    Is this true?

    Hey guys, I can't remember how to load/which option I use to activate the .SAV file. Uhmmmm, I know this is simple but I've forgotten. A little help please? BTW I'm using VBA as my emulator

    Isn't GBA Era the best? Post if you agree or disagree

    One of my biggest annoynances with FE7 was the disparity in names. The main/biggest example being Brendan Reed and his sons. Why are these the only characters to have a last name? What does that mean? Was Brendan descended from a lost Fiefdom of Lycia and Reed was the title? If not, was this just an oversight by IS or something they didn't value enough to fix? These are the only reasons I've been able to come up with and I'd be interested to see if anyone else has better insight.

    if you intent to do a swiftsole run, why not get yourself some monster weapons too?

    this way weapon types don't matter anymore either.

    Because I'm playing on a cart and I'd really like to avoid corrupting it. I know the chances are slim, but I've had this thing forever and it just isn't worth the risk to me.

    So I'm trying to decide on the best classes to promote several of my characters. I'm playing on Hard Mode and plan to CC afterward. I also intend to abuse the swiftsole run, so low movement is a nonfactor for me. The most obvious thing to do is just pick the classes with the highest caps (ex: Sage over MK in Lute's case) but I wanted some opinions on whether certain classes just work better for certain characters. Gerik going Hero instead of Ranger is a good example of this.

    So here's the list of people I haven't decided upon yet:

    Gilliam; I usually go GK for the additional move, but I'm thinking of General this time around for the higher defensive caps

    Neimi; I prefer Ranger for the added use of swords, I've considered Sniper purely for the higher strength cap

    Colm; He's most often my rogue (Rennac is trash, IMO) but adding a potential OHKO unit would be nice

    Amelia; I rarely use her, and when I have, it's always been as a Paladin, but I would like to try either GK or General for the higher caps

    Ewan; This is usually my backup MK to L'Arachel, but I've never tried him as a Druid/Summoner or Sage

    I didn't take skills into consideration because of how unreliable they are the majority of the time.

    I see no one has taken my spot? Sorry for the absence. I suppose I should have mentioned I work long hours and often have limited access to internet. However, now that you have the list up, I may do some advance bidding. With the weekend almost here, I will have a lot more time to draft. Sorry for the inconvenience, hope i can still participate? :o:

    Ok well sign me up then.

    I do work long hours so I'll probably be last to finish. Using an emulator will help save me time though so maybe I won't lag too far behind.

    And I think it's prudent that you set minimum and maximum team sizes.

    Oh one thing I forgot! Are we penalized for letting characters die? Don't recall seeing this in the original rules.

    28x is banned because it makes it impossible to complete the chapter in a reasonable time frame unless you have a flier, which is dumb.

    But what if one of us sponges too much exp with Marcus early game (less turns but lower levels)and needs some exp? 28x is one of the better chapters for pure EXP and besides, it's my prerogative whether to risk it or not. And if I have several flyers on my team, why should I be denied the chapter because others can't complete it as quickly?

    Usually it's allowed by having it free for something like 15-20 turns. Existence of Fell Contract and Speedwings makes it quite desirable.

    This is what I was considering but forgot to voice. If you feel uncomfortable leaving it to the contestants, then just assign a turn penalty (something reasonable between 5-10) and add half total turn count for that chapter to it. This way, I can't take a 20 turn penalty and then abuse the chapter for 40+ turns. It would be like using the arena without risking a restart OR counting the turns spent using the arena.

    Also:

    It doesn't matter to me whether its single auction or in batches, but I would think groups of 5 would greatly expedite the process.

    I'm in favor of Marcus being free up to Ch. 20. Even in regular HM, Uhai can be a real pain in the ass thanks to those woods he's sitting on.

    While the 100 credits will indeed help moderate team size, I think you might consider a min and max. That way I can't get twice as many units as the other teams just because I only bid higher on the low value units. Otherwise we may end up with a team that has 10 units and one that has 4. I would assume that anyone playing this would be more competent than to overpay on the 6 top units.

    Lastly, I don't think you ever clarified whether Lyn mode is included or not. I'm judging not due to the fact that Lyn, Sain, Kent and Wil are free in Ch. 16, or else they'd be bulky enough to take some hits and survive, especially compared to HHM. This doesn't even begin to cover how much adding LM would complicate the drafting values.

    This looks fascinating! And a lot less tenuous and rage-inducing than a HHM run. I'm potentially game for this.

    Why is 28x blocked? If someone wins both nino and jaffar, then they'd have a legitimate way to enter the chapter. And it's also the only way to get the Fell Contract before endgame, if they also have a thief on their team.

    One more thing, does it how we go about playing? I'm planning on using an emulator as opposed to a cart. Mine is currently full with incomplete play-throughs that I'm not willing to erase.

    Yeah, there were quite a few typoes...the only one that springs to mind is Eliwood being referred to in his R-description as leading a 'duchie'.

    Heh, I noticed this as well. I was thinking to myself it could have been worse, he could be leading a douche. That would be unpleasant.

    Oh nice work by the way Arch, pt 3 is excellent.

    Oh look, an NBA topic, awesome!

    For the tc:

    1. Kobe Bryant

    2. Dwight Howard

    3. Chris Paul

    4. Kevin Durant

    5. *sigh* I guess Lebron James, as much as I hate him.

    Now with that out of the way, does anyone follow/have a favorite team? I'd like to get some good discussion going if its possible.

    I'm a huge Lakers fan, even though I'm stuck in Lincoln, Nebraska. Still been to games in Denver, Minneapolis and OKC. I'm hoping they'll pull out of the lazy slump their in and remind everyone why they're two time NBA champs.
