Logan D. Hurricanes Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Let's get this show on the road! Here are the round themes and points again for reference. BONUS POINTSDrafting characters will earn you bonus points depending upon whom you select. Each round will have a theme with special bonus point criteria. Here are the universal criteria and their values. They are cumulative. 3 bonus points if the pick is selected within 24 hours 3 bonus point if character is a non-speaking animal 3 bonus points if the character has never died* 1 bonus point if the character chosen is female 1 bonus point if the character chosen is non-white (does not apply to non-humans) *Death, in this case, means for a year or more of published comics. Your pick will get one of the following, if applicable. These will not apply to characters with fewer than four appearances. 3 bonus point if the character has never starred in a TEAM title 4 bonus points if the character has never starred in their own solo ONGOING title or MINISERIES 5 bonus points if the character has never starred in own solo ONGOING title or MINISERIES or TEAM title THE DRAFT ROUNDSEach round has a special them and/or rules, as well as unique ways to earn bonus points. Here is what you're looking at for the selection rounds. Completed rounds spoiled for space Round 1 - Open / Expansion This round is for those without keepers. New teams go first to get caught up. 3 points if you give your team a name 1 point if I like you Round 2 – Who da Man?Your character must have been created by Stan Lee. 2 point if the co-creator was not Kirby or Ditko 2 points if character was created before 1961 2 points if character is non-Marvel Round 3 – I Was Born This WayThese characters were born with their superhuman abilities. Aliens with superhuman abilities count. Artificial life-forms are not allowed—created is not the same as being born. 2 bonus points if the character is otherwise human (mutant or meta) 1 point if the character had their powers from birth 1 point if the character's powers are dangerous to them or their environment Round 4 – Playing Both SidesCharacters must have been both a hero and a villain at some point during their careers. Not included are mind controlled characters or misunderstandings. 2 bonus points for characters that started as heroes 2 bonus point if the character is currently a criminal Round 5 - Heavy Equipment Character's primary power is sourced from a focus, including (but not exclusive to) standard firearms and martial arts weapons. 2 bonus points if character did not create focus 3 bonus points if the focus is not unique Round 6 – The Color of VictoryCharacters must have a code-name with a color in it. 1 bonus point if the color is not green 3 bonus points if the color is also not red, blue, black, or white 2 bonus point if the character was created after 1986 Round 7 – Independence DayCharacters must have originally been published by a company other than DC or Marvel. (DC and Marvel swallowed up several smaller publishers, so they may be published by one of those currently.) 2 bonus points if the character appeared in more than one independent title 2 bonus points if the character was in a movie or TV show 5 bonus points if they're not published by Image. Round 8 – Open FinaleRound out your team with a free selection. 2 bonus points if the character was created before 1956 or after 1986 2 points if the character has a code-name and a costume Since we have a catch-up round, this is the draft order for round one only!

Bazza Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 First pick: Thor Family tradition? All right, for this round's legacy pick, the Universals select Dane Whitman, the Avenger known as the Black Knight! I'm going to guess this is the first official sniped draft pick of the Arena Games. Are you checking my browser history, or are we just on the same wavelength. ? Did Pariah give you my password to my browser history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Pariah Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Family tradition? Did Pariah give you my password to my browser history? If by "family tradition" you mean winning, then yes, it is. lol. Did I snipe you? Sorry about that! Kind of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 If by "family tradition" you mean winning, then yes, it is. lol. Did I snipe you? Sorry about that! Kind of. Family tradition meaning that last time, Pariah sniped my pick, and this time, you did. I'm sensing a trend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 It simply means that we all, the three of us, have exquisite taste in characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnStrawberry Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Well, so far this is a big-guns round, so I will go with the ultimate strong, silent type: Black Bolt! Tentative Team Name: The Knights Who Say Nietzsche I have been generally well-liked by the friendly Hero Games community (less so in real life, but who cares about that?!) PM being sent to Bazza.

CaptnStrawberry Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Any of these vs. another would be a good match! I'm starting to think there were bonus points for theme songs - or maybe just points for style?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
