Thoughts on the project thus far

The pitch idea was great fun
The fight idea seemed tacked on and meaningless
Kinda sucked that we couldn't pick up free agents for what this was-- no matter how many rewrites you give a character's role I think some people just see a dude's inclusion in a team as a red flag and will ding you for it every time and if no one is interested in taking your guy then you sort of just eat that penalty

Were we ever to do something similar I'd prefer a slightly more in depth pitch voting and pitch formulation.

I like the idea of pitch categories to vote on as well as voting on strength of pitch. Things like marketability, overall team strength, how much the team composition leads itself to diversity in plots, etc. Little things that contribute to a pitch but don't necessarily dictate which pitch you personally like more.

I also like the idea of maybe giving roles to people in your team-- leader, major (central to the theme), minor (basically team filler-- may have character arcs for them sometimes but not necessarily going to be a big deal in most issues), supporting character (a character who is necessary to the plot and/or team formation but isn't necessarily considered a central team member for battles and such), etc. This would allow you to give some more depth to your team structure without bogging your pitch down with it. For instance if you had a benefactor that funded the team, they might be listed as a supporting character. It also lets you make your team artificially smaller by relegating people you have no particular vision for to minor/supporting roles. I dunno.

Not sure exactly how to structure all this and I'm not sure you even ever want to do it again but yeah just sorta rambling.

No problem!
