Alright, here’s the list of items that are going to be playtested over the next week or so:
Sandbag, Food, Warp Star, Metal Box, Beam Sword, Lip’s Stick, Ray Gun, Deku Nut, Hot Head, Mr. Saturn, Banana Peel, Bumper, Spring, Unira,Soccer Ball, Team Healer, Screw Attack.
This isn’t final. It’s just something I’m going to kick around.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – Sheik does not have a penis.
Donkey Kong – Japan’s apology for Pearl Harbor.
Metal Gear Solid 2 – Otacon was having sex with his stepmother, while his father commited suicide in front of his stepdaughter.

That or you take everything MasterP says seriously. I mean, I know it is MasterP. But I do think he has his own dry sarcastic wit.
Don’t you make me sigh again, kiddo.

Don’t tell me what to do.
Edit: Oh, wait. You were talking to Yahoo. lol
It’s no worse than what Nickname and PMosh said.
Sigh. Once again, my sense of humor goes unappreciated.
And for some reason, my mind immediatley goes here. Don’t ask me why…
Generally speaking, I think you are doing fine. Last semester, we had more LAN attendees than the previous semester. This semester, we have a lot of new members. That is good. Still, it is important for you (and all executives, actually) to have an understanding of politics. There are several constituencies in the club. The Family comes to mind. They are a large voting block, so it is best not to outwardly antagonize them. Not that you should be an appeasing cowrd or anything, but try to maintain good relations, or at least an illusion of it. Also, nothing gets voters *edited*ed off faster than trying to alter voting rules. Just something to keep in mind.

And the reason I mentioned stages is because DDD’s chaingrab = instant stock on any stage with a walk off boundary.
Ooooooh, yeah. Forgot about that. I might make one or two stage changes on the official rules list.
Alright, let’s try this again. Forget the previous list, because I’m starting fresh. What I would like to hear from you is what you would and would not like to be on the item list, as well as an explaination as to why. I’ll start things off by letting you know what I think about the items. Let’s take it in categories:
The Least Likely
These items are the least likely to appear on the official list: Assist Trophy, Pokeball, Blast Box, Maxim Tomato, Heart Contaner, Dragoon Parts, Warp Star, Super Spicy Curry, Timer, Lightning, Hammer, Golden Hammer, Cracker Launcher, Bob-Omb, Motion-Sensor Bomb, Smart Bomb, Smoke Bomb. Most of these are items which have a relatively high chance of KOing a player at low percentage. Healing items of 50% seem excessive for this stuation. As for the Smoke Bomb, I know how much everybody dislikes it, so off it goes. If you would like to see any of these items in the official list, speak up.
Smash Balls
These have the potential to KO a fighter at 0%, depending on the character. However, some people absolutely love them, as they contribute to what makes Brawl (and Smash Bros. in general) unique and fun. So, if each member of both teams agree, they will be switched on for that round.
Containing/Prizes
I’m talking about Crates and Sandbags. They give out items. Now, Crates sometimes explode, so some strategy is involved (Should I break it from afar, or risk it?). I’m thinking one or both will be on the list.
Food
On low frequency, this shouldn’t be a game breaker.
Transforming
Super/Poison Mushrooms – I am a bit concerned that Super Mushrooms will make the fighter too powerful, but maybe having Poison Mushrooms on as well will even things out. I’m on the fence on this one.
Starman – Seems a bit too powerful, but if I hear overwhelming support, on they go.
Metal Box/Rabit Hood – I think there is enough strategy created by these items to put them on the list.
Battering
Beam Sword – My only concern with this one is it’s great range. Still, there is a lot of strategy attached to it, so maybe.
Home-Run Bat – Wow is this one powerful. I’m not certain about adding it, but if I hear enough support, I will definately consider it.
Fan – I hear it is possible to possitivley dominate with the fan. However, it takes a lot of practice to do this, so I think it would be okay to add it.
Lip’s Stick – Why not? It’s just Lip’s Stick.
Star Rod – The range makes me a little iffy, but I think it’s harmless enough.
Shooting
Super Scope – It’s awefully powerfull at full blast. Not sure about this one.
Ray Gun – It could be very annoying, but it’s pretty hard to KO somebody with one of these.
Fire Flower – My main objection to this one is similar to the Supr-Spicy Curry. That is, it is very hard to escape it.
Throwing
Deku Nut/Freezie/Pitfall – It’s mighty hard to KO somebody with these, and the status effects they give out adds some strategy.
Hot Head – This item is basically an environmental hazard. I don’t think it is powerfull or fas enough to be unfair. Also, it forces the player to multi-task (fight/avoid).
Mr. Saturn – Harmless.
Green Shell – Standard throwing item.
Banana Peel – Can be used strategically.
Bumper/Spring – Forces the player to adapt or exploit the surroundings.
Unira – Similar to some other throwing items, it can be used to introduce environmental hazards.
Soccer Ball – This one seems a bit too powerful.
Team Healr – Fits right in a Team Brawl.
Gear
Franklin Badge – Puts ranged weapon users at a disadvantage, but that will give them more incentive to get there first.
Screw Attack – I’m concerned that it is too difficult to avoid.
I really do want to know what you guys think, so post away!

I meant to post it.
Prove me wrong, lol.
. . .
In any kind of debate, it does not matter what you mean to say; only what is actually expressed.
For example:
Your mother is a *edited*. Whoops! I meant to say your mother is not a *edited*.
The only thing I plan on changing about my initial rules are the items. Later today, I’m going to post some ideas about the revised item list.
You did not say “there are more ignorant republicansin the south.” You said “there are more ignorant republicans.” Nothing about your initial remark was geographical.
Liquid said:
I hate ignorant voters in both parties, although their seems to be more ignorant republicans.
I think that is a pretty ignorant statement. Yes, some of the crowd went overboard, but how about those left-wing crazies who accused Bush of being a murderous, racist, fool for eight years. I’d say the number of crazy people in both parties is about even. Now, when it comes to politicians, there are a lot of scoundrels in both parties. However, the Republians barely have any power at the moment, so there are many more scoundrels with authority in the Democrat party.
I was chiilin’ with my Kool-Aide when Miss Chili came to relay that you have a thing for me, finest thing you’ve ever seen.
Wow, another celebrity dead. 2009, stop being so mean. Well, at least Swayze’s suffering is over. I really feel bad for his family.
That Chippendale’s sketch is one of my favorite SNL bits ever. I hear the Ogres’ dance from WOW is based on the Chris Farley dance.
After talking to a few people, I’ve decided to trash the list and start from scratch. I’ll post a revised list in the Brainstorming thread later. I’d also like to remind everyone that the LAN is in a month and a half, so none of these rules are even close to being made official.
