Rumbles Wars: Registration Thread

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Thanks Cleric

Did an Iron Man 3 article last night. 25000 hits so far! Hoping to get some paid work eventually.

This competition not take your fancy?

I've actually been considering it. Wasn't sure registration was still open.

Well it certainly is.

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

Well it certainly is.

Ehh, why not. I'll throw my hat into the ring. Seems like it could be fun.

Good stuff!

Now it's closed, given that you make it a nice round 12!

Cool. Thanks man.

UPDATE:

Note some changes have been made.

The teams will be setup as follows:

Leader: No more powerful than Spider-Man. Spider-Man must be able to beat them in a fight.
Genius: No more intelligent/better at prep than Tony Stark and no more powerful than Captain America. Captain America must be able to beat them in a fight. Must choose someone with their standard equipment, as they would be in Khazan, so choosing Tony Stark sans armour is not allowed, for example.
Doctor: No more powerful than Dumbledore. Dumbledore must be able to beat them in a fight.
Mage: No more powerful than Willow Rosenberg (including Dark Willow feats). Willow must be able to beat them in a fight.
Bruiser/Brick: No more intelligent than Abomination (just want a brutish grunt here), no more powerful than Rhino. Rhino must be able to beat them in a fight.
Robot/Machine: No more powerful than Cyborg. Cyborg must be able to beat them in a fight.
Animal: No more powerful than a Champion level Digimon e.g. Greymon. Greymon must be able to beat them in a fight.
Main Vehicle: No more powerful than a Spielberg War of the Worlds Tripod.
Pilot of Main Vehicle: No more powerful than Captain America. Captain America must be able to beat them in a fight.
Fleet: No more powerful than the Thundertank. Note, fleet gets generic, nameless pilots/drivers who are skilled and proficient at their job, but no more useful than the average Storm Trooper in combat. There will be 100 of these. Must have been at least 50 shown on screen/panel. You only get the feats of nameless examples.
Foot Soldiers: No more powerful, individually, than a T800. A T800 should be able to beat any 1 of these in a fight. There will be 200 of these. Must have been at least 50 shown on screen/panel. You only get the feats of nameless examples.
Item: You can choose one item that can be distributed to anyone in your team. The item must not make the wielder more powerful than Spider-Man. So, with this item, your chosen character must not be able to beat Spider-Man in a fight.

Strategies will be optional, but actively encouraged, as failing to send one in will almost certainly result in a loss for your army.

Looking to start the draft informally in the next couple of days, before setting a deadline for picks from the weekend onwards. Wishlists can be sent. Draft will be in order of slot. We'll work in signup order, starting with me down to Schornforce.

I'll pick my leader, then you will all follow. When we get to Cleric, he gets to pick his genius straight after and we'll work upwards, with me last and so on.

Battle scenarios will be a mix of straight up wars, no prep scenarios, prep scenarios and varied challenges.

Fights will be in character, with all members of your team fighting for the same cause. Though, it is probably advisable to pick either all heroes or all villains to prevent people from having a reason to doubt your team's dynamic. Entirely up to you, though.

Alternate versions of characters can be picked as well. So if one person chose 616 Wolverine, another could pick Hugh Jackman Wolverine etc etc.

Just bringing this to the forefront for anyone just stopping by for a quick glance.

Some important info in there.

[vycesyn]

Set and ready when it goes. Minor issue of moving into another state while this goes on but it's only a four hour drive and I have a laptop with good Wi-fi reception. Baring that I actually have a themed team this time around. Granted I'm fluxing about on the items..that depends on how well of a choice I get for a few of the other choices first and don't have to use any of my alts.

Other then that looking forward to this immensely.

I don't know Digimon, so how powerful is Greymon?

The most I can recall is that it's able to incinerate things with flames and it's a dino with horns that it uses to attack with. Power level as in comparison to other animals? That would take someone who's seen the series more to solve I'm afraid.

He's basically a big, fire-breathing T-Rex. Spits explodey fireballs, has about the strength you'd expect from a creature his size (probably comparable to two or three elephants worth of body mass), has a big horned boney plate on his head for fierce headbutting. A Greymon could certainly kick the crap out of any real life animal, even the biggest whale, but it's hardly comparable to a true Kaiju.

I'm having trouble with the 'fleet'... the only fleets that spring to mind that I've seen 50 or more on screen/panel were spacecraft that would likely be more powerful than the Thunder Tank. Are real world vehicles allowed?

They are indeed.

This here is the first ever appeareance of the critter.

There are many more showings, but it is adequate for getting a ballpark idea of how strong Greymon is.

Jebus, I couldn't find a good show clip to save my life!

Okay, so that's a bit stronger than I remember, but not by much.

This was a different Greymon, mind.

Re: T800 and mooks.

Armed T800 or unarmed T800?

Answer changes things considerably.
