Poll Sig Immunities (Location vs Style)

[Kalanyr]

A discussion about this here: (Feel free to add to it in this thread or the other)

http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32991

As I see it there are 3 options

Option 1: Change Styles so that they do the same as Locations currently (-1 damage). This requires changing holy day (to normal initiative) and sneaky tricks (remaing the same making up for its slightly lesser weight) , and making the two spirit powers equally strong to balance light and dark.

Option 2: Change Locations so they do the same as styles currently (immunity) This requires changing sneaky tricks to always going first (if they and holy day come into competition highest ranked goes last) , and making the two spirit powers equally strong to balance light and dark. Pure Spirit should be slightly weaker than Foul Spirit in this setup to make up for a sleight lack of weight to Sneaky Trick.

Option 3: Leave things as they are.

Again, just a reminder to those reading this that any poll on the rules needs at least half of the current players participation to be valid so please vote.

/me gets out his YB player registry and checks who's active. (I haven't counted anyone who has not posted related to YB in a month in the count)

? Indicates either just out of the time limit I placed or sudden disappearance.

The number of players I am certain are active is 24, so we need 12 votes for a valid poll.

Edit - Counted z_mystic.

Can Meowth get a 'Hell Ya'?

Meowth will support either Option 1 or 2, whichever the majority go for.

Meowth does favor attempts to remove the need for initiative in the game however.

Bumpity. This poll still awaits the opionions of at least 9 currently active players. If you have no opinion on this could you post so we have an accurate tally please?.

 

[MidKnight]

Change style from immunity to simply -1. Remove the need to go first to use holy day and remove the need to go last to use sneaky trick. (Always hated that anyways - I seemed to remember a a fight where I couldn't use any of my powers because I always had to go first...)

Leave in the need to go first in order to use Chi Strike. I'm sure that there are other things that would need to be done to make this work, but I'm sure that with time and some other minor changes it could happen.

 

[Creamsteak]

I think that things like Chi strike should only be useful when you go first, but there shouldn't be any way to manipulate initiative.

I also think the polls should get re-started, since so many ideas have been thrown around.

 

[Kalanyr]

I think this is everyone thats going to vote on this poll voted. (No votes in about a week)

 

[Kalanyr]

The winner seems to be:
Option 2: Change Locations so they do the same as styles currently (immunity) This requires changing sneaky tricks to always going first (if they and holy day come into competition highest ranked goes last) , and making the two spirit powers equally strong to balance light and dark. Pure Spirit should be slightly weaker than Foul Spirit in this setup to make up for a sleight lack of weight to Sneaky Trick.

Seems the question now is how to deal with Pure Spirit/Foul Spirit since in its current form its way stronger than the slight lack of weight to Sneaky Trick in this setup, any suggestions?

For those that doubt the usefulness of the Foul Spirit/weakness of Pure Spirit, tell me: Would you accept a 3 flag speed match at Tier 5 ?

These powers can literally force you into this situation.
