Bah, my local Edyit went out of business. This must be the corporate version. I guess it did a nice job coming up with this tourny. =)

can skills be trained?

RichardRahl{Kill Gun} October 5 2007 12:13 PM EDT

unlimited ba should mean free ba......

Dark Dreky October 5 2007 12:23 PM EDT

Not crazy about the unlimited BA. Basically, whoever started first and sets their alarms wins.... meh.

there are still many tourney characters with enchantments trained as of this time. am i correct in reading it that no enchantments are allowed at all?

Admindudemus [jabberwocky] October 5 2007 2:26 PM EDT

if it is midnight when we can no longer have enchantments, i would suggest using noon or midnight to avoid time ambiguity as described in this paragraph from the nist web site.

"Are noon and midnight 12 a.m. or 12 p.m.?

This is perhaps the trickiest time question of them all. The best answer is that the terms 12 a.m. and 12 p.m. cause confusion and should not be used.

To illustrate this, consider that "a.m." and "p.m." are abbreviations for "ante meridiem" and "post meridiem." They mean "before noon" and "after noon," respectively. Of course, noon is neither before nor after noon; it is simply noon. Therefore, neither the "a.m." nor "p.m." designation is correct. On the other hand, midnight is both 12 hours before noon and 12 hours after noon. Therefore, either 12 a.m. or 12 p.m. could work as a designation for midnight, but both would be ambiguous.

To get around the problem, the terms 12 noon and 12 midnight should be used instead of 12 a.m. and 12 p.m. For example, a bank might be open on Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. Or, a grocery store might be open daily until midnight. If you are making schedules, times such as 12:01 a.m. (one minute after midnight), or 11:59 p.m. (one minute before midnight) also can eliminate ambiguity. This method is used by the railroads and airlines."

I meant noon, however since the post was put up late I am being lenient and chat mailing everyone who is in violation of the rule before I disqualify their characters

and yes, no enchantments at all

thanks for the reply...what about skills?

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] October 5 2007 4:49 PM EDT

skills are OK

QBRanger October 5 2007 4:56 PM EDT

What skills would a mage use?

There are no tattoos or tanks. Remember one cannot evade a MM or FB.

Cube October 5 2007 4:58 PM EDT

Phantom Link?

Admindudemus [jabberwocky] October 5 2007 5:02 PM EDT

pl is what i was wondering about, in case i add a coc mage and make sure my coc guy stays alive for the non-ranged. i have never really used it though so not sure if i will do that yet.

QBRanger October 5 2007 5:08 PM EDT

Ah yes, PL.

Forgot about that.
