Wait, you have the Hulk's mind in the body of a regular human?
BTW, Dr. Strange is my mind and Zoom is my body.
Papa Smurph
Yup Hulk's Mind/Strength/Rage
In Fate's Body which includes the Helm and Amulet
Basically World War Fate
and Amadeous Cho is not going to save you from being broken in half by Hulk and his new found mystical prowess
King Kandy
So basically you have:
Hulk's mind with no corresponding Gamma radiation to make it work.
Fate's body without any of the equiptment that comes with the mind category.
Nothing really.

Nope, I have a merger of Hulk/Fate/Sato
Except Fate's body replaces Hulk's and Hulk's mind has replaced Fate's.

Exactly.
Fate has no gamma radiation in his body, and Hulk has no mystical powers in his mind.
Papa Smurph
Originally posted by King Kandy

Fate having no gamma radiaton just gets rid of the draining tactic. He still contains Hulk's unlimited strength stamina and regenaritive powers.
King Kandy
Do whatever you want. I don't care actually.
Papa Smurph
Are we going to start using common sense and stop picking for loopholes, or do I get to argue that the god's who give Strange his power will not react to Zoom's body?
King Kandy
You could argue that. In fact I am looking forward to you trying to prove that if we have a match.
Papa Smurph
No I couldn't because your amalgam is a merger between Strange and Zoom
Just like how my amalgam is a merger between Sato/Fate/Hulk.
The amalgam's receive all powers from the characters that don't stack.
IOW
My amalgam is Fate's body and magic with Hulk's strength, stamina, regeneration and Sato's aversion field and Hulk controlling the reigns (with complete knowledge of how Fate's magic works as well as Fate and how Sato's field works as well as Sato).
but I hope that when you vote for matches you don't decide who wins based on manipulating the rules to your liking.
King Kandy
Apparently you didn't hear me when I said I was not interested in debating this subject.
Papa Smurph
I don't really care if you're interested in debate or not, you've pointed out a rule that doesn't exist and goes against what an amalgam is. I'ma need clarification from Evangel.

Well I'm hoping that this tournament does still go forward... I think that Eva has done a very admirable job of creating a tournament that actually makes people think a little more than most I think are used to.

He's pretty obscure, but what I've of him, he is jumping into old ladies and fat security guards, nothing to indicate he is on the level of possessing a herald. I guess thats the risk you take when you draft obscure characters.

Possession wouldn't be allowed anyway, it's clearly mind-control.

....
As for the Doctor, Stacks' universe-creation claim was incorrect, Classic Strange is roughly his equal and is being allowed for 6 points, and I'd remind everyone that he might not get wins in a heads-up match against Classic Strange, Fate, Mogo, possibly even my own Thor. And a lot of his "deus ex machina" powers are only available through purchases that are too expensive for me to afford. If anyone has further complaints, I'm willing to discuss it, but that should lay the matter to rest.

Saw that. Edited my post at the bottom. I haven't seen one clear argument against him from anyone, so it's a bit of a shock. Mogo was debated for pages on end, so at least with something like that Smurph had ample opportunity to ponder the possibility of him gettign banned. I'd like to at least know why he's above Strange, or how he is above herald when he's stripped of the stuff that I can't afford to purchase. I'm not in the business of complaining for the sake of it, but I'd at least like to see the justification for it.

http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/d/doctor.htm
According to this link:
"The Doctor can do virtually anything if he puts his mind to it. He is capable of transforming living matter and teleporting people at a thought. On one occasion he even held Italy stationery while the rest of the Earth continued to move, causing it to vanish under the Mediterranean.
The latest Doctor is actually a great deal more powerful than Doctors past; he describes himself as the first Doctor and the last Doctor (apparently he has all the memories of Doctors past in addition to his own). No reason seems to have been given why he is so much more powerful than his predecessors. "
Its still pretty unclear about his level of power, and I am not familiar with him, so I have to assume to maximum for his power. IE Bending Reality to his whim. And Dr. Strange is not drafted as "classic". Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, I simply am trying to address all questionable choices.
EDIT:
I am using this as a benchmark for Herald level. If your character can beat, before succumbing to the rules of the tournament, without any preparation, in an impromptu battle, a full out Silver Surfer, Sentry, Superman, Thor, or Loki individually, then they are above Herald level.
DigiMark007
Bending reality is banned, and costs about 20 pts. And I was never clear as to how "reality manip" is different than organic and/or inorganic matter manip (the former of which is also banned and too expensive, and the former of which we've discussed in PMs). The distinction seems nonexistent, and I'm not even sure what reality manip. means.
As for the rest, teleporting (so is NC'er banned?), telekinesis (the Italy feat)...how is holding Italy in place for a few seconds > planet busting?
Yeah, he's powerful. But he's a herald-type magic user that has most of his >> herald stuff blocked because of the purchases.
If he's banned, that's fine. I'll accept it willingly. But it's still a bit of a blindside since there was no discussion whatsoever on him, and as such I never really had a chance to defend him as a pick.

Well, here is your chance to defend him. If he basically just the Dr. Strange of the wildstorm universe, then keep him. However, it may hurt you to use him in the future since he is an obscure character, and I haven't seen any scans of him. It's really hard when a character isn't as well known.

If he is basically just Dr. Strange/Dr. Fate/Loki/Baron Mordu of the wildstorm universe, then keep him. I only received one complaint about his link being ambiguous, so I'd rather just get clarification from you just to be clear. Links can sometimes be deceptive.

If there is nothing else, and everything is settled, I'd like everyone to simply confirm their choices, and I will start creating a schedule.

I just want everyone to know that I'm not trying to bend the rules. But I appreciate the consideration. I'll be making use of pretty much all of Habib's powers other than organic matter manip, time manip, BFR, and anything else that might be banned and that I didn't buy. But once those things are stripped from him he's not above the top heralds.
Of course, paired correctly there's fun things to be done with him, but that's part of the team-building process, not The Doctor alone.

There is no limit on the number of you posts you can make for a battle. However, the battle itself will only last up until the next battle is posted. There will be one battle per day Monday to Friday. No Battles on the weekends.

And you said that there's a 1,000 character limit on the opening post right?
Evangel94

Yes, including any links. The opening post is basically your write-up. It should clear, concise, and as understandable as possible. I don't want people basically just repeating what respect threads say in one long massive huge post that is pages long for their write-up.
After, both you and your opponent post have posted their write-ups, there is no post limit after on any subsequent posts. Refrain from any debating until both write-ups have been posted. If an opponent chooses not to create a write-up, then that is their choice (however it may hurt you).
I swear, if I have to read a "wall of text", I am going to get a headache. So, paragraphs PLEASE people. They are your friend. If posts become excessively long (ie pages and pages of links), then I reserve the right to put a limit on each post. Probably the same as the opening post. 800 to 1000 characters. However I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. Just don't give me a headache.

The Doctor has the knowledge of all the Doctors that came before him, so Jeroen's feats are valid.
And that's fairly short for a writeup, considering KMC's limit is 10K for a post. I'll have to just give a summary in my writeup, then include the details in my first post.

At most, you can buy

You would have to choose which. It would make sense of course to choose a lab that most suits your character.

ie Batcave, Fantastic Four's Lab, Fortress of Solitude, Sanctum Sanctorum and so on.

Define well stocked.
Hate to be anal about this but if we're going to prep with people like Batman and . . . others, we need to know what's conceivable.
Evangel94
Ok, I see where this is going....
Let me say that if your character, if they choose to buy the necessary prep, will get the lab or sanctum they are most familiar with.
For example,
If you have Iron Man you can choose Tony Stark's workshop.
If you have Reed Richards, you can choose the Fantastic Four's Lab.
If you have Batman, you can choose the Batcave.
If you have Dr. Strange, you can choose the Sanctum Sanctorium.
If you have two characters (or an amalgam) on a team, ie Batman and Dr. Strange, then you must decide whether you want to prep in the Batcave or Sanctum Sanctorium. You can choose only one for the entire duration of the prep, and you cannot switch once you have declared which. No switching.
Also, the same rules still apply.
Originally posted by Evangel94
#3 The scientific lab and the mystic sanctum for prep are well equipped, but they do not house endless resources, e.g., building a giant attack craft or a huge army of robots.
So no huge army of robot batmen, or huge army of Iron Man drones. The lab will be well equipped for your team, and nothing more.

I don't know if it's such a good idea for prep to be handled that way because of your point system. Think about it, Reed Richards is what a 2 point character? In a "generic" lab where he can't access his uber devices the point cost of a half an hour allows him to do quite a bit but is still proportional to the total pt cost paid for him. On the other hand, stick Reed Richards in the Baxter Building for a half hour and suddenly he gets a major power jump because of all the things that are already on hand that he doesn't have to spend time building...
Same thing goes for guys like Batman, Dr. Doom, etc.

Hmm...you have a point there.
What if I limited it to a "recreation" or "copy" of their lab or sanctum, minus any uber devices that are normally there. If they want their uber devices, they must build it from scratch within prep.

Well see I could go right along with it if we took out the pre-made devices, but Dr. Doom already HAS an army of Doombots at his disposal and without that clause there's nothing stopping him from bringing every freakin one of them to the battle ALONG with whatever new stuff he build during prep.

I think that would probably work best truth be told. That way there's no question as to whether or not it's possible for them to build something they've already built(because they obviously have the equipment) but it keeps them from having instant access 30 years of specialized prepped equipment that's already laying around their lab.
TricksterPriest
IMO, that's the price you pay for drafting prep guys. I have no problem with full prep abilities. That's what prep means.

But the point cost doesn't reflect that because the point cost was set for a "generic" lab. If we allow pre-made devices then the point cost for lab prep should go up significantly to balance out what you're getting for the cost.

I am limiting prep-zones to a "recreation" or "copy" of their lab or sanctum, minus any uber devices that are normally there. If they want their uber devices, they must build it from scratch within their prep-time.
Also, adding this rule to prep:
You get the prep-zone only one time up to 36 hours (if you choose to buy that level of prep) before the battle starts. Once you leave the prep zone, back to the battlefield, you cannot return to the prep-zone. No going back and forth between the battlefield and prep-zone over and over again.

Yes well you still have points to spare so I can see how you'd feel that way, but for everybody else it would mean revamping their whole damn strategy to adjust for the added cost. We'd have to all but start the drafting over and I'm pretty sure everyone would rather just move forward.
And the uber tech of Reed, Doom, and Metron wouldn't be an increase of a couple of points, that'd be like a 10 pt purchase...

The cap on technology is what your character can conceivably build, from scratch, depending on the level of prep you buy, and the intelligence of your character. It is up to you to convince the voters if you are capable of doing it within that period of time.
Evangel94
Well it looks like the schedule will be posted tomorrow instead of today, and matches will be pushed back on day. I believe one person still needs to draft. I am sure they will be able to figure out something by tomorrow.

For those that chose to draft a "Prep" guy and then chose to purchase prep time for said character, that character should be able to do whatever they can do and or create in the allotted time available to them... Lab/Sanctum whatever same difference.
Characters shouldn't be handicapped just because they are effective, efficient and advanced "Prep" guys.
Most of the "Prep" characters are brought into the status they are in their respective worlds MARVEL/DC because of it... Now your saying that they can only do BLAH... And no more. That's crap!
There is definitely a pecking order for "Prep" guys but all characters have prep time available to them, whether it's 15 min, 1hr, 36hrs whatever a character can accomplish in that time frame is whatever they can accomplish... Period. Some can do more, some can do less but, prep is out there for all to use if you choose.
