OK, we have drafting in Tactics, but I was wondering how the characters would be drafted in different sports and events. So here is my idea. The first 8 people to sign up in this thread will be the captain of their teams. After we have our 8 captains, I will say what sport we are playing, and the draft will begin. When it is your turn, say what character's deck you are darfting, and, more importantly, why you drafted them. After the teams are drafted, we will have a vote to see which team wins each round. Fun? I think so! So, who are our captains.
EDIT: All the info you need is here. When it is your turn (hopefully, the document will say so correctly), select your name by the deck you want, and, hopefully, everything should be updated. Also, post in this thread who you picked and why. Also, pick a team name!

I'm in, and I'm first picking omnitron. No matter what sport you play, he player that can sit on over half the court/field/rink/etc. wins.
I don't think you get to draft yet, Skippy. I guess I'll also play.
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
Woohoo! First one! Ok, to encourage people to join, when you join you can pick your first player. Once, aeveryone picks we will reverse the order (just like real sports). So, what game are we playing.......DODGEBALL!!! There will be 5 characters per team.
EDIT: Nielzabub, changed the rules a bit, pick your first character.

YES! Omnitron will crush at Dodgeball. Balls that are disintigrated can't hit you. Plus if he gets hit once he's immune to that type of attack for the rest of the game, all I need is someone to catch a ball and get him back in, he'll be invincible!
Although Line fouls might be a bit of a problem.
EDIT: One Question: Does an Interpolation beam count as catching?
I'll choose Tachyon to play for my team for obvious reasons.
Skippy, just because you're immune to an attack doesn't mean it can't hit you. Omnitron doesn't have to take damage from the ball, he just has to be hit by it. The disintegration ray is a problem, but I'm sure Tachyon can throw more balls than he can destroy at once.

Interpolation Beam catches all the balls, you lose.
Interpolation Beam still has to be shot out of Omnitron. I think Tachy can still find a way around that.

Sure I'm in.

I think I'll go with Absolute Zero. Prepare for a true frozen tundra.

Ambuscade. Can't hit what you can't see.
Since it radiates in all directions from Omnitron good luck.
Edit. Visionary. Not blade
Those Lightning Reflexes go a long way. Thanks for the good wishes. Good to know that good sportsmanship still exists in this day and age.

Yeah, and don't worry about the audience being replaced by automaton Drones. Just rest assured that Omnitron is all about sportsmanship and
annihilating all humansfair play.He's a cylon!

I actually have a question about team characters. If the Sentinels were picked, would they count as 1 player or as 4? Would picking La Capitain or Citizen Dawn automatically get access to their crew and citizens?
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
Ok, official ruling here. You pick one deck, not character. So, phantaskippy will have access to all the drones and EPE. Also, for those characters that have promo cards, you can pick which promo you are.

HAHAHA I have drones!
For the next round, before you start picking villains with a lot of minions, keep in mind that many of the villains won't work well together. They aren't used to working as a team like the heroes (well except for the V5).
Of course, you don't have to convince me that your team works, you have to convince everybody.

I'm in with Parse. Show me a shot she can't make or see coming. I dare you.

What order are we doing the second round?
Just curious since one specific player {cough} committed to this endeavor before knowing the sport or rules.
Reverse order. Sorry.

Boo. Sucks to be me. How many on each team total?
5, since it is an odd number, the advantage is yours.

Yeah, Legacy wins. He redirects all the dodgeballs to himself, even when sitting on the sidelines!
EDIT: As I'm last I'm also first! Legacy picks Tempest, so the game can be called on account of tornado if things turn badly for our team.
Can we get a list up somewhere with the decks still available to be drafted?

So we are back to Meerkat for his second pick.
Lead From the Front only redirects damage from villains. It will still definitely be a huge advantage, but it won't completely negate all the balls being thrown at your team.

Omnitron and myself prefer the 5 -ate's of Dodgeball: Disintigrate, Interpolate, Aniihilate, Exterminate and Disintigrate.
It's like a cross of Patches O'Houlihan and that one stretch where the Daleks got super-annoying.
Anyone throwing a ball at Legacy is a villain!

If the ball accidentally hits Legacy because we were trying to hit someone else, then they're not really throwing the ball at him. Also, since Legacy is on your team, that makes him Jerk Legacy and hitting him with a ball is doing the world a public service.

Maybe.

Can I join? I want Nightmist. Redirecting balls and turning into mist? Yes, please!
McBehrer is the sole winner of this game... And McBehrer, I would step carefully should you find your way down dark alleys. More than one vote said simply, "McBehrer must die."
McBehrer confirmed to be Biomancer!

Setback! He could do excellently, if he's lucky...

Ugh....really sorry about this. I initially aetup up eight teams to make the rounds easier, and now we already have dradts going back and forth. If this works out, you get a spot in the bext one.

Proletariat. He's just gonna swarm and peoples Hammer all the balls back as Visionary demoralizes the other team, Wrests their minds, and stop balls in mid air
This is gonna be too easy...

Since this seems to be going to well, let me explain what will happen after the teams are drafted. After all the teams are made, I will setup a bracket. For each round of the bracket, the captains will give a narrative/description of what happened in the game and how their team won. Then, we will put the vote to the community. Each person can vote on which narrative was the real one. The team with the most votes moves on to the next round, where they will post a new narrative. I probably should have asked them first, but GtG will decide which teams wins on the last round, and crown one team the ultimate champions of SotM dodgeball.
Since this isn't a professional league, you are allowed to bribe and threaten people to vote for you.

Omnitron promises to spare the lives of humans that vote for Omnitron. Omnitron will be victorious, join team Omnitron today!
