goodbye tournament: Solitary superheroes
Well, my time has gone. I had a great time at this forum and enjoyed the whole game (a little to) much thanks to all you kind people. One thing i never did however was join another tourney except the MF ones. The major hurdle was the limitation the rules made for the characters. It seemed the whole thing would just take to much time. But ohhh, did i love reading the progress of some people. In my mind some of them are the true masters of PvM playing.
So i would like to host, as a goodbye present a hopefully short, but fun tourney. Where most of the other where mostly involved with patience, skills and a lot of 'killing by merc', this one will hopefully be about style, brute force and a little roleplaying.
May i present to you: "The league of solitary superheroes."
Basic rules.
1. SC only. You may do it hardcore, but some rules may make that extra hard.
2. Twinking to the bone. Ever seen James Bond or Batman without the cool items? I don't think so. You may be a superhero allready, but even they need some good, spiffy gear to survive.
3. No minions, no merc. You are a solitary superhero, so you work alone.
4. Rerunning allowed, not all quests have to be done.
Now, it still is a tourney, so you must be able to score points so we can declare a winner in the end. You, as a superhero, must do some tasks to showoff you amazing powers at the yearly superheroes convention the last day of october (when the tourney ends.)
Therefor you have to produce some evidence in the form of screenshots, and you must have your stories ready to take the form of the myths that they will evolve in.
First thing to do is to create a deeper psycholigy of your character. Why did he or she take up arms against evil in the first place, and how did his superpowers (skills) evolve in what they are now. You do this somewhere along the line, but before you make your endpost (see rule 8)
Second, you will make a screenshot of you character dressed up reflecting that psychology. It would be cool if he/she actually fights in that outfit, but not needed.
Third, you will deliver 'an amazing feat'. Like killing a boss naked or just do something crazy/impossible/real funny. Describe what you have done, maybe assisted by some screenshots.
Forth, you will have to pick you nemesis. That is a monstertype that, wheneverand wherever it spawns, you will kill all of it's kind on that level. You may choose between dolls, gloams and ok's. More points are rewarded by me by picking a harder nemesis regarding your character. If you pick dolls while playing a melee sorc, you will get the credits for that.
Fifth, you will have to make a cliffhanger screenshot somewhere along the way. You will post this in the thread before you decide that your superpowers have evolved enough and you declare yourself done. See them as some photo's the superheroes send eachother before the convention just to make the others jealous. A cliffhanger screenshot is made by your hero, surrounded by monsters and at the brink of death. Make the situation look really hopeless.
sixth, pick your kryptonite. This is done by adding a mayor weakness to your hero. You decide what weekness, and i'll reward credits.
Seventh, Pick a grail. The one item you set you mind up on finding this time. It may be a set item or a unique or a magic item with a prefix AND a suffix. You must declare your grailitem when you subscribe to the thread.
eighth, make an endpost. You do this after you have defeaten Baal at least. You may also kill him 100 times more, but you must be a Pat/Mat before you can make an endpost. Brag about yourself, or cry as you are filled with guilt over all the poor monster you have slain or,,well, just make something up.
As far as the scoring, you score relative to others. I will judge how you did the tasks and how you presented them. I am completely impartial but can be bribed with a good dosis of humor. The point is, you don't play this tourney to win, just to enjoy the creation of a character and to play the game a little different maybe.
The winner will get the rarest item i ever found. It is sure noone has anything like it. It's completely useless, but it's the ultimate bragging trophy at the convention.
