Saturday Sealed Scrimmage

With the balance update being delayed a week, and sealed 4v4 being implemented soon, I figure people might want to try this instead of fighting more R/As. [Image: rolleyes.gif] We also did fairly well fielding an RB and AB team at the last minute for last friday. I think it would be great to run sealed deck format in a little more casual/easygoing setup, that encourages people to make their own builds. So without further ado here's the format:

- 6v6, with one character of each core class per team. (W, Me, Mo, R, N, E) If less than 12 people are involved, we will remove characters to keep both teams identical. If there is enough demand then we can go to 8v8 adding the factions professions.
- Full GvG with flagstand, kill the lord, etc. No judges or observers.
- Both teams will build from the same pool/deck of skills randomly chosen by the Kisu generator. You can see a sample build here, but the actual pool will not be created until the start of the event.
- You must build a skill bar with just the PRIMARY skills in the pool. So the warrior must choose from the randomly allotted warrior skills, etc.
- In addition, each character may bring ressurection signet, and they may "wildcard" one core non-elite skill from their class, even if it isn't in the pool . Rangers may also add charm animal if they equip a beast mastery skill.
- For 6v6 and down, skills will be limited to core + prophecies. For 8v8 it will be core + factions.
- At the start of the event, the pool will be given out, which both teams will use. There will be only 10 minutes to build. Team discussion is encouraged, but each participant will need to at least start building their own bar from the pool.

While PvP slots are incredibly convenient and useful, you could bring a well-developed PvE character that has most or all of their primary skills unlocked and participate. With a pvp slot you can save balthazar faction to buy any skills you need to unlock on the spot, although I'll also have flames of balthazar on hand to facilitate unlocks as needed.

We'll meet for a round starting Saturday at 3 PM EDT. Additional rounds depending on participant interest.

Signups are encouraged if you want to reserve your preferred class, although drop-ins that are familiar with the rules are also welcome if there is space and they play whatever's left. We will try to make newcomers especially comfortable on their chosen class, and roughly balance the skill levels across teams. To signup, simply rank 3 choices for the class you would most like to play. E.G. for myself:

1. Monk
2. Ele
3. Necro

This is an AB-RB event so this is crossposted here. You can sign up at either place.

I would love to participate, but I'm likely off on another cross country jaunt this weekend. However, I will be in for future events, and if for any reason my plans get interupted, well......we'll just see if there's a space.
