the belt/gauntlets easily falls into those 2 categories, though i'd be just as happy with simple standard equipment only being allowed, as was the case in the first couple rds. 😬
It wasn't the case for the first round (we haven't had a couple of rounds...). All we have to base that assertion off is one vague post by Kahn that he hasn't been around to provide any reason for. Batdude's stepped in and is trying to reason out what makes sense, and overrules what doesn't, because when the rule maker is absent, what choice do we have?
I hate this part of tourneys. Not directing the negativity towards anyone in particular (just quoting you Leo, not attacking you), but when everything gets reduced to this bickering, drafting sucks.
Anyways, talking with Jake at the moment. We'll try and resort out everything ASAP to get this show on the road.

sorry. bad day in RL. all's cool.
I have no problems with drafting Loki clean. Regrettably our bickering has ruined Smurph's initial draft. We should both step back on our desired claims and simply let him have the gear. But that decision is out of our hands now anyways.

now THAT is something we can agree on. my apologies to to smurph and jake. it wasn't my intent to try and get ww banned (though i think a double strength thor is still a herald--just adding strength wouldn't be enough imo to place him above herald . . .) i was ALWAYS all right with ww and her gear.
let it stand this rd bats and we'll deal with it next rd. 😬
The characters (with equipment) being drafted HAVE existed and have showings in comics. It seems silly in theory to not allow a character with legitimate showings and feats to not compete because there is a more popular and well-known version of the character, even if the latter version isn't being used.
That being said, I think this little debacle has shown the other side of the coin...
Rather than making rushed decisions, since everybody seems to have reached an agreement and happiness, can we leave things as they were and sit on this until a thought out decision can be reached by finals? Hopefully by then Kahn will have time to give input as well.

Id, you're lucky I wasn't in this thing. I've never lost a quick-draw draft scenario. I wish I had that sh*t cataloged, but I have to be at least 4-0 in them. My favorite was when I had posted before the thread starter's page had loaded after creating the thread, so he never actually saw his thread without a post.Though I probably wouldn't have been after Surfer, so meh.
All I can say is I am quite pleased to have posted twice within a minute. stonedgun3

Not unless that same precedent is going to be applied to all characters (thor with belt, BRB's ship, etc).

A ship was ruled to not fall under the same rules as normal equipment, which Batdude JUST said.
Seriously, we've been over these things. Is there any objection that you have that everybody else in the tourney hasn't already come to terms with?
