Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

Dead Meat the Yeti is ready to go, although I have no idea if his build is terrible or not. Don't have the arena raws (and it seems this test tournament has changed them even more, so the old raws wouldn't help?), so can't use the macro to test him out.


... oh yes, the new Arena raws.

Here they are.

Oh, Carver is fighting Manotaur, I see. Run by an experienced player, too. Well, Carver is quite handicapped as the arena rules prohibit her from using teleportation, fire magic, or her friendship with various deities, so she'll just have to slice that Manotaur up with a sword.

Create a fighter (not using the site, just write it down) and compete with the other guys for a chance to own Spearmy. Actually, gently caress that. I am going to have to manually create these fighters arent I?

Welp, I already offered so lets do this thing. No way to create test fighters is there whose macro I can download is there?

Not as far as I've ever seen.

Jesus that's a terrible plan. I use the Bad Munki approach to fighter management. No logic, no thinking, fighter completed in 30 seconds. But I don't do platinum helmet and grandmaster headbutting or anything like that.

Also: Apparently no one wants my fighter. Guess it's all mine? :getin:

No. You can wield two one handed weapons in two hands, though. :v:

There's an interesting mechanic with multiarmed creatures and two-handed weapons. With one-handed weapons, you lose the weapon if you lose the arm. With a two-handed weapon and two hands, you lose an arm and your attacks are heavily penalized. With 3+ arms, you don't lose any effectiveness until you go down to only one arm, and by the time that happens, you're either going to win the battle or bleed to death.

Unfortunately, only newly created fighters are allowed in this tournament. In the future, we might have a "Tournament of Champions" where veterans from previous tournaments fight each other, but for this one you'll need to use a fighter that hasn't fought in a tournament before.

I think that was Vox who ran them. I can still get theseus' macro, and anchors can get Stranglelove's macro. Jazz could likely give you them through the site.

I'd love to see a champions vs LNTAC beatdown, but it's going to be far too one sided. You should put the champions next to each other and on opposing teams. Might make the fight slightly less lop-sided.
