epoch? that must be some game reference. you crazy kids and your games. too damn loud and they rot your brain. sneer
you DO raise a point i wanted to address though--battlefields. i can pick, or the opponents can agree on one. i like...interesting battlefields, personally, where people have a chance to be at least a little creative, but it's up to you.
characters won't know until they arrive where they will be fighting, and they arrive in random locations on opposite sides of the bf, so if you choose a smaller bf you're closer, if you choose a planet-sized bf, you're further apart.
if i don't get suggestions before wednesday, i'll post surprise bf's when i open your matches. take your fate into your own hands or leave them in mine....

GATHERING OF RULES SO FAR
ok, ima cap this at 6 people. PLEASE don't f*** anyone over by bailing out. i'm begging you. a single play-in game is no good with 6, so we will have 4 people compete in the first rd and generate 2 people with byes. the 2 winners will advance to play the 2 people with byes in the semis, then a final. i am going to pull rank and give myself a bye since i'll also be hosting and wrangling up judges. that means i'll randomly give one more person a bye and that person is...borg. thumb updraft order is as follows. first rd, the HERALD PICK (low, mid or high):
1. pg
2. mutant
3. abhi
4. borg
5. leo
6. slashsecond rd--the META pick (low, mid or high):
1. slash
2. leo
3. borg
4. abhi
5. mutant
6. pgrules are straight forward--all powers available from both picks. only prep allowed is a defensive shield. no flash, or flash-like characters allowed. other than that, post questions here. we keep this thing simple, and moving.
never done this with 6, so let's make this a good one. make your pick after the person in front of you has chosen and post here. no rush. we can institute a timeframe if it seems to be taking too long.
anyway, yes, all heralds are open and powers from both are fully amalgamated. not concerned with weaknesses (ie you could take jonnz and the human torch and not be terrified of yourself). but one power set doesn't AMP the other either--spectrum+superman=/=golden superman prime for example. all powers from both characters are usable at the levels they have been displayed in each individual.think of it as the least complicated set of rules you can think of. pick 2, merge them, fight.
other rules are as follow in most tourneys--no matter manip on opponents (though with high heralds we could perhaps forego that, thoughts?) no time travel, NO TIME MANIP, no bfr, self bfr is limited to 3 seconds if it should come up, no dupes or power copying...standard fare.
that should be more than clear enough. little details, bring them up and we will discuss, but again, this is uncomplicated.
pg-->manhunter/vector
borg-->thor/sinister
moi-->firestorm/panther
slash-->maxima/mimic
sm-->orion/hawkman
abhi-->strange/living lasergonna leave this open for one more day in case anyone has issues about any characters chosen, or any rules.
no one really answered the issue about matter manip on opponents i asked, so i'll address it more completely. no one can turn you into a turnip, but at this level manip on equipment (armor, weapons, etc) IS legal, and always has been. like this:
that is also not to say you can't affect opponents in other ways, just that wholesale turning into turnips is illegal. thumb up
no time manip was mentioned, as was no power copying or dupes. any other concerns about rules or characters voice them now or forever keep the peace.
btw--please try and peek at the thread as often as you can for changes and issues that need to be handled.
if you can create it on the bf, i'm fine with it. summons will fall under the dupes rule. the main idea is you are doing this on your own with your chosen characters. don't need strange or someone else summoning a demon army. this is a no nonsense, no shenanigans event. creativity urged, slyness...not we'll start both matches wednesday, and end them the following wednesday.
