MID-HERALD TOURNAMENT DISCUSSION

Doom: shields.

But everyone knew when selecting and drafting characters that having shields up before the battle started was an option. They had a fair and eqitable chance to factor that into their choices. Changing the conditions after the draft is closed isn't fair as they may have chosen another optiin to take the that into consideration.

Theres also the time factor allowed for shields. Yes some can create shields and "uber" ones as you put it, but shileds that strong take longer than a second to build. Thats why many characters with very powerful shiled feats also have mediocre ones. By giving more time your actually increasing the advantage someone capable of shielding has.

The rules were firmly in place before anyone started drafting, everyone had the same chance to pick characters who didn't require much prep.... Or the chance to draft a speedster or something to build things quickly after the bell rings. Changing the rules after the drafts are finalised just seems weird. Maybe it can be discussed again before second round redrafts.

This

Meh. I originally asked as to me, it didn't seem firmly in place, so just wanted clarification.

FIRMLY!

Indeed!

Well, its 3v3. Dexter, Abhi and LoB have yet to decide.

Another option, looking at the draft, is that we allow it....and you three don't do anything past shields, lol.

Since we can redraft/reconsider after the 1st round, Scoob/carver/beatboks can just raise shields, if they wish. It doesn't give any of YOUR opponents any advantage, as all of you are facing each other and doing the same thing....

You can redraft if you survive a match, focus on one problem at a time.

Oh, there is no problem.

You three can stick to raising shields 😈

That's what I genuinely thought it meant, apparently others didn't agree, or hadn't considered that interpretation... I just assumed "time to raise shields" meant the actual time span, and anything [b]defensive would be within the rules as long as it didn't take more than a few seconds.

This, obviously, wouldn't cover any sort of power up, weapon creation, summons or offensive spellcasting (or other) [/B]

This seems fine, however.

Wait...we can summon things in this battle?

I'm planning on doing so.

Yep per the rules you can. You just can't summon an entire dimension.

Everyone has high hopes for you, carver.

Or when we get to fighting you, I could decide to stick with .my current drafts (which with Prep is a certain) and create an antimatter weapon before the battle begins thats so powerful it destroys everything

That one was during battle, imagine with a few seconds of actual prep.

I hope so! 👆

Would that be before or after I....oh, let's keep some mystery going!

Btw, I've PMed abhi, Decter and LoB as well, just to gain their perspectives.

Its On!

Do you mean a sig and avatar? I can do that if you want.

Decter's stance:

It should stay the same as the rules had them.

Time to raise shields, nothing else
