Yu hangs around while Rikku beams about how super wicked cool Samus's Gunship is

Meanwhile Samus wonders how the hell a genuine S-Link 3 bond is being established with two randoms talking about her ship. (Trigger)

(and then some because that brings Rikku to S-Link 5)

Alright. So, as has been said before, players will be able to redraft their teams after weeks 3 and 6 have concluded. But how that'll work hasn't been officialized yet, so...

These are the rules for redrafts:

-After weeks 3 and 6 have concluded, but before the start of weeks 4 and 7 (which will be delayed for one day for the redrafts), you may replace a number of mercs from your team for mercs in the unbought pool (which may be mercs replaced by other teams).
-You may redraft up to five mercs, TOTAL, between both redrafts. Redraft five mercs in the week 3 redraft and you will not be able to replace anyone for week 6!
-Replaced mercs may have abilities on CD, but you may not have spent any Limited Use Abilities they might have.
-Once you've replaced a merc, YOU MAY NEVER DRAFT THEM AGAIN. The sole exception are mercenaries replaced for a Lightning Save of their souls. No others!
-Redrafts may be mailed in or PM'd to the admins during the Weeks 3 and 6 Results phase, in order of priority (from 1 to possibly 5), which will be revealed at the start of the redrafting phase. A redraft with priority 1 will resolve before a redraft with priority 2, and so on and so forth down the chain. If two leaders try to draft the same merc in the unbought pool at the same level of priority, the leader with the most wins wins out. If the number of wins are equal, whoever has a head-to-head win wins out. If both tiebreaker criteria are equal, one leader will be randomly selected to resolve first.
-The redrafting phase will last 24 hours during which players in each pool may freely redraft in a free-for-all style after mailed in picks have resolved, with whoever posts in bold indicating a replacement (example: TRADE Chrom FOR Donte (DmC)) redrafting successfully, from Monday 9 PM EST to Tuesday 9 PM EST, delaying Peacetime by a day and shortening Wartime for the same duration for those weeks.

I believe this covers everything. Any questions you might have, just go ahead and ask.

Can KOd mercs be traded in?

Can KOd mercs be traded in?

KO'd, possessed, and otherwise removed ones can be traded in. This won't cancel abilities though - if Bayonetta is waifu'd by Neclord her own team could trade her away but the Neclord team would still have her as an assist for the following week.

These weren't posted yet primarily because it was possible they'd have to be adjusted (as seen with Yojimbo)

Gimme like fifteen and I'll see what I can do

I have 3 more GP than that because I did not roster Samus who was paid down for 6gp

A fitting price paid. Home Yuna (Skyridge's) secures Yojimbo's services!

How does Mewtwo have 22 again?

Refund for not rostering Luca.

^^^^^^

The Armstrong money was deducted properly, the luca money was refunded, also properly

Ok, I just saw 14 on the standings page on the wiki and got confused

The page is unsanctioned so take it with a grain of salt. I think it's using peacetime values there (as mewtwo spent 10 on armstrong, 4 on luca, and got 2 back, which added to income gives you 22 - this seems to check out).
---

there's a standings page on the wiki?

am I, like, missing a wiki?

oh I'm a dope, I didn't notice gp totals had been added

carry on

@ScareChan

Raiden (MK)'s They Must Win! ability presents several very sloppy errors, and we're errataing it to bring it up to proper Mercs standards. Specifically, the changes we'll be performing are as follows:

-They Must Win! will be changed to KO 'a random rosterable allied mercenary' if it turns out Raiden's enemies must win. This prevents an exploit where allies over the tier could be KO'd, thus granting a 'something for nothing' effect, and is in line with past such errata.
-They Must Win! currently grants control over a 'roster bid', which doesn't exist. We will be changing this to 'terrain bid'.

Overall, we consider this a buff to Raiden, not a nerf, as while losing the exploit hurts your ability to use it very freely, controlling terrain compensates for this. We are still obligated to offer you a chance to immediately redraft Raiden however, if you are unsatisfied with the fixed build. What is your decision?
---

Doesn't Ed have 25? He paid down Megaman, Wonderful 100 kills getting your roster buydown back (I also wouldn't get Alice's 4 back)

Anyway, 10 to unlock Alice's first Threats upgrade
---

Eddv spent 10GP on megaman and none on tier, IIRC - so he had 10 GP going into wartime. No money was refunded so he just gained a flat 20 GP. Did I miss any other expenditures anywhere?
---

That's actually right I think, never mind
---

I should be at 23 GP; only bid 17

Correct, I misremembered that you were defender and used the final total, not the actually bid amount
---

15 on Kirby's ability upgrade
5 on C A G E
---

my gp is right gj bud
---

I just remembered X has Jeigan. I'm assuming I don't get a do-over on exp

Ignore that, I forgot Jeigan only cuts exp if I actually use X in mid

I was about to say

Also, GP has been adjusted to account for tier-bid-loss refunds. So Corrik has 40 GP for example.
---

Is the redraft deadline at 9:00:30am EST or 9:00:00am EST

This is important.
---

Errr terrain bid deadline I mean

Tier bid

This is important.

For the sake of reasonable leniency, 9:00:30am EST. I wanted to have this go up on the dot but my connection refused to humor me :(
---

(note to self: deduct 1gp from corrik because I accidentally gave him a refund on a won bid. Also 4gp from eaed)
---

so wait I have a question about redrafts

I was under the impression that we were able to adjust to who other teams were getting rid of? Like, if Gravy fires Dante, I could pick him up. How would that work under this system?
