Mission Critical Poll - OP: Fire Storm

As you know by now Operation: Firestorm is my first official TOURNAMENT arc and I want to make it into the most exciting and jaw-breakingly sexy event you've ever seen. Ambitious? Yes. But that's why you are here for right? So let's do this.

That said, there is one issue I want your input on, as every other decision will cascade from THIS ONE.

The matter at hand is the overall SCALE of the project. Though we already have a predetermined format for Strikeforce stories, I do not want us to be constrained by pre-set parameters if it means delivering a product that isn't what it's meant to be.

And! One of the key variables that will define the SCALE is in fact the number of FIGHTERS involved in the tournament. Originally, I had planned for a total of 8 fighters. Two of which are Luna and Maya. But a voice in the back of my mind kept nudging me to double that number, for more sexy women, more fights, with a total of 16 fighters.

Obviously, regardless if it's 8 or 16 fighters, we wouldn't be able to portray ALL the fights in their full extent on a blow-by-blow basis. That would require an eternity that we don't have. But even though we'd skim through the highlights of some of these encounters, we would still get a fair share of mouth-watering variety through the expanded eye-candy.

Not only that, but I feel the larger SCALE builds upon the story of the size of the operation that the Countess runs as she 'collects' fighters from across the globe for whatever devious plans she has in store for them.

BUTT! Larger cast does also mean - longer pre-production time. Requiring me to set up a lot more characters before the first kick is even delivered, extending the total production time even more before we can even start shooting the action.

So I leave this decision to you. If we choose to keep it tight with 8 fighters, I will use ONE more week of pre-production before Strikeforce begins rolling, as I currently have 85% of the things I need to get started. If we choose to go big with 16 fighters, I will require at least TWO more weeks of pre-production, but the end result will pack a bigger punch.

Don't worry though, whether we choose to go tight or go big, I'll definitely show you what I'm cooking in the usual sneak peek format.

Time to make the call, agent.
