did no one pick up on that? as I recall our amalgams get the base of their mond character. Question has been " based " out of three different cities in his three last apprarances and completely nomad.

surely I'm not the only one who considered loop holes like that

Just keep an eye on other matches as the tourney unfolds. I don't necessarily think everything PG is saying should be considered either, but the rules were fairly clear on this. And it's not like every New York-based hero has access to both the Baxter Building and Avengers Tower.

There are other, similar, examples, but when in doubt you should at least check with curry on things before you roll them out. It will help you avoid this kind of situation in the future.

They decided by poll, old system that was used in a couple of tournaments there. Set judges are KMC invention as far as I know, not practiced at CBR and Comicvine.
But teams may end up looking very crazy. As I've said, potential for fangirlism galore if I ever decided to participate.

A peek at how this League finals looked like.

Man, those teams are absurd. I don't think I have words for it...

Chucky (1) + Sinestro Corps Ring (10), The Mask (9) & Telepathy Blocking Ear Plugs (4)
Absorbing Man (8) + Ghost's Battlesuit (4), One Ring (5), Inviso-Belt (3) & Adamantium Boots (2)
Rayne (5) + Gem Of Amara (1), Sandals of Hermes (3), She-Ra's Power Sword (9) & Tactigon (6)
Dalek Caan (6) + Zettabyte of Internet Data (1) & Genesis Ark (10) w/ Converted All Spark (4), Zodiac Key (5) & The Doctor's Severed Hand (1) & A-Team Van (1) w/ Converted All Spark (4), Zettabyte of Internet Data (1) & Tactigon (6)
Psimon (6) + Magneto Cuddly Toy (1) w/ Rat Talisman (8) & Tripod (5) w/ Motherbox (10), Converted All Spark (4) & Zettabyte of Internet Data (1)
Dracula (6) + Gem of Amara (1), Inviso-Belt (3), Medusa Mask (8), Star Brand (8) & Epic Force Great Wyrm Dragon Corpse (5) w/ Borg Nanoprobes (3)
Dr. Doom (8) + Zettabyte of Internet Data (1), One Ring (5), Wand of Watoomb (7), Cosmic Cube (10) & Star Brand (8)

..just 😂

The Doctor's severed hand, a Magneto cuddly toy, the A-Team van, the One Ring...

That isn't a comic tournament, it's the brain-vomit of half the geekdom on the internet.

All I know is that Beatboks vs PG was billed as the Thomas Hearns vs Marvin Hagler. Instead we get Floyd vs Oscar.

A total snore fest. When are the next matches? grumpy

no, not the only one, but that only means you get access to HIS bases. and what is IN them. you can't "raid" others' bases (ie--going to doom's place) for tech. and doom is above the limit anyway....

than all I have to do is change it an intergang drop in to acquire the reqired tech ( since in his guise as Psychopomp he infiltrated them and their "base" was one of his) and use the knowledge of Doom to biuld an appropriate feedback device in the battle field while PG cant find me. no real biggie. I had assumed however that since Vic has no real base per se that i would not have been limited. also every amalgam is o er the limits when you worm them properly. hell my picks were all low meta and even they are

all righty. 👆

The problem Beatbok is that your not a cleaver bastard like myself.

Body: Any
Mind: Cogliostro (image)
Powers: Spawn (Al Simmons)

Base - Tower in Hell. Oh look Leo, its the Crown of Hell!
313dur

that's hilarious: a homeless guy lives on the whole earth, right? the only loophole here is the one your neck goes through.

The match is forfeit.

People who aren't waiting for PG/Beatboks to get started, send me your writeups.

I don't have any business until August, might as well get this thing started for real now 🙂

Too bad Tjay forfeited. Want a sub?

My amalgam: Oblivion

Kang, asylum II, Darkness 😱 ..

I think your missing my point. Vic isnt based in any city. over the publications he'd been in he worked in Hub city, star city, Gotham, Chicago, Metropolis as well as international sites. he's faced intergang all over the globe and worked from several of their site's bases plus the base of Psychopomp after taking him down. He's based his operation from government offices and Professor Rodors labs. not to mention he's "walked in both worlds " so another "base" could be the world of the dead. He's got a history of working from the bases of others, so what exactly can be pinned down to being just uis base? Like I said it doesnt matter when he killed psychopomp and assumed his ID he based himself out of Intergangs onw main HQ. Since I can produce dozens of canon examples of Intergang being supplied tech by Darkseid plus Lex Luthor and a few instances when they were shown using other tch like Brainiacs ( not too many of those admittedly) I really dont see much of a problem using Dooms intellect or even just that of my adversary Stark to piece together a device to shut down the whole energy drain attack plan.

I don't buy it. Many other characters could make the same claim, and besides, even if we accept that all these places are his "base" it would make the tournament too open ended if characters are allowed multiple bases.

If it were my decision I'd tell you to pick one base and stick with it.

Doing a lot of work on this tonight. Finalizing the writeup, hopefully a signature, maybe a surprise or two. Wish me luck...

😊

does abhi even know his match is upcoming....? 😕

Writeup is sent. Video and audio are done (yes, video). Not part of the writeup, per se. Just entertainment. I think video writeups would be fun, though.

Now to get to work on my signature. It's been a while. Despite working with Photoshop a lot at work, there are different skills involved. Fingers crossed that I'm not too rusty.

Having an idea of several amps out there that people are attempting, one could very well hit paydirt and go the distance. My consolation is that, if anyone beats me, they will have had to work insanely hard for it. I'm pleased with my team, even more so than when I drafted them. Looking forward to a good tourney...

There will be no debating the matches in this any other thread.

Is that understood?

Also, I PM'd Abhi yesterday 😄

That is an absurd roster, for example.
