Hey guys, just wanted to apologize about not replying frequently lately. Been kinda busy with a project and won't be done for awhile but I'll still try to post twice or so a day.

@Crimson Lion Well I'd like to go ahead and get over to the tournament if its not an inconvenience to anyone. We have a player incapable of posting until then it seems.

@Crimson Lion@Renny

I kind of agree. Maybe you guys could have your conversation in brief and then we skip forward? I don't think there's anything important for Sousuke to contribute in this particular scene anyway and right now we're making Dezuel wait as it is.

@Renny@Double
Yeah thats fine. I'll change my post and just skip to the tournament.

Ok so I fixed the post and now we're at the practice tournament arc. @Dezuel It's time for you to shine!!!!

Sadly I wont be able to post til sunday 09.00 gmt+1 . Please bear with me

So, this is basically Keiichiro right now:

@Crimson Lion@Double Sorry about the hold up guys. I caught a bad case of writer's block today.

@Double What do you think about Rennys suggested name?

@Renny@Crimson Lion

I like the meaning behind it, but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue very well when spoken out loud, does it? xD I can't think of anything better so why not?

@Double I thought about that too lol. But I figured it was better than nothing. If one of you thinks of something better we can change it later.

Team paradox?

Team paradox?

We're only allowed to use that name if we agree to start writing our dialogue in rhyme. <_<

Team discord?

@Dezuel I forgot to mention that Lisa isn't apart of Ichikawa, she's actually apart of Nobuya. I gotta add that into her Bio.

@Crimson Lion@Double@Dezuel Alright guys so heres the little explanation I devised for Lisa and her presence. She is the substitute coach/mentor of the team while Chiaki Naomi is the leader. At the same time she is also Nobuya Academy's ace gunpla battler-which is obviously a big thing there. Meaning in bigger tournaments she will most like be participating on the team. For now, we can just assume that Lisa came of her own volition and Chiaki was the natural selection to guide the group.

I make little confusions like this one some kind of quirk of hers.

@Renny So Natsu assumes that Tsukasa is the strongest member? I mean, she's the smartest, sure, but that doesn't automatically make her the most powerful battler either. There's also the fact that Keiichiro is the team leader for a reason, if she was the actual strongest then what's stopping her from taking over as Captain?

@Double Well in our group Nanashi is the weakest but is captain because he made the group.

@Crimson Lion Also a valid point. But consider that I only ever use the term "strategist" to describe Tsukasa. I've always written characters with the assumption that Strategists and Tacticians were two completely different things. Essentially, Tsukasa is a Strategist, but Keiichiro is a Tactician.

Strategist: Tends to look at the big picture and makes long term plans based on said big picture. They plan, they calculate, and they usually set things in motion from behind the scenes.

Tactician: Rather than focus on the big picture, they'll zoom in on one specific goal or objective and then find whatever ways they can think of to achieve that objective. They may not always plan or even calculate, but they do think on the fly and can make judgement calls in the heat of battle.

It also comes back to the difference between being smart and being clever... or Intelligence vs Wisdom to put it in D&D terms. Tsukasa is smart (high Intelligence) but Keiichiro is clever (high Wisdom).

At any rate, there really isn't meant to be an objectively "strongest" member in Team Chaser. They're more like equals, skilled and useful in their own ways and in their own areas of expertise. Well anyway, it's not important in the grand scheme of things.

@Double True. But that's how Natsu viewed her. Seemed like she'd be more difficult to deal with, so he just chose her. Strongest was how he viewed her as a challenge.
