Welcome to Gaia! ::

Like last year we're looking for a shitton more suggestions to use as stages. Some of you people actually have some neat ideas, so we're looking for what we can use. We still have a lot from the previous years suggestions, but don't worry about that.

We'll weed out duplicates and stupid ideas.

Try not to make dumb-as-hell suggestions. The basis for these locations is to have a fight between atleast two people, and a location or suggestion that makes that absurdly difficult to enjoy or so constricting the fight ceases to be interesting, there's really no point in even having a fight.

Most of you are probably already aware of the previous year's stages, so don't bother suggesting those if you do. Otherwise check the archived forums in the HoH guild.


JOSEPH EDIT:

Also, make note of what stages you really liked from last year. There were a few gooduns.

-Barracks.
-Diety Inc. warehouse/construction zone.

-Waterfall cave(like behind the waterfall type deal)
-Dojo
-Movie theater(showing GRODZILLA starring Ebris)

-Crack house. BLUE CRYSTAL s**t included
-Back of a moving semi
-Airplane

-TRC(The Rave Club)[-shameless promotion-]
-Laundry mat
-pit during a hardcore/metal concert
-Unbeatable Banzuke obstacle course
-Scrooge's vault(it's too good to pass up)
-Catacombs
-Locker room
-BACKSTAGE(kinda like all that wrestling s**t)
-Drive-in movie theatre
-A parking lot. At night. Inside a circle of cars with their headlights as the only illumination and a bunch of jeering spectators. [ELIMINATOR STAGE?!]

Will be edited when I think of more places.

I'd like to suggest something that isn't dumb.

If I remember correctly, 08 had the top of a building as well as the elevator on the way up.

Office Complex

So, instead, I'd suggest the floor of an office complex - complete with cubicles, corner offices with windows (for ring-outs), water coolers, PRINTERSCANNERCOPIERs, computers... the works. It would offer plenty of terrain, since the cubicle walls would fall easily, and there are plenty of objects that could be used as weapons, ranging from PRINTERSCANNERCOPIERS to #1 Boss mugs.

G-Mart Supermarket

Pretty straightforward. The concept is similar to the Office Complex, although there would potentially be more objects to throw at people. Maybe some banana cream pies for comedy.

LAWL.

Because boredom has plague me, I will enlist some ideas.

Outer Heaven Ship Exterior: Yes we're going MGS4 bitches, if you recall the fistfight between Liquid Ocelot vs Old Snake. The shape of the arena would be the same, meaning falling off will end with a Ring Out. As well as there would be a no striker allow, distancing each other.

Resident Evil 4 Village: Secluded within a barricaded house, the infected are busting right through, surrounding the environment about. Every 4 post 1 of Las Plagas break through, charging right in. Post 13 Chainsaw guy goes through, death is possible, but being HOH all that will occur is severed legs. Just a thought.

Psych Ward: Do I really need to give details about this can go XD.

Prison Cell: No Striker, its enclosed, and there only a bed and toilet altogether.

Mausoleum: It's your external free-standing building constructed as a monument enclosing the interment space or burial chamber of a deceased person or persons. So that's is a suggestion.

Freezer room: Yes your in an abandoned factory, locked in a freezer. However, there will be disadvantages as the longer you remain, the more hazardous it can become.

How about a church belltower? Cramped fighting space, possibly no STRIKERs, and of course, there are things to do with the bell. xd

Ed's ideas about branching out to some other locales is interesting.

Also, Scrooge McDuck vault is a fukken must.

And ******** no for Savoki's first two suggestions. Why the heck would we rip stages straight from games?

As for me...

Bloodbath Parking Lot (real fight's outside)
Maybe something to do w/ space inside space suits, or at least something with no gravity.

Will think of some more.

For the stages I liked - surprisingly, all of them in the ones I fought. Each had their own different style that made things interesting. Only one I didn't care for too much was the Cargo Plane, and not just because I didn't fight in it, but because besides the whole flying through the air thing, it was pretty dull.

Train Cart, Elevator Stage, Parking lot/garage, and the things connected to the Mansion like the Foyer is a must for HOH 09.

EDIT: Of course Bloodbath Arena.
