Ok. Do what you need to though, and if that includes having to leave KMC for a bit, we certainly understand.

But from my end, I'm glad you're back with us.

I'm glad too. I really wasn't looking forward to having to wait God only knows how long for the next tourney(which to my understanding is a street level, and that's not exactly my forte).

My sentiments exactly. After Spider-Man (and his clones, dopplegangers, impersonators, etc.), I'm kinda floating in a street tourney. And I wouldn't have even known where to begin in the "Iron Man" tourney they had (and there were 4 to a team for that....crazy stuff). I'd consider the street one, but herald is really my home turf for these things.

You know, I'm actually thinking of hosting a skyfather level Amalgam tourney on my site if I get the time.

😂

Skyfather?!

Damn. That's rather ambitious of you. This tourney has (arguably) the highest limits we've ever had. Although "herald" was a much looser term for Evangel's old amalgam tourney....Dr. Strange was allowed, as were the various Flash incarnations.

Anyway, I always assumed there wouldn't be enough options for a tourney at that level....but I guess it would really test a person's comic knowledge.

I'd probably be screwed. 😮

Well the thing is that the Amalgams wouldn't be made of Skyfather level characters. they'd be made of herald level character, but I'd remove most of the restrictions on moves, and eliminate the Mind/Body/Powers concept(so the Amalgams would just have to best attributes of all their components). The way I see it, a smart draft should easily be capable of making a Skyfather.

Yeah, hell most of our teams for this tourney could challenge a Skyfather, if not beat them. But I thought you meant people could draft Skyfathers. "For our first pick, we take Odin" ...that sort of thing.

The hearld stuff has been done back to back, I won't mind seeing a street-level tournament.

Agreed. I just won't be participating (these things are draining, so it's hard to do 2 in a row, and I'll be back in school).

Oh HELL no! That kind of thing would be impossible to control. And besides, whoever got Odin would win(unless someone was able to get really creative with a Darkseid combo).

I actually like the iron man level tourny best. Street level is more physical karate chop stuff. With the ironman level you dont get too powerful, and a LOT more diversity.

Odin, Zeus, Surtur?, Ymir, Thanos, Darkseid, Doc Strange (still not a bad pick for that level), Elders (Runner?), Mangog, Desak ...hell, I can't think of too many more (and half of those are Thor-related....outside of Asgard, my knowledge dwindles at this power level).

Well obviously, since you won.

😛

Nah, each person just knows various levels better.

Yeah I wouldn't have time either due to I'm back in school. Oh well, I always get asks for help from various people/teams for advice in each tourny 😎

I PMd you once, and I'm sure you've had other requests....probably a compliment that they want your help. And I've had quite a few "correspondants" for this tourney though.

actually I know herald level best. In ALL true honesty.....I had never read a comic with ANY of my characters....

😐

Nowadays I would never pull that trick again. I have already gotten all the comics I really need for the team I expect to pick 😈

You mean twice 😄, but no I wasn't factoring in you. I actually forgot you asked. 😎

You dirty cheat, I'm not the only one? I feel so used 🙁

Blair I got a question for you. Why are you looking forward to going up against bigbran and I? I know that we're fairly regular posters, but we're not exactly big names around here.

During Evangel's tourney (before 80 scans in each thread, because no one had scanners, no one had respect threads, and no one knew what a "torrent" was) I had barely read of my characters either. Hell, I didn't even know General Zod existed (outside the movie).

It was basically me with a bunch of Apollo feats (no one knew he was a B-level Supes clone either....good times) and a load of BS about Loki.

I credit my marvelous debating skill for taking me far in that tourney, because there's no way I should've won anything with those 3.

Case in point: Wally, Thor, and Quasar only barely beat Apollo, Zod, and Loki.

🤨

You seem like the biggest challenge besides Digi/Scoobs (and maybe even moreso who knows). And thats all it really is about. 🙂

Damn, I was actually hoping to be underestimated as a n00b going into this thing. Ah well....
