Talisman could have shrunk it or put it in his pouch for the time being. That's easy to deal with. Regardless its banned, so no big deal and we don't have BRB anymore.
I don’t really care if Wonder Women’s Gear puts her over the top, or not. The point is, its not standard equipment. And we have an only “Standard Equipment” ruling.
Wonder Women w/ Full Gear is the same character with out it. The key difference is that you are dressing up your comments, to loophole your way into gaining “Base Items“.
Not in the context of tourney drafting. If this was the same character, we wouldn't be having this dispute. There's clearly a difference between the two drafts (hence your bitching), and there stands to be no logical reason why we can't use the character in the context presented in this tourney.
The character we've drafted exists.
The character we've drafted has appearances.
The character we've drafted has feats.
The character we've drafted has a power set that can be accurately gauged and that has been ruled to be within the power limits set for this tourney.
Why can't we use her?
Oh yeah. Because there's a more standard version of the character.
Wut?
Anyways, Batdude has told me that she's allowed and that his decision is final. I'm sure you've got all sorts of inanity to post though, so have at it, and I'll see you in the match tomorrow.
Let me ignore Smurphs tantrum bullshit, and address what matter.
The character we've drafted exists. - But of course its Wonder Women. The character we've drafted has appearances. - Wonder Women is a vary poplar DC Character. The character we've drafted has feats. - She does have a dedicated respect thread. The character we've drafted has a power set that can be accurately gauged and that has been ruled to be within the power limits set for this tourney. Wonder Women is certainly well within, limits caps.
Why can't we use her? Wonder Women is not the problem. Its you passing her base equipment, as standard gear because in your own little mind you wish to believe it’s a different version of the same character.
But since you are in the mood of making questions.
Where is the equipment stored?
Where is this equipment located now?
Whey does she not equip her gear more often?

so... are you making the Diana ruling now or after this round?
Steve says: (5:37:27 PM)
It's ok.
joel says: (5:38:15 PM)
sweet. thanks._
Steve says: (5:42:11 PM)
I'm not backing down on this ruling either.
Steve = Batdude.
I'll just follow your lead and ignore the "tantrum bullshit", as you put it.
Her gear was all mentioned or shown explicitly in the Secret Files. She's donned the armor enough times to ensure it's not a plot device item, same with the gauntlets, sword, sandals, etc. It's essentially the same as the Iron Man analogy used earlier. She's not breaching the power cap, and pretty much everyone else is fine with this draft pick.
Personally, I have no problem with drafting WW with equipment... I just want to know that that same precedent will be applicable for all characters one might draft.
