I'm getting that "tournament time tingling" in my man balls again.

The Brotherhood are getting their first official outing in a tournament :cool:

Lye

For the record, I'm willing to donate 5AP to anyone who doesn't have the AP to enter. Please PM me if you'd like to take me up on the offer.

Philomel
01-04-2018, 01:17 PM
I'm up for doing the same as Lye :)

Philomel
01-04-2018, 01:17 PM
Also do people want to see a kenku army or the Gilded Lily army?

Shinsou Vaan Osiris
01-04-2018, 02:03 PM
I should have the AP when the incentives are done for this month :)

Who intends on entering?

Storm Veritas
01-04-2018, 02:14 PM
I will be there with bells on!

I should note that it -pains me- to have my AP change from it's current #nice position, but will happily donate to any member (akin to what Lye or Phi offered) should it be needed.

Nevin
01-04-2018, 02:29 PM
So Nev is the only one I feel high enough to participate. But he's not really general material. So I'm just tossing him in as a support hero for Phi.

Philomel
01-04-2018, 02:30 PM
Nevin has been accepted by the Philomel/Stare mega army

Arden
01-04-2018, 04:35 PM
I'd like to enter with Arden and the White Hand/Knights of Brae.

Max Dirks
01-04-2018, 05:26 PM
I'm auctioning off the Hero rights to Dirks. Someone give me a starting bid!

30,000 GP and Duffy Bracken's shit

01-05-2018, 05:23 AM
Duffy doesn't have any shit :P

Tempted to enter; but I'm always horrendous at battle/fight stuff.

Ahhh

Philomel
01-05-2018, 07:37 AM
I would say go for it Tiffany. Try your hand at it :)

Amari
01-05-2018, 08:04 AM
can my army just be 100 Australian spiders then?

Nevin
01-05-2018, 08:11 AM
Come now be fair you have to give other people a chance to win, Tiff

Lye
01-05-2018, 09:06 AM
Someone can use Lye as a "Hero" or ally unit during the event if they like. Gold speaks loud enough as well.

Shinsou Vaan Osiris
01-05-2018, 11:21 AM
God, i'm looking forward to this.

On a scale of one to ice cold, how cool are the rules makers with the idea of me writing as one of the 10,000 grunts, because I suck at larger-scale storytelling and this will allow me to stick to my strengths?

Lye
01-05-2018, 12:17 PM
Before we really get into the fray of approvals and what not, please be sure to read the rules thoroughly and start asking any questions. I tried to cover all the bases and be as clear as possible. If you notice some issues or have a grievance, let me know now before we get into the fray of it all because me and Tony will be very busy.

It's a good opportunity to start thinking of what your army will have in it, how it will maneuver on the battle field, how to respond to an enemy setting scenario, etc. Think of what units you want and if the rules create any conflict or question with what you want to have.

To be clear, if you use your character on the account you're playing, they are permitted all of their current gear and abilities in battle. If you want to use one of your characters as an alt character, they are limited to 3 field abilities. Since they will be treated as an NPC hero, you may play them no higher than a level 9. Since they are an NPC hero, that also means you could technically scale them up should you so choose.

And please post said questions in the rule thread so we can keep it formal and others get the clarification as well.

Philomel
01-05-2018, 12:34 PM
Lye, with Philomel being what she is with Delath and Veridian, are they permitted on also, with their abilities as detailed in her profile? Would I be permitted to separate them and have them with units, for instance, yet still at their power as stated in her profile?

Also with the special units that are equal to three standard units, I remember last time there was some rule or other about there being allowed only one or two of these types. Is there a limit to how many special units we can have, or what number within those units we can have?

Lye
01-05-2018, 12:46 PM
Post it in the other thread, please~ And I'll gladly answer you!

Philomel
01-05-2018, 01:03 PM
Sure.

Lye
01-05-2018, 01:48 PM
Responded to, Ms. Philomel! Good questions to ask, thank you!

Shinsou Vaan Osiris

As a bit of a student of the naploeonic wars, I have to say I enjoy this format of tournament more than most. It's going to be interesting to see who else signs up - already got Philomel, Revenant, me, Kitsune and Arden. That's a decent battle every round by my estimation.

Breaker
01-09-2018, 12:40 PM
Revenant gets my nomination for Best Army Name.

Lye
01-09-2018, 12:50 PM
Bunch of frothing religious nuts and priests whipping around incense flails. Sounds like his army is a witchhunting mob minus pitchforks and torches. lol

Shinsou Vaan Osiris
01-09-2018, 01:19 PM
Don't fancy coming up against the demons that make metal red hot.

Some Brotherhood bozos in for a bit of a baking...

Revenant
01-09-2018, 01:34 PM
I am somewhat gleeful with anticipation at the moment.

Now just need to make some cool heroes to come up with the badass names I gave them.

Arden
01-09-2018, 01:53 PM
Is that literally just your Age of Sigmar army Rev? :cool:

Revenant
01-09-2018, 01:58 PM
It is not because Age of Sigmar is stupid. Warhammer Fantasy forever!

Also, maybe.

Erik
01-09-2018, 03:42 PM
So, in trying to decide whether or not Erik would actually take a spot in the army I'm building, I came upon a question. Erik is only level two. If I wanted to use him, would he take up a Hero slot? Or would he just take increased troop points?

Because I don't know whether we actually even need out PC in the army. I don't think we do but I'm trying to make sure.

Philomel
01-09-2018, 03:44 PM
If you ask lye in this thread ... He should be able to give a clearer answer.

Any early shouts for 1st, 2nd and 3rd?

Philomel
01-10-2018, 04:21 AM
Storm, Shinsou and Revenant are all excellent writers and shown themselves very capable in combat matches in the past.

To be honest every who is entering has good, steady imagination and decent writing skills. The ones I mentioned are only as there were some combat threads from them recently and they were very impressive. Everyone has a chance.

Arden
01-10-2018, 05:51 AM
The winner of the previous tournament should be handicapped in the next one...

Mwhahaha.

Amari
01-10-2018, 09:55 PM
WHen will rounds start? I'm contemplating signing up but January-FEbruary is hell for me atm, with events coming out the waazoo and people moving out then in and seeing my dad for the first ime in like 4 years

Revenant
01-10-2018, 10:38 PM
I want NekoPrincess to win because even though I dislike cats, a cartoony army of cat maids is too good an opportunity to see win.

Storm Veritas
01-10-2018, 11:16 PM
Good luck to everyone in your quests to capture second place! :P

Amari
01-10-2018, 11:28 PM
It would be interesting to see someone win who isn't combat orientated. ahaha!
I have been contemplating entering; but am wanting to be in character but at the same time have interesting troops

Write from the perspective of a nurse, surgeon, logistician, merchant.

Damn, I should have done an army with Nevin included in it. The angry alchemist ranting at people for being idiots and doing a MASH style look at the war.

Philomel
01-12-2018, 05:30 AM
Do you want Nevin back?

Erik
01-12-2018, 08:36 AM
Nah, he wouldn't fit the army I'm building. I'll just go with what I have planned.

Shinsou Vaan Osiris

Is what you have planned the total annihilation of your forces?;)

Erik
01-12-2018, 09:27 AM
They're Undead. I hope someone stops them. But I also don't plan on just rolling over.

Was rather hoping a few more people would show up. Looking like it's going to be a small tournament this year.

Shinsou Vaan Osiris
02-06-2018, 02:23 AM
So, here we go.

I see I have Storm ahead of me if I beat Kitsune...

Kitsune

Why! Why did I have to deal with magic nulling black mages!? My entire army is made up of mages!!

I figured out early doors that most niche, battle influencing abilities would come from mages. That said, it's still going to be a tough ask fighting a whole army of them.

Expect me to come at you with nothing less than my A-Game, pal.

::stretches out, cracks knuckles::

Go ahead folks! Exhaust yourselves and use up all your most creative assault types. I needed to work on my tan anyway.

Oh I'm sure your troops will have fun trying to get their calamari

How's that tan, Storm? A good rust color? Best not let your guard down around the spry youngin's.

Shinsou Vaan Osiris
02-07-2018, 01:48 PM
Your move, Kit.

I'd say "gold". "Gold", to "rich gold". Around me everyone is a "youngin" so I'll spend the next couple up on my porch in the rocker, sipping my handle of 'shine and whispering racist jokes to the dog.

I must be about two years shy of you, pal. Our battle would be clash of the zimmers.

Apologies to Kitsune for my absence. How I won that round, given the circumstances, is anyone's guess and i'm a little embarrassed about it.

I will make sure to give Storm everything I've got to make up for it and ensure that the rest of the tournament at least gets the effort it deserves.
