Hmm, if you're not wholly confident in character acceptance you could ask someone to help you and keep character submission secret...

You and Skalla make some interesting points there.  The part I quoted would definitely fix the one problem, even if Skalla didn't have the time to go over all submissions with me I could get different people to work on different ones...

The other thing is characters being revealed once the tournament starts: a lot of my other concerns, such as being able to understand what the enemy fighter was doing, were based on the characters remaining hidden throughout (seems I misunderstood you a bit there).  

So tell you what: [color=ed1c24]I'll give anyone who wants to the [i]option[/i] of PMing me their character sheet in secret, to be posted when the tourney starts[/color]. Will edit the first post too.  (Also letting [@DJAtomika] and [@ShidenBlades] know).

Also, with DJ we have three declarations of interest, and one of possible interest!  Glad to see this taking root so far.
