    Pavilion Iron Chef episode II: Crunk Gets Deported

    That's right, this time not only is Crunk's reputation as a chef at stake, but his Canadian Citizenship, as well! Defeat him to win his swank pad in Camloops, his Canadian citizenship, and super-phat healthcare system!

    Kire will be the MC again this time, and Crunk the opponent, but the judges for this episode have yet to be selected. I need some volunteers! The only one that I'm already sure of is Rena. That means I need 8 more people.

    If you want to be in the game as a judge, then respond here and let me know. In addition to that I'll need you to fill out a brief questionnaire, and PM it to me. It will basically just have a few questions about your food tastes for you to answer, so that your responses in the game will reflect your actual food preferences, just like episode 1 did.

    Speaking of Episode 1, if you haven't played it or don't know what it's about, you can read this thread and even download the game if you want.

    Basically you play as either a male or female chef, who has come to challenge the resident Iron Chef (Crunk) to a cooking duel. You must choose a main ingredient, a seasoning, and a cooking method to produce your dish for the round, and you must score higher than Crunk to win that round. Your judges are 3 'random' pavilionites per turn, for a total of 3 turns.

    I have yet to figure out exactly how the food components and dishes are going to be set up this time, but I know that there will be fundamental differences in the way this one will be done. For instance 'Meat' and 'Seafood' will be in the same category. I did that because there was such a huge number of people ranking Meat the highest, and Seafood the lowest. 'Fruit' and 'Grains' will also be in their own category.

    I'll also need to change the way the cooking methods are done. NOBODY chose 'Steamed' as their favorite (not voluntarily, anyway ), and only 1 or 2 people even ranked it above 4th. I'll probably replace that, unless a lot of people like steamed veggies and potstickers this time. If you do then say so here!

      I had so much fun with PIC 1 and I'm really looking forward to II. I know you've been looking for a good reason to make this for a while now, too!

      I'd love to be a judge for Round 2, if you need people. I know I was a judge in Round 1, but hey, it could work with some backstory. Make me a zombie. Or an astronaut. Or a zombie astronaut. That loves fresh fruit.

          YAY Kefka is added, and Wave is added as a relief judge.

          Thanks!

            Further developments on the mechanics front...

            In episode 1, each judge has 4 slots for 'special dish' messages. One of them is for when you prepare that judge's favorite dish, one is for their least-favorite dish, and 2 were for the 'default' dishes that all judges react to one way or the other.

            I'm thinking about keeping the 4 messages, but each judge will have a different setup as far as which dishes they give bonuses for, and which ones they penalize for.

            I'm thinking of adding to the questionnaire. Since meat and seafood (for example) are now combined, people can say if they hate one of the two. So if someone loves meat, but hates seafood, when they get a dish with seafood in it they'll count off a point for it. I'll only need one special message slot for that, and I can use a range to trigger the message (so that several dishes can be covered), but it'll eliminate the 'if I use this I will win' trap. Just because you use a popular cooking category won't automatically mean that you'll come out ahead.

            I'll have to get the results from the questions back first before I figure all of that out though, and before that I have to finish the survey.

            [EDIT] Ok...

            I'm now seriously considering eliminating the cooking technique entirely, and having a main ingredient, a secondary ingredient, and the seasoning. If I do that then a lot of what I just said is moot, but I'm thinking this is just another way of solving the same problems. And this way, I think it'll actually be more fun, the act of cooking in the game.

            So therefore in a dish like 'Spaghetti', you would have 'herbs' as a seasoning, 'pasta' as a secondary ingredient, and 'vegetables' as a main ingredient. I'm still thinking about all that, though...

              This thing is back on again.

              I now have all 9 judges.

              - Kefka
              - Caciss
              - Sez
              - Fruple
              - Pagerron
              - Ryner
              - Adrian
              - Fushigi
              - ME

              I'm almost done with the questionnaire thing. More developments as they arrive!

                Good to have you back, Obi. Hope things are going well (or at least, as well as they possibly can be going) for you.

                  Thanks. Considering my PS2 and MAX disk, I'll second that.

                    OK, so after seeing that all-star list of judges, Astronaut Zombie Wave can go take a hike.

                    I am VERY much looking forward to playing this one, and thrilled that the Pav Biography Contest is gonna be such a crowded race.

                      Thanks for volunteering as backup, Wave! I'm sorry I didn't wind up using you this time, but I really wanted to avoid having any of the same people if I could. Zombie astronaut Wavelength would have been classic though.

                            I just wasted an entire weekend just trying to get people's portraits and models to be anywhere NEAR acceptable, and it's still not done. I'm going to stop doing that though and finish with the damn questionnaire already so I can get it sent off to everybody.

                            Kill me if I don't get this done tonight.

                              I SWEAR I'm almost done. Please don't kill me until sunrise.

                              The menu is almost done... 64 new dishes. Actually 63 new ones, because there's one dish that's been in every single game I've ever made, and I don't intend to stop that now because now it's like 'a thing'.

                              Or something.

                              It's hard to come up with all of these dishes. I don't want to get TOO familiar (hot dogs and fries), but I don't want to get too outlandish, either. Since it's based on actual food preferences, I want to use ingredients that people are going to be familiar with. I mean, HOW many people besides Perversion are going to know what guinea fowl in chocolate mole' tastes like?

                              I RUN AWAY.
