Jakusotsu 6,403 Posted July 3 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 Jk11e Ikazuchiarata and below. Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 1.

Never mind the astonishing feat of picking not one but two makekoshi rikishi. I expect an apology, or a promotion, or a new surfboard named Asanoyama.

Jakusotsu 6,403 Posted July 13 Well, essentially you didn't ride on Kitanowaka but on Mudoho after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oskanohana 367 Posted July 13 (edited) 54 minutes ago, Jakusotsu said: Well, essentially you didn't ride on Kitanowaka but on Mudoho after all. I rode on both of them. One more useless than the other, true, but it's my second Kitanowaka pick in a row, and I'm not violating any rules, hence I demand satisfaction. https://imgflip.com/gif/29dqmt (Stupid crap that doesn't allow me to post gifs or jpgs and gives me the stupid forbidden IP address error) Edited July 13 by Oskanohana 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
