Self correcting problem: we run another lightning-fast test.

That was my thought as well. I'm sure I can at least get the commissioners-run-each-round's-fights-in-any-order code done by then, and balance changes could be implemented as well (missile weapons are too expensive right now, and halberds and scourges should probably cost a little more) since balance changes don't require any new coding.

I think you've truly hit rock bottom with this one. Only way down from here would be to somehow skill your fighter to self-immolate at the start of the match.

There will be a larger tournament probably in less than a month, and there will be a new thread for that tournament.


Thanks! Read through the whole thread now, glad I found this when it started picking up / speeding up the matches. Very much looking forward to the next tournament! Be it a small test round or the next big one :)

While I greatly enjoy the great speed this tournament seems to be played with, I'd like to suggest to have a two day pause (at the very least) between rounds that involve spending points.

Agreed, Jazz will likely put out the call to people to upgrade and give a few days before adopting their fighters out to other people.

Grabbing macros now, will have writeup in 30 minutes or so.

Edit: Anyone know how to make a dragon have sex with a corpse in this game? Or just poo poo on it, that'd be fine too.

:siren::siren: Round 3, Fight 1 :siren::siren:

Boatmurdered division, Round 3, Fight 1.

This is an exciting match between the two last place teams that will decide absolutely nothing. That's a lie, this will determine who comes in last place in the division and therefore will get picked on by all of the other fighters.



On the left we have Daggum Polecats with Harold Bird the Human, Knuckle Dragger the Gremlin, and Ant Agonist the Antwoman. They are managed by ignite memories, Bad Munki, and pun pundit.

On the right we have Team Tiny Arms with Axel the Dark Hero (a dwarf), I'll Strangle You and Antioneette the Ant Woman. They are managed by Galic, Khisanth Magus, and Mlle.


They charge to the center of the arena, Antionette the fastest fighter out there!


The antwomen meet in the center, and then something incredble happens. You might want to sit down for this. Knuckle Dragger punches Antionette in the left foot, tearing fat and bruising musle through the copper boot! Antionette falls over and never regains her feet for the rest of the match.

Harold Bird wastes no time and stabs I'll Strangle You in the hand with his halbard, cutting open an artery and severing a nerve. I'll Strangle You swings back, but is parried. The group now swings at each other for a few moments, none able to get an advantage. Antionette is still laying on her back, gamely fighting on and not injured in any way.




Then things start happening quickly. Knuckle Dragger darts in and punches Antionette in the second right hand hard enough to make the antwoman drop her whip. She hits Knuckle Dragger back with a mace, but only manages to give him a bruise. Ant Agonist turns her attention to I'll Strangle You who, with his teammate Axel the Dark Hero, is dueling with Harold Bird. Harold Bird has kept them at bay and Ant Agonist lashes the smaller strangler in a hand, causing it to explode into a fine mist. I'll Strangle You is overcome with pain and falls over stunned.
Knuckle Dragger darts in again, punching Antionette right in the face. The concussion-like symptoms are too much, Antionette is no more. That's right, Knuckle Dragger punched someone in the face, causing a BRUISE, and killed the antwoman.

So we've got 3 standing Daggum Polecats, none injured. Team Tiny Arms has lost their antwoman, and their strangler is on the floor unconsious.



Ant Agonist casually smashes I'll Strangle You's head and chalks up another kill for her team. At the same time Harold Bird, now only facing one opponent, stabs Axel the Dark Hero in the leg which fractures bone and sends him to the floor.


In the above screenshot the downed dwarf Axel the Dark Hero is underneath the U which is the human Harold Bird. Ant Agonist doesn't bother moving to help out, disgusted with how easily the match has been so far. Knuckle Dragger is a bit more blood thirsty and moves to get some more punching in. Harold Bird stabs Axel the Dark Hero in the arm while Knuckle Dragger punches his lips to a pulp.



Ant Agonist moves in to help, annoyed that her teammates are dismembering the poor fighter on the ground. Instead of helping, she punches his jaw off with a sheild, then breaks his legs with a quick whipping. Harold Bird finishes the poor dwarf off with a blow to the head.



Daggum Polecats win the fight 3-0, with each fighter taking a kill.

When I read this I was lining up a snarky comment about this being less a punch and more like Knuckle Dragger letting his half-ton hands rest on Antionette's foot, but then this happened:

I don't know, man, I took a hit from a mace and somehow only got a minor wound. Remember, I'm an almost completely unarmored gremlin, it's not hard to make them go splat. That seems like pure luck to me.

Antionette was on the ground, I dont think hits from the ground do jack poo poo for damage anymore. Still, I expected more than a bruise.

I am actually not surprised by this outcome!

In their last fight, the Daggum Polecats did quite well. If I'd put Ant Agonist opposite King and Knuckle Dragger opposite Sunny, I think they probably would have won the fight, but I didn't actually test this. I simply put each team in in the same order that they appear in the manager screen, to avoid any sort of possibility of favoritism.

I am surprised that Knuckle Dragger did useful things, though. :stare:

I do this too. On the manager screen it was Human, Gremlin, Antoman on the Polecats so top was human, gremlin in middle, ant on bottom.

On the right it was Dwarf, strangler, antwoman.

Top to bottom, no favoritism.
