General Tourney Discussion

So it's been a while since we had an official tournament. I DON'T want to run it, but right now while school is out, I'm more than willing to start us up and headed in the right direction.

Here's what we know...

1. A roughly "Iron Man limit" seemed to be the consensus during early talks.

2. Voting will have to be much different...probably a set number of judges (2 or 4) and then the "popular vote" (random voters on the thread) acts as a tie-breaker if the judges are split.

3. 16 will have to be the limit again...any more and it's unwieldly and time-consuming.

4. No amalgams this time around...for obvious reasons of play-balance (and for a change of pace from the last 2). Team format.

5. No more "PM drafting"...it sucks for whoever is running it.

Here's what we need...

1. Ideas and interest in doing this.

2. Draft number (probably 3...any more and it would take forever).

3. Specific limits (energy, strength, powers, etc.)

4. Someone who feels like running it...since I won't. It might be possible to run it AND participate in it, and I can help with random stuff if necessary so that can happen. But about mid-January I'll be back to just mod-duties and not much posting (it's going to be a busy semester) so I won't be around for long.

..Ready? Go! 😛

-DM

EDIT sry....nah i dont wanna be a part of this....

I'd be happy to be a judge, but I'm sitting out of tournements for a bit.

can i be a judge?

Can't decide between Judge or contestant got some cool ideas for a team but it could be fun to judge.

Hmmmmmmmm

Judge right here

got a "bridesmaid" complex now, have you

Judge!

The interest is appreciated and welcome, but nothing in this thread is set in stone yet. LP..(or Arabian Knight, I guess)...you said you might not want to be in it. But you're also very familiar with these tourneys. Director-ship??

I would imagine it would be possible to be a judge and also participate...we'd just have to rotate judges occasionally. But if someone just wants to be one or the other that's fine too.

...at this point discussion on power levels would be the main concern. I'll gauge the consensus and help things along, but since I won't really be a part of this I don't want to decide things on my own.

-DM 🙂

Lets fight, im in.

I'd direct it... I don't really wanna pull an Evangel and have everything go way longer than it should. If anyone wants to co-moderate it, I'm perfectly willing. I'm just kind of afraid that I'm not on here enough...

As to power levels... We're shooting for Iron Man type guys? Tony would probably then be a good place to start for energy projection, at least. Strength should probably be low class 100ish (slightly stronger than Iron Man... I'm thinking Thing range and lower). For speed... Mach 10? Maybe a little less. Telepathic shutdowns are still a no no. I have no problems with illusion casting. TK is probably fine to a certain extent. Matter manipulation's probably not happening. What else... Bah, I'll think of it later.

3 people?

How about Current Juggernaut,Cannonball & Blink?

Huh?

aren't you suppose to pick people for the tourney?

I would like to be in it

It's not decided yet what kind of tournament this is.

How about a Gorilla Warfare Tournment Three vs Three in a Jungle no prep.

Maybe a three on three paint ball match
