In the Tournament guide, it says the first Tournament was the Serentii Invitational. Whatever happened the to the Tournament of Champions? That was a fun tournament.

The Tournament of Champions was primarily a collaborative tournament between Althanas, GUA, and Animeleague that caused numerous behind the scenes headaches. It also turned out that one of the winners was evidentially plagiarizing. If our numbers ever get up again, I might consider another ToC, but until then I'm content running through Althanas' set tournaments: Serenti, LCC, Adventurer's Crown and either the Cell or a "new" tourney on a rotating basis.

If I post an attack at another character who doesn't post at all, am I allowed to bunny the hit? In previous tournaments I was penalized because I had thrown an attack at someone who came at me and couldn't post because they stopped posting entirely.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Makes sense.Originally Posted by Max Dirks
Can you bunny the actions of your partner at the start of the thread? Can you bunny them when they're not engaged with the enemy and not under any attack?
Generally, I had thought that bunnying with permission from character's respective authors was allowed.
I've only just spotted this, but the rules say the combat begins on Tuesday 17th March. I have the 17th down as a Thursday.
So is it Thursday 17th March or Tuesday 15th March?

It starts Tuesday. Must have been a typo.

I also had another question. I have noticed that a fair number of us who will be participating have pending character updates. Will these be addressed before the start so we can enter the tournament with the latest builds?
Perhaps a new thread in this area for Q&A should be created.
As it stands, no you cannot. Impermissible bunnying is illegal, always. If you find yourself waiting on a reply from someone who's gone inactive, you should write it as a miss. Logan is considering making an exception to this rule if it becomes a problem, but I don't think it will because we allow partners to freely write out the missing player. If we do make an exception, we'll give you ample notification of the change.With permission, yes. In fact, I see no reason why you couldn't bunny them (with permission) when engaged and under attack. Keep in mind the major drawback of this is that if you bunny the character, you risk losing significant character points for doing so poorly. I recall in a previous LCC tournament, I allowed Thoracis to bunny Dirks. He had Dirks spout a cliché oneliner when I was playing Dirks off as gruff and determined, so we lost points for the inconsistency.We'll obviously try, but character updates take a significantly more time to approve than new player builds, especially when players are trying to rush bazaar transactions or metagame abilities to gain a leg up over their potential opponents. Thus, I can't guarantee you'll get through, no.
