Pickled Tink: Apr 28, 2012; 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.; Fun Shoe

They don't deserve names yet. One belongs to the Petting Zoo, one besmirches the Spooky Scary Skeletons, one befouls Cool Rad Awesome Pals, one blights A Tarantino Film, two cripple a Furry, Farmer and two Cows, two execrate the name of This Bites and three render Lightly Whipped even more of the ultimate laughing stock.

Until any of them kill someone, they are dead to me.

(Except my teammate. They alone have merit amongst the unblooded.)

Without names, how can we mock them? (Said as a person who's gladiator only barely escaped the unblooded category last round).

Someone link the drat spreadsheet so I can tell if Impys gladiator is the weakest link.

Or just tell me if my team is all-killers.

I would look it up myself but I dont even know my divison or team name which makes me think I should see a doctor. How long has it been?

Breaking someone's spine and then having them bite through my stomach doesn't count as a kill, sadly.

It's me, I am the unblooded. I am a tank, I am here to stop my teammates being killed.

Next time I play, I'm coming in with a pick though.

e: no, it's not me, hooray

My reputation as a staunch backer of my teammates through thick and thin is undiminished. Skellies before Statistics. :colbert:

Mock them as the nameless dregs (Or nameless Clods, Matul Remrit stylee) who have not yet earned their name in blood. :black101:

Worth pointing out that everyone in this list is objectively a worse gladiator than Mogwai, a gremlin wielding two bucklers.

Tunicate: May 15, 2012

I built Strangler Than Fiction to be the ultimate wingman - able to tie up opponents and keep them occupied long enough for the killing blow.

And that's exactly why two of my teammates have 8 kills each, and I only have one. Totally a calculated move to help my bros out. :colbert:

Fuubi: Jan 18, 2015; THUNDERDOME LOSER

I'll have you know that Urist follows a very specific code of karmic martial arts, where true ascension can only occur through death. Your own death. Repeatedly. Over and over. In the most bloody fashion possible.

Killing someone else will add a fat minus to his karma score and as such is not desirable.

That, or he's just plain crap.

My son is going through a biting phase, he's two. Which means that Team Laser Explosion is literally as dangerous as four two year olds. Basically a bye for their next opponents.

Considering how deadly biting seems to be with certain gladiators who don't even put dots on this, it is truly terrifying.

Well, if you don't already have a weapon there, why not?! Might as well live a little while longer before the opposition tears through you due to your utter lack of lethality.

I've been around basically without pause since... well, since the start of Vox's initial thread.

I promise we'll keep moving forward, even if it has to crawl. I do sometimes slow down due to life and/or feeling I need a break to write things at least halfway decent, but it'll keep moving.

Bonus fun fact: did you know there's something like half a dozen of us running fights? It's true! :v:

Also, before anyone else even could have done anything, I already updated sn because I was poised to do it as soon as I posted the last fight. I got enough wooden swords for my whole team.*

*I am lying.
