Potential Return of Iron Chef?

[Cyrus]

Hey guys,

With the Pokegym much larger than it used to be, I figured that I might revive an old classic from a couple years ago: Iron Chef (Pokemon edition).

What is Iron Chef?

It's a semi-parody of the classic TV cooking show. The catch, though, is that instead of using surprise food ingredients, the contestants make decks out of selected card "ingredients." Usually I hosted these as single-elimination tournaments, rather than as staggered individual competitions.

Why is this something worth considering?

Simple: Pokegym loved Iron Chef! It gave players an opportunity to be creative during the off season, and was an opportunity to win some neat prizes.

Why do I want to bring this back?

Because I enjoyed judging these (hence the title). I have always enjoyed deck theory and deck tinkering much more than actual playing, so seeing what other people experiment with is a pleasure.



So...Now that the uninitiated know a little about this, and now that those who previously competed remember...Who would like to compete in one of these competitions?

If there's enough interest, I fully intend to host one of these. Just let me know in this topic.

I would not compete, as I can't build decks to save my life - or win a game. But, I did enjoy reading the topics / posts / and the ideas that people came up with were alot of fun.

I vote to bring it back.

I would like to compete in it or at least judge them.

 

[Vegeta ss4]

I'd love to be in this!

 

[Cyrus]

I would like to compete in it or at least judge them.

I "might" have a guest judge once in a blue moon, but I by and large intend to judge these on my own. Coordinating efforts just complicates things/lengthens the contest as a whole.

Also, don't be expecting the masterpiece writeups of the olden days! I'll only give each entry about a sentence or two,

Obviously, more info will come if I decide to do this...I'm liking the very quick feedback, though.

What is this "Iron Chef" thing of which you speak?

 

[Serebii1997J]

[z-man]

I'd do it. I kinda already do it for pokebeach, so why not here too?

 

[homeofmew]

Pokegym needs to do my idea, of iron chef promo edition. (incuding pop)

 

[z-man]

Hm... or they could do iron-chef like tournaments premier events! Say "this deck has to use <card>" on the page on go-pokemon.com. That would be fun

 

[Blazing_Monkey]

I wanna join, but I have a feeling Hatter will win. :F

 

[DarthPika]

I joined the Gym right as the old Iron Chef was ending, I really wanted to do it then, and now I finally have my chance.

 

[Hatter™]

I wanna join, but I have a feeling Hatter will win. :F

[Ryu99]

[Cardzmaster2004]

I iz SO into this.

Loved it the last time, would love to compete in it again. Hope this comes through!

EDIT: If 20 positive posts in 12 hours isn't enough to convince you start this up again, I dunno what would be. Looking forward to this!
