Illadelph's Multi Genre Team Tournament Confirmation Thread

Explain the process. does EACh charcter get 10 minutes of prep for a total of 60 minutes prep? or let's say I make 3 2 person amalgams. Would that then each away 6 mintues of a total of ten minutes or would it eat away 6 minutes of 60 minutes prep? Or are the amalgams themselves looked at as beings thus they get only 30 minutes of prep?

IVO actually has access to everything he's invented. Desaad does not. Darkseid takes most of the good stuff away.

The way we understand it, you are given a 10 minute time slot. During the time the character is amalgamating they can't do anything else, so If you're amalgamating 3 characters then they can't work on prep stuff for 4 of the 10 minutes.

That seems a bit confusing. So if say 4 off the characters are merging into two beings, the one that is left can't be prepping? Not that it matters as i have come up with a way past the time constraints, but it's good to know.

Yeah but he can only access it during his one prep time though right?

Ivo doesn't carry anything around with him.

No, there's 10 minutes prep before each battle for your entire team collectively. If you amalgamated 3 characters those 3 characters would have 6 minutes remaining of prep after the process, but meanwhile the other 3 members of the team could still be performing tasks. You can perform the amalgamations at any point during prep, and you don't have to have your entire team amalgamate at the same time. You can do your prep work up until the 6 to 8 minute mark and then amalgamate or however you choose.

So basically it's 10 minutes prep each then. becuz while some are amalgamating, another could be prepping something? it's not like well we are gonna amalgamate, you guys just sit on your hands until we are done type of thing. Or is it?

The one that is left can prep during the whole time, but the other characters who are amalgamating would be unable to assist in any way during the 2 minutes where they're both amalgamating, but after that they'd be free.

Gotcha. now explain amalgams. I think i understand. Is there a formula that is standard?

Exactly. You could have all your characters pair off into three 2 character amalgams at the onset of prep and the entire team would still have 8 minutes remaining, or you can have certain members performing tasks as others amalgamate. However you choose, you just have to manage the clock.

You get a complete mesh of all characters that are amalgamated. For instance, by mixing Data with any member of your team they would get his processing speed, intelligence, coordination, strength, etc. combined with whatever abilities they have inherently.

zoinks. I didn't know that. i was thinking you get like the mind of one person, the body of another, and another's powers. This just open's up a whole new set of ideas. I have to get busy. B.A. And face have been digging up scans and now I gotta work some new Prep mojo. Thanks.

We'll be waiting for that🙂

Trust me I already asked Ill about that 😛

I would just like to point out Nvr there is no way out of the 10 minute time constraint. You have ten minutes and that is it.

That's also why I rejected Prometeus in favour of Klaw (and after withdrawing Klaw-Spot). He has done some pretty impressive stuff with nanites, but there was no real way to squeeze all that in less than 10 minutes.
Of course, the speed of thought of cyborg is great, but when you have only a couple of showings of that ability- it's better to do that without stretch so yout opposition won't have the opportunity to debate against your timing.

There is no debating against Data's timing.

Then you know that Data's Thinking speed and hand speed are indisputible. Remember his daughter and how he was working so fast to save her that his hands couldnt' be seen? Hmm?

But there is a difference between indisputable and relevant to what you will be doing. Just don't think you will be getting a free ride with that 😉

I know all about them. I also know how well he can determine and refine things. Ever see the episode where he si gambling and realigns the dice to always win for him 😄

Oh he's got even more feats than that. But really, I just care about his mind. I didn't even know that he could keep his other powers when amalgaming. I'm trying to figure out now How I can stack abilities with tech. Oh well. i have like 3 days to figure out this new info.
