I made it not happen!

I probably should fix the pictures on there sometime as well...

If you're going purely by popularity, I found an article with a poll: http://www.pcgamer.com/ranking-the-best-and-worst-of-the-mass-effect-games/

Top 5 were Garrus, Tali, Mordin, Liara, Shepard (with Wrex as number 6). I think you could make a case for a lot of characters as long as it's not someone super unpopular, but any of those 6 sound good to me.

Re: Draft Mercs - I think the format was a great idea - having a shortened version of Mercs was a nice stopgap from a full year long version. I did miss the team building aspect of it, though, and jumping right into full teams for everyone made things a bit of a headache when planning abilities (not to mention some minor ruling issues and lack of early wins really hurting my team). I would have at least played things out to the end if the finals hadn't coincided with Gen Con, but I don't think we missed out on much.

Depending on my work/life situation if/when the next Mercs game happens, I'd be up for playing again. I think I'm definitely done admining, though, unless it was in a very, very limited capacity - it wouldn't be fair to the other admins after the way M4 played out.

Baiken was a pure admin bias pick - I think she'd be fine with a few tweaks here and there. Lopen had an idea for THAT MAN that never ended up being implemented and I thought it would be fun to throw a reference to that in there. I think she's the only member of my former team that really felt shoehorned in there, since Fortune and Sub-Zero deserve spots on their own merit (Zaalbar for M5 when?).

I think (although I can't speak for everyone else) the entire admin team was shocked at how good Big ended up being - like yeah, his abilities were meant to be good to offset his terrible battle worth, but not that good. The initial bidding war was pretty shocking. So yeah, definitely not opposed to nerfs there.

I think Booker/Bioshock Infinite deserve a tad more credit than you're giving them - I still see people talking about that game several years later while I forgot there was even a new Prey game out. I think he's got unique abilities for a Gunner and he deserves to stay with some tweaks. Other than that, I think I agree with pretty much everything else - I think reading about Mercs builds is probably more entertaining for me than playing (and definitely more than admining) so thanks for going through these!

I think I agree with pretty much everything Kan said - Vincent was on the list of characters to be released eventually, but none of the admin team was familiar enough with Dirge of Cerberus to do him justice.

I made most of the Aeris build and it had some fun things in there (the 1 EXP upgrade, the Sephiroth interaction) but I don't think there's an issue with other FF7 characters taking her place.

Thinking about doing a 'should they stay or should they go?' thing, going over the M4 mercs and pondering who to cut or not. Any interest in that?

I am interested in this.

Walked into Best Buy about 45 minutes after they opened and snagged a PS4, Horizon and Assassin's Creed. Had to wait about 20 minutes to check out, but still a pretty painless experience!

Here's a list of which Mercs games every non Pure Support character has been in, sorted by the game they're from - not sure if this is useful to anyone, but I already had it made through M3, so I figured updating it wouldn't be too much trouble!

About a week later than promised, but better late than never! Probably needs another upgrade, but wanted to post what I had here. Have some ideas for a Ramona build as well.

Scott Pilgrim (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World)
Neutral Male Human
Upkeep: 3/Week
Min Bid: X GP

Scott Pilgrim is as seen at the end of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (movie and comics). He is armed with The Power of Self Respect and does not have his extra life.

...Seven Little Kisses? (On Purchase) - When Scott is purchased, randomly select six male mercs and one female merc on opposing teams. These Mercs will be considered Ramona's Exes for the purposes of Scott's other abilities. If there aren't enough Mercs to fill this criteria when Scott is purchased, the next Male or Female characters purchased after Scott up to a total of 7 will become Ramona's exes.

Seven Evil Exes (Trigger) - Whenever Scott and one of Ramona's Exes are rostered in battle together, the Ex (or Exes, if multiple are present) will prioritize defeating Scott before all other combatants. If Scott's team wins the battle, Scott will gain 1000 points times the total number of exes defeated across all weeks, up to a maximum of 7000 points (so 1000 points for the first ex, 2000 for the second, etc.). Scott can defeat the same Ex multiple times for points.


UPGRADES:

(Ability Upgrade; 10000 Points)

1up (Limited Use 1) - Whenever Scott is defeated in battle, he will respawn at the team's starting location with full knowledge of the fight so far and full health/capabilities (mana, etc.). When purchased, this ability may be kept or passed on to a teammate. This upgrade can be purchased multiple times.

(New Pre-Battle; XX EXP)

We Are Sex Bob-Omb And We're Here To Make You Think About Death And Get Sad And Stuff (Pre-Battle) - Once every three weeks, Scott will choose one of Sex Bob-Omb's songs to perform, conferring one of the following effects in battle:

We Are Sex Bob-Omb - Two randomly selected enemies (chosen post-rosters) will join Scott in actually performing this song in a neutral location in the chosen terrain after which they will fight as normal. The opposing leader may choose who will be the vocalist and who will be the drummer.
Garbage Truck - One preselected ally rides into battle in a standard garbage truck full of garbage.
Black Sheep - One randomly selected enemy will be the team's black sheep this week - they won't be informed of any pre-battle plans their team makes. In addition, while the rest of their team still won't actively work against them, the chosen enemy's safety will be the lowest priority for their teammates.
Bass Battle - Scott challenges one randomly selected enemy to a bass battle side topic. If Scott wins, the loser is KO'd. If the enemy merc wins, then Scott is KO'd, but he has a 50% chance of tricking the enemy into drinking half and half, causing them to lose any supernatural powers or abilities they have for this week's battle.
Threshold - One preselected ally and randomly selected enemy fight with extreme jealousy towards each other.
Ramona - One randomly selected enemy feels the urge to write a sappy love song towards one randomly selected female merc (chosen post rosters). They will spend the first minute of battle performing this song, after which they will fight as normal. The chosen merc also comes to battle with an acoustic guitar in addition to their normal equipment.

Scott must be rostered when using this ability. If any of Ramona's Exes are present on the opposing team, any randomly selected enemies for the chosen option are chosen from a pool of eligible Exes instead.
