Claim Your Bishoujo/Bishounen! - The Reboot

Round #50
Kaien Shiba from Bleach

I was going to stop once I got Kirino, Ruri, and Saori, but I realized the series isn’t the same without:

Round 50

Kyousuke Kousaka from Oreimo

Not to be seen as enabling, but there’s still Manami, Ayase and Kanako…

Two weeks does not make a tradition… a trend maybe, but not a tradition. :wink:

I couldn’t find a decent picture, so I just threw together something funny.

Newshawk, would it be too late for me to take back my claim and place a different one?

Yes, MrBoomba, it is too late. Save the replacement for next week. You’ll probably need it! :wink:

First, a little history…

It all started on November 6, 2009. Mystic wrote the following:

With that, the first incarnation of Claim Your Bishoujo/Bishounen! was off and running. The demand was great for a second round. Slowhand wrote:

[quote]Oh, man! Only one??
Maybe we can have a second round later on??[/quote]

Mystic later said he didn’t think it would run very long:

That ā€œseveral roundsā€ turned into 20 rounds, covering 49 pages of posts, before Mystic realized he had created a monster and contemplated what to do with the juggernaut that CYB/B had become. He approached me, Newshawk, about taking over the game. I asked him if he thought it would be a good idea to start the game over. He was concerned that the current players would be upset over losing all their characters, so I came up with the ā€œthree protected carryover charactersā€ idea, with an eye to having some fun with possible future rounds. I put it up to a vote, and the reboot with three carryover characters was the overwhelming favorite. I kept as much of Mystic’s rules as I could, only tweaking some rules that I had seen as causing a large amount of friction early on.

Due to a short hiatus to make the changes, the first Friday for the new incarnation of CYB/B just happened to be Good Friday, 2010. Recognizing that some of the players may be away from home that day for various reasons, I decided to relaunch the game on Easter Monday, April 5, 2010. Despite an inauspicious start (the locked thread wasn’t unlocked exactly at 9:00 PM ET) the relaunch of CYB/B was welcomed with good participation. Since then, we’ve played the game every week with the exception of Thanksgiving weekend, 2010, which gave everyone a chance to recover from the previous day’s tryptophan overdose.

That brings us to the 51st round of CYB/B.

As the one year anniversary of the reboot CYB/B lands in the middle of a week, I have decided to make the entire week an Anniversary Celebration! The upcoming round begins on April Fools Day and ends on Thursday, April 7, 2011. To celebrate, we’re going to have a seven day extravaganza-seven days of picking, trading and releasing characters. I’ll publish the exact schedule next Friday. Also (since I know Hornet65 would ask), for this week only, each evening’s round segment will last for one week-that is, the April 1 round segment ends April 7, the April 2 round segment ends April 8, and so on.

Therefore, start preparing your lists, players. I’d have at least a dozen potential picks ready. If you want to get the best Bishies, don’t forget to be here every night at 9:00 PM ET/6:00 PM PT starting next Friday, April 1st!

Hmm, April 1st eh? This won’t be one big joke I hope! :laugh: Just Kidding!

Something this grand could only happen once a year. As one of the newer participants, I’m thrilled to be a part of it!

[strike]But April 1st is a Friday and April 7th is a Thursday… that’s not a week at all![/strike]

Even better question: are you saying that on April 7th (before the end of round 1a) if you hadn’t made any claims yet, you could make a claim for April 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th all at once!?

You could, this coming week only. Although I’d have to hunt you down like a rabid dog if you did. :angry:

Oh yes, this also means the swap meet is open. Please negotiate in PM, if you would.

[quote]Since, not all of my previous characters from the first game are claimed yet, I’ll jump in for this round just to drop a reminder of one I would like to see claimed after it becomes availible again.

Newshawk:
You can release this character after 3 weeks, since the 12 week mark is just too far away for this case.

With this post hitting the 3 week mark, she is now free for the pickin’!
