Your thoughts on an idea

I posted this in Fite Yer' Mates, but I deleted it because I'm not sure if it's a good idea. What do ya'll think?

"I have... another IDEA!!!

November 1st is my birthday, and it will fit into the Final Fites week. I thought we should do something unique that day, something that will probably never happen again!

A collaborative fite!

For whoever two guys are fiting, we'll have multiple writers! Each writer will write a post, passing on the their part and anyone who came before them's post to the next guy.

For Example:

Bob writes post one. Sends to Jerry.
Jerry writes post two. Sends post one and two to Kelly.
Kelly writes post three. Sends post one, two, and three to Harriet.
Harriet writes post four. Sends post one, two, three, and four to me!
I write the end KO post, draw Gezora image. Can draw other images if the others can't draw.

The fite we'd write together would be public in its competitors and for voting, but the authors would PM me in secret! I will need the people sworn to secrecy, so the others have no idea how long it is, even those in the collaboration! You PM me if you want in, and I'll assign you you're position in the chain.

I'll tell you who to pass it onto, and when you are done writing it you send it. The others shall pass theirs on and the other posts from earlier in the chain. This sounds complicated because it is! But I think you get the gist.

I need writers willing to write one post for a bigger project. Don't apply if you don't think you can handle it! We'll need to be on around the same time of course on fite night, and I'd like some pictures for your post if possible.

Also, we need fiters for it! Who wants to be in this overly complicated thing?"

  1. This would be a very interesting idea if we had more people. As it is, either almost everybody knows how the fite goes, or the chain is like three guys long.

    Another issue is that if nobody knows how long it is, nobody can do any drastic things in the fite like people taking serious damage or losing their weapon. What if, say, Spy loses his knife but there's three updates left to go? What does he do? It kind of leaves both guys to beat on each other ineffectually for five updates before the last guy finally makes one of them win.

    It could work, but it might need some tuning.

  2. Ah, just thought of something else. Since this fite, by its very nature, would be longer than a normal fite, the subject should be a fite that seems more "important" than the other fites. My candidates for that based on the fites we have lined up now are Jaxx/Sister Alice, Saberwulf/Designate, and maybe Zephyrus/Biollante, due to the power levels/historical importance involved.
