Bayou Battle: Barb Wire would do well to hire some anonymous bodyguards if she wants any chance of slowing down...

They're heroes on the half-shell.

Space Cowboy said...: i agree, very weak. Especially since in the Bayou Code of Honor it states:

If using a pre-existing character or hero, try to use it in a novel or creative way.

This is neither...; April 21, 2008 at 9:48 PM

How do they have over twenty years of experience if they're TEENAGE mutant ninja turtles?; April 21, 2008 at 9:56 PM
the Killer Dynamo said...: They never fought Barb Wire on the show, or in the film. I applied the name of their arch-villain to the power of an unrelated hero, citing their experience fighting him as it would apply to the battle at hand. I thought that was sufficiently novel.

And this isn't the first time an already existing hero was used in a similar fashion. I didn't hear anyone complaining when Steve Irwin showed up to control some renegade reptiles. Why all the fuss when the TMNTs arrive to crush something that has the power to shred? Both already existed before this game, and both were used in the manner for which they are best known.

I'm not trying to break the rules, but if I'm using previous posts as a guideline for what's acceptable, then you've got to keep consistent with how the rules function.

Also, I love the Bayou Battle, it makes my work day halfway palatable.; April 23, 2008 at 9:13 AM
