The Official Avalanche Party Thread

[Rye]

That's... magical.

Here is mine!

Eyes on Final Fantasy has too many staff members. Discuss.

This is indeed true. I feel that when EoFF flourished the most, to me, was when there was a semi-frequent change of staff members. For some time, staff members served for a year or two, and then left, feeling that they wanted to give up their role to someone else who wanted it more. They were then replaced by new qualified members who wanted to serve. This most successful because you not only get fresh insights from different members, but the majority of the staff is made up of members who are active and do their staff duties.

Now, of course, there are many old time members on staff that we begin to see as almost permanent, even though they really don't, if I dare say it, do much. They're not active. I know no one wants to say it, but to be entirely honest, if they do care about EoFF, they would want to see more dedicated members to push the forum forwards in their place.

I feel that, though it will cause a bit of strife, staff needs to be circulated, to allow for new views, fresh ideas, and far more vivid participation.

Imagine your rich uncle WarrenW has died and has left you Eyes on Final Fantasy in his will. You decide that you will change the staff. Pick 8 admins and 10 Cid's Knights. (you can pick existing CKs and admins if you like) You can explain your picks if you wish.

Cid's Knights:

Flying Mullet
Miriel
Psychotic
RubyLapiz
theundeadhero

I kept the above CK's because of their activity and their all around participation in most forums.

Heath
Cz
Levian
Rantzien
kikimm

Because they are open-minded and participate quite a lot/have been becoming a lot more active lately. They are full of great ideas and are easy to approach and enthusiastic.

Admins:

Cid
ShlupQuack
Loony BoB
Del Murder
crono_logical
o_O
Samuraid
Behold_The_Void

Here's my submission for the KH part:

stuff

Get your filthy hands off of my town. Especially since you forgot about the sequel, the Wrath of Lezza and Baloki-kins.

Shame on you, Mulleybear, shame on you.

[Fate Fatale]

I really liked yours, Rye. It was sweet and actually made sense. I hope you win.

EDIT: Just read Silverwind's entry. It was SO AMAZING! If we don't win I'll.... be very upset.

[SilverWind]

Thank you, thank you. *bows*

That's a very nice and sensible entry, Rye. I support you all the way!

[Rantz]

Awesome work, guys!

Here's the original song and the karaoke version I used.

Also, lyrics:

It's early morning
Bunny logs out
Baloki's chatting
Is pretty loud
scrumple is posting
Vermachtnis too
There's nothing wrong
With another noob
SilverWind is hungry
Laddy as well
They're summoned both by
TSoL
Yaridovich VM's
with Samuraid
They've got to leave
There's a new newbie thread!

Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche

GHF is burning
Fate Fatale shouts
"Arc_Master's coming
To put the fire out!"
A welcoming team is
At Jim's command
"From now on", Rantzien says
"No more will be banned!"
NeoTifa is dancing
IronOcean has to go
Mullet is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
He has a date tonight
With Quina Quen!

Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
In a trance, surfing on an Avalanche
Time for change, surfing on an Avalanche

It's early morning
Someone logs in
Tonight she's aiming
For epic win
You hear her purring
But she's no lolcat
She's wearing a tailcoat
And a high top hat
The staff is calling
She starts to walk
A newbie calls out
She lets him talk
He asks her, "Miss President,
How did you win?"
He gets the answer
As Rye she sings:

Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche (are you ready, BoB?!)
Here we are, surfing on an Avalanche
In a trance, surfing on an Avalanche (log on, log off, log on, log off, log on)
Time for change, surfing on an Avalanche

Avalanche!

[NeoTifa]

sorry, i didnt hold up on my part. im really busy

[Rye]

That is okay!

Thank you everyone who has submitted, these have been all fantastic! We still have a few hours, so anyone who'd like to do a last minute submission is definitely encouraged to, especially as the two remaining, Reference and Quickening, are the more easier ones to complete.

I would do Quickening, but I already did a task, and I did my presidential task. ;; I really wanted to draw a sexy Quina...

[NeoTifa]

XD i had the aeris pose already in my head, but quina im confused on

[Madame Adequate]

As future First Lady, I'm going to have to step back into the breach and provide emergency coverage for dear Rye. (And even with just five minutes of prep, I'm more prepared than our rivals!)

Thus, without further ado, here is my contribution for the Reference part.

Reference

What was the best party in EoFF Elections history? (Shinra and Avalanche are not yet in that forum, so you can't pick them!) Feel free to tell us why!

The best party in EoFF history is boris no no's Fluffy Pink Party. You can tell this just from the name! Their platform consists of something very dear to my heart, I assume - the enforcement of Fluffy Puff as the only skin available for Eyes on Final Fantasy. I don't know what their platform really is because the text in the OP is pink too and I can't really be bothered highlighting it to read, but it's good to get people used to the vagaries of Fluffy Puff.

What change would you like to see implemented at Eyes on Final Fantasy, either on the front site or the forums? Explain the reasons for this.

Well on the frontsite side of things I think there should be a short daily poem. It would be from any poet at all! Just as long as it wasn't too long. I think this would really bring up both the happiness and intellectualism of EoFF. People would feel satisfaction from reading the words of the greats, as well as being encouraged to think about the poems and discuss them.

As for the forums, I would like to see, as you well know, Fluffy Puff as the only existing forum skin. I think this would make the forum a much happier, friendlier place, because people would have such a pleasant background to look at instead of that dull blue or that awful brown. How can such dark colors not sperad darkness into the minds of a forumgoer? Psychologically, brighter colors are a far better choice. If everyone used Fluffy Puff the forum would be a better place. Can you imagine the joy that would be spread, the love that would radiate throughout the forum, like it was being given unto us by an Iraqi with a used uranium rod?

[Fate Fatale]

That is okay!

Ehhhh, I'd do it but I can't draw in paint and my scanner is.. gone. I seriously don't know what happened to it. We still have time yes? Perhaps I'll... edit some pictures.
That way we'll at least have SOMETHING to submit... This is going to be horrible. :P

EDIT:

Here they are... They're... amazing!

Presenting: Aeris!


Presenting: Quina!


Tidus' Death:


P.S. I don't have photoshop either, so paint had to do... They look quite nice if you ask me.

[SilverWind]

So that's what Quina's been hiding under all of those coats!

Quina's never looked so fine...! (assuming she's a lady, of course...)

[Rantz]

At this point I am going to relax the rules and say people can contribute to more than one section, and add an additional 24 hour extension. Let's get this done.

Since we can now do multiple categories, I'll do Nerds in Paradise. No one has taken that yet, right?

Okay, I'm done:

Most sexually attractive character
The sexiest entity of Final Fantasy I-VI, and quite possibly one of the sexiest of all time—only slightly edged out by Quina Quen—is without a shred of doubt the slimy, slippery Octomammoth.



Just take a gander at that beauty. The seductive and carefully colour-coordinated pattern. The little kissable boob-like suckers on his underbelly that want to suck you in and taste every inch of you. The intense eyes that are so easy to get lost in as he wraps his eight loving arms around you, intending to hold you all night long. That should be enough for you to surrender yourself completely to his will—and trust me, you will be taken care of. Octomammoth means love times eight.



Dream party of five
Nerds in paradise, indeed. For what could be yearned for higher than the ability to cross-combine your own party from the vast array of characters that makes up Final Fantasy I-VI? Apart from a real life Rydia to, er, practise spells on, not much!

Gau


Gau is sure to lighten up every minute of screen time he is given. He is also one of the most flexible characters throughout the series (ability list plz), making him a bit of a wildcard, but an extremely useful wildcard who fits into every party imaginable.

Rydia


HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA. :tpg:

Tellah


Father of one of the FF series' most infamous quotes, Tellah is a boost to any party. Apart from being a comical character with one of the greatest beards to ever have graced a video game with its presence, he is truly fearsome in his dedication to a cause and a very useful addition to the party with his strong spells in the early phases of the game.

Joseph


nowait

Joseph


Joseph, the first character to (SPOILER)DIE in a Final Fantasy, is totally super awesome. Like totally. He fights with bare fists which makes him more of a badass than Clint Eastwood and the fact that he (SPOILER)DIES brings him up to Samuel L. Jackson level. Did I also mention that he (SPOILER)DIES? Pretty awesome.

And, last but certainly not least:

Fighter


Because he's just such a hunk!

[Election Booth]

Can anyone point me in the direction of your Smell of Fear task?

[Rantz]

Finished The Smell of Fear.

Seems like Laddy has it! I've sent him a PM asking him to post it, but I don't know when he'll read it.

[Laddy]

My entry for the smell of fear is this...

'I think a more fast-paced, yet strategic battle system would fighting game-esque combos would be fun. I would absolutely love for the game to be more open-ended. I love the concept of a Relationship System, not unlike Tales of Symphonia, in which characters' possibilities of love/life/death/fufillment is decuded upon your own actions.

A class system like FFIX makes each character seem more unique, so I want a system in which classes actually exist. Whoether they're predetermined or not matters not to me.

Minigames need a point, please. Don't get me wrong, Blitzball and Tetra Master are great, but I like it to be of more significance to the story, though not a major liability to the main gameplay.

I also believe many would like more nonhuman characters. Discovering new cultures and races in FF and other science fiction/fantasy games are totally intriguing and give the game a more whismical feel.

These are my suggestions and I hope you find them to be enjoyable like I do.

Thanks.
