Stay strong, Olga.

"The Holy Grail War had changed."

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who got all kinds of MGS flashes from this.

This is cool, I look forward to knowing more.

Thank you for the comments so far. ^^; i admit i really wanted to get this on a page outside of my head. Chaldea Security Organization was a name and logo that came up in the last GO promotional material, i believe, and while nothing suggests it'll actually be MGS4, it made me think of the "global HGW" as a battle of PMCs.

The ratio system is somewhat inspired by fighting games like Skullgirls or Vs. games - assuming each fake Grail can manage a "3", most companies opt for a single three-point Servant, or in Rin's case, a 2 and a 1. Canopy makes the unusual decision to go all in for three 1s, banking on a versatile squad rather than a powerful one. Though Servant choice is also limited by ideology - there are a lot who would resent being "used" as dogs of the military or for petty squabbles, so this presents a war where you'd pick Servants whose ideology aligns with the setting. Would they compete for fun, for national pride, those sorts of things? it isn't like anyone would trust Gil to play along in an episode of black lagoon.

Overall it feels like a fun concept to play with, just one that's outside of my familiarity - i can build the world but i don't have much experience with the plot theme. i'll probably slot in some more faceclaims later tonight, at least for Ducat and probably for CCC (i tortured the name trying to maintain that acronym, lol).

This is my jam.

If you're going to do a Grail War, why not spice it up a little? I never caught that bit about a Chaldea Security Organization, so this is all brand spanking new to me, and I love every bit of it, particularly the notion of the main group having to make the most of things with three mediocre Servants instead of the one or the other combos like Genji Security and Blood Diamonds. I've only been able to figure how a few of the Servants so far, but the premise has enough pull all on its own that I don't need to know the players to know that I would love to see this in action.

Death ray? Loli Tesla?

Also the idea is an interesting one.

Aha, I'm glad to see all of our discussion has resulted in some rather cool ideas. It also pleases me that I know basically everyone on the list, so I shan't give anything away.

I'd definitely want to see this written if it were possible, but it's a cool idea nonetheless.

Very cool. But I always get to say that about your ideas, because you've got some kind of fantastic creative instinct.

Yeah, I ain't calling you NC, so Nuke it is.

I'm now apparently a weapon of mass destruction.

Lancer is the one I've published the least of. Too many of my Lancers are in a still-fragmentary state of completion.

All the Irish Lancers ended up too similar to each other :/

Oh, I knew you were kidding. I just didn't know whether to comment about it or not. And yeah, I think I have a slight Caster bias, given my earlier work.

Hah, yeah. I can see the Caster bias. I have a strong Berserker bias. It's kind of odd, Berserker isn't what you'd expect to be your most popular class.

Nah, the one in my sig is a bona fide index of all my entries on CAS.

This one here: http://blogs.nrvnqsr.com/entry.php/2...rone-of-Heroes

Also I have more of a Caster bias than I realized, assuming you can actually count Girl Genius and Kaleid Journey Prisma-Saiyuki.

Angel, you have stuck a dagger in my heart.

Yeah, he was kinda the first to do it, which makes it quite funny when you look at the first comment on my index.

Credit where credit is due
