here are the ground rules
each player will play every other player once.
the top seed will get a bye to the finals
seeds 2 and 3 will play to determine who plays #1.
the round robin will be open for a week (i'm aiming for friday as the start, but we can start earlier if everyone posts that they've finalized their teams)
every card in opo is allowed (except watchtower, and no homemades/DC3 cards)
we will NOT be using sum deck
you can make unlimited trades with other players up to the start of the round robin
if you don't like your team, you can ask me to choose you a new one, but you're then stuck with what you get the 2nd time
if there's any more questions, ask away
THE TEAMS
breadmaster:
poison ivy, angel: horseman, black cat (3stat), starjammers
oscorp:
thunderbird, captain marvel (dc), doc ock (3stat), storm
bios:
professor x, cyclops (3stat), havok: mutant x, apocalypse (3stat)
demacus:
white queen, storm: bloodstorm, blob, xaos
steve:
polaris, angel: horseman, beast the brute, vision
some interesting teams here...i'm suspecting one will demand a new one though ;)
Interesting team set up. I'll see what I can do with that, but if anyone's interested in Blob, he's the only sore thumb I see, but he HAS potential.
i'd trade blob for ivy...i could use his 6s to back up angels, and you could use ivy's 6i to back up emmas
the specials are unbalanced though, so your call
it's crazy how 3 of us got teams with unifying stats
Are we allowed battlesites or do we have to use Any Characters?
either
also, i forgot to mention in the first post
in the event of tied records, the tiebreaker is head to head winner
if it's a multiple way tie, whoever beat players with most combined wins advances
I'll trade Blob for Poison Ivy.
groovy, it's a deal then
if anybody wants my brute(im sure someone[oscorp] will want a negate character) i may trade him
im no hurry to build my deck

possible oscorp team after trade with me
hey bios.....want polaris?
Hey guys,
I've been busy these past few weeks, but count me in, I'll find the time to squeeze a few rounds in.
-BBH.
Hey Oscorp, looks like Storm is a major odd-man-out. Can I trade for Storm and have 2 Storms on my team?
White Queen or Poison Ivy..?
dem: no, you can't have 2 storms on your team
i almost went that it was ok, because when i did the random draws, someone got 3 stat and 4stat super skrull on the same team, but i decided just to redraw for that one
bbh, sure. here's your team
venom, captain america (3stat), steel, catwoman (holo)
BLAST! lol... Ok. I think I have a plan anyways... It may not be a GOOD plan, but a plan non-the-less. lol
Dem I would have switched ya storm for Blob... but I guess I was late to the Blob dance.
Steve you really want to trade me Beast the Brute for 3 stat Doc Ock? I would be totally up for that.
sorry guys
i wont be able to play unless we can somehow coordinate the 3 hour time difference
a.m canada time i can do
My team appears to be ready. I will not be available tonight, however, but should be wide open in the evenings (east coast) over the next few days. I'd like to have all my games in before Thursday if possible.
ok, so all teams are finalized
games can start any time
deadline is next friday at midnight (saturday 12am eastern)
good luck!
did my trade go through?
go with my original team?
Will build my deck tonight and be ready for games tomorrow. Just making sure.. I'm Captain Marvel (DC) Doc Ock (3 Stat) Thunderbird and Storm right?
i say our trade goes though
i say so cause i need to build my team
Alright I will build one of each just in case Bread throws the banhammer down on this...
i already made my after trade deck
Hey Steve how do you contact people to play games? Do you use MSN or Hamatchi or something else?
i use msn
or message me here
what's your MSN contact info, I'm around all morning if you want to get a game in. I live in Saskatchewan, local time is 10:40 AM here.

stevo2275@hotmail.com
steve2275@hotmail.com
either of those
added you.
im getting ready for bbh
and its over
techical difficulties for me and oscorp...will try again later
the reason i didn't want to allow the trade, was that steve indicated to me he wasn't going to play after all
since he is, then the trade is ok
(though i'm not sure what the benefit of trading brute for ock is...)
Doc has some good attack specials that would be an advantage over Beast if you aren't going to use the negate.
Doc does have some offensive tricks that could get nasty. I used to LOVE using Doc Oct. He was on almost every deck I build for a LONG time back in the day.
EDIT: Breadmaster and I played our game last night. He is up 1-0, and I'm 0-1. Who's next?
Lost a tight one to Bread today, made a couple of bone head moves... but he very much deserved to win. Watch out boys, he's going to be tough to beat with there being so few negate characters.
yep, played steve, demacus and oscorp today
managed to escape with 3 wins
bread kicked my ass
i still need to face bios demacus and oscorp
demacus an i had the same issue as i did with oscorp (being unable to host)
I can host if you set up Hamachi. Don't know why I can't host otherwise though...
I have also been able to hook up through Hamatchi
pulled out a win vs bios tonight
breadmaster 4-0
bbh 1-0
oscorp 0-1
bios 0-1
steve 0-2
i have it now so....
managed to eke past bbh in a squeaker
breadmaster 5-0
bbh 1-1
oscorp 0-1
bios 0-1
steve 0-2

watching this one from the sidelines makes me think 2 things:
1. I'm glad I sat out, as it seems I would not have done well.
2. It's making me feel better that I've lost so much to breadmaster in the past :-[
i think this is a function of the team i drew
i've never used starjammers before, so i see why they're so loved/hated
as oscorp said, i got 3 'must negate' cards, and most teams only have 1 negate
Played BBH tonight. managed to squeek out a win in the power pack. Actually the game crashed when we were both down to the bitter end... I just had storm with the Strength boost artifact and a strength and fighting power card hit. He had steel with 18 points of damage and Venom with an intellect and a fighting hit.
The game crashed in a battle that he had bet 3 and I had bet 1 but I was probably going to win venture, setting him back... he chose to concede the game rather than battle it out for who knows how long (so really I very well may not have won at all)
Thanks for playing Harve! Hope to get another game in soon!
way to go dude
u did what i couldnt
and you slaughtered me
okay, that just leaves dem and bios to finish their matches
breadmaster 5-0
oscorp 2-1
bbh 1-2
bios 0-1
steve 0-3
though it seems unlikey all the games will get in before tomorrow night
I apologize for my absence. My wife took ill and I have been nursing her all week. I should be on tonight after 5pm EST. If anyone can play, I'll turn on Hamatchi and MSG messenger.
no apologies necessary, dem
i believe it was ncann who said 'family takes priority over overpower any day'
So I need Steve, Harv, Bios and Oscorp?
Played Steve last night and Dem this evening. Lucked into an awesome first hand against Steve and Bet 4.. he had to concede. Used my placed cards and a bad draw for Steve to bet 3 in round two and won the game.
Dem and I went to the last hand before the power pack, trading hits and KOs the whole way... but I had built up a venture advantage and took it in the end.
3-1 Just Bios left.
Let me know a good time to be online Bios and I will be sure to look for you!
ok, that concludes the round robin portion of the tourney
final standings
breadmaster 5-0
oscorp 3-1
bbh 1-2
bios 0-1
demacus 0-2
steve 0-3
so oscorp and bbh face off, with the winner facing breadmaster in the finals
good luck!
No update on the BBH/Oscorp for the semi-finals yet?
no, not yet
I haven't run into him online lately, but we don't share time zones.... BBH let me know a good night for you and I will do my best to be there!
Late update!!!.. I played BBH a couple of nights ago and lost out to him...it was a back and forth game in which we both had chances to venture for the win, with him winning in the end.
Thanks for the game and good luck to both you and Bread in the final.
well, this baby wrapped up
bbh def oscorp in the semis
breadmaster def bbh in the finals
thanks again, to all who participated!
congrats! glad you guys had fun :)
Been a while since I've logged in. Finally got back my home computer service so I should drop in more often once more. Anyway, congrats to BM for winning the OPO Cup 4. :)
