Ok, this is to decide the arena after the CISOD is finished.
I'd prefer we not do CC, or Ultimate, because we've done so many of those. I'd like to venture into the arenas we rarely do, and ones we have yet to do, so please decide among these. if you don't recognize an arena, look it up in the archives.
If we were to do legions, i'd need to get Phoenix to run it and everything, because he's the person who knows the most about how that works. he and i may decide to condense it down into "Legions for Dummies" (we'd still call it legions though) but we'd make it simpler and change rules and such.

Is unlimited the only one that you can use non PD weapons in?

Nah, you can use non-PD weapons in OWE arenas, that's what I'm personally pulling for.
Then again, I wouldn't mind seeing an Arena Mayhem setup. Something about the hectic pace caused by the constantly changing arenas appeals to me. Especially (new idea?) if we just cut out the "I fly there in my ship" downtime between arenas, and everyone is randomly transported when the new arena is announced. I think this could spawn some interesting setups.
But somehow, I think I'll be outvoted on this one...

OWE uses other weapons.
i want to try legions, but as previously stated, i need to talk with Phoenix about it.

N3B: Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the idea of legions, it reminds me of the tabletop wargames I used to (and occasionally still do) play. The only problem I see with it is that it tends to be a bit exclusive.
The only characters who have any business commanding their own legions would really appear to be Phoenix, Majora, Golden Magnum, Snake and *perhaps* Razor (by extension, their teammates could be involved). The rest of us don't control the resources, or command the manpower, necessary to field a legion. Heck, I don't even have ONE vehicle, let alone an entire division of them.
I'm not the only one in this situation. Sure, a lot of us could make up some transparent reasons to command a legion, but most of us are WAY OOC at the head of such a large combat force.
Again, I would love to see a legions battle occur, I just can't see a feasible way to get many of the players here involved.
Am I totally barking up the wrong tree here?

yeah, i've considered this myself, but that's why we'd have to make a "legions for dummies" version.

Really, I think that legions should be a two-way or three-way thing, not everyone.

Yeah, lol...I have a legions profile, but I never did it...I came in too late. It doesn't really have to be in connection with your character's story. Mine, however, has become quite affluent in the mercenary business, and can hire and pay many forces.

haha as a one of the strongest bounty hunters in the universe you would be suprised which low lifes would love to serve in order to get you off their back:). Blackmail was on of God's greatest gifts mwahahaha. Not that I really care for God or anything:-/. And since unlimited is described as no rules I think that pretty much says you can use other weapons.

Hmmm... I need to come here more often... anyways, heres my couple cents.
I like legions and all, but it does require a lot more effort to start off with, and it doesn't appeal to everyone. Most Legions games usually result in a large lack of posting problem or other. Of course, if you people decide to go through with it I would be more than glad to help run it or even "dumb it down" somewhat.
Of course, if we were looking towards something more traditional and focused on the individual perhaps, Arena Mayhem or World Tour would be quite interesting. Of course, my only concern them is Arena Mayhem might just have too much mayhem and nobody would know where the hell they are. I won't vote for now, but I'm interested in seeing how things turn out. Perhaps I can start posting often again heh.
