I get it, but I think it's a bad idea. The adversity of the Big 13 is what makes them so powerful, but normal armies should definitely follow this rule. Agreed. For example, my Solar Empire/Tundra Territories army will have plenty of military might and be unchallenged in snow (If I go for the TT), whereas Merloo's army could have more to do with magic and such. Also, I think we should keep the site; while moving to a new site and "Starting fresh" would be nice, I don't want to have to restart and...all that again. I hate to bring it up again, but on Pikmin Wars, when we wanted to clear out the trash of the first version, we moved what we wanted to keep to an Archives board and then obliterated all of the rest of the topics/posts. Perhaps we should do that here. We have a bunch of cluttered sticky topics and such lying around.

I disagree. Part of what makes The Wars so fun is that you can have Zim vs. Lash, have Link meet Cloud and beat him up, anything you and the people around you want. It allows for meetings never possible, and allows for something that will never exist, a meeting of all favorites, not just those of Nintendo.
I disagree about the idea of making The Wars Nintendo only, that is. Not about dropping SMKW and adding Mario to the Wars.
Oh, I also agree with the fact that the Big Bad 13 as separate and unique, no sharing of races. I do agree that regular armies should, but things like this should be exempt. They don't need a theme.

Uh, the idea was that we let Mario into the wars, not to exclude non-Nintendo characters.
I just wanted to turn Super Mushroom Kingdom Wars into Nintendo Wars.
Everyone would still be allowed into the wars.

Frankly, I think Nintendo has so much diversity (Huggable soldiers with high-pitched voices and anthropomorphic space foxes from the same company) that it wouldn't be a problem, but my opinion doesn't mean much, so do whatever you want. But I agree with Petey on that one.

Your idea is to let Mario into The Wars, and shut out all other non-Nintendo influences, just because you don't share the same interests. If vidguy wants to make a Bandit Group with Evil King Stan, Ari, Rosalyn, Kippling, and Epros, he should be allowed to.
It seems like it would ruin the excellent diversity we have going so far. Nintendo may be diverse enough that you can, essentially, make the same characters, but that isn't what people want. They want to be able to have the most insane things happen, fan favorite vs. fan favorite, which can never happen if that happens.

Sonic and Invader Zim vs. Black Hole--I feel like a fool just mentioning that. There ought to be at least some guidelines.

Like the Nintendo series isn't silly as it is. Dark Matter, the most evil character Kirby has, is evil because he has no friends. It's original, sure, but it's ridiculous.
And Zim is ridiculous for a reason. The other parts wouldn't seem to bad.

You're fighting relativity with relativity. There's no point.
...And Nintendo isn't exactly a "Series". >_>

Good gods, you know what I mean.
And I'm saying that the strangeness of the battles are offset by the fact that most people I know would rather have an odd battle here and there, than cut off their favorites completely.

Here's an idea:
We keep the wars, but let everyone into it Nintendo or not. Also it gets more specific rules, and gets wiped (in other words, everyone starts a new army). The main reason for this is to keep things organized, and that we keep things fair, and since we are supposed to get a bunch of new members soon.
Super Mushroom Kingdom Wars gets turned into Nintendo Wars, where anything from Nintendo (within reason) is allowed to have an army (like legion wars, but on a smaller scale, and Bandits/Mercs/Mechs are allowed also).
Mercs of Gaming and Legion wars remain unchanged.

Here's where I stand:
We should do a death wipe thing like on pikmin wars and start anew. Nintendo wars, yes, but flexible (i.e. final fantasy/digimon but no zim or silent hill).

If a lot of people want Non-Nintendo Characters and Nintendo Characters, then we should just combine The Wars and SMKW, instead of having two. I agree with the last part though.

Well, I think ridiculous things should be ignored, but not some. Hard to qualify, of course.

That sounds fine with me, as long as it stays Nintendo only (i.e. Final Fantasy 3 would be okay, but FFXII would be pushing it.) Wait, Final Fantasy 3 isn't Nintendo. I think you meant to say something else.
