[Mr. Game & Watch]

Hello all,

To start off this poll-a-palooza, I would to announce I have returned. Sort of. Don’t call it a comeback, I call it a ‘finishing up the stuff I abandoned because I got the crazy idea of writing a book’, as we all get from time to time no doubt. Does this mean I am back for good? I dunno, for now I’ll be tying up my current plot lines that have been just sort of sitting around for a little while and believe me there’s still a couple future plot ideas that I’ve made a while back that can still be implemented sometime in the future. I won’t be assuming command either, so right now Quote is still the supreme commander until Shadow makes his next entrance.

Anyhoo, onto the actual title of this thread. The biggest plot line that I dumped onto the shoulders of Coolio was of course Gang Wars, the three act storyline that has been around the site for upwards to three years by now (probably more to be honest). And if you have no idea what that plotline is about, hello member that joined during my hiatus! Anyway, if you could spare a weekend to reading up the backstory then that’s good on my part because I don’t have to summarize the events for you. If you are unwilling to do that (I don’t judge you, frankly I wouldn’t go back and read all that stuff either) I will do something to condense the story down and give you a rough retelling of it all. You could also check out the critically acclaimed Gang Wars: Origins, “I’ve been loving Gang Wars: Origins” –Kashkey 2015 (he said something like that at some point in time, I dunno).

So, in order to re-instate this event, I’m looking for your opinion on how we should move on with it, if at all. Because your opinion is very precious to me, but more importantly I am an incredibly indecisive individual. I have come up with four options (excluding just ditching it completely), the first being to just move on to the big battle, the second is to continue where we left off and just shove new character into the roles of old characters that are no longer around, third we reboot all the missions and restart proper, or lastly take the idea and completely revamp it with new missions and stuff (probably the option with the most amount of work, so if you really hate me pick this one).

That’s all for now.

I'm going to vote to restart the missions for the following reasons:

1. I feel like skipping to the final battle would defeat the purpose of having an event. It's the journey, not the destination, y'know?

2. The previous characters did not get far and it would be awkward continuing where they left off continuity wise. Like, everyone would vanish and new people would take their place. That level of awkward.

3. I don't like making Mr. Game & Watch do extra work.

I agree with Mari, getting the old missions done is what matters, though it be best to start them entirely from scratch so nothing seriously OP goes on, especially that Zekrom fusion bolt spam I did the last time, I am embarrassed just thinking about it.

And I feel that there should be more than you shouldering this burden Mr. Game & Watch, I feel that all staffers work together and make the event more exciting, as Ganondorf still wants to show Bowser a thing or two after that death battle they had back then.

I agree, we should redo the old missions, at least we're tying up loose ends with the gang wars now.

Let's restart but not make you do a ton of work!

I have no objections on restarting on one condition: Tingle is used as a NPC on the off chance I shelve him mid mission since he clearly remembers being on King K's team and also due to me not feeling up to RPing him.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The extra work would’ve pretty much amounted to creating new missions that would affect the main battle, which would’ve taken a lot of plotting, so avoiding that was very nice.

As for this being a burden, I wouldn’t so much as put it as that. Not to mention that every other staff member already has threads of their own to deal with whereas I have none, meaning that my focus will only be on the event itself, so while the first few weeks of it might be a load to keep up with, it wouldn’t be anything outside of what I have handled before. So, that’s not an issue. Also, Bowser and Ganondorf will have their time no doubt.

Lastly, I suppose I can insert Tingle where need be.

Now that that matter’s settled, time to put this to bed.
