Rules

Power Levels (and Character Limit)

In this 2 v 2 battle each contestant is allowed 1 and only 1 High Meta character each. 1 for each person competing. Note this is not an amalgam. Each person controls 1 character.

Post Limit

Just going to stick with a 3 Post limit per team, (opening Post doesn't count in this case.), so technically 4 posts.

So to clarify the 2 teams will have 3 posts each as a team not 3 for each of the 4 taking part.

For the opening post for each team if they end up exceeding the 10,000 character limit will be allowed to extend it to another post. So if your post came to 13,000 characters you can use another post to put in the other 3000. But this only counts for the opening post and noting else.

No CIS OR PIS

Since it's the people involved taking control of the character(s).

Previous Knowledge

So of course the opponents will know of who is drafting who since it has already been made public. Which means weaknesses , history etc all apply.

Ruling on Amping

Amping is going to be disallowed on all fronts.

Creation of Tech and/or Non Autonomous Constructs/Summons

This is going to be disallowed in prep, but allowed in mid battle


Interchanging Feats

Feats cannot be used if your character is similar to another. So Green Lanterns wont share feats and same with Nate Grey (X-Man) and Cable.

Prep

Prep Time is going to work like this, each team will have approximately 1 Minute to raise shields, cloak yourself or teleport.

Telepathy

High Meta limit.

Speed

Just below Light Speed.

Banned Powers

Reality Warping, Time Manipulation, Duplication (making copies of yourself), Power Copying, Memory Retention.

Things such as Space Manipulation, Matter Manipulation can be applicable if they are at a High Meta or lower level.

Functional Immortal characters are also banned. An example of such characters like this would be Mr Immortal or characters like Lobo (although obviously he isn't in this tier).

Standard Gear Rule

Each character used in the tournament enters each battle with what he is generally known for carrying.

Non standard gear (so gear your character rarely uses, or has only ever used once) is disallowed.

BFR

BFR is banned, self BFR is only good for phasing or by accidental BFR due to your opponents tactics.


==================================================


So these are the rules for now, discussion can now be had. Any problems don't worry about letting me know. I like to run a tight ship so I like to be sure things are sorted.

DarkSaint85
Thanks, OAS, for agreeing to host this.

So we are NOT allowed to create tech, such as Iron Man with a GL ring (for example; obv not in this tier)?

And as for drafts, I assume they're public, and one team goes, then the other?

Ooops looks like I forgot to add disallowed in prep.

Tech Creation (and only tech creation) is allowed mid battle but not in prep.

I'll ask Bada to change that now.

That's if you can manage to pull of making tech mid battle.

That's one thing I am thinking about. I think Public Drafts will be okay.

DarkSaint85
Cool. Decter/Leo, feel free to name your guys - LoB and I are still deciding (narrowed down to a couple).

leonidas
let's just send them to oas and he can reveal them all at once when he has all the picks.

One_Angry_Scot
I don't mind either way what happens. As long as you all are fine with it.

leonidas
this way there is no chance at countering drafts--not that anyone would do that anyway.... shifty

sending my pick now.

DarkSaint85
Just keep a close eye on Leo, he tricksy.

Btw, am a-ok with sending them to scot.

DarkSaint85
Are we just using High Meta? Or is that the cap?

Decter
Scoob used electro who is mid meta

So I think as long as its high meta and below it should be okay

leonidas
thumb up if you want someone who is not on the list, scot can tentatively ok him and we can discuss after the picks are revealed.

btw--i think ftl is too fast for this level. just below c is the usual cap for this tier. just my opinion though.

DarkSaint85
So injustice Alfred, with super pills as standard, will be used. Excellent.

Taste my foot, losers!

leonidas
no amping fool. sneer

but saying the pick in this thread makes it real. ds has alfred. thumb up

DarkSaint85
Penguin is also up for grabs, just saying....

What does below c mean?

Just below Light Speed?

Yah. C is light speed (e=mc squared)

One_Angry_Scot
Originally posted by DarkSaint85

Ah okay, bit of a brainfart there. So used to seeing E = mc2 together I wondered what c meant. Rarely seen it referred to on it's own.

I guess that could be a good idea then.


So after this everyone is fine with all the rules then?

leonidas

DarkSaint85
I'm ok, lob hasn't been on so ill ask him

One_Angry_Scot
So I guess we can give it another 24 Hours from UK time. So 12:00 AM Thursday for the deadline?

Unless you're all 100% sure of your picks before that time.

One_Angry_Scot
How are the picks going guys?

DarkSaint85
I've Pmed LoB, just waiting on his final say, then we are good to go.

That's cool mate.

DarkSaint85
May he who dies, die well.

One_Angry_Scot
So I've just got Darksaint and LoB's draft.

Just waiting for leonidas and Decter's draft now.

Once I get there draft I will announce the team's properly.

DarkSaint85
Leo and Decter, always holding things up ...

leonidas
just sent mine in, just waiting dec.

Decter
Sent my draft

DarkSaint85

One_Angry_Scot
So the drafts are,

Team Lord of Brooklyn and DarkSaint85

Fantomex (DarkSaint85)

Eric Masterson (Lord of Brooklyn)

Team leonidas and Decter

Mandarins Rings with Mandarin as Host (leonidas)

Machine Man (Sentinel/Nanite) (Decter)

One_Angry_Scot
So about starting this BZ.

Darksaint is unable to start until Sunday because he is busy up until then. So I would ideally like to start this match between Sunday 20th to Wednesday 23rd.

How does this sound to everyone else?

Decter
Sounds perfect actually

But I would increase the ending date

One_Angry_Scot
Originally posted by Decter

Oh that Wednesday 23rd isn't the ending date of the BZ or anything.

It's just a timeframe of when the Battlezone could start from.

Whatever date the BZ starts at I could propose a 10 day starting from that date for the deadline.

leonidas
could be a little tough extending through the holidays but we can adapt to it and make it longer if we need to.....

Originally posted by leonidas

Yeah if we need to I see no problem. I just like to get numbers out there you know. Just so we have a rough idea on these things.

How do you feel about starting on a date between the 20th - 23rd?

leonidas
that's fine by me. thumb up

Decter
I agree with Leo

Now all we need is Darksaints and LoBs opinions on it

DarkSaint85
Oh, sorry.

I'm good with the start date. As I said to OAS, I can start on the 20th, but I don't know about LoB.

One_Angry_Scot
So I was I'm gonna put up the thread on the Monday the 20th.

Gives everyone time to enjoy their weekend first.

DarkSaint85

leonidas
should be fine.

If Digi and I had gotten our acts together enough for that match you might rethink that (possibly)

Originally posted by One_Angry_Scot

Masterson? As a human? as Thunderstrike?.... as Thor?

Yes.

leonidas
i assume standard starting distances (500m) and a typical BF? empty city maybe? barren rocky planet? what were you thinking oas?

One_Angry_Scot
Originally posted by leonidas

Yeah 500m apart.

I was thinking for an arena we could go with something like Mars (basically like you said a barren rocky planet) , so nobody has an advantage or anything to exploit. Makes for an even battlefield.

==================================================


Also I made a mistake on my post at the top of this page.

Meant I was going to start on Monday the 21st not the 20th, apologies.

leonidas
cool, that should be fine. we can all breathe normally of course...

One_Angry_Scot
Originally posted by leonidas

Haha yeah of course mate.

One_Angry_Scot
So I'm about ready to start. I've received Darksaint and LoB's Opening Post. But waiting for the Opening Post of leonidas and Decter.

As soon as I get the other post I will start. Although depending on when the draft is sent it may be a time after 15:15 (UK Time) that the match starts as I will be at the dentists to have a filling.

leonidas
will send mine in in a couple hours, give or take. thumb up

DarkSaint85
Tsk. I have muzzled the beast known as LoB, just because I wanted to go easy on you two.

The wolf is now loose.

One_Angry_Scot
Got both OP's now. But I'm in Dentists right now so ill put the thread up when I'm out.

leonidas
those changes work fine for me if everyone is ok with them. thumb up

One_Angry_Scot
Originally posted by leonidas

Okay cool, I'll PM the others and see what they think.

Decter
So just so I understand, me and LoB will be sending OPs to OAS ?

One_Angry_Scot
Originally posted by Decter

Yep, correct. The only other change that will occur is that since LoB and Darksaint's post was already merged Darksaint's post will change slightly, since it contains work from LoB in it.

Just waiting for clarification from LoB if he is okay with the rules at the moment.

Can I count you among the people who would agree to these new rules Decter?

Decter
I agree to the new rules.

leonidas
so we're just waiting for dec and lob to send in their op's...?

One_Angry_Scot
Originally posted by leonidas

Yep. Decter is on board and I've received no PM from LoB yet as to whether he agrees with the rules.

Decter
I was waiting on LoBs say in on this.

But I'll go ahead and try to sumbit an opening by tonight just in case

Decter
My OP has been sent

One_Angry_Scot
I'm gonna get the thread restarted tomorrow guys, really tired today and full of Christmas Dinner.

Can hardly move.

DarkSaint85
Ha no worries, leo PMd me, apparently in the interests of Christmas I'm getting a free shot at him.

So the battle thread is up. Was 18 minutes late in posting it so really sorry for that.

Also sorry for the mess up with LoB's OP.

It's copied in it's entirety but I can't edit it. But I've put a note in the thread itself so it's known whose OP it is.

Thanks everyone.

DarkSaint85
Decter, Leo, you guys go next I guess!

leonidas
yeah, prolly tomorrow or the next day ii'll throw something together. seems everything lost steam over the holidays...

Decter
I'll have my next post in a couple of days.

Even though Christmas is over I'm still gonna be busy till New Years ends to

One_Angry_Scot
Don't forget it's you 2 working together to do a single post though (unless that's what you meant).

leonidas
uh, yeah, that was what we meant, right dec...? confused

Decter
Originally posted by leonidas

One_Angry_Scot
Ah okay that's cool Decter.

Hope you're all enjoying yourselves at the moment. No rush on the posts or anything.

I declare myself the winner of this championship. I claim the High Meta belt.

One_Angry_Scot
Originally posted by Decter

Since I wasn't sent the combined post from LoB and DarkSaint a subclause triggers which gives me a free winners medal. Along with all the benefits that come with it. Of course DarkSaint and LoB could change that if they return within 24 Hours.

Otherwise they will be henceforth obliterated.

Decter
I've seen DS around. But I have no clue where LoB is

leonidas
either one of you can have it. i'll come find you when i get time. big grin

DarkSaint85
I've been around, but I can't find LoB sad

LordofBrooklyn
THE MIGHTY LOB IS ALWAYS PRESENT

Decter
It's yours and DS's turn "mighty" LoB big grin

Decter
I'm honestly sad this never finished sad
