There are way to many tasks that favor the decepticons/preds and few that favor the autobots/maximals. At least give us a better chance to compete.

Which ones do you feel are unfair?

I will start off by mentioning that all my characters are low level and I would not know if at higher levels some of the autobots tasks would become "easier" or more common but it is my experience that alot of these decept/pred tasks happen all the time compared to much less frequently for the autobo/maximals.

Some of these are small things such as all decept/preds changing the colour of their alt modes so that none are red while alot of auto/maxis might be reluctant to change their character names. And damn there are alot of Primes

The tasks that stand out to me at least, maybe others don't feel the same, as being tilted in favor of the decpts/preds are:

The rest I view as being a wash or not really a big difference with maybe a couple favoring the auto/maxis

I do think that this tourney is a great idea and thank you for the effort you have put into it. I just fell there are balancing issues.

Looking forward to winning this tournament

It seems like I have seen these tasks somewhere before...

I have made a few edits, I hope the list seems more balanced and more interesting now.

Thanks it appears to be more balanced now.

One thing I want to mention is that this task

TASK SEVEN

Autobot/Maximal - OVERKILL:
Ram an opponent into stasis lock.

Decepticon/Predacon – FIELD PROMOTION:
Be the highest level character on your side in a mission. Joint highest does not count.

is a guaranteed completion for the decept/pred side in every mission they participate in.

Also who will be scoring this and how do we report a completion of a task?

I suspect JP will be making a template for you to fill out as you go. Editing it each time you complete the task.

LOL I look forward to ignoring all other facets of my life in order to constantly edit that list

No it's not, most missions have several joint-highest characters, except the odd time we see a lvl 11. But if I change it from "on your side" to "in the mission" that should make it more fair.
And yes, I'll have a standardised claims sheet to fill in for you, which I'll post when OS and I determine a starting date for this.
Bugger just needs to show up now.

Regarding the mission that sounds better. Thanks again for your effort.

Yep, twins separated at birth. Though that doesnt explain how I am 11 years older.

im throwing in the towel now but i will try. good luck to the inevitable con who wins

Oh I am so there.

You know I'm in, this'll be fun

I'll join in this when the time comes. sounds pretty fun. I'm also going to guess that by the sounds of it, we'll fill out this "form" and then turn it in when the tourney ends?

I guess the form's gonna be in a reply, which you can quote&edit when you accomplish a task.

Anyway, this is gonna be interesting.
