Historical Accuracy at its finest: Let's Play Romance of the Three Kingdoms III

[Mesden]

You get 5 officer nominations, Snake. Then 20 votes on the masterlist. Also clarifying you may not vote for your own nominees. Use your 20 votes on someone else's characters you like.

[Solid Snake]

Ah-kay. I misinterpreted the way in which officers were chosen. It's all good. I'll take some time to debate my next possible nomination.

Final Fantasy Tactics team go! (Note: Using PSX names on account of not having played the PSP version)

Note: I'm assuming that 50 is average, 100 is max, and that 75-90 is high.

Also, I'm adding two years to the official age of the characters, given that characters actually age during the progression of FFT

Ruler:

Delita Hyral (He actually WAS king, you know.)

Male, row 1, pic 1 (Of the rulers section, remember!), age 19

Intl: Above average (His ability to outsmart nearly everyone was one of his best points.)
Pol: High (He rose from a commoner to become king through every manner of trickery possible.)
Chrm: Low (He was not a popular guy with the people who knew him; he was just so damn good that it didn't matter.)
War: Above average (He has access to a powerful specialty class, but nevers really uses it with a couple exceptions)
Army: High (King. He's naturally gonna control large armies)
Navy: Low (He's never shown on a boat, and the game never hints at any sort of naval combat)

I suppose War could go down to below average in an attempt to balance his stats, if you chose >.>

---------------------------------------------------

Ramza Beolve (Yes, I know it's actually Beoulve, but six letter limit >.>)

S/he (It's a stat growth joke, just go male >.>), row 2 pic 2, age 19

Intl: Average
Pol: Low (He was never very politically minded, and just kinda rushed into things without thinking about what it affected)
Chrm: High (Everyone who got to know him and wasn't a main villain became his best friend. Granted, it's like four people, but still)
War: High (UberSquire is one of the best classes in the game on account of the awesome equips and stats, and above average abilities)
Army: Low (He was a heretic and controlled, at most, five people on his side. Yeah.)
Navy: Low (Never involved in a naval fight, after all)

---------------------------------------------------

Algus Asshat (Well, it was either that, or figure out how to condense Sadalfas into six letters >.>)

Male, row 5, pic 2, age 19

Intl: Low (In the short time you know him, he shows a lot of arrogance and just plain stupidity. Also, he seems to REALLY think non-nobles are another race of people.)
Pol: High (Somehow, he got to be Zalbag's #2 man at Zeakden. He gets points for that)
Chrm: Low as can be (I named him Asshat for a reason)
War: Average (He's nothing special any of the times you fight him)
Army: Above Average (Again, he was the #2 at Zeakden)
Navy: Low (See above)

---------------------------------------------------

Melia doul (It's a long name, okay?)

Female, row 1, pic 2, age 22

Intl: Above average (When you fight her, she has the sense to have a lot of ranged units fighting you from the high ground. That's gotta count for something)
Pol: Average
Chrm: Low (She's never shown getting along well with anybody, really)
War: High (Mighty Sword is a very good skillset)
Army: Above average (She was a Temple Knight, who have a decent sized army)
Navy: Low (See above)

---------------------------------------------------

Agrias Oaks

Female, row 6, pic 4, age 23

Intl: Average
Pol: Below average
Chrm: Average
War: High (Holy Sword, all around great unit)
Army: Above average (Up until joining, she was a holy knight in service of the princess)
Navy: Low

---------------------------------------------------

T.G. Cid (T.G. is one word, Cid is the other)

Male, Row 3, pic 3, age 60

Intl: Average
Pol: Average
Chrm: Above average (I always imagined him with Sean Connery's voice. Instant bonus)
War: Max (Best skillset in the game (Except Mathskill, but we don't count that), and great stats. He was the Lu Bu of FFT)
Army: High (He was known as a great general in his youth)
Navy: Le sigh.

[Mesden]

Just be glad China hates water as much as FFT does. I'll edit those into the OP in a bit when I'm not busy.

[Ogianres]

No love for the Yellow Turbans?

(If able to, please get "actual" portraits of officers 1, 2, 4, and 5. Suggested in-game portraits as alternatives).

1. Officers: Monarc; male, general, high War and Army, moderately high Pol and Chrm, very low Int and Navy, Row 7 face 1, Age 42.
G Man; male, civil, very high Pol and Chrm and Int, very low War and Army and Navy, Row 8 face 2, Age as high as possible.
Dongs; female, general, very low Int and Pol and Chrm, very high War and Army and Navy, row 8 face 2, age 9.
Lurr (of Omicron Persei 8); male, general, lowest Int and Pol and Chrm possible, highest Army then Navy then War possible, Row 8 face 2, age 77.
Frylok; male, civil, High Int and Army and Chrm, low Pol amnd Navy and War, Row 1 face 2, age 24.
(misspellings intentional to fit character limit).

EDIT: I fucking hope that 25 didn't get filled in while I was typing this shit out.
2. Ruler: CaoMei; male, very high War and Army, and extremely low Navy, Pol, and Chrm, Int as high as possible after previous criteria. Row 1 face 1. Age 33.
Cao Mei:
???-???
Cao Mei was an officer who served under lord Yuan Shu during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and at the time used his real name, Li Ru (no not that Li Ru). He fought in minor skirmishes with rogue Yellow Turbans around the central plains. He did not achieve any sort of recognition for his exploits. After Dong Zhuo began his tyrannical rule over the imperial court, Li Ru answered Cao Cao's call to arms. Finding some bizarre infatuation with Cao Cao, he changed his name to Cao Mei, claiming that he was in fact a member of the same dynasty as Cao Cao, and repeatedly attempted to approach Cao Cao about joining his army. He was rejected each time by a lower-ranking officer speaking on Cao Cao's behalf. He claimed that he would instead forge out his vision of the Cao legacy, and unite China under his banner. He died of an unknown brain injury shortly after Dong Zhuo was forced to flee the Han capital.

3. Dong Zhuo's Enemies Unite

4. Liu Zhang, if not then Zhang Lu, if not then Tao Qian, if not then Yuan Shu.

5. Other custom rulers = very yes.

6. Fictional.

[POS Industries]

I have yet to see Dr. Rockso, the Rock-n-Roll Clown, suggested and I'm growing ever more disappointed by the minute, people. I already blew mine on Wal-Mart (always a good decision), so come on. Hop to it!

[Mesden]

Post updated, and there is now an index post/audience participation post underneath the OP.

We're up to 22 characters and 5 rulers. I'm hoping for atleast a few more characters so you guys can actually vote on which 25 gets included, but if this is all we can get, I'll move straight away into voting for a ruler +3 officers (After I show you all the character sheets, of course). I'll start making the characters on Sunday, so you have until late-night then to get your suggestions in!

Also, for the era we play in, we are so far at a tie for Dong Zhuo's Rivals Unite and The Chaotic Era Begins. If we end with a tie I will flip a coin for the winner.

Edit: Alright, coin flipped, and Dong Zhuo's Rivals unite it is. The 22 characters submitted will be placed in the game and now I need you guys to vote on which province our starting ruler is in (As well as whatever provinces you want other starting rulers to be in), which ruler we play, and which characters they have. I'll post profiles up tomorrow morning-afternoon.

[Ogianres]

First off, if we're going to play a custom ruler, then George Bush, with his cronies Barack Obama, Hilldawg, and Dongs. We will be based as far up into the northwest corner as we can, all the way if Ma Teng doesn't already have it.
Next up, Ronald Reagan will be put into number 53, or any of its neighbors if it is already occupied.
Wal-Mart should go into number 25, or, failing that, 23.
Delita Hyral can be put onto number 44 or whichever province borders Meng Huo.
CaoMei should be placed in number 35, or 1 (whichever is available).
If we don't play a custom ruler, then we should be one of the generic nobodies that historically amounted to squat, Tao Qian or Liu Zhang or Zhang Lu, whichever is the most pathetic, with George Bush being placed as before.
Reiterating Fictional mode.

[Solid Snake]

Can't really state a preference for the provinces, but I'd love for Solid Snake to be on our side and likewise vote that Big Boss and Liquid Snake, if possible, err, not be on our side.
As for rulers: I'd prefer to rule as, well, anyone but Bush, because I really want the smug satisfaction of beating the crap out of Georgie.

George Bush has the worst stats of the custom rulers (all low). This is an LP. Ergo, we must choose Bush to play at the greatest possible disadvantage. Suffering and losing are fun.
