My dream tournament at this point is Trans. Maybe two to a team. No prep except shields, but everything is allowed. Speed force, offensive matter manip., time travel, duplication, tech creation, power copying, dimensional portals, BFR. Anything. Prep tourneys bore me after we bludgeoned them to death, but I think that we could eliminate a lot of the griping about people finding loopholes and such by removing all restrictions. And Odin is a pretty hard stop, so it would be hard to get any characters in over the limit.

Mind you, I likely wouldn't enter. But that would be the most fun to watch.

I would participate in that kind of tourney.

Problem is that any tourney talk is mostly in the abstract at this point. We've had, what, one completed tourney in the last 4 years? I'm actually surprised the last one lasted as long as it did. KMC tourneys were epic and awesome, and had some of the most rigorous debating you'll find. But if anyone really wants to enter a tourney that will finish and won't last 6+ months, at this point you're probably having to look to other sites.

I'm not saying it's impossible, of course. Just very unlikely. The individual tier title belts we had/have were the only feasible idea moving forward, because all it takes is two willing people and a few judges at a time.

Digi, I know our match never happened, and that's my bad, but I still kinda wanna challenge you for that High Meta belt...

Or, if we don't have a low or mid meta belt holder, I'd be happy to participate in that match.

OR, if someone wants to challenge for the mid herald belt, I'd be happy to do that too.

I'm just bored.

No worries. I have less time these days anyway. But I can't remember if anyone besides you or I has belts. All the matches have been at the levels we currently hold them. I think I technically have two, having won the HH belt in the "Thor v. Thor" match I had with Damborgson.

I have no desire to sacrifice myself to God Cable; it's really not my tier, and if Leo and Abhi couldn't do it, I don't stand a chance. But I would probably be up for a match for one of mine. You have the benefit of knowing the opponent (Thor or Luke), but I have all my scans together for them, so it wouldn't be a ton of work.

Better yet, find someone else to do a one-off with you for a different belt entirely. Might encourage more if we expand to other tiers.

I challenge Smurph for a rematch for mid herald belt. This time its for keeps.

uhuh

Under my original rules, it stated that all Champs would be stripped of their belts if they did not defend their titles. So technically all belts are up for grab.

Didn't that presume challengers, though? I don't want to start a kerfuffle over rules for something that's laid idle for, what, over a year? But I always thought they had to vacate if they refused a challenge in that span, but not if no one challenged them. That seems more reasonable given our lack of Battlezone traffic, no? Unless we generate enough volume, that seems better to me than vacating them shortly after each match.

The rules are set up so that no champ may dictate the pace of the tourneys. There's a 30 day window after you win said belt, after that if there's no defense match set up the belts belong to KMC, not you. 😛

Excellent!!!

Wow !

We need 5 judges and someone to host. Then both of you must pm the host to see if your character's qualify.

Leo, Digi, Pr and me are probably the most reliable guys you can get as judges, although I don't know if leo is available at this point (and Digi said he'd be soon taking a Real Life break from the forums). Ask Id too, he's a prominent tournament competitor.

If I say yes, I wouldn't flake. I'd prefer you find another judge though, especially since I judged both previous mid herald belt matches.

I believe that if no one issues a challenge then it is silly to strip the person of the belt. The champ should have thirty days to accept otherwise the belt is meaningless as no one is going to defend this thing every thirty days.

Fine ! 😠

They have to post and agree.

Blair, Delph or Bada could probably be approached to judge too. Digi votes against me every time though. So let him take his break from judging. ermm

As for PMing a host about my character, given that he's the defending champ and has won twice now, it would be silly to get God Cable approved again.

Should I reveal my character in this thread or PM the host?

Pm the host and make sure no one finds out who the character is.

I have no idea who will be hosting.
