Right, I think now is the time I use this thread for what I originally intended it for (don't worry, any updates or splatfests will still be announced... even if no one is really interested anymore...)...
Starting this Thursday, I will start trying to get myself an army of squid-kids to dominate the ranked battles with.
What this also means is that I will sort of have a little thing going on where some of us (I don't care who exactly, but I'm not to be left out) shall sort of have our own splatoon of squid-kids for squad battles, and... well let's try to make this simple...
I'm going make Miiverse posts in Splatoon announcing that I am recruiting people for squad battles, and tell them to go on the ER forums for more information (hoping Nintendo doesn't mind me doing this).
Many/most might ignore me, a few may heed my call and check us out.
Anyone who is still interested in joining at this point will (hopefully) find a thread more in depth about my whole inkling-army-plan where they are welcome to ask to join us on Splatoon and stuff, and this is where other people come in.
If I recall correctly, Nintendo Network users are limited to having 100 friends, and in order to do squad battles with some one, you must be friends with them on the NN.
Now personally, I don't want all of my friends slots taken up by 70-80 people from the other side of the globe who I only just met 2 hours ago, and I don't think any one else really would either, so how I'm going to have it work is, a select few of us (the few of us who wish to dedicate at least one day every month and no less than 20 NNfriend slots for our specific (s)platoon) shall take a squad of our squids into the battle field and/or hosting a private battle, which I shall refer to as 'Party Battle'.
Now one very important thing about this is that I want this operation to be very organized, and a certain format and criteria are to be followed.
To give an example, I might as well give out my hosting information and the likes;
Name [nickname]: Catcocomics [Catco]
NNID (so that you can join us in battle): Catcocomics
Rank: A+
Level: 33
Battle Type(s): Ranked, 'Party' (party on special occasions)
Preferred game mode(s): Rainmaker, Tower Control, Turf Wars
Typical playing days: every Thursday, every other weekend (for now)
Hour(s) usually on: 6-10 P.M. central standard (or what ever timezone Texas is) [Thursdays], Mornings and often in afternoon and evening [every other weekend]
Squad size: Quad Squad
Splatoon members: 0/40
The other thing that I want assistance with is to come up with a name for my/our (whose should it be?) inkling army as a whole (Bloop Troop is out, since it's already take by a certain youtuber...), and for those who would like, a name for individual splatoons (and yes, I get the title of the game is 'Splatoon', and that it could be any number of puns, but don't forget about the official 'Squid Beak Splatoon').
So yeah, I'd like to see some name suggestions for my/our army (I seriously want to know if any of you want to take communal ownership of this army or not) before I go ahead with making the squad thread, deadline is Wednesday afternoon/evening this week, and I don't want to be the one who comes up with the name because I'm not great with names, but I will come up with one if I must.
So brief summary; I'm setting a plan/project into motion by Thursday this week, and I'm going to dedicate my full efforts to this and not let up any until I know that it's stable.
Phase 1 is coming to a close, but shall still run in the background as Phase 2 launches in to jump-start Phase 3...
And with Phase 3, we all get delicious crab cake and octo-sushi party.
On a final note, good night.
