The nominations. Ugh. The nominations.
I don't want to restrict perfectly good characters. But I don't want us to spend even more days giving characters scores below a percent of chance.
I don't really have a set rule for what character is a waste of a day and what isn't. For the most part, just use your common sense. But I've tried to come with a few criteria just to help you along.
<-------This is how I'm feeling about the noms right now.
So please, I ask of you. Rate characters that fulfill at least the majority of the following criteria:
1) They generally interest you. You're not exactly certain how well they'll do, and you'd like to find out.
2) They have a chance of doing well. You think they can muster at least at least a 5%. This applies less to third-party characters, but still keep it in mind.
3) The character isn't obscure. Please, let's not have another day where everyone says, and I quote, "Who's that? Both 0's."
4) The character isn't random. Don't just pluck a random, though well known, character out of nowhere. Examples are Omastar and The Postman (Zelda).
5) The character is actually capable of fighting. They don't have to be a "fighter," per se, but arms and legs are definitely a plus, you know?
6) Don't nominate a character just to try to spite me or the other people playing the game. Seriously, this may result in penalties if it starts happening.
Give it two or three weeks. Once more potential characters have been voted upon, I will reopen nominations on "less likely characters." In other words, I will remove the above criteria.
Thanks for sticking with me. I'm trying to make the game as enjoyable for everyone as it can be. I had over a dozen complaints about Sandbag; people don't enjoy rating random and obscure characters. I know you like nominating whoever you want, so that will be the case once we've gotten farther along in the game.
Groose: Just noticed, there really should just be a link to this for Toon Link:
Wind Waker Symphonic Movement
SSBF did the music section for Toon Link. Don't worry though; it's a good suggestion and I've added it! I should know it's a good suggestion; I just saw it in concert for the second time last week
Now, I have a question about the nominations. Being as I'm a forum noob, I'm not entirely sure how it works. Is there a finite pool of people we can select from to nominate, such as the list on the first page? Or could I nominate just some new character not listed on the front page?
Technically you can nominate anyone. However, recently we've had a few characters that have irked the community... so don't nominate anyone who's obscure or who doesn't have a chance in hell. You may want to check out the above criteria, which will soon be added to the nominations page.
DAY OVER
