Have to agree with Z on the unbalanced nature of the teams. I think that Dragoons could be easily merged into Soldiers, to the benefit of everyone there. Monks also pose the problem of not being differentiated enough. Personally, if it comes down to a major overhaul of the system (which I don't see happening) I would cut the classes down to the four "core" FF classes - White Mage, Black Mage, Soldier, and Thief. Re-establish the Soldier class with a mixture of Soldier and Dragoon traits, and resort all the Monks into other classes (I know there were quite a few who had White Mage leanings, and the WMs could benefit from an infusion of Monk-style awesomeness). Not ideal, and obviously a huge undertaking, but just my two cents. =/
firaga_casters is typically pretty quiet, but we've been brainstorming some ideas, so hopefully that'll change soon. It seems like this is sort of a comm-wide team comm problem, though.
MWS does seem a touch overpowered, but I think that's just because of the INCREDIBLE prolific nature of our resident fic-goddess, Z (*bows*), and hillian and haryan's crazy icon posts. The other teams just don't have anyone that awesome posting. I think the current wordcount fic system works, but I might suggest an overhaul for shorter works, like poetry or drabbles. Maybe make all fanworks have a minimum point worth, like 10 or something? I know my husband, zydoxis, was kinda put off by the wordcount system when he posted those two extra limericks, since he'd only be getting like 5 points for the pair.
The alliances were fun, and I think having them next game would be beneficial, since there's such a gap between the three top teams and the three bottom ones. I'm just sad that the Black Mages probably won't get to team up with the Monks or Thieves. There are some awesome people over there that I'd love to work with! And I would definitely make comm-linking required next time. I think the Mage team suffered a bit for being the only unlinked alliance.
And I would just like to say that this place? Awesome. ^_^ I'm so happy to be a part of such a fantastic community! You're the best, chacusha. *bows*
