Please have a look at the Bio of http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=164940
I have reached a problem. On the show, some characters appear in "Alternate forms" Buffy appears as a Vampire when nightmares become real.... Xander and Willow are vampires in an alternate reality, Amy becomes a Rat. Ben and Glory are two people in one body.... Should these alternate appearances get new players? Please, despite my spamming ways, work a real answer into your response and read the bio first, if you haven't seen it before.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Mac |

Of course they should! And your flings should get some more Diving Tackle instead of all that side step. |

Heh, only in a bizarro world that would be the best episode ever. I decline to work on a real answer, it would feel like working. |

I did alternate for a long while, but Diving Tackle is more use against people who dodge away from you. Most of my opponents try to be as bashy as they can. SS seems to be working better for first skill, as long as I maintain on ro two DTs in the backfield, Redfish. |

I would say YES to the alternates on the team (anything to keep trees off the field) maybe even give them a prefix "alternate buffy" or "alternate Ben and Glory" (as they appear in one alternate body together.
Please also add me to your accept any game from this team list if you wish to.

G_Force, so added. I would go with Ben, Glory (as they have their own faces) and something descriptive for others... Vampire Xander, Amy the Rat, or whatnot... I'm assuming. |

If you do that never take them in the field at the same time! |

Yikes! You man-mark with your flings?! They must fall faster than morning dew.
EDIT: Of course with only flings on the field you don't have to care about casualties. Still I'd only man mark on certain occasions, but what do I know. I don't play with no tree flings |

Well, all the main characters are long dead/retired, so alternates wouldn't be an issue in that regard.
Why do people say yes in the thread but not the poll? |

Alternate Forms - No, because there is only ever one Amy and only one of her can be on the pitch at a time.
Alternate Realities - Yes, because Xander and Vampire Xander exist at the same time.
It's kind of a question of Spike without the chip vs. Spike with the chip, Oz in human form vs. Oz in Werewolf form, or Angel with a soul vs. Angel without a soul. Are they considered alternate forms too? I would not field Oz and Werewolf Oz together.
If they are not on the team at the same time, then go ahead! It will give your team more longevity.
By the way, I voted no because I consider the characters to be unique and their alternate forms to retire/die with the standard form. |

Ok, Amstar, but I think you could further sub-divide your issues as well. Spike only makes one first appearance, as does Oz, but the Werewolf is introduced as it's own character before we know it's Oz..... Angel is referred to by a different name when his soul is gone, as is Amy-rat. Willow is just called willow when she's a vampire, but she meets herself in the show, so clearly exists side-by-side.
And what about when Xander splits? Is that one new charcter, two new characters, or none? It's all a lot of fun, but If I make the call, I'm gonna have to let my wife be the final arbiter of what is new (she demands to see Amy as a rat, Herbert is her current favourite player), I think I'm inclining to allow them, just to keep more recognizable faces on the pitch..... |

they appear in 1 episode so you should bought them ALL as freebooters.
Be ready to make some space in the team! |
