aCe Board Tourney Question

[BDS]

Okay, I'm going to try to have two tag team matches on everyone's card, and they'll be worth extra points. This is to give an advantage to the wrestlers that are part of an actual tag team, like Krypt and Jakyll, to try to give them a little boost since they're weaker in singles action.

So, there are two questions at hand about how to handle the teams for wrestlers that don't have an established tag team partner ...

1.) Should partners be determined randomly from their own faction, or randomly from the entire roster? IE, should there be a chance that Aegis has to team with Murdok?

2.) Each wrestler is going to be in multiple tag matches. If they don't have an established partner, should they get a different partner for each match or keep the same one for all of them?

Please vote as you get a chance. I'll set the tourney up based upon the most popular choice. Thanks, everyone!

Keep with some continuity, same faction same partner.

I really think regular tag partners should be together.

[BDS]

Regular tag partners will be together, no matter what. This is only for people who don't have a tag partner in the tourney.

[gatekeeper]

Choose from their factoin and should remain the same the same for each match. (choice 4)

If official tag-teams will be intact for each match, it only makes sense to have non-official tag wrestlers from the same faction tag up with guys from their group and keep them for each match.

It would be hard to have consistency if they switch up partners each match. IMO

[swarm]

same faction. no doubt.

[rockajabroney]

keep it simple, same faction, same team mates!

Looks like we all agree. If EVERYONE is going to be in some sort of team, Here's what I would go with for teams:

ROC:

Aegis/Hustler
Exodus/Lance (just because they're both too goody goody for Hustler)
Specialist

Ravagers:
Cyber Union
Warfare/Hybrid (Warfare's a team player, so he be willing)
Ravager Outcasts of Ventross/Nemean

Primus
Darkness Falls
Tough call here... I'm tempted to say go with Rankor/Avarice then Paganax/Flatliner, buy Rankor/Flatliner would make sense too

Crusade:
Holy Crusade
Living Dead
Gheist/PM

Odd Tek and Sycophant went unclaimed...both new guys with cool art...ah well

Of Course, if you already have a plan. BDSjust ignore my post... just thought it would be good for discussion since the poll is pretty well decided.

[bdsskeeper]

So why exactly did you tell me I needed to vote?

[BDS]

Yeah, discussion is good, because this one seems to be in the books. I agree with most of what you have there. The ROC seems to be spot on, for the reasons you mentioned, and likewise with the Crusade.

For the Ravagers, though, I'll probably put Ventross and Warfare together, since the 2120 book says they still team occasionally, and Nemean just gets the short end and teams with Hybrid.

With Primus, I'd think that the best parings would be Rankor/Paganax and Flatliner/Avarice. Of the Syndicate, Rankor would probably be the one that Paganax would be the most comfortable with since he's been with Primus the longest.

If we do it that way, we've got the following teams:

The Specialists*
Aegis & Hustler
Exodus & Lance At-Las

The Cyber-Union*
Warfare & Ventross
Nemean & Hybrid

Darkness Falls*
Paganax & General Rankor
Flatliner & Avarice

Living Dead*
Murdok and Godsend
PainMaster and Gheist

*Official tag team according to the 2120 book and gets all of the appropriate bonuses. Holy Crusade isn't listed as official any more, so no bonuses for them. Murdok and Godsend don't need the help, anyway.

Ravager Outcasts of Ventross/Nemean

Looking two cards into the future of my fed, I've got these two guys teamed using this exact name. There's going to be a Neman Show for it and everything. Have it known that I'm shaking my fist at you from my PC here for beating me to the draw.

[Wildfire]

I've said it before... great minds think alike

One side story I intend on working on when I get there is the Mentor/Student relationship between Ventross and Nemean.. lot of good stories there, IMO. Him teaming with Warfare is a better team, of course.

As far as PRimus goes, I kinda think Flatliner is too much of a lacky for Avarice to be willing to team with him, but you make a good point about Paganax. Definately a tough call.

[BDS]

We'll be going in slightly different directions with our Ravager Outcasts, then, but it's still a great name.

I might just end up rolling dice on the Primus team, I dunno. I'm going to try to work on getting everything set up for a little bit tonight if my workload allows it, so we'll see how it goes.

Well, the other route you could go is Nemean could be Chester to Ventross' Spike, but I don' t like that as much.

(Assuming y'all know Bugs Bunny)

[BDS]

Not quite that either, although that's one of the funniest visuals I've had in a long time.

[Wildfire]

Aw C'mon, the promo could be awesome:

Nemean: Hey Ventross, how bout we go smash some zombies, huh, huh?

Ventross: Nah.

(Ventross knocks Nemean across the ring into the crowd)

Nemean: yeah, sure sure, how about some tribesman, huh? It also makes you feel better when you lay the smack down on them...

(Ventross thinks a minute, then whaps him again)

Ventross: Nah.

[Bazzy]

I go off whats laid down in the booklets and stick with teams like Darkness Falls , Nuborn Destruction , Light Brigade etc But you can do what the hell YOU want . If you prefer say Avarice & Jakyll than Krypt & Jakyll then go for it . Or even General Rankor & Paganax to Krypt & Jakyll , then why not ?

[theace4ever]

voted same faction here

[GrumpyBigBee]

Choose from faction, same each match

[blueraider1]

ditto

[Avarice]

I'll go with that majority, it sounds like the best one to me any how.
