You're offering real money for a roleplay tournament? The salt levels will be off the damn chain. With that in mind, they say never turn a hobby into a job, so I won't be participating, but best of luck.[/quote]

Not a job it's a tournament and if anything I'd be doing the lionshare of the work. All you have to do is play, but sure.

[quote=@Melonhead]I have to ask though, what exactly is your definition of high tier? Reading through one of your template characters they seem to have the capacity to fire scaled up lightning bolts, both faster and presumably hotter than an actual lightning bolt in nature. Such an attack is, to my understanding, basically going to auto-connect on any character slower than the speed of light, which seems to stray out of what is commonly known as 'high tier'.

Electricity is a schedule 3 because there are forces within nature or in some of the other profiles that could manage it, but the conditions necessary to actively counter it is impractical and you'd be right; however, high tier amps up the levels of every ability a character has to a degree in where electricity, even to the magnitude of Mitsu, is not only manageable but may actually be somewhat negligible unless he revved it up to their pace. Mitsu is an incredibly strong character, but there are strategies to protect yourself against projectiles that some of us in TZDL already have

All things considered: even without crimson lightning, electricity is fast and strong enough to be considered "high tier" but it isn't. Argryia's Serenity Redstar had no problems with Mouse's Mitsu Mazono in their exhibition in 2009 and in their quarterfinal match in TZDL2011. I defeated Mitsu Mazono in an exhibition match in 2013 and my character's attacks aren't close to the speed electricity moves. Electricity, by itself, has some gnarly properties and banning it outright isn't exactly fair and would hurt the actual diversity I went for when I made the scheduling system (which got a lot of powers and meta unbanned or deregulated significantly). Roleplaying offers an abundance dimension of craziness you can muster. Mitsu was posted because he represented the power aspect.


Unrelated but who here rather I move the prelim date to May 1st?
