Pretty much. As long as it doesn't turn into a 'let's beat down TP day', then it's cool. nosweat
It was on time, and there was some bickering...
Then, he got kicked out, so the tourney coud be better, and now... where did the tourney go? Me no know!
Now, that is just weird, isn't it?

Relax Bran, the guys at least admitted he was in the wrong.
It's enough. Forget it.
It must have been pretty hard for him to admit he made errors.

Guys like Mandarin,Super Skrull, and Mar-Vell should have never been allowed in the first place. Why you ask?Mandarin= Over the versatility cap, just like anyone with the ability to alter matter to the degree Mandarin is able.
Super Skrull= To damn powerful. The guy routinely takes on people like Surfer and Thor, and Annihilation has given us every indication that he could pretty much kick Iron Man's ass.
Mar-Vell= No. Just no. Mar-Vell had the damn Nega Bands and even though he himself never did much with them, when Genis came along we learned that they are WAY above the tourney cap. Would you really let Drax into a herald level tournament with the Power Gem just because he couldn't use it worth a flip? No, because that would be stupid. Drax could conceivably give the gem to someone on his team who actually knew what they where doing, and then everyone else would be screwed. The cap shouldn't just apply to the character, but their equipment also.
gibberish goob.
mar-vell's feats and his alone would have been admissable in this. who cares about genis? i couldn't use anything genis did. i selected the guy who had trouble with nitro. and the ONLY reason i wanted him was cosmic awareness. our team was still considering CHANGING him in the confirmation thread!
and i've almost every book that mandarin has appeared in. i doubt very highly any person on this forum knows the character better than i do. mandarin was fine. the rings WERE versatile, but the limited SCOPE of their power has been demonstrated many times, in many issues.
the horse is dead. you're giving a post-mordem on why the thing failed when it is self-evident why it failed. as for our picks, you are dead wrong on both counts, my friend.
ps--not sure why i bothered to reply -- guess i don't like piling on after the fact. regardless, i'm done with discussing the tournament. if you really want to debate the merits of my team's picks i will gladly entertain you via pm's.
pps--tp/dl: your hearts were in the right place. and i don't think it was the speed of it that mattered. everyone was on board and ready to go. it was some bad decision making, pure and simple, and giving in to some pretty significant pressure. no one person should be responsible for deciding who gets in and who doesn't. it should be a commitee decision, or the decision of the participants. that's it.

True Leo on all points. 👆
The only thing I don't understand is why you bothered replying, the guy was so far off the mark.

That's why I feel that the tourney was rushed and suffered for it. Given more time it's possible you and I would've agreed with the level of the characters involved and my views would've changed.

I declare the GLA Alpha the tourney winners because we didn't draft any BS over the limit characters and we didn't walk away from this (apart from Digi ... the quitter)
GLC Crappa gets awarded 2nd place just for being entertaining

Mongooses didn't try any of that either and have never backed out 😉

And before you ask, yes, the Illuminati do have an extremley valid excuse.
