Board 8 > Mercenaries Draft, Week 7 Results: End of Days

(+) Yeah! (+)

DC SOLOS Tirofog (9-0)
Lopen outpilots Eddv (8-2)
Kamek crosses over Mewtwo (6-1)
Skyridge shows up Luis (4-1)

Gravy defeats Boko (8-2)
Jeezy curses Tom (5-1)
Rocket destroys Eaed (5-1)
Scare overpowers Johnbobb (3-0)

Via a layered tiebreaker, our playoffs standings are determined. The following standings and matches will be enacted starting next week, as per playoffs rules.

Group 1:

Lopen (1st seed): Bye/Mini-events
Eddv: (2nd seed): Bye/Mini-events
DC (3rd) vs. Tirofog (6th)
Luis? (4th) vs. Mewtwo (5th)

Group 2:

Gravy (1st seed): Bye/Mini-events
Boko: (2nd seed): Bye/Mini-events
Scare (3rd) vs. Jeezy (6th)
Tom (4th) vs. Johnbobb (5th)

From now on, bidding will operate as per the playoff rules on the Elimination and Endgame section of the Mercs 4 wiki. Tier bidding will still last 12 hours as usual.

Top seeds will have the option each week of participating in a Mini-Event fight the following week, following the rules of the Ultimate Challenges events. Participation in one week will not bind leaders to fighting in the following weeks - they may opt in on a per-week basis. They will still receive the usual experience earned during playoffs, a total of 50 EXP, assigned in 20-20-10 parcels.

In addition, we are looking for someone to take over Luis' team, as he appears to have gone AWOL. If you're interested, contact us or post here.

(Assign EXP and do abilities as usual - winners on the left get 20 EXP, losers get 10. As a reminder, eaed, rocket, skyridge and kamek are eliminated!)

No. Pit had to pass a trial to be able to pilot it.

Also one of Yuffie's defining character traits is crippling motion sickness, so it's probably not a good idea anyways.

Offer Tirofog the services of Ilya for 3 GP. Fight hard and go for it Tirosan~

Can I drop Suika for Sabin back? Just for my sanity lol

I'd give her some basic proficiency at piloting it since the write-up says she comes in piloting it, but her motion sickness is a thing.

Nope. You're stuck with what you bought.

Worthless scum...

You have had your chance to shine in the light, now I come for you not in the cover of darkness, but as an unseen blade from the shadows. The flick of my wrist will end the momentary disease you suffer from known as life.

Consider this a warning. A chance to put your affairs in order. Talk to your God and beg for salvation in the next life.

For the affliction of breath shall soon be taken from you with a sword through the heart.

- V

10 Exp on Morrigan's new SoB, completing it.

To the four leaders who've reached the top seeds in each group: First off, my sincerest congratulations. You've played excellent games, and I cannot wait to see what you will do when it's time for you to enter the playoffs. That said, that's in three weeks' time. A very long time in Mercenaries. You can take the weeks off, if you want, but perhaps you might want to fight some risk-free matches to make sure your edge doesn't dull? If you're interested, look on...

Event Options:

Future Sight I & II

Mercenaries is an ever-evolving game. It changes, twists and turns. Its rules are revised, polished, discarded and remade. And of course, new mercenaries enter the fray, sometimes one by one, sometimes in bulk. These mercenaries-to-be await your challenge. Do you think you can defeat them?

Boss Rush

A great prison was built to control him, but now he's broken loose. Can your guardians stop this alien invader, or will he kill each and every one of you, one by one in his bid for freedom?

Re;Birth 1

Sometimes mercenaries are released into the wild untested, or much-too-old builds are reused. When this happens, the result is almost always the same: The merc SUCKS. But it doesn't have to be that way. What if every mercenary had value and an unique identity? What if they could all be made stronger, better, more unique? Try these remakes on for size, if you're not scared about getting your ass kicked, that is.

Re;Birth 2

Sometimes, a merc is very good, and yet, his full potential remains untapped. Sometimes this is forgiveable, because they'd break the game (looking at you, KOS-MOS). Other times, though, it's a more debatable stylistic choice - such as here. He's been training in the X-Zone while sitting the draft out. But now, you face HIM, GILGAMESH, ONCE MORE!

5v5 Teamfight

No event generated as much controversy as the League event. No, not even TYPE-Moon - that one got redacted, but it didn't have such huge ripple effects on the game. Consider this particular event my attempt at remaking a misfired event and setting things right. No bullshit, no complicated setups, no fancy gimmicks - just a 5v5 mercs fight. You up for it?

---

Aaaaand that's all of them. Post in bold if you want to challenge a specific event or skip out! First come first served so choose quickly if you want to try out a certain event in particular!
---

Clarification on Events: Boss Rush will also allow you to select unbought mercenaries to challenge The Stranger with, to a total of 8 (including your preexistent low tier mercs). All merc selections will be done during peacetime, within the ability-usage window.
---

Challenge one of the Future Sights
---

Special Amendment to the Boss Clause: Kirby can't get Forms from the bosses, even though it's technically legal since it doesn't hinder them in any way. This is a safeguard against accidentally tilting the game in favor of Lopen by giving him some cheap stuff form mercs that aren't 100% release-ready yet. #NoBigRigs
---

dibs on dat rebirth2
---

Let it be known I requested that because I want to win fairly
---

oh, rebirth 2
---

Challenge The Stranger
---

Challenge accepted. For this showdown, I select...

-Paine!
-Metabee!
-Shadow Man!
-The Soul of Cinder!
-And his name is...JOHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN CENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
---

Clarification on unbought pool merc selections for the event: All mercenaries will come fully upgraded for you since you'll be fighting powerful bosses. Isn't that nice?
---

guess i will do a 5v5 team fight
---

are there going to be a new set of events every week?
---

the pbworks editor is such garbage, it keeps overwriting/deleting my code

Yeah. The events this week are pretty straightforward, but we're cooking up some cool stuff for the others!
