It would be nice if I actually knew how many participation points we are getting a round. I'd like to buy things but I also want a shiny knife if we make playoffs so I have to math. I'm a gremlin if somebody wants to give me that information.

Looks like the Zoo's resident tank will make Chaz look like a bitch. And Belmole will hopefully chop through SRIRACHA fast enough to save Cowman and Antwoman who are going to be bitten and chopped by Strangler and a wolf with a huge iron 2 handed sword who has had 6 kills in the last 2 fights.

The only fricken matchup I felt comfortable with for Antwoman was Knife Toseeu :(

Can I reroll a new fighter?

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.

6 by 30, actually. I'm running a Yeti. 180 points isn't really much, and this will be the seventh round I won't have spent points, so I'll be at 210 by the start of the next round, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to afford something decent.

SWORD OF SMATTAS. CAN YOU NOT HEAR A WORLD CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE? WHEN WILL YOU DELIVER IT?
Yam Slacker
So, another end of a round, another win for the all-dwarf team, their 48 kills reclaiming the lead from Worse Munki and Plump Helmets on 47. What's interesting is, whilst not equal, there is much more of a shared workload amongst the animists than with their nearest rivals, the mutant dwarf notwithstanding.

Let's look at the top of the leaderboard:

1st, in like Flynn, 22 kills - 50% of Hell's Dentists' total.
2nd, James Largesausage, 21 - 45% of Plump Helmets' total
3rd, Chaz Steadyfist, 20 - 43% of Worse Munki's total
4th=, Dusseldwarf, 18 - 38% of Subterranean Animists' total
4th=, Snarls Barkley, 62% of A Tarantino Film's total

Represented in the top five are the four division leading teams, with the outlier being the 'Best worst team', the 4th-placed of Syrupleaf with a better record than half the 3rd-placed teams. Snarls is totally carrying them, and would likely earn a transfer to a better side next season if such things existed. Duss shares her workload majorly with Qwarf, who has one third of the remaining tally, with Baldwin in double figures as well.

I have a suggestion: Add one extra fight between the end of the qualifications and the play-offs. The 8th best team will fight a custom team made of the 4 best fighters from the 8 loser teams, chosen one each by Jazz, the commissioners (ZeeToo and SpermySmurf), and one more person. It would give the best of the worst one last chance to redeem themselves against the worst of the best and enter the play-offs in a brand new team.

Oh, I do like that idea. It means there might be a surprisingly good new addition to the playoffs, assuming they beat the 8th place team. In terms of picking the fighters to make up the team, the remaining one could be the losing fighter with the highest number of kills.

I like the jist of this idea but I think the 4 best fighters from the 8 loser teams would actually be a really good team, perhaps much too good. Maybe take the best fighter from each of the bottom 4 teams.

Of course, I also want to do a final exhibition match between the top four killers and the last four unblooded, supposing none of them get a kill in the last few rounds. You know, just to give them another shot at it. Technically. :v:

I think we should throw them a bone and do a mirror match of the four unblooded vs the four unblooded. If one manages to kill another one, they will be considered "*blooded" for historical purposes. If one only manages to kill its clone, or not even kill any of the other unblooded, they must be commemorated in a special shaming ceremony.

As it stands now I'd think the 4-best-of-the-worst fighters would be:

Ghost-Trees from Lightly Whipped
Knife Toseeu from This Bites except Knife Toseuu didn't have a dagger or something right? So a bite-strangler? If that's the case then maybe Roland?
Dontellim Pike from Furry/Farmer/2 Cows. But I do like Rob Fords weapon...
Bowbold from CRAP. gently caress you Bad Munki

Maybe? Those are going from memory and not looking at the kill tally sheet.

They would be fighting Go Big or Go Home.

Roland Gorchik has one more kill than Knife Toseeu: they both have more kills than the entirety of lightly whipped. The one you suggested for lightly whipped is unblooded: Jupis is their 'leading killer'. You're right about Pike. Here's where things get interesting, and give you a chance to screw over Bad Munki: Although the Pals have the 4th worst win record, They have more kills than the Heavyweight Horrorshow. Jimbo is indeed the only Pal worth a drat, but if we go for the 4th worst by kills, Jakob of the Horrorshow takes the last spot.

Alternately, we can take the four worst teams and pluck the four best from them regardless of origin. By win record, that gives us:
Jimbo Akimbo (Pals, 17 kills)
Roland Gorchik (This Bites, 8 kills)
Knife Toseeu (TB, 7 kills)
Dontellim Pike (FF2C, 7 kills)

And by kill count:
Jakob (T13HH, 10 kills)
sn (T13HH, 8 kils)
Roland Gorchik (TB, 8 kills)
And either knife or pike.

All right, let's quantify this. A drat is the fighting ability to outfight the entirety of Lightly Whipped. Lightly Whipped have 6 kills, to outfight them you need 7. There is one member of Cool Rad Awesome Pals whose kill value is worth that total or higher.

All the fighters have a balanced number of points, and there are already teams with great builds and excellent synergy between fighters. How exactly is taking the 4 best fighters from the losing teams going to cause a problem? I mean, the whole purpose of this is to make a decent team for a hail mary shot at winning the tournament for those guys.

It'll bias things against teams like ours that are trying to stumble our ways into the playoffs and dont have great builds or synergy!

More seriously I'd think we would want a Hail Mary team to be coming in at around the middle of the pack, I'm not sure who exactly it would be but putting 4 good killers on a team together very well might put them more on the level of the current top team.

It's not a problem if you take the 4 best from the 4 worst teams, which I think is a great idea.

It becomes more of a problem (and less of a Hail Mary) if you take the 4 best from all of the 8 teams that don't make the playoffs, because that could be a monster team of Snarls Barkley, Jimbo, etc. That team if you put it together right now would probably average 13 or 14 kills each. Their average kill tally would be higher than even the Animists, and they would almost certainly beat whoever the 8th place team is by a wide margin.
