| So after a bit of discussion, we're actually gonna do this: original "anime fantasy league" post on anime.miao.us, now on blogsuki. thanks Jason Miao! For those of you familiar with Fantasy Sports, this event will be the same thing with an anime twist. For those less than familiar, basically players will be forming their own team by selecting anime from the upcoming season. The list of eligible anime will be posted shortly. Once the teams are chosen, everyone sits back and watches their teams rack up points according to criteria that will be posted. You don't even need to watch the anime you've chosen. For example, say we started this last fall season with the only criteria for winning points is 1 point for each user watching on MAL every week and 50 points if the anime gets licensed during the season. If my team consists of Kanon and Death Note (assume both are active), and the stats follow as such: Week 1: Kanon, 10 users watching Death Note, 25 users watching Kanon wins 10 points, Death Note wins 25 points. Your team has 35 points total. Week 2: Kanon, 35 users watching Death Note, 40 users watching Kanon wins 35, Death Note wins 40 Your team has 110 points total. Week 3: Kanon, 70 users watching Death Note, 60 users watching Viz Licenses Death Note Kanon wins 70 points, Death Note wins 60 plus another 50 for license this week. Your team has 290 points total. ...and this goes on for the next 14 or so weeks. That's the simplified version of this game. Of course, research is completely optional. You could always go for a gut choice when deciding your team. Hey, that strategy worked for the one who won the first season so it may work for you! On the other hand, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th position for that season had done their research. Which strategy shall you choose? Hopefully we can have lots of fun with this. :) Join the Fantasy Anime League Club here: http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=379 |

| Sounds interesting, although I really don't 100% get the point of doing this yet. Too bad I don't have time to participate in this, since from March 28th, 2007 onward is like the worst time for me, so have fun with this people! I hope it turns out well and that you all don't get into too many fist fights over some wheelings and dealings :P. |
| The point is really just to have fun predicting which anime will become popular. And there's no need to be active during the duration of this event. You can just set up your bracket once and let your anime rack up points, although it would be better if you switch out your anime with bench positions, but it's not necessary. |
| I don't really get how it works either. So the anime will be those from the upcoming season? How many anime on a team/bench? |
| Yea seems confusing... =P |
| My guess is that this is just betting on which anime will be the most succesful this next season. But the whole game seems to be quite........confusing. -_- |
| hmm...I didn't think this would be difficult to understand, but I'll edit the post and try to simplify things. |
| Even I still don't understand it all. :D |
| I decided that having benches this time makes things too complicated so I took that out to simplify things. |
| Good work on the last few posts, Kei. Seems really clear now and I've even looked at some of the shows' info already ^^ . |

     |
| Ok it's perfectly clear to me now. So how and when do we post our contending brackets? |

If this works though we'll definitely have benches next season. |
| Would we be allowed to swap at any point, one show for another? Or is that considered having a bench team? Sounds like Fafarazzi, but for anime. :) |

| I think I understand what is going on now. Wish I saw the simplified version before hitting the wiki. It was like a jet flying over head....you know it's passing you by....but the closer you get to it, the more of a headache you have. Are you guys REALLY gonna be okay? What if 1,000...no 1million people sign up for it; I assume there is quite a bit of automation going on behind the scenes to give you guys such confidence, even if it were limited to registered members of MAL. Also, how is it going to be displayed? Each person's profile, forum format, whole other website, etc... |
 |
| ya we'll be fine otaku1699. ^-^ everything will be displayed here on this forum. |
| wildebeest0001 I have a sugestion. Why not create an "avatar-like" award to give to the winner of the League. Something that says "Anime League 1st Edition Winner". So he/she could put on the profile page for e.g. What do you think? |

| Kay might........I've seen he can make cool avatars as well! ^^ |
| Yeah, why not make a contest out of it? Everyone just makes the pic, and the best one(s) gets the letters added ("First place Anime League 1st edition" or whatever) and are presented as prizes for the winners. ^^ |
| Hell yeah, why not? XD |
| Having an avatar just for that would kick out the club avatars. We'll think of something :). |

| Yeah that's true. I was only thinking about a possible image in the signature. |
staff.applications ▼ guidelines.faq ▼ report.abuse ▼ thx.skittles ▼ thx.kina ▼ [H+] ³ ▼ |
| I'd say the avatars are for the profile (in this case that is). It would be nice that if similar things would take place, people can have somthing like a prize shelf in their profile.......... |
Cyruz said: Having an avatar just for that would kick out the club avatars. We'll think of something :). My inicial idea was for these avatars to be used on the profiles only. not for use in the forums although people are free to use it in the forums if they want. ince there are a few people that can make them perhaps we could use Kanashimi's or boursk's idea. Either that or nominating 1 person to make them per edition. But since the idea of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and participation avatar came up might be a little too much work for one person. boursk said: yeah, pehapps if this edition goes well Xinil can add a spot in everyone's profile to hold the awards. Something like we have on the characters favourites, a picture poping up when you move your cursor to the name.I'd say the avatars are for the profile (in this case that is). It would be nice that if similar things would take place, people can have somthing like a prize shelf in their profile.......... |
|
| I see, why not. I was thinking of adding a little button to the signature but I'm fine with User Profile avatars. This was how I thought it could look like, still working on the size and design. (Just noticed the black border is missing on the right)  I don't think I'll have time to come up with these bigger pictures so I'm looking forward to see pictures by Kana? |

| Why not the simple 100x100 avatar type pics? |
| I'm a bit confused now. You guys were talking about pictures for the AFL members. Where would you want to place those pictures? |
staff.applications ▼ guidelines.faq ▼ report.abuse ▼ thx.skittles ▼ thx.kina ▼ [H+] ³ ▼ |
| In the profile |
| An avatar-size picture wouldn't look that neat in the profile I think. I'd rather take one about the size of the SOL Logos I got. Maybe a tad smaller, that'd be the best I think. Would be interesting to know that the others think about this. |
staff.applications ▼ guidelines.faq ▼ report.abuse ▼ thx.skittles ▼ thx.kina ▼ [H+] ³ ▼ |
| well like I said, if there were to be more contests like these, people can make a little prize shelf in their profile. ^^ And obviously, you'd just place these avatars next to eachother. ;) |
| This is the first attempt at doing a Contest. I think we should wait and see how things go before we start thinking beyond that :). [edit]: What we were talking about was a picture that shows you''re participating in the AFL. |
staff.applications ▼ guidelines.faq ▼ report.abuse ▼ thx.skittles ▼ thx.kina ▼ [H+] ³ ▼ |
| Well that's true, but wouldn't it be better to take the future in consideration when taking decisions like this as well? At the very least we know that if the fantasy leage'll be a success there will be another one for the next season. And heck t here may be others who plan to make contests, like the thread about having a speed contest of anime watching or something............ >.> <,< >.> Just throwing in my 2 cents...... |
| well I was thinking of a "pop up" picture like we have on characters, and thus the avatar. but banners are also a good idea. I'll work on a few as well. |
|
| *sigh* A shame. This contest thing really confused me, so i didn't enter it. And now i read that you didn't have to watch the anime you chose! Damn! Please have a Summer Season! |
| Yeah, we have a summer season. XD I think this spring season is just a test round anyway. There's a couple of problems in FAL that need to be ironed out next season. |
| I am just really busy catching up with older anime before i can watch some new ones. The only spring season anime I'm watching is Lucky Star. I'm cheering for you Crystal to win. Don't know why. I just feel like it. ^.^ |
| Yay! I have fans! Go go Crystal, go! XD |
| Woo hoo, I'm cheering for Crystal too! ^.^ |
|
| What?! You are my biggest rival! XD Don't cheer for the enemy! |
