Do we have enough submitted bands yet? Aren't get getting close to the originally intended deadline?

I have been keeping a running ticker of entries in the OP. We are up to 10 so I definitly think that is enough.

One thing I have to say is with the large pool you have to build a band how similar some of the ideas are. I guess that means you guys think alike. I just realized that one of my other ideas for another WBC was half way done on hordelings.

You will be happy with the company you are with though. Your idea was similar to the some great minds here on maxminis.

Just noticed this thread and decided to throw my whacky ideas into the ring.

Knew I shoulda gone with a hate band. Ah well, I usually don't enter these since the bands that fit my playstyle are ones that no one would vote for. :-p This one was goofy enough to get me interested.

I hope at least some were unique. And I hope it's a unique idea that trickles to the top (especially if it was my idea ).

I'd prefer if we got to 16 entries before the fur started to fly. But it's not my call.

Well we are at 12 entries with 30 minutes to go. I wound love if we made it to 15 or 16 because then there will be no late round byes. It is up to you guys.... First WBC 9 vote will be wether to start the pairings at 14* or to start once we get 16. Let me know. 

* If we get 14 there will only be a second round bye...which is not as bad as a semi final bye.  So we will at least wait for one more.

What sort of format are you using for the pairings? If you set up a bracket system, shouldn't there only be a couple first round byes?

6 on 6, 6 eliminated
3 on 3, 3 eliminated
1 vs 1 and 1 bye....
the bye walks into the finals

Thats if we used 12 people.

I've got a band I'll mention if I remember, once the contest is under way.  I haven't given it all the time it deserves, but I think it would stand a fighting chance.

I would like to post the band that I dreamed up but didn't submit, but I can't, because someone else picked the same thing!

I don't want to say which one, because that alters the anonymity of the voting.

Okay, one crazy idea I discarded was:

Lich Necromancer
Large Silver Dragon
Lemure x3

Low on activations, but it turns out there are plenty of bands that probably wouldn't have liked the cold and paralysis (despite the DHoD's protecting FGFPs)

My runner-up band would have been an Orcs + Ogres combo probably. Though I never came up with a warband that I truly liked.

Looks like the Inspiring Marshal is the commander of choice for this event, with the Couatl a close second. IM + Marilith in particular seems popular.

I came up with this: Aspect of Kord
Brass Samurai
Crow Shaman
Duergar Champion
Elf Warrior
Fiendish Snake
Greenspawn Sneak
Field of ruin was my map.
Sadly however, i was entry number 17. The one time i am brave enough to submit something that happens. Dumb luck i guess.

I looked at these two as well; but I couldn't justify the low activations either.

Don't feel bad.  It was a good band, and you can always jump in on WBC X!
