Thanks for posting that here Blair.

2 more questions:

1. CIS is a valid argument, right? Not just inidividually, but how they'd work as teams.

2. Do we have a "confirmation" thread after this draft before battles start?

Because at this point one of the big things we need to do is make sure everyone knows that each partner has to have one character that only they can debate for, and the 3rd is a "both" character....only DC/BW and Me/Scoob have been doing that so far.

Me and DL have that sorted already.

DL: Quasar
Me: X-Man
Both: Mangog

Well unless I'm mistaken, I'll have Despero, bb will have Surfer, and we'll both have EX AM.

Cool. I edited Blair's post at the top of this page to include both of your teams, so that's the most up-to-date list we have.

I have a question, is the "Under Thanos" cap just for the characters when they are drafted, or does it apply DURING the match also(meaning that the characters can NEVER exceed Thanos in power)? I'm only asking because there's a chance that some of the characters might exceed the cap due to the other teams actions. For instance, Supes absorbs solar energy right? So if someone is shooting enough of it around(this is just the best example I could come up with, I'm sure no one will be dumb enough to do that in a match with Supes present), he could end up sun dipped enough to exceed the cap. By the same token many of the characters that have been selected so far could easily exceed the cap with power meshing during the 20 minutes worth of prep.

I think power meshing's legal (or should be), regardless of the limits...only because it takes a lot of the inherent strategy out of the drafts if it's not allowed.

But that's me. I'm obviously not BD, or even a judge.

I agree with Digi I don't think there should be a limit on power meshing.

Meh, you interested for any particular reason goober?

😖hifty:

😛

And again, I dunno...but I would say that I hope it's just for the drafts. Not because I have some uber Galactus-level power mesh, but because it seems fair to me that way.

I know that power meshing is legal(and don't get me wrong, I have no problem with it), but the rules say that it's only cool to power them up within reason. So I'm wondering what the limit is. Is Thanos the limit to powering up, or is he just the limit for the character individually during drafting?

Power meshing should not put the characters at skyfather level status or anything like that.

Other than that, however.... it's fine.

Let's see, he's got Surfer and EX Absorbing Man....

😐

I just thought of five really good ways to mesh these two in the past ten seconds. 😖hifty:

Good point. 😐

It's ok though. I'd actually be excited to face those two....it'd be a helluva match.

Besides, I got this weird scenario in my mind where someone on one of the other teams ends up powering up AM somehow until he shoots past the cap, and gets disqualified or something like that.

😂

*hands Mjolnir to AM*

Disqualified!

Well, for what it's worth, Thor has experience with AM. We won't be hurling Mjolnir directly at you in our (hypothetical) battle....that would screw us over in a hurry. But I see your point.

Thor: Oh AM would you hold my hammer for a sec....haha now your gone form the match.

AM: You do know I get to keep the hammer right so now your just a second round draft pick Thor.

Thor: Damn

Of course I am. AM has the POTENTIAL to exceed the cap, but as I've said before I want to win this thing fair, so I want to know how much is to much. Besides, I got this weird scenario in my mind where someone on one of the other teams ends up powering up AM somehow until he shoots past the cap, and gets disqualified or something like that.

Think about this one, All Star Supes is right under the cap too, so someone like Surfer or Quasar could probably send him over with a single blast of solar energy.
