Okay, so, I got the feeling some peeps had different ideas for teams rather than my suggestion, and Kray all but made spreadsheets and a powerpoint on character interactions. XD We could go just by how they've interacted, the setup of the test can base the teammaking on personal feelings of familiarity (I'll tell you now it'll revolved around a device a bit like the Scroll in RWBY, but in my opinion, much better integrated into how they'd do battle), but I don't think that's the only thing we should base stuff on. Mehbeh not necessarily just have things for teh drama-bahmbs, but it should definitely be people who challenge each other on certain levels. :/If you guys can have definite teams written out, besides writing out possibilities or saying your char is good with whoever, I can go with that. The most important thing is getting the teams matched up, and if the letter naming works, we'll go with that. If not, we'll figure something else out.

Honestly, I think you should assign the teams as you desire and see how the chips fall from their. I doubt their is anyone who would get outright stonewalled by any combination of players.

If it makes it easier: pair up players and then draw lots.

[ERode]

Mm, I feel like being Faunus is the new black.

[ERode]

Oh yeah, I feel like there should be conflict in the teams as well. It'd be nice if everyone wasn't super duper friendly. Maybe even...set up teams with people who don't know each other, so players can interact with ALL the other players.

Orion knows how to work it, gurl.

Also: I'm probably going to have Isaac play the silent role, unless anyone approaches him, at least until the events of the auditorium are done with.

[Nefarious Prime]

Yeah, guess I'll do it random then. Captain doesn't necessarily have to the be the first letter of the team, if we're able to go that route.

But I can still have small requests for team matching, if a few people are inclined. Does this mean that you guys are fine if all the Faunists aren't necessarily on one team with a Faunus captain? :P

[LimeyPanda]

I would be disappointed if they were not mixed up :P

[Krayzikk]

Truthfully, I'm not horribly picky about teams. And even if I did end up on one that didn't really work, I'd likely end up silent on the matter anyway, unless it was extreme. XD

That said, I feel that whatever teams are made should make some effort to nod towards how things have gone thus far. They're rather permanent, after all, and simply tossing out what's been done thus far doesn't really make sense to me.

So, I guess what I would ask is this; What possible methods for figuring teams are you thinking might be employed, Nefarious?

From there I can comment with my opinion. XD

EDIT: gah, ninjas

ninjas everywhere

[ERode]

Oh yeah, Rygar set a trap at the auditorium, right? So, you know, Lucius should post.....>.>

Nah, what makes ya think that?
Also, I really wish I had more to contribute, but I am a dumb, that and I'd rather just see what Nef has in mind anyway.
I'm really too lazy for my own good.

[RawrEspada4]

I'm cool with random or semi random teams, like I said before I like Daiki and KK and also Tirren.... so if Addica could end up with one of them that'd be awesome.. but I won't complain if not.

[22ice22]

All that is needed is a heavy hitter to keep the at enemies bay, so Tirren can effectively massacre things with his Semblance from afar other than that I'm cool with anyone else

[ERode]

Pshaw, you don't need a heavy hitter to keep enemies at bay. You just need a trap hole.

[22ice22]

That does sound easier

[Nefarious Prime]

Well, if the Faunists can be spread out, it should be easier to randomize the teams while keeping a few requested partnerships. I'll try not to make one with three other Fauna if I can help it, though. :P

And Asuras still needs a character then. If Caster still wants to leave, then The Loli should be a go for Hae. :P

Now, we have the map for the first test done, and can place the targets wherever we want. Do peeps want to have all the teams converge on the same place, or have to pick them up at random locations and meet up afterward? People can search the local in initial teams to pick up their targets after a small battle, and then separate to look for their permanent teams after that, with mehbeh battles in between. :P The setup will have the characters knowing where to go, so you won't be lost there. :P

[ERode]

Well...Asuras hasn't posted a CS, if I remember correctly...XD

And mind explaining the first map? Is there a public map drawing thing we can use, so we don't have to constantly upload new revisions of the map?

[Demous]

I dont really have an issue with that

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. Explain?

(I sent you my requests by PM, but to recreate them here for anyone who might be curious (#totallynotegotistical), I'd prefer a team that Alistair's on to have either Kiora, Arara or KK)

Jack is fond of a good trap hole:

[ERode]

I'm surprised she doesn't have a Digging Semblance.

[Krayzikk]

I prefer trap cards.
