It's Save My Ace Attorney Character and I have a couple of questions first though

1. What's a good start date? I don't want Save My overload, so I'll probably wait til SMFFFC is close to being over

2. How should I do nominations? I have 10 characters automatically in and would like a process similar to KotM, with multiple noms an hour and no trading nominations.

3. How many characters? I was thinking 50, but I'm open to higher amounts

4. What should the save structure be? I'm sure I'll have to change it based on attendance during the contest, but what's a good starting number?

5. I plan on doing a variety of times for the rounds to start, including dead of night rounds, double rounds and maybe a 24 hours of rounds

6. Thoughts on resurrection rounds? I think it'll be a cool twist on the Save My formula where at the halfway point we do a Kill My and the remaining character comes back.

7. Any other suggestions are welcome, I'd like to introduce some new concepts Save My contests that can really mix up the formula. So please feel free to toss out ideas.

I don't have any useful suggestions but this is an early rallying call for everyone to nominate the two best AA characters, Kay Faraday and Franziska von Karma!

Kay is actually already in as one of the 10 characters.

And I fully intend to nom Franny

The first time running a Save My, you pretty much have to play it by ear and adjust on the fly because you don't know how many people are going to participate. Just do whatever you like and don't feel the need to be like any other contest.

The trading policy can make or break it honestly. If you want it as popular as possible, then allow trading. If it's only barred for nominations, that'd be okay probably but also strange to not allow if you're going to allow trading in the contest itself. The series is popular here, so it is possible for it to thrive even without that aspect but really, people are used to trading in every contest but mine so it's just my personal suggestion that you probably just go all in on that.

Trading during the contest is fine to me.

During noms I probably won't because since at least 40 will be getting in so I don't see a point to it at the current moment. Maybe I will the years after that, since the nomination pool will be smaller

Honestly I prefer Save Mys where trading isn't a thing

Might put the trading to a vote

Also here's who I'm thinking of making the 10 automatic characters, so let me know if anyone has any objections:

Apollo Justice
Athena Cykes
Dick Gumshoe
Ema Skye
Kay Faraday
Maya Fey
Miles Edgeworth
Phoenix Wright
The Judge
Trucy Wright

I'd probably make Mia an auto before I'd put Ema in automatically.

Ema and Trucy are questionable IMHO, but not too big a deal.

Well, I don't object to putting the attorneys and assistants in automatically, along with the Judge and Gumshoe. Athena, Ema, Trucy, and Kay aren't as popular as the others, but whatever.

I was iffy on Ema and Trudy too, but ultimately I wanted a mix of the original trilogy and current trilogy. Pearl and Mia would be the alternate options

Considered, but he was only in one game, so it felt wrong to include him and leave out Franny and Blackquill

Well sure but Godot is incredibly popular despite that.

I mean it doesn't matter, since he'd be nominated in, but yeah.

Auto ins should probably be attorneys, prosecutors, and assistants.

Just my opinion though.

They do not, although characters that originated in the crossover will. Emeer would likely be a top tier priority for me.

That's a good call, just wanted to make sure though.

Yeah, I'd definitely limit it to characters who originated in Ace Attorney.

Also, in terms of auto-ins, you'd probably do fine just putting in the biggest names (Phoenix/Edgeworth/Apollo/Gumshoe/Judge) and opening everything else up to noms. There are about 25 characters or so that are pretty much guaranteed to get in either way though.

Might just do this tbh, I don't too many autos, and I also feel like some autos are too questionable.
