Add the following sub-rule to Rule 2.1, entitled Attributes:
On each monster, each Kaiju God may select a single physical feature from their 500 x 250 pixel section. These three physical attributes are listed on that Monsters wiki page.
Each Attribute as a value, known as its threat rating. An attributes threat rating is derived by putting the name of that attribute into Google and using the number of results. A Monsters overall threat rating is the sum of these three figures.
Tokyo may remove or replace any attribute that he thinks is unfair, inaccurate, unjustified or misleading. Alternatively, such attributes may be challenged by a Call for Judgement.
The Google mechanic: because in monster movies, the one with the most awesome power should ALWAYS win, regardless of which would be technically stronger; and Google is the most convenient arbiter of public tastes that we have to hand. As an example, at the time of writing, a fire-breathing armour-plated tentacle monster would look like this:
Fire breath - 2,400,000
Armour Plating - 393,000
Tentacles - 3,260,000
Giving an overall monster rating of 6,057,000.
I’m sure that this will lead to powergaming, but as Kevan observed in his post below, a high threat rating may not be desirable once the army gets involved.
Heh, sounds like fun.
and wait for the Tokyo to make a move.
