[Challenge]This is where I make my stand

[Kilgamayan]

I'm not objecting to doing something to shake up the hierarchy (but I thank you for pigeonholing my stance!). I'm objecting to inconsistency. This is a zero-risk, high-reward situation for Baka, an opportunity literally no one else has ever had before, and one people are going to start pointing at in the future, going "well why don't I get this?".

I'm perfectly fine with Baka getting to skip the IP step and go straight to the IM challenge - but he has to put something of his own on the line. And no, taking away the IP he got fifteen minutes ago is not a punishment.

I think Kilga's point was that IP was pretty much just handed to you for your sheer brazenness, while normally it's earned somehow, so part of the counterbalance would be a penalty of sorts. And personally, I think it makes it more challenging and more fun if there's something extra at stake.

And I agree with Ruro that the point of this is fun. I'm just glad to see something happening in the IH.

But alas, you're only peeps on the interwebs, what can you do?
Ban him? Too harsh.
Take away his title? So what?

Dude, this should totally be the theme song of this challenge. Totally.

[nintendonut888]

I think IP is too hard to "earn" normally anyway, so anyone with a mind to shake up the stagnant hierarchy should be welcome to try.

[Kilgamayan]

Actually, now that I think about it, why am I complaining about this when I can just tack on extras of my own?

I am hereby adding the stipulation that, should Baka lose, he will be stripped of IP AND Unfunnied for three days.

OK, sorry for misreading you.

[UncertainJakutten]

THERE we go Kilga! NOW we're relivin' the old days! Fuck yeah!

[Hello Purvis]

I got no problems with Kilga's add-on.

But it applies to Theorist, too.

I have to disagree with this - just be your normal awesome self.  We had like 20 IPs a little while ago.

That was in response to Ruro, not you. :V

For accepting a challenge and losing?

Well it was the risk of accepting I guess?

Let's not get into technicalities and have fun with all th-

Oh yeah...

Unfunny eh? Sounds like a food item to me. Can we eat unfunny?

Oh goddammit Suikama :V

You're welcome. <3 But really, stop dragging the fun stuff down with technicalities. Goes against the spirit of the Hierarchy. And besides, the rules were always a little ambiguous when it came to IPs and repeat challengers. At least we've got it out of the way.

As for the stipulation, I wanted to leave it to Purvis to decide, and now that he has, it's all cool. I don't like Unfunny being reduced to a card to play when it's supposed to be a legitimate punishment, though-- maybe something a bit more entertaining, but I don't know what, exactly. Hmm.

I could always do a strip tease instead.

A posting condition that must be followed for a week or they get Unfunnied.

Something good, but I'm not original, so someone else will have to come up with something.

Fakeedit: Yuugen-Magan x Toyohime, still OTP.

YES! Axman and I wrote brief fanfics of this. And we PROVED that it COULD work. Although I wrote that Yuugen-Magan had the hots for the 5 magic stones... Oh well.

I can't help but notice this comes from the person who got awarded SJ recently. My qualm is how "awesome" is entirely up to the staff. But this probably isn't the place for my gripes, so let us speak no more of it.

Fighto Theorin! I'm rooting for you!

Eirin x Konngara is the one OTP.

[Moerin]

Loser must make all of their posts for the rest of the week in Nadsat or be Unfunnied for the rest of the week +some number of days.

...Or not, ahah.  Just an idea, my little droogies.

[Kilgamayan]

I would have "stopped dragging down the fun with technicalities" except I was not finding this fun in the slightest as it was presented after Theorist accepted the challenge. So I modified it so I could have fun as well. ;\

I admit Unfunny was borne of a lack of creativity and would not object to some other, more creative punishment. I must voice displeasure with Theorist being subject to the same exact punishment for losing that Baka is given Theorist is already putting something on the line, but I'll take what I can get at this point.

[Tengukami]

Loser must make a verifiable reference to a Stanley Kubrick film - but never the same film twice - in every post they make for a week after the challenge or be Unfunnied for 3 days?

[Solais]

I'm of course supporting my new favorite annexed country, Moerin!
