It will be.
But before I was running it I had a few combos that were extremely badass, so without me it won't be as cool...hehe. I even had a freakin' picture of him on Photoshop (my picks were so obscure I was that confident I'd get them)...I'll have to unveil it at some point just for the hell of it.

Kinda like if someone sees another guy, they pick someone with the other guy's direct weakness with intent of taking him out.

Yeah, but what this does is not let everyone know other peoples' teams. You'll know who is chosen, but not who is paired with who, so it will be harder to form strategies for certain amalgams.
Also, last tournament some picks were direct responses to someone else's earlier pick(s). This way it should cut down on creating teams specifically designed to take another team out, and create a bigger need for just making solid, well-rounded an/or powerful amalgams.
It'll take longer and be a bit more complicated, but we'll try it. If I hate it after Round 1 we may switch, but I'd like to see how it turns out.

KVD: I pick Wolverine

KVD: I pick Taskmaster
Digi: He's taken, pick another
KVD:... I withdraw 😮 But that's just me
Point taken. Hopefully it will go more like this...
3 people: I pick Spiderman/Deathstroke/Wolverine
*Digi posts it in the thread. KVD looks at the thread and sees that.*
KVD: Ok, then I pick Taskmaster.
Digi: Cool.
I'll try to keep up with it as much as possible so it runs smoothly. But like I said, if it works more like your scenario and it's frustrating, I'll switch it for Round 2/3.

P.S. Iceman is not ok. Current Iceman is way too powerful, and any incarnation can be said to be beyond the limits. And sign-ups will be next Sunday...I suppose I should set a time. We'll go with 12 Noon, Eastern Standard Time (U.S.). Scoobless is assured a spot, but the first 15 to sign up will be in. Others can sign up afterwards as alternates (that's how I got in the last tourney).

i wanna do it!!! but i wont be back for a while . . 🙁
i want amalgam/no flight/i like the idea of having 3 minds in one body it makes the tourney alot more interesting in my opinion. a lot more to consider. and i think its too easy to let someone have the mind of deathstroke with the experience of batman and daredevil. dd and ds would probably disagree in the way that they fight so only the part of the amalgam that is familiar with precog would do certain things while the part of the amalgam that knows how to use hightened sences and radar would do certain things.
Plus the moral differences would be a problem for some. The mind of Superman (just an example) would not work at all with the mind of Dr. Doom. Doom's evil, Superman is pretty insufferably good. Digi also brought up Thor and Loki. It forces people to not only find powers that work together, but mindsets as well.
I think we should have one mind in charge, but with the experience/memories necessary to put their powers and abilities to full use. Unlike with Evangel's tournament, having our amalgams have complete control over all the abilities given them doesn't mean they become incredibly godlike and borderline unstoppable, it just allows them to be more effective fighters with these new skills.
Hmm...no, I did away with the schizo mind-stuff, even though it would make picking a bit more difficult. One mind, all experiences of the three. You still have to choose a 'body' like the last tourney, but the mind is taken care of.
And telekinesis? Seems suspect considering everything else we're banning (phasing, invisibility, flight, etc.). So good question LP, but no TK (unless there's a ton of support for it, but I doubt that).
And just to post it again...sign-up thread will be up at 12 Noon Eastern Standard Time next Sunday.
yea, we can't have signups going for hours, but what if I'm in NewYork and I can't find a comp. (hmm... newyork, no computers... funny, its like a cold hell... lol)? could I pm you a litle early, Digi? I'd like to compete, but I can't always be online when I want.
So... I'm kinda confuzled... you choose three guys to fight, each amalgamatons? I'm sorry, I'm kinda disoriented and not really able to put together the bits and pieces of ules that have been astablished. I know the banned abilities, but that all.

1) When did we agree on no invisibility? I think limited invisibility would be fine, considering most street levelers have ways of helping them notice limited invisibility.
2) I think the sign-up thread should be on a weekday night, because some of us aren't home on weekends.
so can we have say the body of hawkeye with the fighting experience of batman?
we all know that hawkeyes body isnt trained teh same way bats is. and at a moments notice will never be able to do batmans feats.
so if hawkeyes body had a special adaption that i liked but wanted batmans skills to go with it, could i do that?
