Darthgoober's Amalgam Tourney discussion thread

Started by DigiMark007172 pages

There has to be some random amalgam you could make out there that would, through a cosmically insane power mesh, be able to channel the power of Shazam or somesuch, then combine with shape-shifting talent to be Black Adam.

I'll find it. Someday.

"Who'd you win the IM tourney with Digi?"
"Black Adam."
"...?"
" 😎 "

👆 I'd love see that one. I had a genius amalgam set up to dominate everyone, but Goober's setup stopped me from being able to do it. But....next standard Amalgam tournament.....your ass is grass. 😈

Someone could always just draft Teth, Dr. Donald Blake, and Billy 😖hifty:

hehehe

5.Sebastian Shaw
6.Sasquach
7.Cannonball
8.Bastion
9.Emma Frost
10.SpeedBall
11.?????(awaiting pick)
12.Booster Gold

And now some things that need to be addressed...

Northstar and the new speed cap- I'm sure everyone is aware of my feelings concerning power neutering at this point. However speed seems to be a special case, so I've decided to allow neutering in this ONE category. The speed cap is going to be set at Mach 10 for EVERYONE. Being able to exceed this speed won't be grounds for the character in question to be barred, but this speed can't be exceeded once the match starts(though teleportation is still allowed). So with this in mind, it IS the upgraded version of Northstar that's being drafted.

Warlock- From what I understand, Warlock IS tough as Hell to take out of the fight, but it's not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. I was sent quite a few instances of his being taken out(and absolutely NO evidence that he exceeds the "killability" cap), so for right now I'm still going to allow him. If anyone wants to send me some stuff to contradict what I've already seen on his behalf though, you're more than welcome to(you might even change my mind). Now if I discover after the tourney starts that all I was sent was his low showings and he's actually up there with Sandman(and the instances I was sent where all PIS), he(and the amalgam he's part of) will be banned.

Invincible- I've still yet to see a SINGLE feat of Invincible's of any kind, let alone one that puts him over the cap. So unless some kind of evidence is forthcoming....

All that aside, I've decided to end the draft sometime this weekend(to make things easier for those who're in school) barring some extenuating circumstances. But let me remind everyone that we have a late comer(longpig) who's having a difficult time finding people that fit into this power classification and several others who's picks are continually being contested without proof, so it's possible that it might not end until Monday or Tuesday(though I'm trying to avoid dragging it out that long)/

Awesome! Sounds great Darth I think you've done a hell of a job considering all the angles you must have been pulled form. Great job man. 😉

Lets get this show on the road! 😎

Long Pig is a cheating little bastich ... he must know hundreds of characters within the caps ... what he's having trouble with is sneaking 3 characters in that he knows are above the caps.

True story.

Racist. 😐

Question. Are you laughing cause it's a bad pick, or for some other reason? 😕

Hey because of the format I've set up for this thing, Mr. Terrific is a solid choice if he's used properly.

I'm laughing because he's a street leveller.

Meh, I guess.

I know he's not so great on his own. and in a regular amalgam, nobody would pick him. He is however, the third smartest guy on DC earth.

NiñoAraña is working on it. I'm just waiting on him at this point, but he's got quite a bit going on right now so it might take a while.

Then why not just pick Batman?

Batman's not invisible to tech? shrug Plus, Batman's gear is hard to figure out. What the hell does he carry in that damn belt normally?

It varies... a lot.

It's basically a plot device in belt form. 😛
