Randomitsuki Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 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). 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). Jokers are additional rikishi you can pick. In addition to the regular rikishi you pick for a basho, you can use as many jokers as you've still left. E.g., at the beginning of a wave you could pick four rikishi instead of one (regular + all jokers). As a consequence, the most successful one of these four will determine your new banzuke position. But on the downside this would mean that you don't have any jokers left for later bashos. So pick jokers wisely, three isn't much for a wave that might run for much more than a year. Deadline is shonichi 8 AM JST. All players are allowed to pick jk17w Iwanaga and below.
Randomitsuki Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 Ganzohnesushi picks jk30e Ogata in a hurry.
Odoriou Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Jk27w Mikitensho and Jk30e Ogata for me, please. (Yusho winner...)
Profomisakari Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I too want to surf with Jk30e Ogata Profomisakari
Terarno Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Hi. I would like to pick W-Jonokuchi 27 Mikitensho please, if he's not kyujo.... again. And as a joker : W-Jonokuchi 22 Daishoai. Thanks.
Itachi Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I'll go with Ogata but I'll use a joker to pick Mikitensho as well (is the kyujo streak finally about to end?)
Asafan Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Not very original, but...(In a state of confusion...) jk30 Ogata
sekihiryu Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 looks like its an Ogata whitewash...mark me down too!
Fujisan Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 One of these days someone in the know is gonna pick a one legged blind man to lead us all astray but until then.... Jk 30 Ogata (Fujisan-shameless bandwagon jumper)
Vikanohara Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Let's be very unoriginal : Jk30e Ogata :-D
Bunijiman Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Somebody obviously knows something that I don't... So I'll pick Jk30e Ogata
Oshirokita Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 What a limited selection to choose from. I was going to use a joker but I think I will just ride the bandwagon with: jk30e Ogata - Oshirokita
