Your pitch has nothing to do with anyone else's. If you kill someone in your pitch, it has no bearing on theirs.

Note: Please do not do something akin to "Apocalypse takes over the world and now we're in the Age of Apocalypse but just set in the 616", which is just creating an alternate reality.

Also, doing the math, I'm only going to make the participation rule that you have to have every character must be out of at least two matches and in at least three matches.

I'm fine with this. The only limitation is that other characters cannot be on a team or funding a team, or directing a team, etc.

To clarify this only applies to the fight section yea? Or does your pitch also only use six of the ten at a time?

Yes, sorry, I'll fix that in a new thread. Fights are always six-on-six. Pitches are always all-inclusive.

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

The rules were posted at the beginning, if you read them. Nothing here changes any of those rules.

I'm just honing in on what the playing field will look like (which is all stuff I'm sure everyone was expecting, but it just needs to be explicitly listed for the benefit of preventing someone attempting to game the system), and how people should format their pitches, none of which is affected by the drafting process.

EDIT: The only real change here is potentially changing how long rounds last because otherwise this might drag out, and that's not set in stone yet.

Uhhhh. Hmmm. Well hopefully I don't skirt this one too much. I'm hoping it's just a general "don't square peg a team together that doesn't make sense based on their characters and handwave it by saying 'this is an alternate reality'" more than anything.

Yes, that's what we're trying to avoid.

I know we want to avoid giant walls of text, but the "one paragraph (no more than two)" for pitch length, isn't that a struggle? Especially for fitting 10 characters in there?

I was envisioning a pretty thorough explanation of what I was planning, damn... I guess I'll really try to boil it down to two (overloaded) paragraphs.

I guess I'm willing to remove the "mention every character by name" part.

If you were pitching at a look-see meeting, you'd be asked to boil down the concept very quickly in person. And walls of text are always a bad thing in comics.

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

Rules:

1) Players are divided into two divisions. Each round, players will face one opponent in two categories. These categories are: "Fight" and "Pitch".
2) "Fight" matches should be voted on with the following criteria: "Who would win in a fight?"
-Characters are expected to have the abilities (and limitations) from their last living appearance.
-All fights will take place on a habitable uncolonized moon of Saturn where there is a temperate climate, water, air, flora, fauna, etc.
-Teams are kept in an isolated, impenetrable chamber prior to the beginning of conflict and are unaware of their opponents until the fight begins.
-The only directive supplied to these teams is that they must defeat their opponents. If the do not attempt to do so, Earth will be destroyed.
-Voters should consider the potential conflicts within teams as a factor (can characters with negative relationships work together), as well as the intelligence of the characters, resourcefulness, etc.
3) "Pitch" matches should be voted on with the following criteria: "Which pitch would make a better series?"
-All pitches must take place in the Marvel Universe (616). No alternate realities or future skips, etc. It must take place alongside the rest of Marvel continuity.
-All characters drafted must be included in the pitch, although you may simply namedrop them. But no character can be skipped.
-Voters should consider team name, roster, cohesiveness, quality of concept, and whether the team fits with the concept, among any other criteria they wish to consider.
-Voters should NOT consider whether a dead character is suddenly alive in this pitch. Voters SHOULD consider other aspects of team status; if characters would make sense working together, if characters have abilities that are mutually exclusive, etc.
-Pitches should be one paragraph (No more than two).
-Players can rewrite/rework their pitches between each round.
4) Anyone who is not involved in a specific match can vote for either team in either category. The player with the most votes in one of the categories will get a win in said category.
5) After each player has faced seven opponents, the players with the best "Fight" records in each division will face off and the players with the best "Pitch" records will face off.
6) Rosters each week will be made up ONLY of 6 members of the team. Every character must be active against at least three distinct opponents. Every character must also be inactive against at least three distinct opponents.
9) Between rounds, players may make one-for-one trades with any other player.
10) Rosters must always house exactly ten members.
