Sorry About The Mess: A PvP Tournament

Wish i knew that earlier

Everyone entered with a complete character sheet. The idea is that you start play with the same equipment for every match—if something is broken, it is hand-waved as "fixed." Otherwise we get into really complex trading, selling, and repairing rules. And allowing players to custom-fit for each match trends way too meta. You could just look over your opponent's sheet, go "oh they have X weapons, so I'll get Y armor," but now they see that you switched so they ditch their X weapons for some Z weapons, and now you've run out of letters in the alphabet.

Too messy.

No i get it. I just didn't know so i planned differently then i would have. I'd have created an accurate saber side defense don't stack and i wouldn't have picked up quickflash I'd of both a magnetic tether but ah well

Hi Guys, I am this week on vacation, I'll try to sty in touch, but please notice that it may take a little longer for me to response (will try to be only at least once a day... depending on Net-access)

A reminder for everybody whose match is already over THIS is the last time to spend your EXP before the finals

(there won't be any EXP given out in the finals!)

So make sure to spend everything

I'll now buy the coordinated Dogde talent and one rank of Grit with my 30 EXP ^^

Hello all. I'm feeling pretty unwell again and depending on when finals and such take place I may have to miss a match or most that are left. I wouldn't want to drop Arissa out and mess up the rounds so if there's any volunteer that would take over incase I'm unable that would be cool. Cheers.

Nobody?

I'm feeling pretty wiped too :) I'm able to keep playing, dunno about running Arissa though. She's a really cool character, honestly, and I don't know if I could do her any justice.

My RL has been way too busy and just playing Arrther has been difficult enough, I would love to offer but won’t.

I must appolgise for my slowness, this week has wreaked **** with my concentration, but I will make a start on ending my battle today. For the first time, I will do exactly what I intended with my sig ability

*Trademarked Evil British Laugh*

In regards to @SithArissa: I might be able to pull it off. Just let me know via PM when you want to take the control back. Though obviously if Tanson and her get into a bracket; someone else wold have to control her.

@SithArissa no problem:

@LordBritish will take care of Arrisa if you can't yourself (But please invest all remaining EXP, if not done yet, by yourself befor the finals)

In the Case of an Rematch between Tanson and Arissa I'll take controll of Arissa (as long as you can't)

Finally I hope you will get well soon (Gute Besserung!! )

Thanks @LordBritishi think the finals are after your match ends. I'll post here again if I need you to run Arissa.

For xp I only have 5 and nearly nothing to spend it on thats useful. A yellow in discipline I guess.

Cool. ^^ I will likely aim to conclude my round tomorrow. I'm not really feeling the creative spirit tonight.

Think i'll be ok to do my round thank you @LordBritish

So how exactly will we be moving forward once this last heat is done @Richardbuxton?

Ahhh that's great to hear. ^^ Glad you are feeling better.

I am hoping not to be too much longer. I must admit I only just noticed that the dice roller doesn't accurate reflect the side of the some of the faces; this was probably of minimum impact in prior rounds, I could only shift one face and for two of those rounds my ability never came into play, but it does seem like unmatched fortune is a touch fiddly to use in a competitive setting using the current system.

I have to dig up my notes but basically it’s an elimination system:

1: Round of 8 with the winners progressing to the round of 4.

2: Round of four with winners progressing to the grand finale

3: grand finale with the winner crowned champion

Adding:

The Battle place will be determine by your total rank in Scoreboard due to the heat-results:
In the case of equal poinst between two or more competitors the final rank will be determined by the Players starting seat. (e.g. BULK and Pango have both 4 points, Bulk has starting Seat 1 and Pango staring Seat 8 - while both are on the first place Bulk will start in "A" as "1st" and Pango in "B" as "2nd")

A: 1st vs. 8th
B: 2nd vs. 7th
C: 3rd vs. 6th
D: 4th vs. 5th

A vs. B
C vs. D

Grand Finale
Winner vs. Winner

Three times Revenge MODE ON!

The Rules stay mostly the same as before, BUT there will be NO MORE XP - So get sure you spend all your XP before you went into Battle!

If you want to try anything social on your battles without an appropiate talent your enemy can decide if he even will listen to you! you may ask him before that (this is PvP Battle tournament after all ^^)

Oh and for the purpose of the setting of the battles I'll roll lower dice. To accelerate the starting phase I'll also roll who will use the White DP.

Location = D25
Range = D3 (1= short / 2= Medium / 3= Long)
Initative = D2 (1= Cool / 2= Vigilance)
Destiny = D2 (1= Player 1 gets White / 2= Player 2 get White)

I'll set up the stages within the next hours, once your stage is set you may beginn!


LET'S get Ready to RUMBLE.... and slashing... and shooting... and blasting, burning, exploding ... you get the gist I guess ^^

Good Luck to everyone! May the force be with you!

All done, you may start any time ^^

I have 10 exp that I intend to spend when I have time to check my character sheets. ^^

A: 1st vs. 8th = @Nightone with The Bulk vs. @Imperial Stormtrooper with Omega "A Green Menace" - Bulk got blasted by OMEGA
B: 2nd vs. 7th = @awayputurwpn with Grrwalryyhl vs. @TheShard with Drez'n the Green Knight "Attack of the Furrys " - still ongoing
C: 3rd vs. 6th = @SavageBob with Pango vs. @Richardbuxton with Arrther "Revenge of the Droid!" - PANGOS double blast power was to much for Arther
D: 4th vs. 5th = @SithArissa with Arissa vs. @LordBritish with Tanson Stryder "A new Wrath!" - Unfortunatly for Arissa, TANSONS Unmatched Fortune was to much for her.

Thermal detonators pack a punch apparently.

What Bulk has fallen? Sweet lord I was looking forward/positively dreading that rematch!

Well, I guess that's my biggest threat removed; I find it very difficult to deal with tanky characters like that.

Learning what I learned from playing Grrawlryyhl, I would make a small tweak that would make me a lot more effective against tanks. As it is, best I can do is try and whittle them down bit by bit :)

I would give the advice to not think "everyones gonna be a jedi, I wont need ranged defense!" Sigh.
