ok....so what would be about the fastest person who could participate? (quicksilver or northstar would work?) strengh is about Thing level...(colossus would work too right?)...what about regenaration powers?
would cyclops, havok, Cyborg, or beast boy work? just trying to think of who would be acceptable and who would not be.....
now that I think about it I MAY want to participate, i got a few aces up my sleeve.....

We haven't agreed on a speed cap yet. I proposed mach 10, which would allow Quicksilver, but not Northstar, since he can definitely go faster. He cruises at mach 10, but is not limited to it. Since no one has really argued, I'll leave that to the participants in the tournament.
As to healing: Killability really wouldn't work, since people who regenerate take sustained damage and more focused attacks extremely well, but ususally wouldn't take larger blast-type things as easily...
Healing's probably going to be restricted to Wolverine level. Though that is again going to bring up questions of consistancy, where healing factors are almost notorious for being inconsistant. We're probably going to end up defining "Wolverine level" with the 16 contestants, and write off higher showings as PIS, for the sake of a smoother tournament, if nothing else.
Don't ask about individual characters now, because I don't really want to start saying yes or no to people until someone actually tries to draft them, after all the rules have been settled upon. I won't even try to pretend that know the upper limits for every character that's going to be proposed, so I'm going to let other people argue for or against potential characters during drafting, and I will still be requiring all picks to have an online bio. Preferably not wikipedia or something of that nature, though I may accept it for slightly more obscure characters... I definitely used it in the last tourney for both of my book people. And if you're going to try to fake a site, please don't insult my intelligence with it. It just makes you look like an idiot, and WILL destroy any respect you may have built up on this forum so far.
Hmm... I was thinking to just group all non comic people together and allow them all or allow none. Anime and manga are really hard to judge though. If most contestants want other mediums, but also want to ban anime characters, we could do that. I like adding as much variety as I can, but if everyone but grey fox really hates anime...

The idea of judging and playing in the tournament doesnt sound good to me. Im not accusing the ppl here of dishonesty but they are clever and judges could eliminate ppl thye find stronger and stuff.
People won't be judging guys that they'll fight in the next round, if I can help it. We have a lot of volunteers, so I don't really think it'll be a problem.
Not all of the rules have been set yet... I was hoping to let the contestants decide on some stuff beforehand.
So far, that I can think of, we need to settle on:
Non-comic characters (anime is probably getting shot down, but stuff like books, video games, etc)
Speed cap
Healing factor limits
Number of picks per person
And of course, any other suggestions contestants have for me and silverspider.
If you have a question about a certain type of power that hasn't been brought up, feel free to PM me.
