Darthgoober's Amalgam Tourney discussion thread

I'd agree with Digi about just sharing the names.

I also move that smilies be banned from tourney posts ... they just seem extremely obnoxious most of the time (even when I post them)

Names should work.

Just asking, but....is Blair's prep strategy legal? Or even feasible with Spot's powers?

Which part? taking stuff from his armoury?

Yeah. Also, we only get the names of the opponent's amalgam components, or the name of the amalgam?

yep. Got it approved by Darth, and one of the judges agreed with it.

And....yea 😕

I meant the name of the Amalgam, not sure if that's what the others meant.

name of the component parts is what I said ok too 😬

Not everyone has an amalgam name. Component parts might make more sense.

yeah, that's what i had assumed as well. and because we had the names, we would have the general knowledge that i was referring to earlier. and i guess that level of knowledge is acceptable . . . .? 😕

Mad props on the strat, you sneaky bastich. 😛 👆

I'm for component parts, otherwise we're basically going in blind.

Going in blind is half the fun ... everyone starts with the same level of knowledge.

😬

i don't really CARE which it is. there was nothing SPECIFIED though, regarding going in blind, so i had ASSUMED (as per kmc rules and the rules of other tournaments) 'general knowledge'. 😬

As far as knowledge of your opponents argument, I agree that basic general knowledge of each component, as well as whatever personal knowlegde the mind character has shown on panel should suffice.

I also agreed with Leo's contention about Entity's radiation argument. With his mind character being T'Challa he wouldn't have any in depth knowledge of Indigo/Brainiac and the radiation type was not ever specified on panel so for Entity to insinuate that radiation from vibranium, in the trace amounts that it was available via his claws, was folly in itself, let alone the assumption that T'Challa would actually know that as it's not general knowledge. I say each character should get 'public' knowledge maximum (so drafting someone like Supes would be a hindrance, for instance, since his weaknesses are public knowledge) plus any knowledge the mind character may have personally or have access to via tech.

Also, by allowing knowledge of the components does that also mean the configuration of the components? If I was given a paper that said simply

Colossus (basic info)
Cannonball (basic info)
Black Knight (basic info)

Would I know in which configuration these characters were merged or have to simply plan for all possibilities?

Ok, we get the names, no point in telling them how the character is going ot be used though, minimum basic prep for each character should cover that anyway.

And why hasn't Newjak posted in his battle yet?

he's at work..

and Im putting the finishing touches on mine 🙂

Huh ... he's been logged on everytime I've looked at the site today.

I suppose he could've left KMC logged on on his pc when he left for work.

And I just posted it I guess the battle is finally on. Now I have to go type my response 😛

Kick ass music NJ.

I just realized how similar Dane looks like Ash from those movies (damnable brain farts)
