Draft Round 1: Batdude123 and TheKahn's Holiday Herald Tournament

You still have dibs on Wally West (until this matter is finally settled) 😉

There is still Hal Jordan (and every member of all the Lantern Corps save Kyle), numerous Superman villains & allies, Beta Ray Bill, Orion, other New Gods, Martian Manhunter, other members of the JLA & JSA, dozens of Kryptonians and Daxamites, etc.

Its not just about raw power. It about having a plan to maximize a teams strengths and minimize their weaknesses through creative team selection and power meshing.

Someone Strong. Someone Fast, and Someone that changes Stuff. All these guys with all these extra powers is too much for me to handle. Zoom is better than Wally because he can blast with his hands. Wally is limited to hand to hand. Not good when you are fighting the Silver Surfer or Superman. One wrong move and your skull is clay. 🙂
Well, You guys decide on EL please. He's the only guy in all of comics who can beat Surfer at matter Manip.Well besides Sersi but she gets her head knocked off before she can do a thing.

Thor has no external power up when he goes mad. He just gets more powerful. Any way, Element Lad was not element lad when he had his powerup. That would be like banning Captain Atom because he later became Monarch. I would cry holy water in a vampire's coffin if someone tried to use Monarch's feats when they drafted Captain Atom. Different names.

Insane Thor before he got the Power Gem was no stronger than regular Thor, just way more brutal. If somebody tried to use WM Thor (with no gem) as strength feats for Thor, I would have little issue with that. His pre-power gem feats weren't even that great.

What is this Warrior Madness Thor is ten times stronger stuff? And you did see what I was saying about Captain Atom and Monarch. Same guy, different character. Hard to explain. Can't use Monarch feats for Captain Atom. Different Name. I can't use Progenitor's feats when I drafted EL. Same exact thing.

If Monarch had no external powerup, then he just shows what cap. atom would be capable of if he wasn't ****ing around.

The tourny hosts have made decisions. Complaining in this thread will do nothing but get you a warning. Any further concerns can be taken to a PM.

Is it late for me to join a team?

As was my post. You also disregarded my previous post about people causing problems in this thread. Let me be very clear. Your account is questionable at best. If I see anymore reports or complaints about you I will be quick with warnings and bans. I hope you understand me now. Thanks.

Shouldn't power girl be the draft for Omega Vision until he actually specifically says that he didn't want that pick?

I haven't heard from Omega Vision yet so I'm just holding Powergirl and Wally until he says which way he's going to go. If we don't hear from him in an appropriate amount of time, we'll put both characters back into the pool.

Just a quick observation/suggestion: ban tech creation if it hasn't been already. Kal memorized the plans to the Miracle Machine, after all.

Thanks for the tip. We decided to allow a little tech creation so long as its use doesn't violate the rules (ie raises an individual/team higher than herald level or manipulates time/reality). I know its a risk but we're trying to pick our fights with what we ban outright. 😬

Again, be careful. With how you worded it there, to use the same example, the Miracle Machine could then be created and only used up to the tourney limits, ensuring victory without breaking the rules. A simple clarification will clear it up: that the tech cannot even have the potential to exceed tourney limits. Because with that wording, a >>>>> tourney limits item could be created, then nerfed to be legal.

Damn good point. I hadn't thought of that. It'll be added to the rules starting with the second draft tonight. 👆

Are we missing anything else? 😕
