Are there any rules on how powerful a competing character may be?

I would consider Shadowveil a bit too powerful, but I don't want to send in Sekhmet just to see her get burned to a crisp.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but it's something that I've forgotten and it's probably a question that a few other people will want to ask:

May a person only compete in either the individual tournament or the team tournament, or are they able to compete in both?

If memory serves, contestants can compete in both. This was decided due to the fact that we thought we wouldn't get enough people for the teams. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I'm a bit confused with rule 9 and it's clarification.


Quote:
9. Multiple characters are allowed, provided none of them break rule 1 or cause a similar effect to rule 1 (Example, having an army of characters that sacrifice themselves so a competetor is never hit).

Quote:
Rule 9 as it is written was for the individual tournement, I'm writing up a modified set of rules for the team tournement today.

You are allowed to have four character's per team, as to keep it even among all teams,

however, in the individual tournement, your allowed to have mutliple character's enter, but they must compete on their own, i.e. you can't have Whiteoak and Obed go in together for the individual tournament.(for example)


It was my understanding that the rule meant you could have multiple characters fighting in a tourney as long as they didn't result in an immortal foe/broken rule. The single/team tourneys are called that because it's a single RolePlayer or a team of Roleplayers, right?

From what I got this rule clarified you could have two characters in a type of tag-team if you wanted (like the Holloweyes/Little Sister team), pull out your army (such as Dani's armidillos), or even bring out your familiar (again with Dani as an example-she often uses her dragons). These extra character facets are an intergral part of some people's style and character. For instance, an entry for every armidillo? Not likely.

True the Tournament is meant to test the strength of the person, not the character, I think it would be giving some people too much of a crutch to allow them to tag team in member's of their arsenal.

Let's take Danikat for example. Is it fair to allow her to bring in one of her dragons if her Danikat get's injured to grant her time to heal herself? Or is it just part of the game.

I"m leaning towards making it a case by case basis. Like with Whiteoak and Obed, both of them can take a pretty good stand by themselves, without any assistance from the others. But Danikat (the character) has a closer bond with her dragons, and if Katy was to keep it real, not having her dragons would affect the character.

I suppose the real question to answer is this: Are we testing the strength of the Character, or the Person. Considering the goal is to test the strength of the person, I think I might have to allow tag team entries. However, I'd like to discuss this further.

Will Tag Team be allowed? I wanted to enter Sora's latest partners with him but I'm not sure if I can.

We're discussing that in the judges booth. When we have a decision, we'll let you know.

Maybe a separate tag team tournament should be set up...

Now that would be interesting.

Would like to see that happen. Either two characters per person, or two people per tag team....

What does everyone think? Then you'd have a separate individual and tag team event.....

Not a bad idea, actually.

A tag team tournament would be great! I like the sounds of this!

Ah, I just remembered that I have another question - has anyone actually mentioned this to the people at Gameware yet?

I have a question too...

Quote:
At the center of the arena sits a circular box, which overlooks the three arena's of combat. This is where the judges sit, and use their H.U.Ds to tell statistics of the battle.


How the hell do you have a circular box?!

Perhaps the noun he was searching for was 'booth', as opposed to 'box'?
