Which Grand Battles Updated This Week

[Dragon Fogel]

So! Here is the thing. We have all these battles going on and people keep not posting in them often enough.

Consequently, this is a thread to offer some incentive. Every Saturday evening, I will list all the battles that updated that week. If there's a week in which every active battle updates, we celebrate! Specifically, I will hunt down a volunteer (possibly myself) to draw fanart or just do something generally cool and battle-related to commemorate the occasion.

I'll start tomorrow. I'm just putting this up now so that you know to expect it in the future.

Full list of currently-running battles, for my own convenience in linking to them later on.

Will tomorrow be the first chance for celebration?

[engineclock]

I'll volunteer for celebration shenanigans if you'd like, though I'll probably resent myself for this later.

[Dragon Fogel]

Since I'm checking Saturday, I'm starting the count from last Sunday. So the following battles would need an update, in order from longest-since-the-last-update:

Battle Majestic
Grand Battle 2
Inexorable Altercation
Grand Battle Season 3
Spectacular Exhibition
Intense Struggle Season 2
Battle Royale Season 2
Fatal Conflict
Petty Squabble
Savage Brawl

That's 10 battles out of 17 active. It's a tall order, but we once updated 12 in less than 24 hours.

So! Let's see how many we can get done before I do my first check, shall we? Particularly the ones that have had the most time since the last update - BM and GB2.

And to do my part, I'll probably post in BRS2 today, unless somebody else wants to. And I could double-post in SB and PS, though that's more of a last resort; particularly for PS, where I left Pinary a cue.

Remember, it doesn't have to be a huge post! Just make sure you advance the story in some way.

[Lord Paradise]

This is a pretty sweet idea, I approve.

[Dragon Fogel]

First update!

To begin, I would like to note that MalkyTop has graciously offered to update Grand Battle High whenever we succeed in updating every battle over the course of a week.

The following battles updated this week.

Intense Struggle [IS]
The Grand Battle Season Two [GBS2]
The Battle Royale Season Two [BRS2]
The Gradual Massacre [GM]
Intense Struggle Season Two [ISS2]
The Phenomenal Fracas [PF]
The Great Belligerency [GBe]
The Grand Battle Season Three [GBS3]
The Relentless Slaughter [RS]
The Glorious Championship [GC]

That's 10 battles that saw a post in the last week! Nice job, but let's see if we can raise that number next week, shall we?

Overall analysis:

Season 1 needs to move faster. Only Intense Struggle updated this week, and it's just inside the interval I'm looking at, with Savage Brawl just outside. We have four battles finished, which is good, but the remaining four are barely moving - especially Battle Majestic, which is the only battle that hasn't updated in all of May. And GB2 is in its final round; considering that, it would be nice to see some more action so we could mark off another one as finished.

Season 2 is faring much better. The only Season 2 battles not to get an update were Inexorable Altercation and Fatal Conflict. It might be good for people to give some extra attention to those two!

Season 3 had three battles update. Petty Squabble and Spectacular Exhibition didn't see new posts this week, though PS was updated last Saturday, so it's just a little bit outside my interval.

Out of all the battles, only Grand Battle 2, Battle Majestic, and Inexorable Altercation have not had a new post in the last two weeks. IA updated just a little over two weeks ago, however.

Overall: Not a bad week, and I'd even say a damn good two weeks. Let's see how we can raise the battle count next week, shall we?

[Dragon Fogel]

Hello, everyone!

With about one day to go before my next check, we have 7 battles that haven't updated since last Saturday! These are:

-Intense Struggle
-Battle Majestic
-Grand Battle Season 2
-Inexorable Altercation
-Battle Royale Season 2
-Intense Struggle Season 2
-Relentless Slaughter

We've already updated 11 battles, which is more than last week's 10 battles, and we've had multiple posts in some of them this week! That's already an improvement; but let's see how many more we can get done before the official check tomorrow, shall we?

Edit: Now we're down to just four! Battle Majestic, Inexorable Altercation, GBS2, and Relentless Slaughter are the only battles that need to update by this evening! CAN WE DO IT?

[Dragon Fogel]

Second weekly check! Let's see where we are, shall we?

The Grand Battle II [GB2]
Intense Struggle [IS]
The Savage Brawl [SB]
Inexorable Altercation [IA]

15 battles out of 18 active! And I know that people are working on the last three AS I POST THIS, so if they finish soon enough, I'll edit them into this post!

All in all, an excellent week for posting. I think this system is helping!

Edit: Look what just updated!
The Grand Battle Season Two [GBS2]

16 battles this week! Amazing!

Edit again:
The Battle Majestic [BM]

[Dragon Fogel]

[Akumu]

[Wojjan]

[MalkyTop]

Well done, all of you.

Don't make it a habit.

[Agent1022]

Now comes a large slump where everyone tries to recuperate from the large amounts of posting.

[Solaris]

The funny thing about you saying that is that there's only been one post all day :v

but yea, we did it, awesome!

[Dragon Fogel]

Third check! So what updated?

The Grand Battle Season Three [GBS3]
The Petty Squabble [PS]
The Glorious Championship [GC]

That's fourteen battles! It's not all of them, but it seems clear to me that keeping track is encouraging people to post more. Glad to see that trend continuing! Plus, there's still time for the last four battles to sneak out a post somehow...

Edit: Oh, look! Another one!

The Relentless Slaughter [RS]

[Dragon Fogel]

Hey battlers! Next check is tomorrow!

At the moment, GB2, BM, BRS2, ISS2, PF, RS, and GC are still in need of updates. Get to work, people! We can do this!

That's 13 battles in total! Five battles went without updates this week. We're slipping a bit; let's try to get that count up next week, shall we?

[Dragon Fogel]

Tomorrow's another check! Which battles do we still need to see updates in?

Quite a few, as it turns out.

GB2, BM, SB, GBS2, IA, BRS2, ISS2, PF, FC, GBe, GBS3, PS, VD are all in need of updates! That's more than two-thirds of the active battles.

GET TO WORK, PEOPLE!

[Dragon Fogel]

And it's time for my weekly check! Actually, I'm a little late.

Intense Struggle
The Savage Brawl
The Gradual Massacre
Intense Struggle Season Two
The Phenomenal Fracas

10 battles! Can we get that to 12?

Edit: Oh hey, make that 11. One more!

The Petty Squabble

Edit again: And with this short post from me, we hit 12.

The Battle Royale Season Two

[Dragon Fogel]

Oh look, it's Friday again. What needs to update?

GB2, IS, BM, GBS2, IA, BRS2, ISS2, SE, RS, PS, GC.

That's 11 battles... down from thirteen at this point last week, but still disappointingly high. Let's try to get some things happening in some of these by tomorrow night, shall we?

[Dragon Fogel]

Hey look, another update.

Intense Struggle [IS]
The Savage Brawl [SB]
The Gradual Massacre [GM]
The Phenomenal Fracas [PF]
The Fatal Conflict [FC]
The Great Belligerency [GBe]
The Grand Battle Season Three [GBS3]
The Petty Squabble [PS]
The Vivacious Deadlock [VD]

That's... only nine battles. Half of the active ones.

We can do better than this, people! Let's see some new updates before the end of the night!

Edit:

The Grand Battle Season Two [GBS2] has updated. We're up to 10 now. Let's see if we can hit 12!

Edit again:
The Battle Majestic [BM]

For a weekly total of 11. I am slightly disappointed, but I do thank everyone who posted this week, or at least tried to get a post out. Let's work on getting more battles updated before my Friday checks, shall we?

[Dragon Fogel]

Hello everyone! It's a Friday morning.

This week started off strong, with multiple battles updating on Sunday. As a result, we already have eight battles updated! Still in need of an update this week, we have:

GB2, IS, BM, SB, GBS2, BRS2, ISS2, PF, RS, VD

So get those writing muscles in gear, people!

[Dragon Fogel]

I have decided on a slight change in approach here.

We will have celebratory rewards whenever every battle in a single season updates during a week. If more than one season manages that, then we get more drawings or whatever else we opt to celebrate with!

That means it only takes four Season 1 posts in one week to get something neat. Considering every battle in Season 1 is moving slowly, I think this is warranted.

[bobthepen]

Maybe these rewards could constitute something similar to say- character images for the wiki?

Says person with no drawing ability to person of similar aptitude.
