook for future.

I might have been burned by too many series elsewhere being cancelled by lack of sales before they got a decent ending. @__@'

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

Honestly, the only team I've not particularly interested in is Xficient and that's just because I'm one of those people that doesn't really care for either Wolverine or Deadpool.
I think it's excess overexposure from the past three decades for Wolvie and Deadpool seemingly being everywhere recently. I know that's only me, though, and don't worry bout it. @___@'

---

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." Night Vale Radio

And, I know this is obvious, but our pitch can't directly effect any of the other teams, yeah? At one point I was contemplating the viability of a murder mystery, before SOMEONE took Jamie, and directly lead to my rejecting picking up Scott.

I figured something like that negatively effecting my team would be the only way that concept was acceptable.
