The Holy Schlock War Thread

I would love it if Rider won since everyone kills everyone else and then he just one v ones the last guy

How long does each Discussion phase last before we choose someone to set the condition for the next roll, btw?

Until there's about 12-14 hours with no activity. Was mad busy yesterday, so I just kinda passed out last time.

If people want to pass along who they think gets the discussion crown and CC, we're good to close it out

frigix

[Baron Magnus]

a lot of good points around. I think I'm gonna vote for the crown to go to Des. He seems to have a good bead on everyone's servants.

[Serra]

Not a lot of votes so far, maybe better ditch the voting phase from the game's ruleset? Anyway, I'll go with Des as a tiebreaker - btw, Ioved the vn screen, thanks

[Vididii]

Probably a good idea lmao, too structured, we'll just choose from whoever pipes up about having a condition next time. I'll contact Des for his CC

[Spammin Spiff]

Sorry for the delay, I was busy yesterday. Richthofen for the win. He seems like the kind of servant who would be able to win against the odds.

[Vididii]

I agree, love the homie Rickie, always adore Riders.

[Frigix]

I would go for Archer though if I could vote for a second servant it would defenitly be Rider

[DelRey]

wait, who do we vote? the winning servant or the one with the most interesting interpretation of how the war will take place?

I believe the latter in this phase, but it doesn't seem like most people got that. Another factor in favour of abolishing this voting phase, perhaps.

At the end of each Discussion Phase, a “winner” will be chosen via public opinion in the thread (dunno about voting, I almost feel as if that’s too structured- we’ll play it by ear for now) based on who put forth the most entertaining scenario.

[Baron Magnus]

To be fair this whole thread was experimental. I think the beginning phases are down and its the end phases that need ironing out. That said... as much as I like the idea of narrative winning out I think it only makes sense that the grail war winner is the 'winner'.

That said I'd say people voting for narrative should be encouraged.

That said I agree in that Rider is probably going to win. Quite literally no one has a counter to his stuff except maybe my Robin Hood but my Robin Hood is definitely getting undercut by Hearst... ergo, naturally, Rider wins.

I'm fine with this, thoughts?

[DesReploid]

I think it makes sense.
I'd also concur with Magnus that it's more fun to vote based off of narrative. If we didn't we could pretty much just boil everything down to taking two glances at the letters in a Servants stats and their NPs and crown a winner from there. Doesn't seem as fun.

I have a small suggestion, though, a brain fart that came to me a little bit ago. Would it be sensible to ask everyone whose Servant got picked to write out a little bit about how they believe their own Servant would act? Just a quick post detailing general actions or opinions on the competiton that can be as detailed as they want. I feel like this just might help actually spin a cohesive narrative, no?

Something like that would also naturally tend to turn into a narrative itself, though, wouldn't it?

well akes sense i would agree with that honestly in to evaluate how their servants far in that situation though how if we also vote the next time for a location were the Grailwar is held ?

[Vididii]

I think we could find a compromise- what about (y'know, if they want) if they just post a little thing on their servant's standard grail war demeanor? Like, basic plan of action.


Also, Des has supplied me with a fantastic little condition, so Opt-In/Out period is open for the next 12-ish hours! If you've already got your Comp. in, and want it to stay that way, you don't need to say anything.

Also, would you all like DesReploid's war clause now, or then, when I roll?

This is also more or less what I meant. Asking everyone whose Servant got picked to write a whole narrative about how they believe the war would pan out would be way too much I think, and take a whole lot of time. Instead, just detailing general plans, possible ideas the Servant would have, maybe even what their general opinion of their competitors could look like would be helpful to constructing a proper narrative.
