Exiles 2019 - you decide!
Over the past few years I've done some interesting thematic rules (not including those Speedbowl events). For the 11th incarnation, in 2019, I'm going to repeat one of them. And the choice is yours!
2009 and '10 there was nothing special.
'11 saw coaches get bonus cheerleaders if they dressed as cheerleaders (only 3, from 40ish, took this up).
'12 & '13 had no bonus rules, though I was starting to give away miniatures that would have eventually made up the original Exiles League members as a Necro team. But my sculptor stopped working
'14 saw the first of the "special" rules - Dead Rising allowed all teams to have a necromancer and cast Raise the Dead, and one random player on each team was given the regen skill.
'15 was Lucky Stars (a popular one I think). There was a higher TV allowance, coaches could only add 3 skills to their team and everyone had to spend a minimum of 150k on star players. Want lots of skills? Choose lots of stars
'16 - Pieces o' Eight! All about the Pirates! Liberally stolen (pirated) rules from hup north, coaches added skills to their team only to see them stolen away by each opponent! With a limit on spamming it created an interesting meta discussion about which skills to chose when you know you aren't going to get to use some of them
Plus there were boxes full of gold, to be used as bribes once over the weekend.
'17 - Repeated the skill loss system as I really enjoyed the pirate theme (plus I was going through a really tough time and couldn't expend the time and energy to come up with anything new).
'18 - Is going to back to my roots. The first NAF tourney I played was a BBGT. It was 105TV and one skill was given to one player, after each match, to simulate progression.

Voted Basics, had fun, not something done very much these days. Would probably go to any of the options though!

Re: Exiles 2019 - you decide!
For COMPLETELY unfair shenanigans... we play a tourney in Amsterdam yearly that has two random players after each match *rolling* for skills... including stat increases or doubles at no cost whatsoever.
Otherwise, as an unaffiliated party, the Pirate skill stealing looks fun.

Being able to apo stars in Lucky Stars made them significantly better than normal.

Gutted I missed the Pirate year (or did I...?), so voted for that.

I allowed that? Not checking and I honestly can't recall. Due to feedback ( ) I can easily say no if Stars are used again.Dionysian wrote:Being able to apo stars in Lucky Stars made them significantly better than normal.

You did. Even bolded it in the rulespack!lunchmoney wrote:I allowed that? Not checking and I honestly can't recall. Due to feedback ( ) I can easily say no if Stars are used again.Dionysian wrote:Being able to apo stars in Lucky Stars made them significantly better than normal.
Your rules summary from the 2015 OP:
lunchmoney wrote: In a nutshell - 120TV, full inducements, 3 skills added to your team, 1 of which can be a doubles choice, no stacking.
You must spend at least 150k on Star Players. The Stars can be part of your 11 players.
If you bring an Apothecary it can be used on the Stars.
Are you saying the apo rules would change during a repeat? That may change a few votes as it was such a major part of the gimmick - You have to bring 150k of stars, BUT more of them are viable now.
