Jakusotsu 6,403 Posted April 29 Hi there, this is to invite you to participate in Banzuke Surfing in the upcoming basho. The rules are very simple. Banzuke Surfing is run in several waves, with a new wave starting every year. The goal is to move up the banzuke as far and fast as possible. You do so by temporarily "adopting" one or more rikishi at a given banzuke position. If your rikishi moves up the banzuke, so will you, if the rikishi moves down by getting MK, so will you (at least, if all your picked rikishi move down). If your rikishi goes intai, you will get his last position next time. In the basho after the current one you will be taking the banzuke position of the best-placed rikishi you've picked this time. If your name appears on the list below, you have already participated. The column "Allowed Picks" shows you which rikishi of the banzuke you are allowed to pick next basho. If you are participating for the first time, you are allowed to pick any of the rikishi in the bottom 32 of the banzuke (as indicated below). The rikishi that you are allowed to pick are all rikishi below your last (or most successful) pick. So generally, you cannot pick the same rikishi twice. An exception is if your rikishi drops into the last 32 of the banzuke or goes banzuke-gai. In this case, of course, you can pick any of the bottom 32 rikishi (just like a new player). During your entire career of a given wave you can use up to three so-called jokers (indicated by the number of asterisks behind your name). In addition to the regular rikishi you pick for a basho, you can use one joker if still available. The more successful one of these two will determine your new banzuke position. Deadline is shonichi 8 AM JST. All new players are allowed to pick Jk10e Shunta and below. Winner Last Surfer Position Banzuke 1.

Oortael 156 Posted May 25 Good thing I chose kosho for this one, only Endo and Sadanoumi would have advanced me, and no chance I would've taken either. To quote a smart 30yo AI : "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakura 1,524 Posted May 26 I wish Hakuoho wasn't; psired up with all those Sanyaku. Aonishiki may have got me to the shore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
