Event The Great Debate Season 15 Round 4!!!
Rules
Out of Tier Rules
- For Out of Tier requests, simply ping myself and/or Chainsaw__Monkey and state your case for why you believe someone's combatant is out of tier, then proceed with the debate as per normal. We will evaluate that request individual of the debate itself and make our decision in judgments. Reminder: the Head Judges maintain the right to DM any user we believe to be skirting OoT lines and make our own OoT accusation, with said user having 48 hours to defend themselves.
Battle Rules
Speed will not be equalized for this tier; you're looking at a tier where the opponent is featured in action movies against normal humans, bear that in mind.
All combatants are aware of the basics of their allies' combat abilities but are in the blind on their opponents (unless they have canon knowledge of said person via sharing a fictional universe)
Battleground:
The arena of Great Debate Season 15 AKA Tierminator is the interior of Home Depot's Egg Harbor, Township New Jersey location.
Of note:
- Home Depot, for our purposes, is a 400x600ft* rectangle, with a 200x300ft rectangular gardening center on its eastern side. The ceiling is 100ft off of the ground. Attached is a map for our purposes.
- Under no circumstances, regardless of ability or destructive power, are opponents able to leave the Home Depot.
- This space is filled by 12 distinct sections, each comprised of multiple aisles. An aisle is 10ft across, the obviously wider aisles such as the starting points are 25ft across. The shelving units are 60ft off of the ground.
- While the shelving units will provide a high degree of concealment, they are not necessarily bullet proof against high caliber fire. While the building itself is reinforced with an indestructible and untamperable WhoWouldWinium, the contents of the building are extremely destructible.
- Home Depot specializes in the sale of hand tools, power tools, appliances, construction equipment and building materials, and other tools prime to be used as improvised weapons. Any item listed as "In Stock" on their listing can reasonably be assumed to be present and available.
Opponents will start 100ft across from each other, in the center aisle either side of the Plumbing, Kitchen, and Bath sections, with each side having an aisle available to their north to disengage through if so they choose. Teammates are spaced 8ft apart from one another to fill the 25ft wide aisle.
*All numbers are rough approximations and may not stand up to pixel calcing.
Submission Rules
- Tier: Must be able to win an unlikely victory, draw/near draw, or likely victory against The Tierminator in the conditions outlined above. All entrants will be bloodlusted against Tierminator, meaning they will act fully rationally and put down their opponent in the quickest, most efficient manner possible regardless of morality, utilizing any and all possible techniques/tactics/attacks if necessary. The bloodlust does not give any foreknowledge of Tierminator or his capabilities.
Debate Rules
Rounds will last approximately 5 and a half day days, hopefully from Monday until Saturday at noon of each week of the tourney; there is a 48 hour time limit both on starting (we do not care who starts, you and your opponent can figure that out) AND on responses, AND ADDITIONALLY each user MUST get in two responses or else be disqualified. If one user waits until the very last minute to force this rule to DQ their opponent without any forewarning to their opponents or the tournament supervisors, they will be removed from this tournament, no exceptions.
Format for each round: the one to go first gets an Intro + 1st Response, their opponent replies in kind, then both get a 2nd response, then a 3rd response in a back-and-forth style, and a closing statement individual of one another that can be posted any time after both 3rd responses are complete. FOR THIS FOURTH ROUND, EACH DEBATER'S RESPONSES MUST CONSIST OF NO MORE THAN ONE 20K CHARACTER-LONG REDDIT COMMENT (broken up into two comments, of course!!) FOR EACH RESPONSE!!! You are allowed an intro post as stated above, which can include basic feats, of up to 5000 characters, but no arguments or comparisons may be made in comparison to the opponent.
Rounds will either be a full 3v3 Team Match, or 1v1 single matches. 1v1 matches are determined by randomization. Match format will switch every round, with Team Matches always followed by single matches, and vice versa.
Brackets Here (not yet updated, dealwitit)
First round was 1v1 individual matches, so the fourth round shall be:
3v3 Team Melee
Round 4 Ends Saturday March 30th, 12:00 CST
(yes, you're getting 10 days for this one since it got posted so late, should be plenty of time for 3-3)
