General Tourney Discussion

im just assuming here but what I remember him sayins is that we as candidates would discuss if a person was allowed or not if there was some concern about power.....like my case, but Dizzle ima see if I can anyways....cuz I can make it permanent for him/her, and I dont they will mind.....(and SilverSpider looked at it and said that it should be fine.....)i really dont think that he/she would be a problem.....

the only thing I have an opinion on right now is the number of characters (I think four to five would be perfect.....)

Dizzle and Silverspider any way that you could pm the 16 of us (7 so far that I know of) when your gonna start with drafting?

I'll make sure everyone knows about drafts beforehand...

If SS disagrees with me about a character, feel free to run it by the other contestants during drafts. I stick with my opinion, however. If no one else really sees a problem, and SS gives him the ok, he'll be allowed.

5 characters per person is a lot... That'd be a total of 80 characters from a single power class. I was thinking 3-4 picks per person. (48-64... and that's STILL a very good number of guys)

how about 4? right in the middle? not five, not three, but four?

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.

lol but he would still come back from that....hes gotten through with worse

those lids are tough

wouldn't deadpool's immortality diqualify him?

We still need a limit though. I'm trying to cover every angle that I can, to keep it all fair. There's always loopholes to tournament rules, so I'm trying to eliminate them. Healing definitely won't be as big of a factor, especially since it's not amalgams, and because we have much more deadly offense this time around, but there's still a line that would put someone above the damage that even these guys can dish out. Hulk or Shaggy Man would be good examples, if they didn't beat the other caps into the ground too...

And immortals aren't necessarily banned, becuase they can be incapacitated. KOs, damage that would take an extended period of time to heal, and ring outs all count as wins.

Are we banning magic all together or only 'i can do anything by uttering a few words' kind of magic ?

thanks for the clarification

what about something like the symbiote which provides partial invulnerability to certain attacks, like bullets or claws?

or the power "invlunerability" in general i guess, though im sure thats easily covered under killability

so specific immunities, whats the word?

Iron Man would own a symbiote...but you're welcome to pick one.

no doubt, but my question was about the inclusion of people who are invulnerable to X

it was the best example i could think of...

probably moot anyways 😛

If something is "magic" but still abides by all of the rules (no matter manipulation, nothing bigger than Iron Man level blasting) it's allowed. Unpossible stuff like what Zatanna and Strange do regularly is not allowed.

like Black Knight's sword?

Immunities to stuff like radiation, sickness, poison, etc are all fine. Resistances to temperature and whatnot should be ok too. For any physical resistances, think Thing. If it's very specific, but goes a little beyond what Thing should do, we'll probably let it slide.

Ok i just had a possible character choice who has a energy blast type attack which is magical..... just wanted to make sure it was possible to use him 😄

Yeah, magic weapons are fine. Even magic-based blasts and such would be fine, but stuff like that usually comes with at least some degree of reality or matter manipulation, or stuff that is definitely banned, regardless of where it comes from.

Sweet....
