Hey, if you feel your current draft is not up to the task, or you're just plain scared, it's fine by me.

Abhi is usually the most chilled out guy here; Goober was such an ass for hurting him like that 👆

Makes sense why you take to Sentry so much. Question: is the portrayal of the agoraphobia anything at all like the reality (I know these things are varied to the individual but in the clinical sense) of actually having it?
*insensitive post warning*
I kinda figured the agoraphobia would help with maintaining an online presence.....

Oh don't worry it wasn't the actual situation that was putting me off. It was just the thought of judging another match with one already happening got to me that's all. With me not thinking straight I just got a bit stressed out.

Yeah it helps me to see someone with the same problems as me. I mean I'm actually diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder as well.
I'd say the Sentry exhibits a clinically accurate Agoraphobia for the most part. Although like you mentioned it does vary. That's one thing I think Bendis (and some of the writers that had written the Sentry) for the most part captured the Agoraphobia very well. If you were to knock Bendis for anything I don't think it'd be for how he went with this.
I mean people lost their s*** over Sentry crying and running away from battle. That is something common with Agoraphobic's. If they're in distress the first reaction is to escape the situation there in. And the crying comes from what I imagine as being his weak mental state. I've done the same thing with being in tears and running back home a lot of times. One time I did it on the way to school. Everything just became too much and I got home as fast as I could. In short I think although that aspect of Sentry's character isn't appealing that is what can happen in a lot of cases.
You can tell Bendis done some research and implemented it. I could go on for pages and pages about this but it'd be very long.

As the People's Battlezone champion I am responsible for keeping them entertained. A new amalgam would bring a twist, however, it doesn't alter the fact you will lose.

No its not allowed. And it’s the debators job to call out BS on it.
The only character that can make use of all its history is if they fulfill the following.
A) The back history was not changed.
B) The level of power was not changed.
Soranik Natu is a perfect example of a character that fulfills category A, and B.
well, ok, so now we know the final 4: me, boks, abhi and scoob. who's going against who, and when does our 5 days start? i assume we can switch picks over the course of those 5 days as we think of new and better combos? you'll just tell us if a pick is off the table? so will we know the amalgam we will be facing before the match begins? will be be making a list of characters in the thread as they are drafted or as i said, just tell us via pm that someone is off the table? (we won't know if someone has decided to redraft, so if i wanted animal man, you'd just say...he's been selected or something...?)

This Monday the 175th at 8 a.m.
The 17th? 😂 Not sure what calendar the 175th is.
Beat - I'm pretty sure ID is only a an hour away from my time (the drafts were central time correct?).
If it's actually central time, it should be 1 day 16 hours 16 minutes from now. If it was Pacific time, add another hour.
