NOTE: Could people immediately add new items into their team profile posts upon making a purchase? Thanks.

Use this thread to buy items to use in time for Week 11.

Current credits here (if it hasn't been updated, I'm sure you can work out what credits you would have).

Teams will be expected to make purchases 24 hours after their matches, otherwise they won't be valid.

New note: For the second half of the season, points will be deducted if profiles aren't updated 24 hours after a purchase is made.

Don't say you weren't warned!

Thanks for drawing my attention to that, it seems I had Zelda's Monkey Talisman incorrectly linked as Snake. (had the right link though.)

I'm going to fix that and buy another Snake Talisman 3 for Batduck. to help his "dark creature of the night" noir approach to things. Kay?

WyldCard4 · 11-11-2009, 01:35 PM

Any problems with my team profiles, or are they good?

You list "The Mask" twice for Manchester Black.

Joan taylor's Links are (as usual) useless.

That's all I saw in a cursorary sweep.

I thought I mentioned Google Books now?

And yeah, nothing helpful for Taylor has been found outside of Google Books.

WyldCard4 · 11-12-2009, 09:06 PM

Either way it goes, I should get something this week...

I just have absolutely no idea what.

OK I should probably get a Cosmic Cube or Infinity Gem, but I don't really like either of them, and the main reason to do so *coughDoomcough* will probably be argued to be better anyway.

My own thoughts, because I am bored, about the ten point items currently available:

Acme Home Shopping Catalog and Unlimited Expense Account (Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons)
Kind of interesting, but I couldn't use it properly, not enough watching. Besides I'm kind of worried about time delays.

Archemus' Staff (Crossgen)
Also kind of interesting, but it would pretty much be endless copying Estrecca if I bought it, and I doubt it would really add much.

Atom's Bio-Belt (DC)
Why is that a ten? What is it, anyway?

Black Hand's Power Rod (DC)
Doesn't really seem that useful. Drains GL Rings and has the same powers, neither of which strike me as must haves.

Black Lantern Ring (DC)
No thank you, my people are alive or N/A.

Blue Lantern Ring (DC)
I'd need a Green Ring before considering it, and nobody on my team is exactly full of hope.

Green Lantern Ring (DC)
No real interest. I've got enough energy manipulation/magic in my arsenal already.

Indigo Lantern Ring (DC)
Just weird for any of my people. Might be useful, but still weird.

Orange Lantern Ring
Could be cool, especially for Henshaw, but I'd rather see how good the Bands go on their own. Maybe for Immortus, but I'd have to check his personality more, not sure if he qualifies compared to Shake or Bender. Still a very neat item. This needs consideration.

Red Lantern Ring
I see absolutely no value in the Red Lantern Ring. Absolutely nothing about this interests me in the slightest. Everything it offers is found better and elsewhere, and the Rage removes control without Mask level gain.

Sinestro Corps Ring
Pretty much the same story as the GL Ring. Only person I'd like giving it to would be Joan. A fear user, but not sure if she could really use it properly. Another thing to consider on the outside of possibility.

Violet Lantern Ring
What is this "love" you speak of?

Cosmic Cube (Marvel)
1. I just don't like the item or think it should be in the League. I'm not at the voting against it level or anything, I just don't like it.
2. I don't think it would really help me that much. My team members are pretty focused and useful, I'd come pretty close to losing a member if I gave it to anyone besides Henshaw, with his multitasking mind. Possible, but unlikely.

Crimson Gem of Cyttorak (Marvel)
Maybe for Taylor, but not something that really appeals to me.

Destroyer Armour (Marvel)
No one remotely qualified or suitable to use it.

Duplicator Ray (DC)
I don't really know enough about the thing to use it well. Been on the list without purchase for a long time.

Easy Button (Staples commercials)
Not sure how to use it.

Ego Gem (Marvel)
What does that do again?

Mind Gem
I could see it on Immortus, maybe. I feel I'm pretty telepath'd out right now.

Power Gem (Marvel)
I've been conflicted on this one for a while. Turf problems, but giving it to Immortus would make him and the Motherbox just awesomely scary.

Reality Gem
Nope, not an item that interests me.

Soul Gem
Soul rip doesn't really interest me.

Space Gem
Not bad. Not bad at all. Not something I want right now, but perfectly fine ten point item.

Time Gem
I could give it to Immortus, but I kind of want to see how people react to the guy first. I don't want to amp before I get an idea of what people think of the guy.

Genesis Ark (Whoniverse)
Not sure why I would want an army of Daleks when I have an army of Quantum Clones and Mask Clones. If I did want a giant army of mooks I'd just get Archemus' Staff and send out the clone wave from Arion. Not denying it under the Shadow Masters, just nothing appealing to me about it.

Giant Recently Used & Lubricated Vibrating Dildo (Real World)
I'll put that in the "maybe" pile.

Gungnir (Marvel)
No idea what it is besides "Odin's Spear" so I'm not touching it first.

Helmet of Nabu
Neat, but another one that I think I don't really need. The Wand fills that spot well, and Taylor with the Helm would just be kind of weird.

Infinite Improbability Drive
I could see adding it to Henshaw, but not sure if it would be worth it, especially compared to other items of the same price.

Mjolnir
I think if any of my people tried to lift it, the Hammer would destroy the local galaxy to make sure they didn't manage it.

Mobius Chair
Meh. Cool, but nothing I really think helps me much.

Motherbox
I already have one, and it is awesome. No need for two.

Nega Bands
No thank you.

Oath Breaker
Possible, I was going to buy it when the Destroyer Armor was popular. Not right now though.

Quantum Bands
Another one I already have, and I have no complaints what so ever. Unless it turns out Henshaw isn't worthy, in which case I will be rather annoyed for a number of reasons.

Spear of Destiny
After KJS1982's experience with the thing? Not touching it. I'd like the nine JLA fighting minions, but that's not really that different from what the Bands give already, and once again there are better ways to get an army.

Symbiote, Ion
Same basic story as the GL Ring.

Just my opinion of the 10s. Spawned by a combination of my own indecision and being afraid to stop.

Not a bad buy. Goku's not the idiot most seem to think, so I'll be interested to see what you have him do with it.

Also, I think that firmly places him and Doom tied for "Worst dude to have to fight" in this League so far.

Oggy · 11-13-2009, 06:17 PM

All those items and WyldCard didn't bother to mention any of the Suikoden True Runes.

Were they 10s? He said he was only doing 10s...
