Just so you know, KIKEN is the SpiritualSuccessor to X.\\\"

\\\"The things that X and KIKEN have in common is that it is a war centered around a coming apocalypse, between two groups. Often, battles between the groups are held in a remote location which humans have not noticed, or have been talking about for the past few months, like X\\\'s Kekkai or KIKEN\\\'s Hubspace PlayerVersusPlayer areas.\\\"

\\\"In KIKEN\\\'s case, it involves a group of revolutionaries and cynicals erasing the world to create a new and better world, while a group of reformists and idealists reforming the world to make it better. [[{{SlidingScaleLongName}} Sounds familiar, huh!?]]\\\"

\\\"which in X\\\'s case, is the End Of The World, or in KIKEN\\\'s case, is the Conflict of Tin and Brass.\\\"

\\\"But KIKEN deviates as [[spoiler:\\\'\\\'four\\\'\\\' new members join each team]].

Now for the ending, X\\\'s story hasn\\\'t been resolved yet due to [[{{OrphanedSeries}} a hiatus]], while KIKEN has its characters [[{{EarnYourHappyEnding}} earn their happy ending]]. A lot better if in ends in a [[{{BittersweetEnding}} bitter, yet sweet way.]]\\\"

\\\"And no one wants to see a direct alternate retelling of X or KIKEN.\\\"

\\\"If you want to be a SpiritualSuccessor to KIKEN, however, you can\\\'t just question things, you need to [[{{LampshadeHanging}} Lampshade]] the name of the story\\\'s chapter, not just for comic effect, but to have the audience say--
-->\\\'\\\'\\\'Audience\\\'\\\'\\\': OMGLOOK! He just realized what\\\'s really happening by just saying the title of the thing I\\\'m reading!
Well it may not be as straightforward as \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\', probably. But you get the idea. \\\'\\\'I hope.\\\'\\\'\\\"

\\\"But if you really want to \\\'\\\'be\\\'\\\' like KIKEN, your groups must personify the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism. One group must think that HumansAreGood, and that the world can always be a better place, while another believes that FreudWasRight, and that the world is the \\\'\\\'worst place to live in,\\\'\\\' \\\'\\\'[[{{JustAddBitch}} bitch!]]\\\'\\\'\\\"

(That\\\'s actually pretty interesting advice. Well, apart from the last word.)

\\\"Take a look at X\\\'s Shinken or KIKEN\\\'s Hubspacer Equipment.\\\"

And my favourite entry-pimping in this article:
