Evange's Amalgam Tournament Announcement: Roster and Scheduling

It also will keep people from stealing others ideas.

And if you're running the tourny, you shouldn't be able to participate in it.
There is a chance you'll be asked if so-and-so is allowed and if you see that person as too big of a threat to your character, you won't allow that certain character.

Basically, pm your choices to the tourney runner, ask if he/she is allowed.

i agree

i threw out the Iron Man type character idea .... but i meant that you could either decide to pick three lesser powered characters or one from his weight class.... so you wouldn't really be using an amalgam in that case

Eh, I don't like that idea at all. 😛

Street level under 20 tons strength and not allowed certain powerful blasts sounds good to me anyways.

Not a bad idea with PM'ing picks, but it might be hard to find a tourney director who is interested enough to do a good job but doesn't want to be in the tourney. And perhaps after every round of drafting everyone's picks could be announed, and they would be set in stone. This way, you might be able to adjust slightly based upon other people's picks in earlier rounds, but by the time we put together our full team (I'm assuming 3 here), it'll be too late for others to realize what we're doing and adjust their own picks. So some strategy would be involved, but it would prevent last second switches and positioning for advantages...and if a certain character choice brings together your 'strategy' you can save him for last and hope he/she is still around, so others won't be able to counter you by making a last-second switch.

Just some thoughts...

if that's the way it plays out then i agree that the picks should be announced after each round (so that you can cross of people as possibilities)..... but also it should NOT be revealed who has chosen whom

that way no-one will know what capabilities each others character will have and no-one will be able to adjust their choices accordingly..... i also strongly disagree with switching choices at later stages..... it could be that you pick a character that someone else has their heart set on.... so you've messed up their plan... than you ditch that character later... AFTER they have changed their plan?... that isn't fair on people

once a character is chosen that should be that.... you pick someone... you're stuck with them.... so choose wisely

p.s...... if the tourny runner isn't participating (which is the only fair way to do it if it goes the way we're talking about) then count me out .... i want to play...... and to kill all of your lesser creations

😈

Yeah, that's the problem...I'd be willing to run it, and so would plenty of other I think, but I would want to be in it.

But the draft system we've tentatively outlined here sounds rather fair. But I guess we'll work this all out after Kinky's done winning this tourney...hehe.

It does sound fair but i want to be in the tourny and see if i can hang with the big boys.

First thing first though, we need to figure out just what exactly is "powerful street level".

Strength level=
Speed level=
Flight speed(if flight is allowed at all)=
Durability=
Mental attacks=
Blast attack level=

Here are my opinions on their power levels and what they should be:

Strength level= Class 50(Max)
Speed level= Subsonic
Flight speed(if flight is allowed at all)= Flying is bullsh!t
Durability= Diamond like maybe? Cage's durability at max?
Mental attacks= telepathy is bullsh!t
Blast attack level= Hmmm... Don't know about this one. I'd love to have some sort of energy attack. Cyclops, Havok, Banshee, Maybe...

This is just an opinion... I'd like to see what other people think.

I agree with everything except 50ton, that's far too high, I'd prefer 10ton, 20 at most.

How about intangibility, illusions, invisibility that type of stuff?

For this tournament is evangel gonna use the same ppl or can new ppl join? Powerful street sounds awsome.

Strength level= 25 tons (superhuman 4)
Speed level= Subsonic
Flight speed(if flight is allowed at all)= Around Nanmor (a lil faster)
Durability= Regenerative maybe Bullet Proof
Mental attacks= SpiderWoman
Blast attack level= Havok (i think he is a bit more powerful than cyclops)

I dont see why invisibility shouldnt be allowed. I would vote yes intagibility. As for illusions my limit for mental powers is spiderwoman so i dont think she can cast illusions unless she concentrates.

IF the limit was 50 tons you could have rogue there which i doubt she is a street level same goes for beast etc.

I'd agree that mental attacks shouldn't be allowed, and most magic should be banned too. I can't think of anyone who can cast illusions, go invisible, etc. that's not too powerful for this tourney, but if they are out there I'd say no. And yes, lic, we'll be using new people. Evangel probably won't be running it, and new people will be welcome to join. I think we want to do 16, so while there'll be some same ones from this tourney, there'll be plenty of new people too.

-DM

i don't have a problem with flying characters..... why do you all want them banned?

oh man!!! i already know what i'd want!!!

Whats wrong with invisibilty? Its not that cheap besides some characters have extra senses and are beyond sight. Psionics shouldnt be totally banned but very ristricted like pre-cog and weak psi bolts. Intangibilty could be kinda hard to work around for example I think of shadowcat and now her natural state is intangibile and she focuses to remain solid it would be pretty hard to hurt her. Also i thought over the blast attack level and havok is wrong. His superhot plasma would definatly kill 90% of the powerful street levels. An attack that CAN be lethal but isnt always should be the limit like and optic blast, fireball, kinetic blast, etc.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about Havoc. Though it honestly wouldn't bother me if he got picked (I'm that cocky...hehe) it probably isn't fair.

I have no problem with Psylocke, but regular telepathy seems like it should be a no-no. Invisibility? Who can do that besides Sue? And the whole "create bubbles in your blood stream and make them explode" technique or the "Galactus-blocking shields" kinda excludes her anyway.

-DM

unless you want classic I-Woman before she "learned" how to do the shield thing....... maybe that could be allowed

IW should be allowed, just no instant kills for anyone.

If there is a no instant kill rule, then more people are allowed.
