Curryman's Meta-Amalgam Tourney!

Originally posted by chipguy_okay
I want to participate. I looked through the first page to see a draft of characters, but didn't see any. What's High meta and below mean? And were allowed more than 1 power, right?

...Is the below character valid?

1 character's body. - Savage Dragon
1 character's mind.- Modeus
1 character's powers. Qubi, Sandman, and Bullseye

Official Thread

Step 1; Drafting
Choose any 3 characters from High Meta or below.

Body: You choose the body of a character.
Mind: You put the mind of a character in said body.
Powers: You endow said person with a power-set.

Simply put; Body + Mind + Power = Your Amalgam

Step 2; Power Limitations
Make sure that your character does not violate any of these rules/limitations

- No death-moves, this means attacks that by their very nature are completely unavoidable and un-defendable against.
- No offensive matter manipulation (ie. Can not be used directly on the battlefield/opponents)
- No multiplying (ie. Multiple Man, dupli-kate, multi-paul).
- Power Absorption/Copying/Amplification is not allowed beyond the obvious benefits on your amalgamation.
- No going past 99% of light-speed
- No time manipulation
- No complete/inherent invulnerability
- No inherent immortality (Characters who are banned from death's domain, destined to live, etc)
- Regeneration within reason. Your character can not be functionally immortal due to an extremely powerful regeneration. (Ie. Survive being turned into go, completely destroyed, etc)
- No body-swapping; as I feel this goes against the purpose of an amalgam tourney.
- Changes made to the tier list after this date will not count towards the tourney.
- Telepathy/TK that is learned will fall under mind. “Gifted” will fall under Powers.
- Magic will fall into the mind-category assuming it does not rely on a original character's body.

Step 3; Personalize it
Look at the characters you've drafted and terrible yet wonderful amalgamation of them.

Think of a name for your creation.
Find a theme song for your creation.

Step 4; Strategy Limitations
These are restrictions in which you'll be fighting

- 30 seconds prep-time
- Prep-time is strictly 30 seconds to choose your gear, nothing can be created
- The amalgamated characters' resources have been conveniently pooled
- Only basic knowledge of opponents (participants are subject to mind-wipes)
- You can not prepare spells in the prep-time
- You can only use spells shown in the comics
- No memory retention (ie, knowledge of previous fights in-tourney)
- 1 independent construction; Can not go above high-meta, must be created in-battle.
- Battleground is surrounded by an enormous forcefield, if you go through one side then you reappear at the other. Combatants are not aware of this
- No loopholes; I, the host, will decide what is within the rules and what is not
- Feats from after the draft finishes will not be eligible

Draft Information:

- Drafting starts June 27th 8:00 AM GMT+0. British standard
- Characters will be drafted one at a time
- First come first serve
- Specify what part of the amalgam you draft your character for
- If your character is rejected, you have to pick again
- You might be forced to redraft if someone makes a valid case against a character when the drafts are posted

Information of battles will arrive later, depending on the number of participants and judges. Ideally I'd like 7 days to a fight and then 3-4 days to judge.

I think four more judges and we'd be set. And any even number of participants is viable (set up mini round-robins to vie for semi-final or finals berths, for example, like the World Cup). Odd can work, it just means someone's getting lucky and sitting at some point while others fight, or that one of the mini-groups will have one more.

I'm also one of the confirmed participant digi, already contacted curryman for it. Just so there's no mixed up.

Thanks.

isn't abhi on a current forced vaction....? will he be back?

Hey all

I'm going to pull out of judging. KMC has recently become way more stress than an internet forum should be, so for the time being, I don't think I can invest much more into it than maybe trolling the versus forum or whatever. The rest of it has just stopped being fun and I can probably spend my time doing something more constructive.

Sorry to throw a wrench in things.

lol, indeed.

Nobody else bail, k?

*waits for implosion*

I'd compete, but i hate amalgams. Judging is better for me imo.

Okay, I get it now. I can't pick anyone who isn't on the tier list.

Any chance of putting Qubit on there? 😈

I really want a teleporter...

I'm in...nothing else pressing to do this month. lol. The month just started to!

Technically nobody quit wasn't in the line up anyway.

@Chipguy_okay - pm Curryman. Had to do it when I joined.

Yeah, we're ok. We'll be fine on entrants, and we just need a few more judges. Keep the faith!

Tourneys last longer than a month.

They don't need to be on the tier list, but they need to meet all criteria of the tourney's rules and power limitations, and be a comic character.

You might not want to mention your interests in public threads. If others weren't planning for a teleporter, they may be now.

Who the hell is Qubit?

Welcome aboard.

Got the invite, this looks really fun. Hmmm, I have to think about it.

Ambient and Oliver, shame to see you guys go.

Fortunately it seems like I can welcome Chipguy and Jitay 🙂

Chipguy, make sure to PM me or a judge if you want to check the viability of picks. Wouldn't want to reveal your precious strategy now would you? 😄

Due to unfamiliarity with the Meta tier (he initially thought it was a herald tourney), Damborgson has requested that we move him from participant to judge 🙂

Still have 9. Would love to get 12. Those list of maybes need to step up (or Rage).

Drafts Saturday. I'm drafting Batman. Prepare yourselves.

😐

are we doing ALL the drafts saturday? or is it supposed to be just the body? PLEASE don't tell me we're going to do just one draft a week. even though i'll not be here, i'd much rather get all the drafting done in one day instead of dragging it out. be awesome if we could get the tourney started next week......
