As you all know Round 3 was supposed to be announced tonight at midnight, but due to real life obligations we’ll have to announce Round 3 some point TOMORROW.
So pass the information on.
ROUND 3 WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOME POINT ON THE 20TH MAY
Blastoise evolves from squirtle, squirtle is a water type. Water types are for rangers only, and I believe thieves can only get them if they have enough badges. So no, mages can't. You can get a torkoal though, borderline the same thing.
Question - Since I left Duality due to uncontrollable outside events, and am interested in re-joining with my character as an NPC, would it be preferable that I join the faction that she was first made and introduced? I'm significantly revamping her and her story to suit the several-month hiatus, but was curious since I don't think this is covered in the FAQ, and I wanted to make absolutely sure. (Unless 'character may not change factions' includes every instance and once a character is made, they are locked in to their faction. Even those going from competitor to NPC?) Thank you so much and sorry for the lengthy, weirdly-worded message!
Questions about the badges since I'm moving my main to an npc. If we've competed in every round thus far, but were eliminated this last round, does that get us up through the Merchant Badge or the Noble badge?
Because you handed in an entry for Round 2, you'd be caught up to the Noble badge. If you hadn't submitted an entry this round or didn't do the NPC event, then you would've only had Merchant.
Quoting myself: "Quoting the FAQ: "Q: I was in the tournament but lost my match. I want to continue as an NPC, but never did any of the Events. Will I be behind?
A: Nope! Competitors will automatically be caught up to whatever badge the NPCs have earned to this point. That's because we want you to be able to focus on your tournament comics, but still be rewarded for the work you put in!""
So you get the noble badge, since you were working on R2 when we had time for it. And every badge before it, by the way.
