Off Season Antics

Hello all, first off I would like to welcome the newest addition to The Fantasy Fantasy family, Dave Parks. He will be taking over Michael Vickz Bad Newz Kennelz of Lurve and he will also be our newest Watcher next season. I would politely ask you all to go easy on him at first; but since I know none of you will, I won't even bother to try. So, go ahead and give him hell; but just because we have a new, new guy; let's please not use this as an excuse to start being nice to Real Man. I mean, that would simply be a shame.

Also, a few of us have put together both an Optional and a Non-Optional Tournament to help pass some time in the off-season. Here they are:

The Unlucky 13 Tournament (OPTIONAL)

In this tournament you may enter anywhere from zero to three seperate squads, and you will be awarded 5 Resurrection points per squad, just for entering (so a possible 15 Res. Points are available without even winning a match). The final prize will be Galvatron's Spaceship (the one that Unicron gave him in the original Transformers Movie). There will be Res. Point Prizes for winning each round, and for the final as well; but those will vary according to how many teams are entered. Here is the squad you must put up:

1. Any Avenger (Marvel)
2. Any X-Men Character (Marvel)
3. Any Marvel Villain
4. Any Justice League Member (D.C.)
5. Any Lantern (D.C.)
6. Any D.C. Villain
7. Any Star Wars Character
8. Any Force User
9. Any Transformer
10. Any Robot
11. Any Dead Character (zombie, black lantern, or vampire)
12. Any Character under 45 points* (this is the only required field).
13. Mascot: Any Character under 5 points

-You do not have to fill all 13 spots; but you must fill at least 9 of the 13 to get the 5 Resurrection Points for entering (you may insert one substitute into any of the first 11 spots, this character must be 15 points or less, also feel free to grab characters off of the waiver wire to fill the spots).

-But here is why this tournament is so dangerous. The squad(s) you put up will be fully brought back to life for each round of this tournament. So, the characters you choose to enter into this tournament could potentially get several deaths (4 deaths is the estimate for the most a character could get; but it could technically be even more depending on how many squads enter into the tournament). Who plays who, will be randomly selected after all of the squads are submitted. If one of your squads is selected to go up against another one of your squads, then you can combine the squads in whatever way you choose, and the other one will be eliminated, without any deaths, or any more deaths given to them. I am sure that some of this may seem confusing, but I will post some more stuff in the comment section that might help. Please feel free to contact me direct, or to ask questions in the comment section and me or one of the other watchers will do our best to clarify things. These squads will be due by Friday December 20th.


NON-OPTIONAL ROYAL RUMBLE

-This will be similar to The Royal Rumble that Ryan did a few years back. Every team must submit two characters; but there is no minimum point value (in other words, you have to enter, but you can throw junk characters at it if you want). You must choose two characters from your roster that do not combine for more than 40 points (feel free to use discounts for your two characters).

-The way this tournament will work will be very random. The characters will come down to the ring in a randomly selected order, also the watchers will write randomly selected parts of this match. The prize will be 35 Resurrection Points as well as The Merrimac and The Monitor (yes, the 19th Century Navy Steamships). There will also be an additional 5 Resurrection Points given to the last 5 characters (other than the winner) that are eliminated, and also 3 resurrection points each given to the two unlucky chumps whose characters are chosen as #1 and #2 in the rumble order.

-The only restriction is that the characters must be able to fit in a wrestling ring (sorry Metroplex and Gamera). Also, you may choose characters that have flying abilities; but these abilities will be "somehwat disabled" by the watchers, for the sake of being knocked over the top rope of the ring.

-Good luck all, the characters for this will also be due on Friday December 20th (if they are not in, we will grab some junk off of your roster without asking (we're jerks like that)).


-Anyone who would like to write in both or either one of these tournaments, please let me know. The More the Merrier.
