i just didn't think either of us would be able to survive the irony of me beating you down with kang. 👆

and yeah, i think spectrum could fit at either low or mid herald.

Damborg, Smurph, you there?

Just logged on. Picking now..

you know, i was thinking--would it be better to make our 7 picks and reveal them all at once? we we made the same picks that would be fine. if we all try and pick different characters, won't that sort of dilute our pools? i could easily repick and hide the picks until we all declare them, or send them to me or phil to reveal if anyone thinks it's a good idea.

MH: Magneto, Cable, Manchester Black, Sersi, Supergirl, Invincible, Black Bolt

LH: Animal Man, Exodus, Magik, Raven, Super Skrull, Superboy, Vision

HM:Captain Cold, Miss Martian, Vixen, Sand, Quake, Emma Frost, Iron Man

There was a bit of overlap between who I would have picked and who you and Box had already picked but it forced me to go outside the box a bit, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I guess it depends if you want a broader pool or not.

lol knew you'd take sand.... and i'm fine either way.

lol, you know me too well.

And so far it’s a pretty weird cast of characters. Looking forward to somebody drafting a team of Godzilla and Mirror Master.

😂 a dream pairing. 👆

Yeah! I'll put up my choices later today !

They cannot overlap with others choices right?

yeah, i think that's the stance we're taking, but i'm still a little unclear on a couple things.

if borg and i matched up, one gets first pick, correct? say borg picks a mh. do i HAVE to choose 2 lh's or 3 hm's? can i choose a mh to go against him? can i choose 2 hm's + 1 lh? and we get to pick who we want, is that right? or is it random--ie--borg randomly gets a mh, then i randomly get 2 lh's and if the match is no good we re-roll and hope for a better match?

guess i'm still a little hazy on the rules. and am i the only one who finds it suspicious that phil and ds are BOTH away at the same time...? no doubt taking a couple days in a hotel working on draft strategies. sneer

Pfft. Your suspicions are unfounded.

We live together, no hotel needed.

Edit: I thought it's randomised whether we get a lh/mh etc.

yep, they cannot overlap. distinct 7 chars for each poster.

whether you get mh, lh or hm will be randomized. some may land a mh vs 3 hm, others 2lh vs 3 hm etc.

the characters will be randomly picked from the pool of everybody's choices for each of the 3 tiers.

ok, so ALL the picks go into the hopper--we don't just get someone from our 7 picks. 👆

Since this does not exist in the tiers as far as I see, can you replace it with somebody that is there?

You don't think Dr Spectrum would be a mid herald? Its the tier all your general GLs are in and that's basically what he is. Put Wildfire in instead, that is the energy form Legionare right?

The truest Kang fan was leo all along

I'm still deciding on whether I should poison the well and put a bunch of bricks within my picks.
