Gradivus Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Credit goes to Life for bringing it over from Gamefaqs. Credit to i_eat_tables for the idea. Originated at GFAQs and was pretty much a hit. Basically, five people will enter in a drafting pool. One by one (in predefined order), each participant in this pool will choose one character from the list of selectable characters. There will be 40 characters available in all, so each participant will be able to select a total of 8. Once this is done, the real tournament starts. The objective is to complete Hector Hard Mode (no Lyn Mode beforehand) as fast as possible (in terms of total turns used) using ONLY your drafted team of characters and a choice few that are allowed for everyone. The other characters you may not use (not even to support your characters with) except for: - Meatshielding (without weapons) - Rescuing non-drafted characters (but NOT characters you have drafted; this is basically so you can protect frail characters) - Holding weapons and items - Recruiting other characters Another exception is that Matthew (and only Matthew) is allowed to open chests and steal items even if you haven't drafted him. You can still draft him normally to be on your combat team. If you, for some reason, fail to abide by these rules, then you have to incur a four turn penalty for every character you've used for a purpose other than one listed above per chapter. As in the previous drafting tournament, this is four turns regardless of the importance or frequency of the foul committed. Like Kent can solo a chapter (4+ turns) or can rescue Lyn once (4+ turns). During your run, you are expected to keep track of your total turn count and report often on your progress in some detail. If you don't, it might be mistaken for inactivity and thus grounds for disqualification. You are also expected to play fair. If you cheat, shame on you! All gaidens must be visited with the exception of 23x, 28x, and obviously 19xx. They do in fact count towards the turncount. The first five people to sign up will enter a drafting pool. You will be randomly positioned in the pool (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5). The order of drafting will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, ... until all 40 characters have been drafted. Characters allowed for everyone to use are Hector, Marcus (Only when forced, up to and including chapter 15), Merlinus and Athos. This will be done on HNM.

Grace Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Oh good, a HNM run. HHM is far too hard for a draft. I'm game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Not to mention that most people don't finish HHM drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradivus Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Radiant Dragon, you are up. The random number generator generated 5,4,3,2,1 in that order, so the order will be: Radiant Dragon frat_tastic Mist General_Horace Gradivus. Let's Go.

General Horace Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Marcus and Athos are still in the OP, Gradivus. And are Ninils two characters, or one? Otherwise, Radiant Dragon will have one less character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant Dragon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'll pick Priscilla, and hope I don't screw myself over for picking a healer first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradivus Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I made Ninis two separate characters so everyone will have an equal # of units. Unless there are any objections... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
