Despite the "open for comments" note, I don't think there is going to be much to break the ice, so I'll just start us off. Or at least say something!
Anyways, the Jounin Exam took a long time to complete. Next time something like this is hosted, I think we should consider a forum battlefield, maybe right here on SL forum. That away, every fight can be archived, and every fight can go at the pace that the last round went to an extent. No one drinking coffee in order to get halfway through a fight, just to fall asleep or any such nonsense!
I know I had fun in the two fights I participated in, the final round being the most difficult of the two. Had i had to fight Kirk, there is a chance I might not would have made it to the finals. Either way, at least one Leaf woulda made it to the finals in that situation.
I didn't get to fight all the participants, and was surprised that in the end, it came down to an even number; two. The three way royale didn't quite happen, but... Maybe that was for the best in this instance.
As I review the fights (both) I can't help but wonder how we are supposed to judge what is and what isn't Chunin and Jonin rank! I mean, after all, the series doesn't really help us much, since people ranked as genin are taming bijuu and killing Hokage-elects! Worst of all, the perceptions of what is Jonin is incredibly different throughout the realm. What Tomi thought was Jounin Commander status Rare reasoned was Jonin status. What I thought would be Chunin status, someone else thought genin and so on.
Next, once the villages come out in a week or so (not sure whether upcoming update is THE update people have coiled and came over) if this event can't be placed on a forum, then is there a chance that a village will host it, such as the Chunin Exams? What about just random Tourneys with weapons, shields, DP, hands in marriage (preference not determined), and maybe even shops to the representative of the winning village? Would people even be interested?
This will hopefully be a discussion starter of sorts.
