Oh god the ultimate choice how will I ever decide.

Welp, seeing as I'm currently reading a green lantern/naruto (I have no idea) cross I'd have to say Naruto.

Basically, my pros/cons for either are these.

Avatar: Easier to form a plot arc, saner magic system, firm established universe. But more limited magic as a whole, and some intricacies of the setting and mythos still elude me. And not much variety in enemies and their tactics either.

Naruto: Ludicrous amounts of fun possible with the jutsu system when every player can attempt to invent his own. Flashier and more diverse abilities overall, conveniently massive land to have a sidequest in, plus the whole thing with ninjas is a rather appealing concept. But the universe is a clusterf*ck of adaptations that make trying to fit in in a coherent way very hard (not that a lot of people will mind any errors in my interpretations), and the whole thing with the Japanese language will really strain my imagination (because I'll need to come up with original names for things).

All in all, Narutoverse would probably make for a more interesting experience, but at a greater cost in time and effort than Avatarverse. Plus the Avatarverse is probably closer to most players. I still don't get what's with all the anime segregation I'm seeing in places.

... The Narutoverse has stuff like the Distracting Pornography Technique. There is no way you can't include that.

Yeah... with the extra power... and spinning...

There's a downside to that too though. Or an upside... depending on your opinion on such things. You see, I have a tendency to include illustrations in my narrative... which might not end so well.

More rotation! >.> I think Narutoverse will be the most amusing. ;D

Fate/Stay Night: OOC thread - Serious talk about the canon characters' bisexuality, gravity rape, Noble Phantasm balance, Tiruin's character level of dumbness versus naivete, how sick and tainted my mind is, linguistics and much more.

What more do you need?

Ehh, for balance-sake and less intentional lingering (Naruto is a sandbox-type with really powerful stuff, Avatar is also sandboxy, less powerful) I'd go with Avatar:TLA. Just from a player balance perspective, ofc. If they run into it 5-6 world it doesn't matter which, really. Naruto does better as a late world, Avatar better as an early world. Vote-wise Naruto is going to win because its more popular, I figure.

From what I've seen, Avatar is actually more popular, vote-wise.

People in the Narutoverse have a habit of trying not to kill, (Atleast earlier on) due to ninja morals. Only the bad guys kill people. Fortunately, this has changed somewhat, of late. I think...

I'm suddenly tempted to include both Avatar and Naruto... though that'll mean ditching a perfectly good prepared world.

Nope. 9 worlds, only 9. No more, no less.

Alright then, I'll keep it quantum. When/if you do pick that world number, I'll see which one you're better suited for, and use the other one. :P

And, on a note that has nothing to do with one of this game's worlds, at all, did you know? Apparently, a certain "Carmageddon: Resurrection" is planned for release in 2012. So, maybe all that talk about the end of the world in 2012 was simply misreading "Armageddon" instead of "Carmageddon"?
