Mandy's Tournament - Rules Discussion & Draft Thread

[Randy Mandy]

Crap, I have to actually start thinking of what my team should be, huh?

Was kind of expecting a draft date to be announced, rather than "ok we'll start now!"

So be it.

Weekends are inconvenient, in any case. And to be honest, I don't even have a team conceived myself. It was more of a perception of people being in a hurry.

Let's then say that draft starts Monday at 7:00 AM Eastern (12:00 GMT for Brits and Europeans).

Will inform the others of this when I send those PMs.

Hrm... I was afraid of that. Not going to be able to pick on time Monday, so rather than make everyone wait, go ahead and skip my turn, then maybe I can pick four the next time my turn comes up.

Alternatively, send me your picks (PM) for the first turn if you cannot make it.

Everyone goes before me in the first go and I'll be around, so there shouldn't be issues.

[Dalak]

Wow, glad I didn't make everyone wait for me til now. Like everyone else I had a couple of ideas but no team setup yet. I'll be planning furiously til Monday, to see if there's anything I can't do without to take advantage of first pick privileges.

Monday? Oh boy.

Thoughts: What version are being used for the street fighter characters on the list?

[Holacik]

What is the rule for voting for non-participants?

[Dalak]

What feats are available for Star Wars characters?

[Stigma Rex]

What feats are available for Star Wars characters?

We've been using EU feats in past Rumbler's leagues

[Randy Mandy]

What is the rule for voting for non-participants?

Welcome, within reason.

A reason will have to be offered for the vote and it will have to be a decent reason, with 'decent' being defined by my subjective judgement.

What feats are available for Star Wars characters?

Most of those listed are EU or insignificant, so the answer to those is self-evident.

The problematic ones are Ventress (who I think was given a value according to her Tartakovsky Clone Wars perfomance), Luke Skywalker (with his high power level and enormous array of abilities), Jacen Solo (ditto) and Galen Marek (not as many abilities, but stupidly high power levels, even without his clone's feats).

That said in for a penny, in for a pound. They get all that's theirs from the EU. However, I'll be watching like a hawk.

As someone who's not read pretty much all of EU, I wanted to know how much research I'd have to do to use a Warsie. This gives me that info, so thanks. I may be a few minutes late for the draft, but if so it'll be because nature called.

[KJ Stewart]

Confirming my availability for the draft. At no point should I be unable to check the forum today for anything more than 30-45 minutes, so I'll be around when we get underway in just over an hour.

[Randy Mandy]

Had a power outage in my area yesterday night, but everything is fine now so matters can go ahead when the time comes.

[Dalak]

I'll start things off with

Gogo (Final Fantasy 6) 6

Beta Suit w/ infinite suit energy (Timeshift) 5

[Randy Mandy]

Since he'll be away for a number of hours, Sharker sent me his first picks so that we may make some headway during his absence.

Qubit (6)
Chao Lingshen (6)

AJ Valliant goes next.

[Sharkerbob]

Ah, good, now I can post just before I go to work!

Qubit (Irredeemable) 6
Chao Lingshen (Negima!) 6


EDIT: Hah, Mandy just beat me to it, thanks! But now I have to go to work.
