Board 8 > X-Men Draft Topic 1

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll start his clock now because of that. Sorry folks, I'm at work.

---

Don't be sorry about being at work. We don't all have standard 9-5 jobs. Heck, that's why I've sent you so many pick lists. Also, if you feel like we should take some time before first matches I think the player-base would agree.
---

Bishop
---

@MegamanX bishop went on day 1

---

oh weird I copied the list and hit random you hid lines on the sheet I'm guessing
---

Ok give me Stacy X
---

yes

---

ok @Shaduln

---

I just now realized this is the final draft round.
---

Take Empath

---

@redrocket you have a 2nd available pick since Empath would count as your 9th, and your 10th was also skipped, so you should be free to pick again right now (keeping in mind it'll be your last draft pick)

Oh yeah, thanks.

---

@DeathChicken takes Callisto.

@Snake5555555555 takes Shark-Girl.

@banananor takes Stringfellow.

@NBIceman is on the clock. 6:36.

---

Shoulda gone Callisto R9. Damn.

Primal
---

@MartinFF7 is on the clock. Deadline: 6:40.

Wallflower (Laurie Collins)

Okay I need everyone's help since I'm really not familiar with the modern era, please, and my attempts at researching this have really failed since they're only described collectively:

How powerful is an individual Cuckoo sister? Like, is their powerset only really meaningful when the three of them are all together and any sister individually is really bottom-tier telepath and wouldn't have access to their usual skillset?

Or would any individual Cuckoo sister have the full breadth of powers and be toe-to-toe with any of the non-top-tier telepaths?

Guidance would be appreciated here, thanks...

They're decent telepaths on their own. They're basically clones of Emma Frost, though probably not as strong as her on their own. As a collective they're possibly omega level.

Lockheed

---

Thanks ChichiriMuyo, that's kind of what I expected.

Research on the second of my final three isn't quite enough to top her, and the third was Stringfellow. Who is a legitimate talent for only, like, a two-page appearance, damn.

Phoebe Cuckoo

@ScareChan

is

Captain UK (Linda McQuillan)

still on the board

if so her
---

@IhatethisCPU takes Karasu.

@Eddv with the last pick.

---

@Eddv takes Claudette St. Croix.

Well, keep in mind that the roster is only a small part of the pitch, so let's not put the cart before the horse yet.

I know, it's just initial thoughts based solely on what the teams look like after the draft.
---

Still need names for bananor, redrocket, Shaduln, Lopen, Wicklebee.

---

Yeah I may *still* dont get exactly how the pitch is supposed to be. After I see an example I'll get it locked up though

---

Rules:

1) Players are divided into two divisions. Each round, players will face one opponent in two categories. These categories are: "Fight" and "Pitch".
2) "Fight" matches should be voted on with the following criteria: "Who would win in a fight?"
-Characters are expected to have the abilities (and limitations) from their last living appearance.
-All fights will take place on a habitable uncolonized moon of Saturn where there is a temperate climate, water, air, flora, fauna, etc.
-Teams are kept in an isolated, impenetrable chamber prior to the beginning of conflict and are unaware of their opponents until the fight begins.
-The only directive supplied to these teams is that they must defeat their opponents. If the do not attempt to do so, Earth will be destroyed.
-Voters should consider the potential conflicts within teams as a factor (can characters with negative relationships work together), as well as the intelligence of the characters, resourcefulness, etc.
3) "Pitch" matches should be voted on with the following criteria: "Which pitch would make a better series?"
-All pitches must take place in the Marvel Universe (616). No alternate realities or future skips, etc. It must take place alongside the rest of Marvel continuity.
-All characters drafted must be included in the pitch, although you may simply namedrop them. But no character can be skipped.
-Voters should consider team name, roster, cohesiveness, quality of concept, and whether the team fits with the concept, among any other criteria they wish to consider.
-Voters should NOT consider whether a dead character is suddenly alive in this pitch. Voters SHOULD consider other aspects of team status; if characters would make sense working together, if characters have abilities that are mutually exclusive, etc.
-Pitches should be one paragraph (No more than two).
-Players can rewrite/rework their pitches between each round.
4) Anyone who is not involved in a specific match can vote for either team in either category. The player with the most votes in one of the categories will get a win in said category.
5) After each player has faced seven opponents, the players with the best "Fight" records in each division will face off and the players with the best "Pitch" records will face off.
6) Rosters each week will be made up ONLY of 6 members of the team. Every character must be active against at least three distinct opponents. Every character must also be inactive against at least three distinct opponents.
9) Between rounds, players may make one-for-one trades with any other player.
10) Rosters must always house exactly ten members.
