Combat Rules (Bumped)
Originally posted by illadelph12
[b]League Combat Rules (updated):1. This will be a Ironman/High Meta Tier Tournament. The characters do not need to be less powerful than Ironman himself, simply in the same power class. There is no cap on how powerful your amalgamation can be. The limits are simply on the individual members of your roster prior to amalgamation.
2. No offensive matter manipulation. Only the elements of the battlefield can be altered.
3. No time manipulation powers or technology.
4. No one-hit kill (OHK) abilities (example, Omega Red's "Death Factor", Rogue's soul/life-force absorption, dismemberment via teleportation of limbs/objects into vitals, etc.).
5. No access to the battlefield prior to the beginning of combat. Teams will begin combat .5 kilometers away from each others' position.
6. Prep: Prep is allowed. You get 10 (ten) minutes of prep per match at a member of your team's historical base of operations. Characters that are members of teams (JLA, Stormwatch, Avengers, etc) will be able to utilize the team base of operations unless the character is also a solo hero and has their own personal base of operations (i.e. Batman gets the Bat-cave as his base even though as a member of the JLA he has access to the Watchtower). For characters that are members of a team you will not have access to any of their teammates equipment or arsenal, only the prep host's resources. The only resource available to you other than the prep host's arsenal will be the computer database present at the base. You get the character's historic primary base of operations and access to the prep host's equipment only. No exceptions and no loopholes. The default prep area is the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England.
Addendum/Clarification: Prep areas can be used as many times as you wish.
Addendum/Clarification (#2): Battle Information: Combatants will be given general public information on their opponents (name, basic overview of powers (simple things like "Iceman controls cold" "Strong Man is Strong", or "Storm controls weather", etc), place of origin. More indepth information on your opponents can be gained via access of databases at prep area (assuming you prepped in an opponents native universe and their info is available, i.e., opponent is Joker, you have Batman on your roster) or the knowledge that your characters would have of the opposition (if they are allies, enemies, etc).
7. Tech: Creation of tech is allowed during prep. However, high end offensive weaponry or power neutralizers can not be brought from prep to the battlefield. No offensive implement with a greater payload than an independently powerered, non-enhanced Ironman armor is allowed. The technology can be used to amplify and enhance your characters during prep. Defensive technological implements (psi blockers, forcefield generators, armor) will be allowed, as well as communications devices and personal teleporters/means of transportation.
8. Amalgamation: The amalgamation process will take place during prep and will utilize a portion of your prep time as follows:
2 character amalgam: 2 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
3 character amalgam: 4 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
4 character amalgam: 6 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
5 character amalgam: 8 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
6+ character amalgam: 10 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.Demalgamation is instantaneous. You can amalgamate a character then demalgamate them at will during prep. Amalgamations can take place at any point in time during prep, and all characters do not need to amalgamate at the same time. This is purely at the participants discretion.
9. Experience is the only thing that carries over from battle to battle. You can not bring any implement that you acquired during prep or during the battle to the subsequent rounds. All you'll have is your memories/experiences/knowledge from the previous battle. No exceptions. No loopholes.
10. Duplication/Self Replication: The ability to create copies of yourself (i.e. Multiple Man/Dupli-Kate/Animal Man's ability to replicate themselves) is officially banned (per majority vote).
11. No CIS.
12. Mind Control and Telepathy: Mind control of your opponent, be it by any means (telepathy, hypnosis, possession) is banned. Offensive telepathic assault is allowed.
13. Each poster/team is allowed 10 combat posts plus 4 scan only posts (14 posts total each). Scan only posts are used to post evidence only, not arguments.
14. Battle Field Removal: Battle Field Removal (BFR; removing your opponent from the battlefield via teleportation, bannishing, or exertion of force[bfr punching]) is banned.
Addendum/Clarification: Teams are confined to the surface area and airspace of the battlefield within the planets atmosphere. Abilities which require a character to momentarily travel extradimensionally (Nightcrawler's teleportation, Spot's teleportation, etc.), and powers which allow a character to become momentarily out of phase/intangible (Martian intangibility/mass shunt, etc) are allowed. Voluntarily leaving the battlefield, indefinitely or otherwise, is officially banned per executive decision.
15. Power Copying: The ability to copy the powers of other characters (i.e. Mimic/Duplicate Boy/Synch) is officially banned (per majority vote).
16.Immortality and Healing Factors: Immortality (Deadpool, Mr. Immortal, etc.) is banned (per majority vote). Healing factors are allowed.
17. Speed Cap: Traveling speed is capped at Mach 10 (per majority vote).
Addendum/Clarification: Speed cap is applicable for combat only.
18. Independent Constructs: Independently acting constructs are officially banned (per majority vote).
19. Precognition/Clairvoyance: Precog and clairvoyance are banned per executive order. Spider-sense like/combat awareness abilities are perfectly legal.
20. Probability Alteration/Luck Powers: Probability Alteration powers (a la Longshot, Shamrock, etc) are banned per executive order.
21. Size Alteration/Shrinking Powers: The ability to shrink to a subatomic state (i.e. The Atom) is banned per executive order. The diminutive size cap is 2 cms. [/B]
Bada, if you read this, do you think you could edit the Page 1 Combat rules section and insert the finalized rules above? Thanks.

Kandy, id, I'm farting into the microphone and calling it a writeup for next week. I can't even think straight at the moment. But at least I'm proud of all the work I put in this week, which was more than I've done for any single match ever.
Judges, sorry again. But read it all, please. Whoever wins, it's an epic match.
it WAS fun. 🙂
All my matches are great .... I rock!
drunk again, eh? sigh . . .
and thanks for all the help this week, bast@rd. have fun squaring off against cdb 1on1. next week's MY week off. 😄

Fukk you, I posted a lot of stuff in this last match ... you may have had more total posts but often you're comments were short and could have had 2 or 3 posts reduced to 1 single post ... hell, I should be the one complaining about you wasting so much space and time.
😛
And not "drunk again" ... I wasn't drunk when I posted that last comment (I am now though)

ahh, you know i still luv ya, ya big lug. 1 drunken post from you is worth like, 3 sober posts from anyone else in this thing. 😄
and screw you--i was determined to reach our post limit--for once. 😛 (it was fun making digi work really hard . . . heh)
Hrn. A fair portion of my next writeup depends on results from this week. Obviously things will change based upon judges' reactions to Minion Prime. My current version presumes that the judges accepted it (which they should, btw 😉 ), but things will change drastically if they don't.
What happens if the results aren't in by tonight? If they aren't in, I'd like to request a postponement for a day or two for my match. I realize it might not be allowed, but we did it once this week, and would allow me to make an informed writeup.
Thanks for the consideration. And if the answer is no, no worries. I'll adjust accordingly.

Also, if you lost the match it probably means you don't get to keep any upgrades even if they were believed in the first place ... seeing as how your robo-brick would have been totally destroyed.

He's been destroyed before and retained his personalities once he was rebuilt. Don't ask me how, since it doesn't seem to make much sense to me either, but he did.
But besides that, once I win, this won't be an issue ( 😛 ).
