Hm...*counts* We have 3 players looking for one now, but there's also Castaras, but that was over a month ago, and looking at her sig I'm not sure if she'll be available for one.

Right, so, that's four. One more and I'll set something up. May as well start asking available players now:

What game type would you want? (Normal, Space, that Defender variant I posted on page 1?)

In addition, would you prefer a simple map or something with more special stuff on the map, such as the Soulshards from Insanowar 2 that allowed for a resurrection?

I'll need one more player if you guys decide to play my Defender variant. Otherwise I can always just set up a 4-player game, but you need an odd number for that particular variant.

Honestly, I'm inclined to drop the number off this one, since it's going to be a variant.

I'll send PMs when the thread's up and I've picked out the Defender.

Well, if you guys don't mind. I'll be glad to join as a second defender. That way it'd be 4vs2 teams.

It works out in my head, at least-two separate Defenders makes it less likely that the separate teams will swarm an individual one.

I'd prefer to play classic, if it's all the same to you two, and I have no opinion either way on the proposed rule.

Classics ok - I've never played, so I'm not sure which rule works better. I vote DM's choice.

Feel free to say 'PM you fool, you're being too overpowered and unfair!'

If I am

Not just randomly.

On that note, what's the upper limit of power for the choices?

Oh. Not randomly.

Damn.

The game host usually sets the power level. FWIW, I've found the higher the power level the less interesting it is to me as a bystander. You end up with god like beings resisting everything thrown at them.

*snerk*

Incidentally, I'd like to sign up.

...my plan involves Gilgamesh. The Fate/Stay Night one.

No, he will not use Ea at full power. I have little interest in destroying the world. ...I'll limit Ea use to what we've seen him pull in the anime.

And I'm for that rule. I had one thing in my Insanowar game where a guy got killed by something that he should have been able to regen from (Uliquorra Clifer has MASSIVE regen) before I got to do... anything with him.

When I specifically took low-powered choices with the other choices so him being on my side would be balanced. Yeah.

Okay, IF I were to run an insanowar game, and IF I were to say 'no anime allowed', would people want to play? Not there there is anything wrong with anime picks, but non-anime players and bystanders are often at a loss, especially when a team is almost all anime.

* Hopefully nobody takes this the wrong way. After all, an 'all anime' insanowar is also a perfectly valid theme that someone could run.

** Very big 'IF's

That wouldn't affect my core strategy. It would be mildly annoying, but dealwithable

Of course I think Robert Blackletter is running my game, so go for it :p
