Evangel94's 2nd Slugfest Showdown Tournament Rules & Sign-Ups Thread!

Started by Laminator_X7 pages

I like it. Count me in.

A point for clarification. You gave the example of "Human torch without his Nova blast." Can characters who'd be acceptable except for one or two abilities be drafted with the stipulation that those abilities not be available?

I have another question.

About herald levels, what happens if you have someone who strength/speed/physical abilities wise is war machine level, But has a special ability that is stronger?

Mostly Yes, but you would need to say which characters when the draft begins.

Which special ability? It usually varies from character by character.

Characters like Reed Richards get drafted by their power level, not by how smart they are in my tournament.

Also if you check back on the first page:

You can replace the Herald level pick with another Enhanced meta level character in exchange for 36 hours prep in a Doom/Richards type lab or a SHIELD weapon armory. You will still have a seven-man team but without any Surfer/Superman level characters.

Which basically rewards you for not going with a brute force team, and going with strategy.

I might second Scoobless's assertion that there are some problems with voting via poll. The simple and easy nature of the poll vote also makes it very simple and easy to manipulate.

It's your call, of course.

My tournaments aren't voted by polls. I see the fundamental flaw behind them. Votes are counted by users leaving comments in the battle thread. They usually say who they vote for and leave a reason why.

OK, I have a question. I understand team friction, and if a character knows another we're taking that into consideration, but what if a character is 'friends' or the like with an opposing team member. For example, Deadpool has feelings for Siryn and would probably be hesitent about fighting her. Are we taking this into consideration?

They are fighting for what they hold most dear. Even though they are friends, they will ultimately end up fighting one another. And in the end someone has to lose one way or the other. This is a tournament. Some people win. Some people lose.

That's not your call to make. Either sign-up or stop hijacking the thread that was meant for people who were interested in signing up.

Answer my question first.

Understood - thanks.

I can answer basic questions regarding the tournament in this thread, but I don't want to draw the thread in different direction. Right now the focus should mostly be on those interested in signing-up.

If you requre a more detailed response, send me a pm.

Lets say I put moondragon in, could I agument her powers with the mind gem from her infinity watch days?

That's the kind of "Special Abilities" i'm talking about.

Infinity gems are not allowed. Their potential to for abuse is too high.

Although if you go with the prep-time option, your characters could get more acquainted with one another in Doom/Reed Richards type lab or a Shield Armory.

Perhaps they could formulate a plan and build/use a device located in either lab or armory to enhance their abilities. Perhaps build a device off of one characters knowledge.

And when does the draft start? There should maybe be an actual date and time, and an order of draft positions... And how do people get put into those draft positions? (I.E. So and So has the #1 pick So and So has the #2 pick...)

Thanks for the invite Eva... Let's get ready to RUMMMMMMMMBLE.
