Davy Back Player Plot
OKAY I've been bouncing this idea around for awhile, but I think we can finally start formally hashing out more details! So Davy Back Fight Player Plot! Aiming for late August/early September to take place.
General background and preliminary leading up to the event! -- Have you ever wanted Luceti Olympics or a pirate versus ninja dodgeball game? Or better yet? Pirate vs. ninja vs. ninja vs. pirate vs. SOS Brigade vs anyone else who wants to call themselves a team? Because Marco totally does (blame Temari and a little game called Davy Back). Toward that end, he's going to slowly start trying to recruit early (so he can cheat) and start leaving posters around the village inviting people to come be a pirate. At which point hopefully a few people will get suspicious and ask what the hell he's up to. He will then challenge them and their crew/family ties/village/nakama to a game of Davy Back.
What: Davy Back Fight is a pirate game where they bet everything important to pirates, no not money or gold, think bigger. Crewmates/nakama, and their very pride as a flag. Steep costs. That said, Marco probably won't hold anyone to staying in a crew much more than a day because that's cruel even for him. Still a day/week (I'm looking for suggestions/opinions here) of your characters betting their loyalties to another flag.
Being a pirate game the rules are pretty minimal and I'm thinking since we're not looking at permanently stealing crewmates, half of it will be ignored. I would really like to keep the filler games though since they actually have dodgeball as an option. It'd also be better to add in pretty much any games/options people feel like and making it a little more free-for-all. In the manga, each crewmate can only enter one game, in the anime it's 2, for Luceti, I'm open to suggestions. If we do limit the number of times people can enter, I think it'd have to be done bracket elimination style of one team fighting one team one on one and then winner goes on to fight the next winner.
Which games: You guys tell me! I want to keep Red Light Green Light, Donut Race, Boxing, Dodgball (Hit & Dead Ball), but I'd really like to open it up bigger to actual Olympics style games, and maybe something of a thieves lock-picking competition; employing both the blacksmiths to try to make unbreakable locks, and all the thieves to prove they're really the best. The best part of panfandom is that different worlds = tons of diversity, so let's use it! Got a game idea you want to see, let's hear it!
Who: Anyone who wants in. Literally. You don't have to be a member of a crew, or you could start your own to join in, or your character could temporarily join one for kicks perhaps. Also they'll need judges, so characters like Smoker who hate all pirates & thieves equally could be nominated ICly as being impartial judges for things like Red Light, Green Light or whatever else.
When: A very vague Late August/Early September. I'd like it to be before everyone gets back to school, but after other's player plots so I'm leaving it pretty loose. This puts it a little after the Olympics unfortunately, but hopefully still gives us enough time to set everything up.
Things that would take setting up:
-- ICLY: Forming all the teams/expanding in advance so that everyone could hit up the challenges.
- Setting up the actual challenges (ie: the Donut Ring Race area, any eating competitions, locks/treasure maps, depends on the games).
- And issuing the challenges. ICly Marco will try to be sneaky, but he's a little too flashy, and there should ideally be plenty of hints in advance for characters to realize he's plotting a Davy Back Fight challenge and ask around to find out what that is and possibly try to beat him to the punch and/or challenge others (making it a giant mess \o/ YAY)
-- OOCLY: Figuring out which games to have, and which teams, and how to have them all compete
- Figuring out how to determine winners (Deciding in advance or after it's played out? Voting ooc on funniest IC entries to logs? Picking randomly out of a hat?) I'm totally open to ideas but In general I want to avoid "My character is the strongest" fights because panfandom and that's just less fun imo. Play up your character's weaknesses too. Or maybe they'll be dealing with kidnapping effect to make things more ridiculous. OR maybe we can add a secret set of rules that the characters will all hash out to make things "fair" that just wind up making it crazy, get creative!
- People's schedules
Anyways, it'll take a ton of IC & OOC organization, way more than Marco or I could do alone (or even hijacking Ace and others into) but if you guys think it sounds like fun, I'd love to do this. So hit me up with ideas, complaints, questions, suggestions, the works!

But yes. Pooh sticks is my suggestion whether or not I can somehow make this thing watch/participate in some way.
