I would so sign up for this, but I've already got 6 tourney characters alive. Not enough time to play them all already. If I get some of them killed off and you have dropouts before the start date, I might be interested, but as it stands right now, I know I wouldn't be able to squeeze another tourney in. I will be watching this one with great interest though.

Forum Name Starting Character/Class Character KilledI would love to join this tournament, it sounds very fun. I WILL, however, need a sponsor since my one single HC character is in a tournament that allows no ATMA hijinks, thus meaning I can't take items off (And at his low level, they would all be bad ANYWAY, I don't want that).

That's a very generous offer. My personal opinion is that this should be the prize for the winner of the tourney. IMO yes, but I'll leave it up to skunkbelly if it's an adequate entry fee.
As for me - all of my current SC projects can be easily put on hold, so I'll start the HC item collection process with my Trapper. She's still untwinked in A3/normal, and I still need 90% of the items, but it'll give me something to pursue in the (relatively) short term. I'll post an update before October 9th, since that is the last day I'll be able to play before the 15th.
@skunkbelly, I noticed your comment in the rules to 'don't forget the gold'... can you (or anyone) tell me how to work this with ATMA and softcore? Currently, I have a few million in SC $$$/gold in my ATMA bank, and I obviously don't want to include my softcore $ in my hardcore projects or tourney characters. Keeping track of gold is possilble with manual effort, but it's tedious and somewhat error-prone.
Does anyone else have a better method to suggest for transferring/handling gold between my HC and SC characters without getting resources mixed up?

@ Milb: stash received.
@ waflob: I wouldn't dream of taking your only SOJ. Just send me what you've got, and we'll fill in your last item one way or another (I can spot you an EU, if nothing else).
@ sirpoopsalot: you could go real old-school rpg, and use a pad and paper
Write down the gold you have before passing along your character, put it in the bank, and load the correct amount onto your next character. You might also be able to do a second ATMA install, and keep it separate for this tournament.
@ Everyone: from the responses I've received from folks, I think everyone who needs a sponsor will be covered (I've received specific sponsorship offers for about 10 players worth, and a couple of large-scale item donations have also been offered). So if you're on the list, you're in... and if you'd like to sign up, just go for it.

Just had a rules clarification as far as crafting and runeword production is concerned.
Since we can effectively "perm" items found in game with the act5 quests of personalizing and socketing, I was curious where in the item production process this must take place. For example if I wanted to craft a caster belt, would I be able to make a bunch of these from what I find and then personalize the eventual good one to keep it. Or must I personalize my light belt immediately after picking it up and only get one shot at crafting? Same question for runewords with variable mods, can I keep making said runeword until I get one with good stats, or do I have to personalize the socketed item and then make the runeword in it?
Thanks

This is incorrect. The items you can "perm" include items you IMBUE (act 1) and items you personalize (act 5). The items you socket must meet all of the other rule requirements... you cannot just socket any item and then make it a part of your stash. It must be an item that would already be legal for your stash.
Brak said:
Here is how this should work:
1. You are in act 5.
2. You find an item you wish to personalize. You pick it up. You personalize it. Then, if you wish, you can do whatever you want to do to it (runeword, craft, reroll, socket, cube recipe, etc.).
3. Remember, you can only save the item in your ATMA stash *after* it has been personalized or imbued (or given to you by Anya, Akara or Ormus, in the case of their reward items). So you can't save up items from earlier difficulties for personalizing in act 5. If you find Tyrael's Might in act 4 hell, you'll just have to mule it off to your private stashes... you can't use it in the tournament.

Nope
This time around, you just get to keep all of your quest reward items.OK, I am in. I think I can pay the signup fee, but it will be very close, because I lack elite items (I have only few conquerors), but I have found one exceptional class spec. unique... I still have to find few more exceptional/elite items with sockets.
I am looking forward starting the tourney. (I hope I will not play with characters named "Sutc21").

Welcome, Hrus and Hep!
@ Hrus: the class specific excp. unique will be perfectly fine. Perhaps even better! And don't worry, the names won't be that bad

By the way, there is one other equipment rule I forgot to mention:
You *are* allowed to use your starting gear (pally sword and shield, sorc staff, etc.). You may use it as long as you wish to, and you may modify it in any way you see fit (cube recipes, socketing, imbuing, etc.). For most characters that's not very exciting, but it's better than starting naked!
