[quote=@Devil]The main issue we had in this tournament are people not reading the rules:

[code]Stacking - To place many different and/or unrelated powers/abilities on a character is regulated. There is no determined number of power(s) a character has access to, or how many different abilities a character can enact due to a specific power. An endless stack of limitless potential is restricted based on how wide of an application each power has in perspective to their potency; likewise, numerous applications of one power may also be regulated. This ruling will encompass any and all equipment too.[/code]

4th sentence of that ruling. The Stacking ruling is regulated because it is hard to determine how much or how little something can be considered stacking making it a very hard rule to enforce; however, a blatant amount of stacking, such as Ether, can easily be identified because it is a universal "realm energy" that can be used for anything and everything. Read the rules. The problem isn't compatibility. The problem is that you, and your crew, don't read. That isn't an attack on you. That is an attack on your ideaology to roleplaying because you cannot take the time to accommodate to the game you are playing, and then make the assumption that I will accommodate to you. This is what got Ultron rejected.

If it was such a fundamental law we wouldn't have this kind of discussion. No one would.

So... You don't like our characters because they're not one trick ponies? Because that's how that little rant reads. I can understand saying "you can't have thirty powers that make no sense together" because it's nonsensical. However if those powers are related and logically make sense as working in some sort of system (like a metahuman who can initially control fire later developing the ability to change his physical structure into an energy state - pyromorphism - would be related thematically and logically) I'm not sure I see the issue. Is this what's causing people friction? I mainly ask because I would really love to know what's rubbing you the wrong way here. And the ether argument is, frankly, pretty stupid. I have never once seen anyone argue that just because a different label is affixed to it that it shouldn't interact unless they're specifically trying to be a power gaming douche bag. Let's not do that kids.
