Dear Klatteja (which is OBVIOUSLY an anagram of Ajettalk),
First to your questions...
1) Yes, ALL the characters I run are part of my tournament. I have tried running non-tourney characters in the past (specifically to partner with my son's characters) but I have consistently felt like I was "Wasting my time" with them. This was later reinforced by my son's comment that I "waste too much time slotting and planning out strategies against enemies... I jus' wanna kill stuff!" He now is the PUG-Master and teams with me only if I beg him for very specific purposes.
2) I have never really felt the oppressive "Why Bother?" emotion even when I know I'll be dropping the axe in the next week or so. Couple reasons for this... First I LOVE playing the game, the tournament is just my way of amping up the fun. Second, since I recycle my characters I enjoy seeing if I can beat old records with them. So playing a doomed... oops... pardon... playing a DOOOOOOOMED character still gives me the chance to see how far I can take them and then see if I can beat that mark during the next iteration of the tournament.
All that being said.... I have no plans for deleting ANY characters for Issue 19...
The main change for I19 is the introduction of the Incarnate system which will only affect (for the most part) level 50 characters. Sheesh, I re-start my tournament so often I barely ever see 40 much less 50. I will incorporate the Incarnate system into my existing tournament when (or rather, if) one of my competitors reaches 50th level.
As far as the Fitness pool being made Inherent, that really doesn't bother me at all. That's more of a respec issue and I can do that without any major ripples.
So... Issue 19 will not result in a delete and reboot... Issue 20 however.... Issue 20 has me nervous.
Signed,
Steelclaw (which is not an anagram but MAY be an idio-gram depending on your opinion of me)
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

your minions shout with glee.
But it's too late: they've got a date
with cruel eternity.

(or maybe one's a lime?)
You'll never stand to play them through,
'cause they're a waste of time.

your efforts are in vain.
It's plain to see his mastery,
and how you fail this game.

a twinkle in your eyes,
your characters, they spring to life
and then they see demise.

had Combat Jumping in his tow
before you hit Delete.

You know this at a glance.
You'll have to get to Super Jump
before you stand a chance.

Although its uses plenty,
you've never had the chance because
you need be level twenty.

Burial costs are through the roof these days.
These two statements are entirely unrelated to your comment. Objects in rear view mirror may be guiltier than they look. Sickly children and the elderly should avoid being sick or elderly while being relatives. Void where prohibited by law and one is likely to be discovered. Results are not typical, as most city folk have lost the stomach for skinning and tanning. If mothers-in-law persist being a pain in the neck for more than two weeks, contact a funeral director. Do not continue activities in the presence of law enforcement or agile witnesses. Under no circumstances should you suspect the nice young man living next door or down the block; after all, he's quiet and always keeps to himself. This has been a test of the Emergency Alibi System.

You'll never stand to play them through, 'cause they're a waste of time. Your offspring says it best, my friend: your efforts are in vain. It's plain to see his mastery, and how you fail this game. With masochism proud and true, a twinkle in your eyes, your characters, they spring to life and then they see demise. Your highest-level character (he was a brilliant feat) had Combat Jumping in his tow before you hit Delete. But this time, no: it's different now! You know this at a glance. You'll have to get to Super Jump before you stand a chance. So Fitness never shined for you. Although its uses plenty, you've never had the chance because you need be level twenty. So join us in two issues, friend, you're sure to get a simile from Steelclaw and his castaways... ... ... here on Gilligan's Isle! |
Win. So much win.

Dear Steelclaw,
Yes, I know, and I know you know, what's coming in Issue 19. This will be one of those big, game-changing, uh, changes to the game. Now, if I understand the rules of your personal Tournament correctly, I believe you're dusting off your chopping block for use in the not-too-distant future. I won't try to talk you out of it; in point of fact, I admire your commitment to your own creation. I have two questions, however.
Are all of the characters you create entered into your Tournament, or only some of them?
Does knowing, at this time, that your current Tournament characters have a date with the Delete button make you disinclined to continue playing them?
Okay, I said two questions, but I just thought of a third, and for some reason, I'm not going to edit the above sentence. When an announcement is made that makes you realize the game is going to change significantly enough to start your Tournament over again from the beginning, do you look forward to said change, or groan, "Not again..."?
Sincerely,
Klatteja (which is an anagram, btw - not that there's anything wrong with that)
