TALK - It looks like my summer vacation is… Over.21:46, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
Roxas's Symbol small.pngHey everyone. Redeemer and Destroyer came up with this idea, but I'm suggesting it on his behalf. As many users know, the Final Fantasy Wiki has the Dragon's Neck Colosseum, essentially a popularity contest between characters, as voted by users. I believe that we are long overdue for such a competition on our wiki. I, Redeemer&Destroyer, and ZACH have prepared a prototype based on the Dragon's Neck Colosseum, called the "Mirage Arena (to keep in with the BBS theme.), found here. Another tentative logo for the Mirage Arena is here. However, as to not make ourselves a complete copy of the FFWiki, we also have come up with the idea of a tournament. After four months of "Battles", we compile the winners (Which would be 16, one for every week) into a 15-day tournament called the "Joint Struggle", akin to GameFaq's character battle. Every day, a new pairing of contenders will be voted upon, the winner continuing to the next round. This would happen in the first 15 days of the month. The next 15 days would be dedicated to selecting characters and matchups for the next four months. The contenders could be anything from characters (Disney, original) to Worlds, to Keyblades. Please leave your thoughts in the section below.

EDIT 16:36, July 5, 2010 (UTC):A tentative list has been drafted for the first four months of "battles". There are four categories, Characters (Disney, Final Fantasy, KH originals), Worlds, Weapons (Keyblades, Shields, etc.), and Enemies (Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed). The list is as follows:

  1. Sora vs. Riku
  2. Land of the Dragons vs. Olympus Colosseum
  3. Kingdom Key vs. Kingdom Key D
  4. Neoshadow vs. Dusk
  5. Cid vs. Pence
  6. Hollow Bastion vs. Radiant Garden
  7. Buster Sword vs. Chakrams (Eternal Flames)
  8. Dustflier vs. Leechgrave
  9. Axel vs. Saix
  10. Space Paranoids vs. Port Royal
  11. Knight’s Shield vs. Axe Sword (Skysplitter)
  12. Guard armor vs. Trinity Armor
  13. Donald vs. Zexion
  14. End of the World vs. The World that Never Was
  15. Omega Weapon vs. Ultima Weapon
  16. Samurai vs. Morning Star

Now, before anybody looks at the 12th battle and says "The trinity armor is a BBS enemy! It's a spoiler!", please note that that is the twelfth battle. If we were to start next week, that battle would take place the week of September 26, 2010, a good few weeks after the release of Birth By Sleep, so please don't complain about that.

Please leave any questions or concerns below.

EDIT 03:07, July 7, 2010 (UTC): It has also been decided that, if a contender was in the previous round of the Mirage Arena, He/She/It cannot be used in the next round (Kind of like Featured Media votes.). However, he/she/it can be in the round after.

For example, Sora and Riku are in the first battle of this round. Regardless of who wins and loses, both cannot be used in the next round, but can be used in the round after that. Also, we should probably try to stay away from repeats of battles, so Sora vs. Riku won't be used again for a long time (at least) after this, if at all.

Symbol Character - Mickey.png
FA icon.png I put Donald in there because Donald has pretty much a share in Ven's story, and even if he doesn't appear as regularly as in the other games, he's still a BBS character. Also, there is no CGI for Eraqus...

Well, for one thing, you probably shouldn't propose ideas on major holiday weekends when said admins are likely to be out-of-town and/or busy. ^_-

I personally like the idea, especially the tournament brackets. I think it's quite fun, so long as it stays well-run and doesn't get out of hand; that shouldn't be a problem, though, considering the model you guys are working from. I do think it should be limited wiki regulars (perhaps 100 quality mainspace edits at least?), so we're not spammed by outside sources trying to get their hunky bishie of the month to win. The only other suggestion I'd have is watch the spoilers until BBS comes out, but the only one on your current list I can see that being an issue for is Radiant Garden, so that might not really be a big deal.

Any way, those are my two munny. The other admins should be around soon to give their imput, I'd imagine.

"What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 02:46, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Isa_bbs.png I don't think the edit count is a good idea, especially for those of us without much to edit. I guess that's an incentive to edit, although I don't own a KH game and can only do Wiki Gnome work ._.

Vsymbol.png I agree, Kate ^^ But I don't think you have to have 100 quality edits to be a "wiki regular"... we know who the regulars around here are.

Well, that could partially be solved by removing the anonymous votes, which i find tedious. KKDf51ce887-d120-4b89-8cff-afbff03976aa_zps7f114bcc.png

Roxas's Symbol small.pngEDIT CONFLICTHold on. I just thought of something... We may want to do drive forms in battles too, or possibly even Items, such as SSIC vs. Paopu fruit. I suppose drives could be counted as characters or weapons, and items could be without a category, just randomly thrown in and one of the regulars gets taken out. Thoughts?
DaysXemnas.png
LapisScarab - Xemnas (card).png You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? Nobody.png
TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had?
Interdiction KHD.png There could be a separate category for forms, since a lot of characters have them (Mummy Form, etc). If not, then I'd think of the Drive forms more as weapons/tools, since they're used to improve combat.

KingdomKeyDarkside - Sora, you're lucky.
TALK - It looks like my summer vacation is… Over.03:57, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
Roxas's Symbol small.pngI'd think we should divide it at Drive forms as weapons, and character forms/outfits (mummy, KHI/KHII Sora etc), as sub-divisions of characters, which can be pitted against each other or other character's forms. Which leaves another question, should characters' forms (Donald's mummy form, for example) be pitted against regular characters (without or out of alternative forms, not including the character's regular form), such as Mummy Donald vs. Larxene? To me, these battles seem kinda trivial, and will probably be avoided.
