Just PM me. It's been one of those weeks.For some reason this week's matches have become more People's Court than Combat Debate. I've got so many rule disputes going on in public view and in the background via PMs and instant messenger convos that you wouldn't believe... 🙁
The rulings are fine, but it is my contention that any arguments made about the miracle machine should have been made in the actual versus thread by a poster. In liu of the facts that the arguments were not posted and that cat is out of the bag, I can't see any other choice but to disregard that entire line of arguing and argue the match as if both sides are in battle with thier full plans.
B-Dub is a legal participant in the match and posted the contentions against the Miracle Machine himself. The Bada post, which is inadmissable, was an extension of what B-Dub had already contended on behalf of Smurph. B-Dub's argument would therefore stand, though the expansion on the points posted by Bada would not.

Authority Carrier or SHIELD Helicarrier?
Authority. I have Midnighter this week. Even something simple like Doors require access to the Carrier during the battle, which (iirc) was banned a couple weeks ago when Kandy/id wanted to interact with Cable's base during the battle.
Fangirl, you're annoying.

Ohhh snap......Digi with Midnighter, now this should be good and yes too bad Carrier is not allowed.
About the other thing..... ✅

It's not revealing anything to say I'm assimilating him into Minion so that I have him through the rest of the tourney. MN'er's calculative abilities can help any character, though. The only hard part is juggling the various power sets I have in Minion now, as well as the rest of my team. There's just too much awesome demanding attention in my posts that it's hard to cram it all in.

It's a lovely thing that carrier is. I have more surprises lined up than a working girl in vegas.

Assimilating Midnighter? Wish you'd had him against us so I could point out why that wouldn't work.

Was it the same reason you used for the Marvel's, that the judges went on to believe anyway because of my evidence?
😛
Besides, I don't need MN'er's soul, just his instincts/skills/etc. which is actually the only part you never questioned.

I"m calling foul on anyone but a tourney partner posting in a match. Even if it's it by PM or what ever. It's unfair. They should be disqualified and the match forfiet to me. There was no ruling by ILL in this thread that they could do that.

Smurph says:
I love the smell of desperation in the air.
I find it quite funny how Fangirl initially contends that none of this is going to be a problem if she wins, and now starts raising all hell about it, to the point of demanding an automatic win. I guess she doesn't think she's winning the match?
PM'd him. We likely won't get the chance to talk with all 3 of us, but I made my case, and will be ok either way.
It's actually one of the smaller parts of my plan, so if it's declared illegal it doesn't really hurt my chances. But I'd still like to know one way or another with enough time to respond with my last post in my match.

I'd like to bring up a point for discussion. A few of us have had rulings made against us during battles. I'm the latest. Fortunately for me, it's a small part of my overall plan, and just something I dug up a day or two before battles as an afterthought in prep.
But rulings of any nature seem to convey a momentum shift, sometimes justifiably, other times completely unjustified. And it's a genuine fear to me right now that I'll get voted against because an aspect of my plan was banned, despite not being intrinsic to the battle.
Now, I'm 3-0, presumably headed to the playoffs, and not overly concerned. But what if the same thing happened in the finals? Or even semis?
As such, I want to institute a rule that all potential illegalities be brought before ill by a certain time, and ruled on by a certain time. I'll propose Tuesday at midnight for the former, Wed. at midnight for the latter (barring life complications with illadelph). Because, frankly, I think bringing up an issue mid-afternoon on Thursday (Scoob) is a bit unfair. Fortunately I was on and able to respond tonight. Many would not have been so lucky.
I got off easy this time and don't feel worse off for it. But if circumstances had been different, I'd be upset right right now. And it could also become an insidious tactic to use in the playoffs, to prevent people from having a chance to respond to a ruling and thus gain an unfair advantage. I identified 1-2 things I thought might be wrong with Kandy/id's plan, for example, and PMd ill on Monday. That should be standard protocol. Not waiting until it becomes an unfair advantage.
I say this now so someone isn't pissed off and burned later. Like I said, my situation is fortunate, but it could have easily been unfairly worse for me.
Obvious exceptions will need to be made if an illegal tactic isn't used until after those deadlines.
