So fam, I done goofed. I got really caught up in a lot of stuff that happened (VooDoo Fest, Football, Pelicans Season Opener at the Blender, and Mother-in-Law-to-Be coming in town) and just really dropped the ball on this one. That said, I was really at a loss to do even if I had time to post. I think the "time off" actaully gave me time to come up with a pretty good idea that will allow us to eliminate The Purge next season in favor of doing this in one round (Though I really liked seeing the Purge posts, so who knows).

Welcome to Orphan pick up.

The following teams failed Round 0:

• /u/Blastoise_FTW
• /u/Bramif
• /u/CosmonautSpiff
• /u/DeloreaBrea
• /u/demonbirk
• /u/Domjules
• /u/PrimeGopher
• /u/redistheold

If (and only if) one of your characters on your team is one submitted by someone on that list, you may adopt the character that they were assigned in that role instead. So, for example, /u/galvanicmechamorph got Wild Cat, who was submitted by demonbirk, who was unable to complete Round 0. They can, if they wish, replace Wild Cat with Pai Mei.

Why? the whole point of The Purge was to remove characters that would not be properly supported in terms of the submitter. Also, I don't like characters from inactive teams being in the competition on principle. So while it is optional, I prefer if you do.

Furthermore, there was much clamoring to have a way to redistribute teams. While this would be nice, it was tried last season and did not really work, so i want to give this a try instead.

In the unlikely event (I haven't looked enough to know if this happens) that the character you would adopt is also from an owner no longer in the game, please keep following the daisy chain till you reach one that is acceptable.

I know many already had stories going...its up to you how you want to handle this story wise (death and replacement, retcon, etc)

If you want to replace, please post here with all the who's and whats by Thursday night at 6:00 pm CST. I want to try to post Round 1A on Friday and get this going.

Also, that moment when your favorite of the things you submitted (Misaka Mikoto) is on this list (Blastoise) and the person who got his special attacker is also on this list (cosmonaut).

:/

requesting permission to claim misaka mikoto from blastoise /s

(unless someone can swap with cosmonaut to get the ability to swap with blastoise? idk)

[u/doctorgecko → u/shinyskarmory]

Misaka would then go to the person who got cosmonaut's special attacker which would be... /u/selfproclaimed. Who interestingly enough got a different electricity user.

[u/selfproclaimed → u/doctorgecko]

And I like Static. He's got some inpreesive feats. Wallbusting durability and damage output.
