Fuzzy Hawkeye & Newjak Present: The Magical Mystery Tourney

Greetings one and all and welcome to the extravagant, phenomenal, and certainly splendid tourney of Captain Spaulding, formally known as Redatom65 and Rufus T. Firefly. With his ever so delighted, yet pugnacious partners in crime, Newjak and Hason Kayfor. This is a very complex Tourney, unlike the formers, so it’s absolutely dire that you carefully read this, so that you don’t ask any dumb questions.

First and fore most this will be a tourney represented by 6 characters, in which the individual drafts. 3 of these characters can be pre-amalgated, so long as Newjak or myself approves of the base characters being fused. The cap is about Wonder Woman level, though characters like the Martian Manhunter are allowed, because of their many low showings, that are easily exploited. Characters such as Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, excluding Jay Garrick, and Captain Atom are banned from this tourney. The fusion that results from the amalgation are allowed however.

1. You will be paired up with a person randomly every match, a different person, in which you will each choose 3 characters, in anticipation of whom your opponents will choose. Therefore making the battle a 6 on 6. However, you may amalgate two of your normal characters, one of your own, and one of your partner’s for this one match, therefore making it a 5 on 6, or if your partner decides to do it a 5 on 5. One of the components going into ruling, will be on how you used your characters as a team. In conclusion, you can draft up to 9 characters, since 3 can be pre-amalgated.

2. Environments will vary frequently. For every match.

3. Prep time will vary in every match to prevent users from over using prep. Some matches will have a week of preparation, others 15 seconds. Therefore eliminating someone from using the same strategy for every match.

4. Having 6 characters, and 3 for every match, you will not be allowed to use all 3 pre amalgated characters in a match. This prevents people from using the same strategy in every match.

5. Users will be placed in 2 separate primary pools where they will face every user in the named pool at least twice depending on how many users there are that join, and from there will progress into the medal round, ad from there the two users that finish the best record, will face one another with all six characters represented.

6. The post limit is 8 Posts within a week, judges will have 2-3 days to judges matches.

7. After Drafting, there will be a period users can object to drafted characters, and vote to have them removed. It’ll come down to a judge vote should it be close.

8. Matter manipulation is allowed, as well as possession, and BFR punching, so long as it does not result in OHKO. No OHKO’s.

9. Should a participant’s partner drop out of a match, the user will still gain points. People will get points in the following ways.

Should a user win without their partner there, they will be granted 3 point. If a user is without their partner. The match will be a 6 on 3.

No partner, Still win = 3 Points

Should you win a match with your partner, you will receive 2 points.

Win a match with your partner = 2 points

Should you lose a match, but your partner isn’t there. You shouldn’t be punished because of your partner. The user who participates, will still get a point, even if they lost.

Lose, without partner - 1 point

Should you lose with your partner, you will gain no points

Standard loss = 0 points

10. Drafting will begin March 1st 2008, Each week, users will draft one of their single characters, and one amalgam (every Saturday, singles are drafted. Every Sunday, amalgams are drafted). During this period, participants can vote to ban characters. This process will be 3 weeks.

Draft Choices will be sent to me, for approval, in which the judges will discuss it’s impending approval. The judges are: Myself, Creshosk, Badabing, Jason Kayfor, Casanova, Validus, and Newjak.

11. Before the opening rounds of the tournament, a user is allowed to swap characters between their singles and amalgams up to three times, should they want to.

12. Power Copying is allowed. As it would be unfair to those who have already drafted to change it, as they may be relying on it as a main means of strategy.

13. Trading among other users, as long as both parties have consent is allowed up until the beginning of the tourney. You may do this as many times as you please.

Finally: This drafting of this tourney will not begin until the week before the final round in Illadelph’s tourney. In the mean time, think about draft choices. Happy Competing

Confirmed Users: PR, Smurph, and Blair Wind

Note: Don't bug Bada, or PR, or Digi, or any of the mods. Please direct questions at Myself, or Newjak, who just happens to be hanging on by a string.

Well this Newjak.

Welcoming everyone here.

Have fun and enjoy.

Feel free to direct all antiquing questions to me, JasonK4. I love to help answer all your questions about antiques. 🙂

You're having a tourney right in the middle of a tourney?

Wow... that is complicated. I don't suppose you could give a hypothetical example of a round to clear up the process a little...

Just gives people time to get ready. Once this thing actually starts, in some weeks or so, it's going to move fast, from what I understand. srug

Well Goob, I wanted my compadres to try to make it less complicated, but I've explained it so often to them, I guess they didn't read it that carefully. I'll go through an example shortly, I'm currently preoccupied with packing for Boston

No. He's announcing a tourney right before the semi's for another tourney, which has dwindled down to four teams anyways. 😬

Lulz. I just remember when tourneys used to be a special occurrence.

Nowadays it's as if one happens every other week.

You draft three Wonder Woman level characters.

Then you draft three characters who are amalgamations of Wonder Woman level characters (amalgamations consisting of two Wonder Woman level characters).

Each round, you're teamed with someone random, and you each choose three characters to field. You can only field two amalgams per round, but you can amalgamate your individual guy with the individual guy of your teammates team.

It effectively becomes a 6 (or 5) vs. 6 (or 5).

And we have random partners each round of the tourney?

Weird but sounds cool.

Where can I see some of the other tourneys then?

So first I draft three characters like WW, Martian Manhunter, etc., then I draft three amalgam's like Hulk/Superboy, and come match time I add one of my original choices to my amalgam so that I have a single 3 character amalgam for the match?

And we have random partners each round of the tourney?

There is no amalgamating mid-tourney (with one minor exception). You draft amalgamations, who then become characters in themselves.

You draft three amalgamations, consisting of two WW level characters each.

You draft three WW level characters by themselves.

You effectively have six characters to choose from (three amalgams, three solos).

You field three of these at a time... any of the people on your team, so long as you choose at least one Solo, or maximum two Amalgams.

You randomly pair with a partner every round, who has to choose from his characters the same. You do have the option of amalgamating your solo with your partner's solo at the beginning of the round.

Capice?

Are these total amalgams(you get ALL the characters feats), or is there going to be a specific system in place?

basically:

You draft 3 regular characters, one of these 3 you can fuse with a partner's character, who is also a regular character for one match. This is optional. 3 characters are optional amalgams. you can fuse 2 characters, for an amalgam. so you can draft up to 9 characters. But 6 would be represented. In a match your only allowed to use two of your preamalgated characters.

Prep varies every match, to avoid prep whores from abusing it.

Every match your paired up with a random user, giving every user a sense of what everyone is thinking, since you're practically working with everyone at last once, to take down everyone else. It'll be a 6 on 6. 3 of your characters will be used. but going back to the one match amalgam, it could be a 5 on 6. It'll be olympic pooling. meaning 2 pools, and from there into the medal rounds, and into the finals where only 2 people will face, depending on their record. Any Questions?
