I know things have cooled down some, but I'd like to take this time to remind everyone that this is just a game, and that there is no need to make comments about other drafts or this draft and board system in any negative context. That serves no purpose but to get others riled up and detracts from the overall enjoyment people can find in a game like this. At the end of the day, that's what this is. It's a game we play because we like to discuss who would win between comic book characters. There is no need to make this into a Draft vs. Draft discussion. Save that for the Draft Draft.

So, let's have fun and try to keep discussions like the one earlier out of here. Okay?

You said, "It'll take more than that to kill me," right?
Then I'll just keep killing you until you die.

Can Bastion get his Sententials...since he makes them with his powers and can Ulton get his robo thralls?


From my understanding of the rules, no. Though in a team fight Bastion could possibly turn the lesser characters of the team into Prime Sentinels, as long as something like that can be done within the 24 hours allowed for prep.

I suppose it us up to the commish though.

Yeah, no one is bringing in fully automated anythings. This is character vs character, and even though some characters use a bunch of other characters at times, they can't use those characters here.


BTW: We've discussed dice rolling, Kalar, and, once again, it was the majority that said no. This game is for the GMs, and that's what they wanted. Once again, sorry you weren't here for the discussion, and do bring up all of your ideas at the end. This one is already underway, your opinion is that those rules would help, it was the majority's opinion that they would not. Maybe you can change that next time. This is this time.

And I'm not even going to talk about CURRENT POWER, which would have had Superman missing out on a couple of drafts, and also ignores entire careers of some other people.

Bring it up in post.


P.S. sorry for hurting the Yak's feelings. I had a ton of frustration to vent last night, and I usually don't bring it on here.



P.P.S. We've got Captain Marvel headed to Drac for Captain Comet to D1.

And I guess a list update in a second.

I'm still weighing my options. Hate to make everyone wait, but I probably won't have my pick for another couple of hours. Definitely will post this evening though.

Yea... Yak already told me about the rules that got vetoed between drafts. The only thing I was criticizing really was how people take/give criticism. But as Bart said, lets not have a draft draft here... classic line... my only thing is, in the future, just as some characters have notes i.e. Hulk (no world scar) say like maybe for instance Zemo (with moonstones) as his respect thread clearly states "Respect Baron Zemo (w/ Moonstones)." Speaking of respect, lets also have respect for others here... I know I'm quick to voice my opinion, bet lets not make it personal, I know we all have "tough days" but this isn't RL for a reason.

~~~Insert lame attempt at funny here~~~

"What place is this? And who hath dared draw the Thunder God here, from the midst of battle 'gainst the foes of Asgard? Speak mortals -- for such I see ye be! Speak -- or face the wrath of Thor!"


"Green Arrow: Is that a containment suit?
Captain Atom: Mmm-hm. I'm not flesh and blood anymore, just living energy.
Green Arrow: That wouldn't be nuclear energy, would it?
Captain Atom: With a name like "Captain Atom," what do you think?
Green Arrow: [Disgusted] I think you're what I marched against back in college."



"Hey Popeye--you didn't see this one coming, did ya?!"


"Are you refusing the royal throne of Almerac? Are you refusing... *me*? "


"How dare you toy with me?!
How dare you display such contempt for my feelings--
for my very life?! I could kill you right here and now!"



"I analyze your every word, identifying subconscious speech patterns that betray your poorly hidden lust for my rock-hard robot body..."


"Thugs: Drop it, freak! Or we'll blow you away.
Mark: I wouldn't try that...I'm Invincible"

I have never disagreed with any of that. In the future is what I've been saying.

So that means you're for it, right?

Well, he's back to full power now(some would say more so), so that doesn't matter anymore.

The way we judge him here he is all but irrelevant half the time anyway. tongue

Hey EF, what was decided about Captain Comet again? Were we just going to use the current version (which is what I am assuming), or is the classic version allowed?

No worries either way, just want to be clear so I can make a decision if needed as to which version I am going to use.

Just read up on the wiki blurb about it, looks rather interesting.
