ya, alright guys, as I'm sure comes as no surprise, I'm going to call this.
I did never really advertise outside of this forum, not that I don't think we might have gotten some more interest, just that a) I was hoping for more of a BZ crowd and b) the more mediums we involved, the less I was going to be able to run the show. If someone does want to try some huge cross-genre thing where we involve all the other forums, I will help as much as possible, I'm certainly in no position to be the head guy in something like that.
So, my appologies and thanks to everyone that showed some interest. If charllotte and jake/smurph want to have a match, I'm sure I can get our judges to rule on it, but otherwise... meh.
Thanks, my bad of course, and ya.... I think thats about it...
I would've genuinely considered entering if it was high meta. As it is, I'm psychotically busy until summer proper so it's good for me. I may try starting something late June or early July. Been a while since I hosted anything, I'd have a much easier time than before. That bracket-style Battlezone series I've talked about before seems a good candidate.
alright, and like the phoenix, this tournament rises from the ashes!!!
so, as of now, we have enough people to run a mini tourney, so no matter what, I will do this thing!!
I need some feedback on an issue I can't really crystalize in my mind though.
So, multiple man type powers I thought would be ok at meta level, but too much of an exploit at herald. However, summoning powers I really like and wouldn't want to ban outright...
though, I don't see what differentiates these things. Obviously more is generally involved in summoning (knowing the magic, something to sacrifice) but not always, and simply saying "nobody higher than the limits" could quickly turn into fights of 3 vs hundreds of equally powerful opponents.
So ya, feedback: is summoning different than just straight up "dupe"-ing? should one of the be banned and the other allowed? should both be banned because herald level leaves this open to easy exploits? keep in mind, I'm allowing stuff like time and prob manip, so there is a lot of room for exploit anyways, and this might be a balance so that everyone isn't just trying to find the most uber time manipulator or reality manipulator they can.
I'd like to keep them both in, but ya, my original thoughts are that they are an easy exploit, just looking for opinions
I would argue that allowing duplication is inherently more powerful. Summoning is naturally restricted to whatever characters have summoned in the past, via feats, and there's not too many ways to get around that. Duplicating, however, allows for the mass production of not only the character with the cloning feats but also whatever he's amped with- any technology or power amps granted to the character through prep would logically be cloned as well.
So I wouldn't say that they're equal in power, but it's not the biggest distinction.
