Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
Aesthetically, 7 and 9 have some cachet, and you don't really hit another "cool" number until 13...

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
I'd have to disagree and argue for prime numbers XD
I'd suggest 11... or 13, opening some space for other folks!

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
I'm fine opening it up to more people. If 'Fortune favors the mortal man", I see no reason for any special particular number apart from 1 from each mortal "group" participating.

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
I like the Kami symmetry. Although with seven we could go with Fortune symmetry - Daikoku's champion is in for a rough time in the fight though
I feel like the Nezumi will be involved in the mission but they had their day of thunder already.

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
I really like this idea. But it seems none have gone for "others" yet? Perhaps due to fear of 11 losing to others?Doji Misaki wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 11:53 pmI'm fine opening it up to more people.

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
Yeah, it’s a little oddly configured because of the multiple moving parts to ask about. The “age of Man” vote is split three ways but the Nezumi vote can unite behind one candidate.
Fwiw I think 9 Thunders feels right thematically, but my second choice there would be to let an Imperial Thunder in (and no Nezumi).

Yeah... I voted for 10 Thunders. If Nezumi gets in, I would then go for every other race to gets one, too. Naga, Kitsu, Nyngio, Kenku, Zokujin, Troll, yadda, yadda.

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
I don't think we have good relations with all those others?
Anyway, I originally stuck my stick in with the +Nezumi but I do really like this "Age of Man" vibe too.

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
I'm pitching my vote for one per faction (with Nezumi). But again, I'd be totally on board for more slots.
And 13 does sound like a good number. I'd go with prime numbers, just because XD so if not 7, then 11 or 13!

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
I voted for 11. I see Nezumi as a difference because they are the only ones rocking an Empire. All the other races are asleep or scattered as the Nezumi were in original canon at this point.Hantei Kinsen wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 1:13 amYeah... I voted for 10 Thunders.

Re: General Poll: Number of Thunders
Also, a Nezumi helped rescue Hisomu, so they kind of already have a bigger role than in prior canon.
Plus, Jigoku using Yume-Do makes a Nezumi presence kind of... apt.

Nezumi also make sense due to yumedo connection imo.
