All things considered you've been doing a great job DG. 👆

Brown noser.

Co-signed. 😎 It's not your fault there's a delay. You're doing a great job so far man. 👆

Why would I brown nose when I'm not a combatant?

I'm just giving credit where credit is due.

Besides, my nose is naturally brown anyway. I am a Brotha, after all.

Hey if this does keep up you do realize I'll just absorb everyone's power until it is over. 😛

And as for the Dragon well 😮

😈

Anyways anyone know who else was a judge for my match because Digi and Bada already voted so that leaves two more.

I felt ill after voting for you. 😘

Darth you happen to get my pm? 😕

Yeah I got it, I'm just still thinking on it(I hadn't considered it before).

Did you get my PS message about that thing I asked you to change in my write up?

Yeah it's taken care of.

Nice job Smurf. 👆 you realize of course, you are possibly helping me win with this location? 😈
srug I'm not rooting here. 'Sides, when I suggested it, it wasn't for your match. Goober's locations are random, not based on who's in it (I think).

Just out of curiosity, who's judging my match? And BigBran isn't a judge is he? 😕

If that PM regards a decision that will affect the tourney it should probably be discussed openly before deciding on whether or not to allow it .... (knowing BW it's probably something dodgy that only helps him 😉 )

It's not. It specifically concerns Blair's character so I can't give you any info.

Odds are good that Scoob is onto something. 😆

Ok thanks 🙂

I'd have to say I disagree.

I don't see recreating an artificial weapon as power copying.

If I have a laser blaster and you don't, but you have the ability to either download schematics and create a laser blaster from your own being/tech or form any weapon you can think of (like a techno-organic shape shifter), it would be legal (i.e. Warlock, Blue Beetle). Tony's suit isn't his power, it's an exo-suit with many weapons built into it that he uses. Tony has no powers.

If another character can reproduce the same results via their own means I don't see how it is illegal. They'd of course need proof to back it up, but re-creating a tractor beam, laser cannon, or a repulsor blast is a lot different than copying someone's telepathy, ability to turn into organic steel, or control over the electro-magnetic spectrum.

You mean once again the Mind category gets extra benefits over the other two. Heck Tony's suit isn't powers it only allows him to KO Heralds of Galactus. 😬

My God, not this again...

Look, Newjak, a weapon is not a power, that's all I'm saying, and I'm not mixing terms or anything. If you have the ability to fabricate a weapon, so long as it doesn't exceed the Ironman Cap, it's legal.

Blue Beetle and Warlock's (and to a degree, DH-II's) ability set is based on morphing body parts into weapons. If they learn how to create a new weapon and it's not beyond the caps I see no reason why it wouldn't be legal. If Warlock were to simply fabricate his arm into a repulsor cannon (which he's perfectly capable of doing even without downloading the specs), so long as he can provide proof it's possible and he doesn't exceed Ironman's output it's legal.

How you can't see the logic in that is beyond me.

Some people just made smarter picks.

Here we go again. You are the logic master right. There can be no logic but yours.

You were even arguing about it to the Director who you are all to happy to quote about power copying and other rulings he has made but oh no, not when it is against your logic right.

The fact is it may be tech but it is still power in that it grants people extra abilities. Ironman's, Armor, Spiral's magic, Karate Kid's fighting abilities.

I can guarantee that if someone found a way to Duplicate my swords everyone would be in an uproar over the ability to do so 😬

Pretty much.

Weapons aren't powers, and 3 characters in this tourney have the ability of weapon fabrication.

If common deduction fails you it's not my fault Newjak.

That is what I thought you would say 😬

Yes but if someone found out how to create my sword or Thunderstrike's mace no one would allow it. 😬

Why is it that Ironman and BP's mind in fact why is it the Mind Category in whole is allowed to do something none of the others are allowed to do. It is a double standard that was never addressed or made clear in this tourney. Like I said either everyone gets to do it or no one is allowed.

Because some people are capable of becoming smarter, while apparently some others aren't.

Ingenuity is part of the tourney.

Just because you didn't think of it doesn't make it illegal.

Drop it and see what happens.

If it raises a shit storm (and it will) we'll just have to deal with it then.

Agreed.
