If it was a clear exploit, it was approved before the tournament, during drafts when I said exactly what I'd be doing, and also in my earlier matches. Someone pre-tourney said that this tournament would be about finding legal loopholes. I found one, and then was punished for it unfairly.
Don't act smug Joey, it just lowers peoples' opinions of you. As it is, our match was nothing but me trying not to lower myself to your constant whining and disrespect toward anything I said that disagreed with you...pretty much like every warning you've ever had from about 4 different mods. If you want to laugh at my misfortune, feel free to do so, but don't pretend like it makes you anything more than less of a man.
I'll co-sign what Blair said. I told Evangel exactly what I would be doing and it was approved...I could even post the PM where I explained that Doctor would be creating Reed and Lex's tech, but there's not much point when it's been publicly posted as well. It was only once my plans were shown to be more powerful than others, or enough people complained about it (likely some combination of the two) was the rule changed.
Also, by this rule goober's plan would also be invalid, since an adaptoid robot is "tech", so I'm happy in a backward way for him that he left before his similarly clever plan was invalidated (though I certainly am NOT happy about the circumstances which made him leave).
As it is, I won't argue the rule change, and will just bow out of the tournament. Since I made my drafts based on the earlier rules, my team is now far too handicapped to continue. I wish the best of luck to the remaining competitors who have earned my respect, either as tourney competitors or as KMC members.
