Tourney of the Dead?

If this has already been asked I missed it. Anyone know if this mail-in is having a tourney of the dead? Twisted Evil

Yes it has been confirmed as far as I know!

New question:
Is there a time limit to how long a warrior can be dead and fight in the tourney?

Also, will we get mini overviews for all our dead warriors?

It has been confirmed. There is no time limit on how long a warrior has been dead, but if he died with 0 FE there's a chance he's not in the database (you don't get FE for a fight where you die, so this is for warriors who died 0-1 or who died in the first round of a rookies tournament).

You'll get mini-overviews for all your dead warriors for any active team. If you have dead ones on an inactive team that you want to run, you'll have to request the mini if you need it.

Thanks, I'd appreciate if none of you sent any to the dead tournament, that's where all my good warriors are. Evil or Very Mad

I've got a lunger in dead Champs with 102 learned skills, 3 Admasters, a Master, and an AE....I'm running him and I'd prefer if your guys would kindly just roll over for him. Wink

And for the record, from everything I hear, this guy actually only has an outside shot at a TV here, where he could have honestly TC'd champs at the FTF.

I hope those Admasters are in Parry, Riposte, and Init, and he is Master Decise, and AE Attack.... I guess I'm hoping for too much.

I've got a PR with 72FE and 177 total skills that I would like to see return. She TVed Champs 3 times and had TVed for her 4th time when she got killed in the run-offs. The only other Dead tourney she fought in she went 3-0 before being killed again. I'm hoping that you are wrong about this outside chance stuff. With any luck since RSI has been having the dead tourney every year (which I like btw) most of the best warriors are already in AD.

Ratings are everything but parry, in more or less the obvious places.

I'm hoping I'm wrong about that outside shot, too, but Alfredo has failed to get a 115-learn 170 skill slasher back 3 times now.

Right now, your LU (that starts with "H" so you know which one I'm talking about) is on my "watch" in terms of possible Dead Champs TCs. I can't imagine you not making it out.

The problem with the dead champs is that the disparity in skills were so large...that it was truly about matchups. But I think as we have Dead Tourneys every year, the good warriors are totally being weeded out a lot quicker. (And with the Champs cutoffs lower, people that are dying are not as good) Last dead tourney, we had a bunch of old timers that finally made it out. And RSI prevented people from going back in by sucking them off. I think this Dead Champs will be a lot easier.

Who else is on that list? If you don't mind of course. Wink

A Slasher that died at the last FtF, One of my Dead Champs Sandbaggers, and a couple of other long time Dead Champs guys that didn't come back the last time. (A ST and LU)

If you think there's one I'm missing, I'll listen. Smile

I'm just trying to gauge my warrior's chances of coming back. I usually have a pretty good feel as to what my warrior can or can't do in most tourneys. Since I've been away for a while that ability has faded a bit but I've got a good feeling with my warrior. At least in terms of TVing the Dead Champs.

You know, that lunger Manager and I are discussing is the only one I truly WANT out of the dead guys I'll be running. The rest would be nice, but that's different. What's funny, though, is that I was more put out by the 7 turns of ADM training he'll miss (assuming that he makes it back) than by the death itself. I had been planning on sending him to Tempe with 4 trains in wit and will and up to 3 in con. Trust me, he'd have been a monster.

I think Microburst has a good shot to TC the dead champs.
