I think Blair and I are free. Is anybody else kicking around?

Set the bar just below Peak Human Hip-Hop-Kido practitioner?

Hip Hop Kido ain't nuthin' to f*ck wit.

I'm going to host it. I'll have a thread posted within a week, guaranteed. This time i'm not messing around. High meta, maybe mixed genre.

Is there anyway we can get a new tourney started? I feel like competing again.

The other one seems to have died.

I'm around a lot more now, so I'm down to compete properly this time.

I've always liked team tourneys the most, but if nobody else is down for that, so be it.

Me too. Requires enough interest though...

^ this might be a bad time to pitch this then........

i'm thinking of throwing a tourney with the theme being "lame/never used" characters, for example: turner d. century, triton (inhumans), conduit, rocket racer, vibe, etc

the characters nobody really pays attention to but paired with the right characters (or debated properly) they can shine

the big names have been done to death, it'd be interesting to see what some people could find out of the depths of the comic bargain bin

What's the criteria?

Draft not allowed if it's been used in a tourney before?

Digi should have a full list.

Not down.

biscuits

you can use past tournament choices

i haven't ironed this out at all, but i'm mainly focused on characters like stiltman and the penguin, characters that are never selected for anything ever.

my last exam us Wednesday, so I'm down. actually, unless Gundam is really interested, I'd be interested in organizing one. even if Gundam is running, I'm in for helping him/judging, or competing if not. just don't want to push my undefeated record 😛

Hey if that doesn't take long to organized im down to that..

Just too bad KK's tourney finished prematurely.. lol I had a few ideas that was not used, should have put it to 2nd gear when i was facing with Inmalist.. JK ahh well...

Good idea having a tourney with a b lister char tourney... There's a few WS char. id like to use..

yeah, it's something different

"spider-man level" and lower should be decent, but character popularity is a factor. gambit is around spidey level give or take, but he's too famous for this thing, you'd have to get the creeper instead uhuh

obscure metas? I stomp!

Wish the last tournament hadn't died. Or we could at least finish those specific rounds (one vote left for my match, did the other match finish?).

I need to focus on RL shit but I'd be willing to judge if anything happens.

Is it just popularity? I get the feeling that it's also lame-itude.

For instance, if Wildstorm wrote all of Spider-Man instead of Marvel, and if Wildstorm was still the indy-ish corporation that it is, Spider-Man would be a great pick as he wouldn't be popular despite being awesome.

Creeper on the other hand, is, the creeper. Lame wherever he is.

I realize it gets really subjective, but I think it's more interesting to target overlooked-due-to-lame characters rather than never-looked-at-due-to-few-appearances (or separate company) characters.

I also realize the line between those isn't exactly distinct, and that this wasn't the most clear cut way I could explain myself, but I'm still wrapping my head around the idea.

I'm available to judge these things if need be.

I'll let you know if I think of anything.
