Illadelph's Team Tournament Discussion Thread

An amalgam would be slightly more interesting.

Especially if you didn't have the OPTION of picking one of your foes characters, but you actually were REQUIRED to switch at least one character each match.

Much more interesting outcome, methinks...

Here's a sample of one of Caerula's feats, BTW what's considered too fast for this tournament? I know she definitely isn't too strong, so speed is probably the main issue.

How long would these debates go on for ?

Could all three team guys debate , or will there be one representative ?

Interesting...

What does everyone think of the suggestion?

Also, if we're going to make it amalgams, I think I'd open it up to 6 characters (2 characters per round of the draft), and that the amalgamations could be any combination of 2 or 3 characters on the team, but you would have to field at least three characters in the battle.

How does that sound? Too complex?

Battles will last from Monday at 7am to Friday at Midnight. All team members can debate (if the team consists of 2-3 posters), however, pick your teammates wisely. You'll be judged on your debating skills, not simply making a powerful character.

Any opinions on whether she makes it? From what i understand of her, I think she should qualify. Her vampire's eye, is about equivalent to spider sense, and her actual physical strength and durability is either equal to or lower than Spidey's. Basically she's what spidey would be if he had the mind of martial arts master like Shiva.

Amalgam eh. I'm down. Any caps on tech?

So how many characters (completed amalgams) would you actually be using for each match?

I definitely like the idea. I already have two characters picked out. both of which I think could qualify. Now I just need to find the other four.

I'd like to participate.

I was thinking about that (tech). An idea I had was that each character would get there standard equipment, as well as another tactical element:

One character from the team would host the prep time at their canon base of operations for each battle, but you can't use the same prep area for consecutive rounds.

So, for example, if you drafted Batman and chose him to host your prep in round one, your team would have access to the Batcave and all tech and weaponry that are unique to the Batcave for that first round battle, but in the round two you wouldn't be able to use any resources from the Batcave at all, and Batman would be back to his standard equipment.

You can field up to 3 amalgams, so you could field:

3 two character Amalgams
1 three character amalgam + 1 two-character amalgam + 1 character
2 two character amalgams + 1 character
1 three character amalgam + 2 characters
etc.

So long as your team consists of 3 combatants and no combatant is an amalgam of more than 3 characters you're fine. This opens up a lot of creative possibilities.

Very interesting, very interesting. And, I assume, you can switch it up between matches?

You can make any combination you want.

Also, your opponent won't know the combinations you've made or where you held your prep until your opening posts.

Just out of curiousity since I haven't done this before, how does the team selection process of getting your characters work exactly?

Usually in a random-draft.

Since there are SIX characters to be drafted, however, I'd say three random drafts and three that are the first three in reverse would be the fairest way.

So even if you happen to be the person who goes to the effort of digging out an obscure character and getting them approved, there's still a chance for someone else to take them? In that case is it possible to p.m. the mod privately so you can ask about a character being eligible without running the risk of others possibly taking your idea?

That's the traditional way.

Ill may have something different in his mind - it's his show.

Hmm...

Actually, I want to only have 3 Rounds of the draft, so in each round you'll be able to draft 2 characters, though you can also save a draft pick for a later round if you choose, but you can't make more than 3 choices in a round.

Hey Ill, is allright if I send you pm's to ask about whether characters fulfill the requirements for the tournament? It's mainly because I'm looking at obscure characters that no other person would think of if I don't mention them, but which are very good for this tournaments purposes, and I don't want to risk them getting drafted by someone else.
