Battle check!

Inexorable Altercation [IA]
The Gradual Massacre [GM]
Intense Struggle Season Two [ISS2]
The Fatal Conflict [FC]
The Great Belligerency [GBe]
The Grand Battle Season Three [GBS3]
The Spectacular Exhibition [SE]
The Petty Squabble [PS]
The Glorious Championship [GC]

Nine. Only nine. And none of them in Season One. We had such a promising start to the week, too.

Can we squeeze in a few more updates before the end of the week? Let's find out!

Edit: And our total is now at 10. Hooray, that's only one less battle than updated last week.

The Vivacious Deadlock [VD]

[Dragon Fogel]

Friday check! We still need the following battles to update:

IS, BM, SB, IA, BRS2, GM, ISS2, PF, FC, GBS3, SE, RS

That's 12 battles to go. Let's see what we can get done before tomorrow evening, shall we? Season 1 and 2 both could stand significantly more posts.

[Dragon Fogel]

Time for another battle check! Where are we at?

The Grand Battle II [GB2]
The Grand Battle Season Two [GBS2]
The Battle Royale Season Two [BRS2]
The Gradual Massacre [GM]
The Great Belligerency [GBe]
The Petty Squabble [PS]
The Glorious Championship [GC]
The Vivacious Deadlock [VD]
The Wretched Rite [WR]

That's nine. Let's hope we get another battle or two updating before the night's over, because I do not like this trend of one less battle updating every week.

[Dragon Fogel]

And it's the Friday morning check. Let's see what we still need posts in.

Season 1:
GB2, IS

Season 2:
IA, BRS2, PF, GBe

Season 3:
GBS3, SE, GC, VD

Good news, on the whole: we're already up to last week's total, and we still have today and tomorrow for posting! Plus we have some infrequently-posted in battles taken care of.

Get posting, everyone! Let's make this a great week for battle updates.

[Dragon Fogel]

Well! It's been a good week for posts. Let's see what updated!

Season One:
Intense Struggle [IS]
The Battle Majestic [BM]
The Savage Brawl [SB]

Season Two:
The Grand Battle Season Two [GBS2]
Inexorable Altercation [IA]
The Gradual Massacre [GM]
Intense Struggle Season Two [ISS2]
The Phenomenal Fracas [PF]
The Fatal Conflict [FC]

Season Three:
The Spectacular Exhibition [SE]
The Relentless Slaughter [RS]
The Petty Squabble [PS]
The Wretched Rite [WR]

Thirteen battles. A nice increase from the last few weeks. And there's still time for more to make it in!

Edit: Another battle! We're at 14 for the week!

The Glorious Championship [GC]

[Eversist]

T'was a good week.

[Dragon Fogel]

Now we're up to 15! Amazing!

The Battle Royale Season Two [BRS2]

[Dragon Fogel]

Doing my unofficial check early this week, because we're already doing an impressive job.

Here's what we've got left to update!

Season 1: BM, SB
Season 2: GBS2, IA, BRS2, PF
Season 3: GC

In addition, I have decided on a new reward incentive. There will be a reward every week we get 20 posts across canon battles. This should be pretty common, but it's not bad to encourage it. And I'm going to say that every 10 posts above that warrants an additional reward.

We've already earned the reward for 20 posts this week, which is pretty cool. Can we hit 30?

To review, here is the current rewards system.

-Reward for all Season 1 battles updating: Unspecified cool thing
-Reward for all Season 2 battles updating: Unspecified cool thing
-Reward for all Season 3 battles updating: Unspecified cool thing
-Reward for all battles updating: Grand Battle High update, in addition to above rewards
-Reward for 20 posts a week: Unspecified cool thing
-Reward for every additional 10 posts a week: Another unspecified cool thing

If somebody wants to offer something more concrete for one of the unspecified cool things, I'll make a note of it.

Thanks for all your hard work this week, everyone! We are totally going to make Fearsome Encounter start next Saturday.

[Dragon Fogel]

Congratulations, everyone!

Now we just need to do it again next week, and the Fearsome Encounter will start.

[ch00_bakka]

I believe that totals up to five unspecified cool things. Wow.

[bobthepen]

Wouldn't it be cool if we updated every battle before saturday? We may even get see FE start this week!

I now open the floor to what our "unspecified cool things" will be.

I suggest an IRC party.

Edit: Second Suggestion:

A comprehensive list of Grand Battle OTP's. Ranked by canonicity.

[Akumu]

Another episode of the GB podcast?

[Not The Author]

A Grand Boodle. Anyone who has looked at VD recently will know what I'm talking about.

[Eversist]

I propose (again) gender-bending the characters. Short comics with characters interacting that may not even be in the same season...

Um. Backstories for GMs or other characters? Hm.

[Schazer]

I still want characters leaping out of sexycakes.

I nominate Pharmacy's thing as one of our cool things.

Super Unoffical Check!

So unofficial that Fogel isn't even involved!

So far this week we have 21 updates and 13/19 battles updated.

Here's what needs to update:
Season 1: GBII, IS, BM
Season 2: GBS2, ISS2
Season 3: RS

All in all things are going great and we already have one Unspecified Cool Thing for this week. Everyone get back to updating those battles.

[Dragon Fogel]

Hello, early check here.

Only GB2 and ISS2 remain to update this week. So, instead of noting battles which haven't updated, I will note battles that have had only one update this week.

Season One: IS, BM
Season Two: IA, BRS2, GM
Season Three: GBS3, RS, PS

Can we get a second post in all of those battles, two posts in ISS2, and two posts in GB2 all in the next two days, and consequently earn two GB High updates? Let's find out!

[Dragon Fogel]

So here are this week's results.

Season One:
The Grand Battle II [GB2]
Intense Struggle [IS]
The Battle Majestic [BM]
The Savage Brawl [SB]

Season Two:
The Grand Battle Season Two [GBS2]
Inexorable Altercation [IA]
The Battle Royale Season Two [BRS2]
The Gradual Massacre [GM]
Intense Struggle Season Two [ISS2]
The Phenomenal Fracas [PF]
The Fatal Conflict [FC]
The Great Belligerency [GBe]

Season Three:
The Grand Battle Season Three [GBS3]
The Spectacular Exhibition [SE]
The Relentless Slaughter [RS]
The Petty Squabble [PS]
The Glorious Championship [GC]
The Vivacious Deadlock [VD]
The Wretched Rite [WR]


That's EVERY battle!

Not only that, we have more than 30 posts, and every battle in Season 2 had two posts this week!

So! We get a GB High update for every battle updating.

We get a cool thing for every S1 battle updating.
We get two cool things for every S2 battle updating twice.
We get a cool thing for every S3 battle updating.

We get a cool thing for 20 total posts, and another for 30.

I'm still not sure what exactly counted as last week's cool things, but we got lots of excellent burger pictures from Pharmacy. I'm sure we can sort that out later.

[Dragon Fogel]

So it's Thursday! Let's see what still needs to update by Saturday night.

Season 1: GB2, IS, BM, SB
Season 2: GBS2, IA, GM, ISS2, PF
Season 3: SE, RS, PS

We are understandably somewhat worn out after getting every battle to update two weeks in a row. Still, it would be good to get some more battles off this list by the end of the week, particularly in Season 1 where none of the battles have updated yet.

[Dragon Fogel]

Well, it's Saturday night. You know what that means, it's time to check which battles updated!

Season One:
The Battle Majestic [BM]
The Savage Brawl [SB]

Season Two:
Inexorable Altercation [IA]
The Battle Royale Season Two [BRS2]
The Gradual Massacre [GM]
Intense Struggle Season Two [ISS2]
The Fatal Conflict [FC]
The Great Belligerency [GBe]

Season Three:
The Grand Battle Season Three [GBS3]
The Glorious Championship [GC]
The Vivacious Deadlock [VD]
The Wretched Rite [WR]

Total posts at the moment: 17

Twelve battles and seventeen posts. A bit light, but not bad considering we had two consecutive weeks of heavy activity.

Season 2 is two battles away from a full set of updates. And we are three posts away from 20.

Let's see if we can cut those numbers down before the end of the night, shall we?

Update: 20 posts! Unspecified cool thing, whoo. No new battles yet, though SpecEx has a post in progress.

Update again: A 13th battle has updated!
