Is there anyway we can just restart this thing?
SEVERAL of the characters now picked were characters Roldz had pm'd DL about and were told were stricktly banned. Yet now they aren't??? 😕
Maybe there could be some more specific guide lines this time! 😉
Animal Man has been neutered to only be able to take on Earth Animal abilities.
Mar-Vell is limited to sub-light speed with no restrictions being place on his nega-bands.
Superboy is allowed as an on the fly cap change though to anyone that has reading comprehension of the comics he's actually above Namor and his telekinesis is above the cap.
Mandarin rips wholes in reality and has a one shot kill disintegration ring that no one complains about.
We volunteer to neuter our choice to be within the limits as the above choices have been, and have to hear all this.
No.
She's in, and at this point, I could really care less how people feel about it. The inconsistency and hypocrisy has been rampant in all of the above decisions that have been made for allowed characters. If there is no neutering, Animal Man, Mar-Vell, and Mandarin must come along also because they've dropped abilities to be allowed.
And don't even get me started on Super Skrull.
This bickering needs to cease.
Animal man had access to certain powers removed completely, in this case acess to duplication powers and extraterrestrial animal powers. Neutering is leaving an existing power in place, but reducing it to within the caps, which is what has been done with Mar-Vell and others.
So, yeah, correction about my previous statement. DL did say I was correct about the definition of Neutering I posted in another thread. Other than that, though, all questions and comments have been ignored, in public and private.
I don't care if it's annoying. We're doing a complete redraft. But I'll wait till sunday or monday before I restart it. And judging by the time, DL's time is up.
So, with some regret, and considerable annoyance, I'm resigning from the tournament and retaking my place as host.
Redraft starts sunday or monday, whichever is better. And unlike DL, I'm going to be alot stricter on the caps. I can wait till tuesday if absolutely needed, but sunday at the bare minimum. I'm also gonna look over the rules and see if I we missed any loopholes.

I can live with this as long as you stick with what you say. 😉
To be honest, this thing was doomed from the start. The caps aren't congruent.
We need a composite cap. A single character who's abilities can't be surpassed. Similar to the Thanos cap. We need a composite mid-tier cap. Like Martian Manhunter (who embodies a majority of the caps in one). Too many people have opinions on the standing of these different characters. Some demote, some exaggerate, and we'll never reach common ground.

This is a f**king joke.
You're restarting the draft? ... what about all the picks that were made already? would the teams involved get priority to them?
What exactly is wrong with capping off someone's flight speed to get them in if they aren't over any of the power or durability levels? what's wrong with cutting off powers completely?... it certainly doesn't leave the team in question with an advantage.
Starting the drafts over after we've passed the halfway point is ridiculous.
As far as I'm concerned, DL is in charge of this thing, you may have helped him with the idea but he's put in the actual work since it started ... if he wants to smooth a few things out and continue then I say we give him the chance to do it.
Now all of you go CALM THE F**K DOWN and give the guy some f**king breathing room.
*goddammit*
