Well, nice summary! You should see what MA thinks about that!

Well, I certainly have no objection to that. My only complaint would be that it doesn't fit into Ishinabe's time frame, but we can always have the challenger "request" Ishinabe's presence in a special battle.
I am a little wary of letting new members take on big roles in the RPG, though. ICC, if you take this on, you have to absolutely promise to update your player at least once a day. It's a big responsibility, and we can get pretty nasty if one member holds up the entire RPG. Do you still want to take this on? Promise you'll keep up?

Also, it is a good idea to read through a few of the previous RPGs just to get the feel of what to do.

I would say with that kind of character intro he should have no problem with his descriptions in the RP. I vote we give him a shot.
Didn't I play a challenger in my first RP?

I'm willing to give him a chance, as long as he promises to stay with it and do his part daily. He certainly seems dedicated enough- I just need his word. Then we'll get this show on the road.

Well, I'm willing to give it a try. I'm a little unclear on the concept, though. I was under the assumption that players were, in essence, acting brand-new roles and that we're all assuming that "Kitchen Stadium Tokyo" didn't close down, just keeping going concurrently with KSNY.

Not exactly. Misteetheironchef first took advantage of C-A-C(create a challenger) in the first RPG. You can also act out a previous challenger, Iron Chef, Hattori, Otha, or any of the judges that appeared in ICJ. All that is off limits is any people that appears in ICA(aside from Morimoto for obvious reasons). If I missed anything, I'm sure that MA will correct me.
Basically, if you pick a person that appears in ICJ, keep them in character.

Basically, if you pick a person that appears in ICJ, keep them in character. All right. How about if I give you a choice of challenger? "If memory serves me right, there are two ways of learning to become a great culinary master. One is to attend the finest cooking schools in the world, apprenticing with the most skilled master chefs. The other is to spend a lifetime in trial and error, learning by doing and and all the while understanding the stuff of great cooking. "Our proposed challenger would fall into this latter category. Rising from humble beginnings to become one of Canada's most beloved food experts, he is known as The Urban Peasant, James Barber."Born in 1923, Mr. Barber's résumé certainly does not read like that of a master chef. According to his biography, he has been described as an engineer, soldier, sailor, minor, journalist and actor. Certainly the closest job to a professional chef he will admit to was as a cook in a mining camp. But he says that experience taught him the value of improvisation in cooking: making the best of whatever ingredients are available. This is certainly a talent to be valued in any master chef. "It was perhaps as a journalist that he first came to the attention of the dining public, as food critic for Vancouver magazine in his native British Columbia. But it was the publication of his first cookbook, Fear of Frying, that brought his name forward to the culinary world. And it was his television series, The Urban Peasant, which permanently cemented his reputation as a food expert to be reckoned with. "In each episode, Barber espouses his cooking philosophy: don't be afraid of exploring new ingredients, learn not to be tied down to conventional recipes. While no stranger to the devices and appliances created for the homemaker's convenience, he prefers to keep his techniques simple and learnable. The results are dishes that are a surprise to the casual diner, yet comfort food for a true gourmet. "Now, Mister Urban Peasant! Let us see how your cooking philosophy fares under the heat and pressure of my Kitchen Stadium!" So what do you think? Would you like me to do a previous competitor, or try one who's never competed but would be an interesting one nonetheless?

Okay, now I'm confusing myself.
Our RPGs fit into the original Iron Chef continuity. They take place in the original Kitchen Stadium. We make them as if they were unbroadcast episodes of ICJ. We're not ignoring anything that actually happened on the show, we're just making episodes that fit around the real episodes. ICA hasn't happened yet in our RPGs, we just bounce around the 90s depending on which Iron Chef is being used.
If you're a challenger, you either:
a) Make up a challenger or b) Use a real challenger who actually competed on the show and have him return in a revenge match
We make the RPGs as if they could have actually happened in ICJ. I hope that was clear, I was beginning to get mixed up myself, lol. Just think of these RPGs as ICJ episodes you've never seen before.
As for your challenger's background, that's something you should PM me after you've decided who you are going to be, whether you make up your challenger or use an existing one. And (although it makes things a lot easier on me), you don't have to write it up from Kaga's point of view. I'll do that later. You just have to give me the basics about your character. I mean, you're more than welcome to write it all up, but considering you'll also have to create your dishes, I figure you already have enough on your plate.

Okay, in that case I'll use James Barber, the Urban Peasant. He was certainly active during the 90s, and I think "what-if" situations are more interesting.

Okay, let's do it. The RPG will most likely start tomorrow. ICC, I recommend you look through the last few RPGs and get the feel for them. Remember:
Always list your character name and a colon before putting words into your mouth: Kaga: If memory serves me right...
Surround all actions with asterisks: *flips wok*
When making a post outside of the RPG, surround it with lines:
Post -------------- Like this. -------------- End
So get ready, everyone! We will begin soon!

Oh, I almost forgot MA. If I'm playing two judges the one sitting with Hattori will be Hikari Ishida. I think she only judged once but I could be wrong. Either way since she was a young actress (back then) and just missed Ishinabe I'm going to play it up as a real treat for her.

This battle will be very interesting. *smirks* Can't wait to see it all played out.

So, we have the following:
Kaga/Fukui: Man Alive! Iron Chef Ishinabe: allezcuisine Challenger James Barber: ironchefcanadian Hattori: Sanji Himura Ohta: mickster *Okada Masumi: achen *Hikari Ishida/Kazuko Hosoki: Arrianna Asako Kishi: missteetheironchef
*Judge will be sitting with Doc Hattori and Fukui.
Correct?
