ok, so the rules are simple:
1. it's an OPEN event. open meaning ANYONE CAN ENTER WITH ANY CHARACTER MID-META AND LOWER.
2. 2 PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE THE SAME CHARACTER!! there will be no draft. if you want to enter, enter with whoever you like. you just need to write up a single post, whatever length you like, and make sure he/she is mid meta at most.
3. your character will be dropped into ANTARCTICA. an unbreakable, mxy/beyonder proof dome will surround the continent. it will extend up to 25km upwards and down 1 km into the ice. along with the other participants, there will be a host of powerful villains on the continent intent on killing everyone. villains include:
doom, the destroyer, henshaw, eclipso, onslaught, doomsday, validus, sinestro, fernus, black adam, despero, loki, magneto, bizarro, the challenger, apocalypse, shaggy man, mongul, zod and ares.
your job is to wipe out not only the other heroes on the island but you need to make sure you can wipe out all the villains as well....
4. tech and prep are limited to what your character can REASONABLY obtain. an example of UNREASONABLE using an illegal character--say i chose a gl then sent a ring back in time to a place i once, 30 years ago, saw the miracle machine, and told the ring to retrieve it. NOT reasonable. your character must have REASONABLE access to whatever tech they employ. if you choose batman is it reasonable to think he could raid the jla armory? maybe....depends on what he tries to get. you must account for the HOW you get the tech, AND justify having it. so choose your characters carefully....
4(a). your character has 3 DAYS. time travel does not extend your time, and super speed is NULLIFIED for those 3 days. everyone gets the exact same amount of time but can do anything they can reasonably prove in that time.
5. because this is open to all, i'm not going to ask any judges to take part (unless someone or some people volunteer...). what i would like to have happen is this: if you take part, YOU will be a judge. we're all going to read each others' posts anyway, so when all posts are in (deadline will be sunday sept 2) everyone who took part will be asked to render a vote but are not allowed to vote for themselves. you must choose who you think did the best job (ASIDE FROM YOURSELF) at killing everyone.
6. i will open the tourney thread next sunday in the AM EST. you will have approx 12 hrs or so to post your plan. once done, just openly post. if anyone waits til the last day to try and read the posts to counter post, wellllll....good for them, they can have the win.
any other questions, post here. again, ANYONE can enter, with ANY CHARACTER so long as they are mid meta or below. i'm not big on cross genre, but if you want an anime or....whatever the fuq you kids call other non-comic characters these days, feel free. just know you will likely need even MORE than normal support to prove your case since most won't know what you're referencing. if you DO try and get sly, we, as a judging body, will decide if your character IS within the bounds of the tourney. if he/she is ruled against, your post will simply be discarded.
seems like a lot but as with all my tourneys--don't be sly, be creative and stay within the SPIRIT of the tourney and you will be just fine.
do not announce your character (unless you want to i guess..) but def drop in and say whether you are gonna take part. then i'll take the number of everyone who SAYS they'll take part, divide it by...3 or 4 and have a good idea how many ACTUAL posts we'll see next sunday! i'll def be in, so hopefully at least one other joins me!
DISCUSS!
