I want to judge, I've never played on this before but sadly I only get less and less time to do stuff online lately.

Alright.

Oh, so are you going to enter after all?

So do judges outnumber competitors right now?

i've tried competeing before and I suck at it 🙁


The only way to get better at something is to practice. I did a lot better on my second tourney than on the first. I still lost, but I was up against two of the greatests debaters on the site. And for a second I actually thought I might beat Smurph.

Then he broke my balls.

Yeah. I'd really rather for now that people apply as contestants (though I guess there's nothing wrong with a surplus of judges... after all, people won't always be available).

Leo isn't around either? Sadly some of the random competition got slowly but steadly banned.

I PMed Leo but haven't gotten a reply.

I would like to join as a competitor. I'll pm you to see if my picks will be allowed in the draft.

I haven't done this in three years so i'll watch and judge before I try to do it myself.I'm not good with what you might call strategy.

What else did you except against smurph? 😂

New Rule:

Telepathy is allowed, but no mind control, or anything that would be under the OHK rule (for instance, information overload type abilities).

Rulings:

Just a couple of questions to help me get an idea of how much work I'll need to do.

1. I'm seeing both an absolutely no power copying rule and 20 minutes worth of prep... so what's allowed and what's not? If I drafted Ironman, could I give some of his old armors to the rest of my team if we prepped in Tony's base? If I drafted Hank Pym, could he use his Pym particles to increase the size of the rest of my team? If I drafted Moondragon, could she use tp to transfer her knowledge to her teammates so that they would have telepathy too(her tp is a learned skill)?

2. What's the policies on constructs(both independant and remote)?

3. How "in character" are our teams? If I draft Doom and Reed will they cooperate fully with each other or would there be distrust to deal with? Would Captain America use his shield to decapitate a small child if I wanted him to(I know that's a messed up example, but it's the first thing that sprang to mind)?

4. Will there be any special stipulations on "instant tech"?

Power Copying: Basically, this is a "spirit of the law" case. Power Copying is anything that would let a character generate the power of a different character. I don't find the first two cases to be violations, because their power is just derived from items of the other characters. However, the third case could be a violation because the power would be created internally.

Constructs: No policy. Go ahead and make them. However, the "no multiplying" rule applies, so something like the super-adaptoid armies you did before would not work. (Even though they were created by matter manipulation, it still is against the spirit of no duplication).

PIS and CIS: Basically, you are acting through your characters power sets and knowledge base. They just do whatever you want them to do. Their personalities don't matter unless you choose them to play a role.

Instant Tech: There is no limit. However, whatever abilities the tech generates could not violate any of the existing rules (for instance, nanobots that render a character nigh-unkillable would be out).

Competitors as of now:

1. Blair
2. Smurph
3. Psycho Gundam (maybe)
4. Ambient
5. Darthgoober (maybe)
6. Rader

Creepy pic there, PG. Looks like a nice cast of entrants.

A little bit on the short side.

Can I judge and participate?I need a loophole biscuits

No i'm afraid that would be a definite conflict of interest. But if you wanted to switch to contestant I wouldn't mind that.

Unfortunatly no.I'll definitly try this time but for now I would perfer to observe.

Any idea when this might be?

It's dependent on getting people enlisted... go tell your friends or something.

Dang, this is lame, it seems as the most obvious moment for me to get started but I certainly cannot dedicate enough time to make my part noteworthy.

How is the elimination process btw? Groups? Robin rounds? Straight elimination? Redrafts? (should I just go ahead and read the pages before?)
