Given the comments in the Cynicism thread, that team should rather be a 20 Man band, or an army.

It wouldn't be very idealistic of them to try and overwhelm them with numbers. Hot Blood and manipulation of Conservation of Ninjutsu is preferred.

I think we need more people than five. =< C Trombley is just too good as The Smart Guy, and Jethro makes a better Lancer than I do, which I guess leaves me as... uh... the hero? Or The Chick? ... or... .... The Big Guy?

Hell, I wouldn't mind that. "Smallest Big Guy in history". That's a record, too! And it wouldn't even be out of character, as the guy I "hugged" today can attest. waii

I'm definitely not any Big Guy.

Unless you're talking about my-*smack* Ow! Okay, okay...

One of us could be The Lancer, and the other The Spearcarrier (if that's a trope).

. . .

Spear... heh heh.

I'll carry your spear for you, Matrix. Meow.

Sorry, I derailed this again.

I could also be The Sixth Ranger, since I do have my cynical moments. (like the short time when I was convinced that Pol Pot had shit really figured out)

Ya know, Jethro, you could be the one with Chronic Backstabbing Disorder...

Also, I'd like to ask all the Team Cynic hopefuls who you think should be the team leader. I'm thinking either Lull or EVH. Sorry, Korg, you just aren't up to their level yet.

Or perhaps you want to prove me wrong...

I don't know what position I am but I better be in Team Cynic as well.

Here's team 'No Avatar':

The Hero - Scrounge
The Lancer - Some Sort Of Troper
The Smart Guy - Recon5
The Chick - Madrugada
The Big Guy - Unknown Troper

UT better be The Hero or at least the Spotlight-Stealing Squad because he always gets the most screen time of us no-avvies sad.

Really? Because I see Scrounge the most.

Of course, they have no avatars, so you can't really tell the difference when they're all together.

Oh yeah. I forgot that people can't post on the forum unless they Get Known, which would make UT a distinct individual instead of some extraterrestrial amoeba like ANONYMOUS.

At least, I hope that's the case.

I propose Team Surrealism. (Team Dali? Team Dada?) While I'm not important enough to be in it, I'm sure lots of tropers would fit the bill...

I never wanted to be the leader, so that's just dandy by me.

Lull I would consider more of The Smart Guy for Team Cynic, although to be frank I'm not sure if EVH is leadership material, we might need to wait a while longer for a better candidate. No, NOT Tongpu, he sucks and the only position I'll accept for him is The Chick because it'll probably annoy him.

I take dibs on either The Lancer (my preferred role in a team anyhow) or The Big Guy.

Again with the data mining, dear Aunt?

He'd make a pretty good Lancer, in which case I'll go for Big Guy. Then again, if his avatar is a photograph of him, he looks pretty damn big, too.

Is there a team optimist?
