I'm really divided on the GCL thing, on the one hand Darth seems to know what he's doing and has a good system (for the most part, some things are stupid like the obvious advantages for ranged magical combat over physicality and some other funky spell effects) but on the other hand I don't like the ethics of that site and some of the participants seem like grade-A douche-bags, even by combat-RPG standards.

I'm still heavily tempted though, just to see how far I can get with a character who is quite literally just amazing at throwing stones.

You should try it!  I used stone-throwing as a weapon once, and won a tournament with it.  You can pull all sorts of stuff like ricochets, fake throwing motions to threaten your opponent, sliding larger rocks across the ground like balls or hockey pucks to knock people off their feet, targeting terrain to do shit like knock branches off trees onto opponent's heads... plenty of fun options.

Definitely some a-holes over there, but you'll find those wherever you fight.  Plus, over there you'll have competent judges to help deal with them (unlike over here, where right now it's just me doing my best).
