Wayyyy above LH bb

"Id"
To my best knowledge he is not drafting the one that floors Superman.

Beats can prob elaborate on that.

I told him I was uncertain, but if the judges are ok or if the members are ok, hes cleared.

Werewolf582
Depends which Arion.

IIRC most versions are mid Herald no?

desaad did a really nice respect thread here in kmc too. one of the few where all the links still seem to work. he'd need to be drafting a specific version of arion, no doubt. i know he had a lengthy period where he was in the meta tier, but he has a lot of really high feats too....

beatboks
Arion doesn't break any rules without outside help which tourney rules wouldn't allow.
He cannot city bust nor can his shields defend from city busting attacks. In fact they've been shattered and broken by attacks that "bust a city block".

He cannot time manip without an outside power source. When he time travelled in Superman he travelled to ancient Atlantis to get one of his fathers power crystals.

In another instance when he drew the light power from all the stars it was only after his father moved a star closer to amp him

Also the issues in which he fought Superman and the new gods want Arion I was Mordru in possession of Arion's body. Mordru is trans.

More than willing to stipulate to pre COIE feats only though honestly the only post COIE feats above high meta aren't really Arion's feats at all. Which was why when I drafted him in Curry's high meta tourney half those judging etc said he was ok.

His power level is so low that to defeat most of those he did he used every bit of power he had and left himself powerless.

I can provide scans of all this if needed.

Pre COIE Arion with "magic at his peak" was forced to try and save as many as he could. Unable to protect his city. Unable to destroy his enemy.

The second two scans show what many would be the only pre COIE feat that could in any way place him above High Meta. He was wielding the light from all the heavens. Yet in the page prior he is chained and imprisoned and powerless and only achieves this because his father used his power to move a star closer to him to start the amp. The reason Arion was so weakened was because to defend his city from a "city busting attack" from his brother took everything he had.

A low level demon who had done nothing more than destroy a building left Arion with the only option to defend himself becoming breifly intangible (limited by the rules)

Here is another "peak feat" but one done in the dark world which is his mothers dimesnion and by extension his by birth right. He doesn't operate on this level outside the Darkworld. Frankly nothing he did in the darkworld is above low herald.

Takes and generates blasts that are shown "building busting only"

Put down by a normal "blaster" type weapon.

Even after "absorbing the light of all the heavens" he is still weak after a battle and can only bind his brother.

The guy had to become a sword master and H2H master so he could defend himself when he had no power left. That's how "high tier" he was

Don't worry, the second draft I have in mind is designed to specifically address the weakness expoitation I just allowed everyone to see. Not amp, just close that gaping hole.

You have revealed too much.

Not about the tourney, about your personal viewing habits.


roll eyes (sarcastic)

Martian_mind
Sorry chaps, didn't know about the need for links, or that there even was a Marvel Nightshade.



This is who I'm drafting!

Edit:

****ing phone copied the link wrong. It's DC Nightshade.

Hahaha! Apparently I'm also drafting the Holy Grail.

Werewolf582
When do 2nd drafts start again?

Ambient
I think wedsday.

Scoobless
I'd prefer not starting a 2nd draft until everyone finishes the first round, no point giving advantages to people for dragging their heels.

Tourneys only work if people participate. Stretch the first draft another day or so - don't draft, don't compete

Why even delay the next draft? Close this one as soon as the second one starts. If they haven't drafted by then, they're out. It sucks, but with a tourney this big, we're gonna have to be a little ruthless.

Scoobless
Maybe, but check the message tracking on the PMs (Id) to see if they have been read yet.

i like this idea. thumb up

if you can't manage to get on over 2 days, for the 10 secs it takes to drop a draft pick, combined with all the time spent already in this discussion, then, well, i'm with mm. otherwise we could be waiting around forever. i'd rather have 5 people who for sure want to be in and are willing to get going. we should all know by this time that any type of delay can kill these things.

The Nuul
As a judge in this tourney, I agree with both MM and leo. thumb up

"Id"
Some are anxious, and some tension building up. I like it.

Its only been 24 hrs, I am only asking for one more day. We will keep the ball rolling.

Blair Wind
I've been DLing comics like a mad man all day - I honestly have zero picks that I'm satisfied with. I hadn't prepared like I should have.

Scoobless
Meh, we've got 8 now, just kick BW out.
