We'll be calling our team "Girl Power"🙂

The "Ice Queens" would be better.

Heh. You guys need to recruit Krissy Von Doom out of retirement and you'll have probably the only other female combatant I can think of in tourney history. Though stormfront13 had a girl fetish in tourneys too for some reason, though he was supposedly a dude. Vampire Storm in a high herald tourney, for instance. Lulz. Though she was paired with Zatanna and someone else who wasn't totally worthless, so it wasn't a completely bad team.

Binary as a body character. Zatanna was "mind" and Bloodstorm was "powers". AFAIR.

Also I see Krissy occasionally on CBR, but... I don't think I'll be sending her an invitation🙂

scoob told me if i rode his coattails we would definitely win this whole thing. 🙂

I hope you know I plan on using Pri-Maid In the next tourney. 🙂

She can well replace M'gann in our combined team, however I'm not sure whether or not she fits the appearances quota.

Yeah she does. The white martians have made quite a few appearances. And since they are all generic, you can't tell whom is who. I knew you'd like Pri-maid. She kicked the Holy hell out of MM. 🙂

In fact if my playoffs plan goes as needed we'll have to discuss a few things about our combined team🙂

The experience goes in between seasons and I've just discovered a way to get a ton of it for free🙂

Also generic White Martians aren't sufficient there and specific Hyperclan band only had 4 appearances so no Primaid for us🙁(

Well you know me. I'm all about silly characters like Atom Bob and mixing them with other silly characters like Faust. If I think hard enough, I can find us another "Pri-Maid" very important to have your psi-power to it's max. 🙂

Well, I've unlocked a few things to you in my PM. In fact, I'm going to try and use a few interesting discoveries (for example, it turned out that the psychometry is perfectly legal in the tourney).

Speaking of obscures, I'm going to try and use several Freedom Force characters in the next season of tourney (the video game that ALSO has canon comics published by Image Comics in 2005).

You know, I'm also an user of not-A-listers for the most part.

But then, we'll discuss that+drops and drafts after that season (should we compete as a combined team in the next).

Four teams set to win.

Odds on them?

In depth descriptions now that we are in the playoffs?

Will Blair ever actually show up to a match?

All these questions will hopefully be answered.

Notice I said hopefully.

i love freedom force, but purely for the modding...

I'm not laying odds. I still feel confident, you guys are the first seed, I've seen Charlotte's plans, and she's been doing a ton of research on everyone's teams, and Scoob/leo have a billion victories between them and will likely form a more coherent front for the playoffs. It's anyone's guess, but will likely be fun.

Teams with Core members that have bin making use of the memory retention rule seem to have the best odds. A prime example would be, B-Dub/Smurph. And its need to incase itself with crap load of info, for do it all purpose mechanism.

Now granted this is coming from, some one is isn’t in the playoff’s. But my best strategy would be to cater our offense, to their weaknesses. Subtle drafts, that don’t conflict core drafts is often the ticket.

Probably so. It was the major rule that people used to their benefit this tournament. Nimrod and Minion moreso than any, though you and Charlotte used it some too. Knowing that the Marvel thing would be a sh*tstorm, I still have well over 60 pts. worth of characters inside of Minion that aren't controversial (Minion, KK, MNer, Black Panther, etc.). That was kinda the plan...even in the worst-case scenario, I still have probably 70 pts. worth of stuff for 30.

Though delph is still ok with my plan, the definitions behind it have just changed slightly, and since the ruling came after my last match was done I haven't had time yet to justify it further. I still believe there's nothing about it that doesn't work, and at least one judge agrees with me. My playoff strategy is less about Minion than the regular season has been (been saving my other tricks for when it counts) but I'm not entirely sure how much of his accumulated power I'll try to push for. It'll be interesting to see how participants and judges react to it.

...

I'm not sure you can call either of these last week's matches accurate gauges of how things will play out, so I'm not sure we can determine odds based off of seedings. Especially since most teams have changed many times over the season.

We've, belatedly, started using that as well.

God I hope not, there hasn't been any matches this week, just long (boring) exchanges over rule technicalities.

🙁

And phase one is now complete ... 😖hifty:

indeed . . ..

😖hifty: 😖hifty:

I only know one thing. Final battle arena works HIGHLY in team Smurph's favour. Warlock at Cybertron would be f*cking skyfather level being- highly unstoppable.

highly? heh
