ARENA GAMES: General Discussion (Season 3)

Lord Commissioner, I have two team ideas, but I'll need to know what the draft categories are before I can decide which (if either) of them I can likely make work. So I need to hold off on committing to a keeper and to any preseason point expenditures until I can see the categories (and, ideally, the draft order).

 

I apologize for my part in holding things up, guys.

So, it has come to this.

 

(I was actually at trivia last night or I would have done more myself.)

 

Ok, here's the draft order thus far:

 

1  Foreign Orchid

2  Psybolt

3  Enforcer84

4  SKJAM!

5  Pariah

6  Steve

7  bigbywolfe

8  Lady Pariah

 

I posted a few of the draft round themes above, but I'll get the rest nailed down and post them soon.

Thank you, Lord Commissioner. PM sent.

 

Now it's up to the rest of you slackers. Get on it, people!  :whip:

Ok, here are your draft rounds and point bonuses. You'll notice a few changes, including what will probably be a lower starting point total all around. We proved our ability to diversify, I think, so women no longer get a special bonus. They do get their own round, though.

 

BONUS POINTS

Drafting 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 value. They are cumulative.

  • +2 points if the pick is selected within 12 hours (Still have 24 hours to pick)

  • +2 point if character cannot speak

  • +1 point if the character wears a costume in super ID

  • +1 point for codename

  • +1 for current criminals

  • +2 point if the character has never starred in an ongoing book, either solo or team

    • Does not apply to characters with fewer than six appearances.


Draft Themes:


  1. Round 1 -- Open [Catch up]

    1. +2 if Marvel or DC

    2. +1 if character never fought in the arena before

  2. Round 1 -- Open [Two keeper teams skip this]

    1. +3 if your team has a name

    2. +2 if Marvel or DC

    3. +1 if I like you

  3. Round 3 -- Girl Power! [women only]

    1. +1 if name is not a derivative of a male character

    2. +1 if character is not a martial artist

    3. +2-4 if character is not a supermodel

  4. Round 4 -- Youth Movement [19 or younger]

    1. +1 if never a sidekick

    2. +1 if under 10

  5. Round 5 -- 80s Night [first appearance ‘80-’89]

    1. +1 if fad or trend based powers/theme

    2. +1 if no ninjutsu training

    3. +1 if not a mutant

  6. Round 6 -- No Powers, No Problem [up to super spy/super soldier powers]

    1. +2 if totally mundane (real world, can buy it in a store stuff only)

    2. +1 if no equipment used

  7. Round 7 -- Color of Victory

    1. +1 if the color is not green

    2. +1 if the color is also not red, blue, black, or white

    3. +1 if the character was created after 1986

  8. Round 8 -- Indy Festival [no Marvel or DC]

    1. +1 if appeared before 1992

    2. +1 if not Marvel, DC, or Image

 

Questions aplenty I'm sure, so fire away!

Ladies and gentlemen, we're ready to begin!

 

Foreign Orchid is the only one without a keeper, so he'll go first and be the entire round 1.

 

In round two, Foreign Orchid is, coincidentally, first, so he can make two open picks in a row!

 

Round two order:

  1. Foreign Orchid
  2. Psybolt
  3. Enforcer84
  4. SKJAM!
  5. Steve
  6. bigbywolfe
  7. Lady Pariah
  8. Pariah

 

Psybolt and Enforcer84 both have two keepers, so they won't select in round two. This means SKJAM is after Foreign Orchid.

 

Orchid, the stage is yours :hex:

I don't think a list of keepers has been officially published. I know, for example, that I haven't told anyone but the Commissioner that I'm keeping Carol. And I don't think anyone but the Commissioner and I know who Lady Pariah is keeping.

Cap. America    

She-Hulk

Big Barda

Mister Miracle

Ant-Man    

Power Girl

The Thing

Thor    

Carol Danvers

 

That's a pretty impressive group. I'd take that team against any hostile force in any universe, including Galactus, Thanos, Darkseid, and/or the entire Red Lantern Corps.

They aren't, I'm sorry.

So I spent 30 points to keep She-Hulk in the 2nd round, get no extra points because of it instead of getting 25% of those 30 points, plus whatever points I picked up for the draft.  And I could have had the third pick overall.  Now I have to wait for the end of the third round because of the snake version of the draft?

 

Great start.

Since the first pick hasn't been made, I'll let you throw her back in the pool and take your chances that She-Hulk stays around. Same goes for Enforcer84 (except with Mr Miracle, obviously).

 

If you both choose to send them back into the pool, I'm going to randomly sort the draft rounds and move the open round to the final round as it was before.
