See, that's the thing. The "no freaking loopholes" rule will let me just neuter characters who 'slip by'. So it's in everyone's best interests to be within the rules, or you may find yourself in a battle and suddenly unable to use powers that you thought you could sneak in. Trying to cheat me and the rest of the Corps will only hurt participants in the end.
In the meantime, though, you're welcome to try. 😛

Speaking of Blairwind...I think elementals like ICEMAN should be banned. Sooner or later someone will say:
"Even if Iceman does get destroyed, he's EVERYWHERE. He'll just reappear in the water made of Mars icecap!"

Re: Team Tournament Information and Discussion Thread

This is information for anyone who’s interested. This isn’t a sign-up thread or a draft thread, so any attempts to do either will be ignored.KMC Team Tourney (Hosted by the KMC Green Lantern Corps)
Format – We’ll have 8 teams of 2 people. You will need a partner to participate
Drafting – Each team will then draft 3 characters from comics (same rules as vs. forum…they have to primarily comic characters). Each member of the team will only be allowed to debate for one character. The 3rd character, either one can debate for. Example, if DigiMark and leonidas draft Spider-Man, Hercules, and Doop, they’d have to decide which goes to which (like only allowing Digi to debate for Spidey and Leo for Herc). Either could debate for Doop. Thus, to have the full team contributing, both team members have to debate well. Anything that you say that debates for the person you’re not allowed to debate for will be edited out by me. You MUST post a valid link to your character when you draft them (i.e. not wikipedia).
Other stuff – Brackets will be determined randomly. Matches will be about a week long
Judging format – 2 or 4 judges from the Corps will count as 1 vote each, and then the popular vote (poll) will act as a tie-break. Judges will not be allowed to vote in the poll. In the event that a Corps member is in the tourney, guest judges will be brought in. Observers will be asked to simply vote in the poll and no spam the battle threads except to ask questions pertaining to the fight.
Battles – Each participant will be limited to 9 posts in the battle. That is all. If needed, we may go up or down from there. This is to ensure that battles will not go on forever. Any posts beyond the 9-post limit (if they pertain to the battle) will be deleted. A post of "Thanks to everyone who voted." or "Good luck to my opponents" and similar things will not be considered in the 9-post limit.
Character limits – This will be a “herald” level tourney. No amalgams though.
Speed – Flash is banned. As is anyone with Flash-like reflexes feats (Mr. Majestic, Surfer, etc.).
Power – Generally, “under Thanos” is the rule. We’ll define it more as needed. People that duplicate and copy powers aren’t allowed either.
Magic – Dr. Strange is banned. So is Zatanna, The Doctor, etc. Too much reality manipulation, and too many crazy loopholes (stopping time, entering the Astral Plane, turning people into sandwiches, etc.). Sub-Thanos magic users are fine though.
If a character can’t breathe in space or something, battle locations will be created to accommodate them. Thus, we won’t make Hulk battle on Jupiter or something.
Everyone loves to find loopholes, so we have a “no freaking loopholes” rule in effect at all times. We can change the limits or ban people as we see fit to ensure fair battles, and will deal with every character on an individual basis. Please help me and the Corps out when determining who should and shouldn’t be acceptable….we don’t know everything.
Team sign-ups will go up this Sunday, circa 2PM (Eastern US Time). First come, first served for the bracket positions. If you don’t have a partner, you can’t reserve a spot while searching for one. Post the duo that you know you have.
Since wiki bios aren't allowed, this thread will be helpful: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=346638&highlight=character+info+website
...it's also been pinned at the top of the forum for easy access.
So, do we need to list the characters we are drafting when we sign our team up this Sunday, or will drafting occur at a latter date?
