1). The avatar has been chosen. I'll be keeping it a secret who it is, though. Curse you Humbra and your secretness!

2). After the tournament there'll be a war between two nations. This thread is a poll for which nations will go against each other. The top two voted wars will be chosen.
So during the war is it going to be in affecct in all the threads, so that if something happens in say Omashu it could affect something in Ba singse or vice versa?

Thought 1: Ranks and commanding groups of NPCs?
'Captains': Anyone [LB]-6 and above can control eight [Gru]-5 or eight [Asn]-5.
'Commanders': Anyone [MB]-9 and above can control sixteen [Gru]-6 or Sixteen [Asn]-6.
'Warlords': Anyone [MB]-12 and above can control sixteen [Mser]-9 or Sixteen [Min]-9.
That sounds really cool, but I think it should also have it's drawbacks, at least for comanders, and captains. Perhaps we could have groups of users form there own squads, for instance Yoko Jing, and Milo could form and act as an independent sect similar to Jet's band.
Where as the actuall armies could operate on a more militant standard. Captains would have to pledge aleigence to a commander who would have to pledge aleigence to Warlords
Commander's could cancel a captains attack and order them to withdraw from the thread.
Warlords could do the same for commanders and captains,.
If the captain or commander refuses to obey their orders they lose aid of siege weapons.

Thought 2: Seige weapons?
That would add a whole new dimension to combat, and open up a little biut more backstory possibillities.
Since all the weapons seen in the mechanist are now in widespread use have been tweaked to side more with each element an earth tank would retain it's metal frame but would utilize the ground they ide across to increase their speed or add extra protection.
THe bridges used in the siege of Omashu could also work on similar principils.

Thought 3: Actually taking over threads? For example: if the Water Nation took over Shizu'Agara then Shizu'Agara would be moved to the Water Nation forum? o.o That's a thought, isn't it?
wink
THe would just be plain awsome, and would really give a reason for users to battle. It would also add a lot more stratagy, for instance if most of the earrth king's cities were taken Ba Sing Se would become over populated, and if the earth king attacks a city in the fire nation he would have to move soilders out of ba sing se or other cities.
Here are some ideas I would like to place on the table that are totally unrelated to the qouted ideas
Thought 1: Time skip: BAssicly have a few month skip that allows events that members are working on to be reolved with out waiting for them to finish posting (they can work it out in p.ms) The plus to this is that it starts every thread on a clean slate and makes it easier for new users to join in.
Thought 2: Perhaps crops could be used as well, after all cabbages could cause damage to ba sing se, and other crops could have affects on the other nations. for instance the egg gas from the mechanist could be fed to the polar leapords which would cause a suddedn shortage in the south pole's food supply.
