As far as I can tell dasmause hasn't logged into the arena challenge site since a third of the way into the tournament and he hasn't updated his fighter. Do we need a new manager for Anthony?

E: he has plat actually - will pm him

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.

Yeah, sometimes there are flash rules and poo poo that can make everyone / (or in this particular case) one person's life writing a story a little more complicated.

It's great fun, and the judges (which change weekly) aren't afraid to tear you a new one if you gently caress up and pointing out how you did. This week is still open if you want to sign up! :v: edit: It's TD's 200th week, and the judges would ""love"" if we hit at least 50 signups this week. And new blood is always ""loved"" plenty!

Anyway, I think I'm good for my points.

I've sent an e-mail to Dasmause and he'll have 24 hours before we put his fighter up for adoption.

Anyone who did not have a fighter make the playoffs will be eligible to adopt when the time comes.

I'm sorry for not posting. My world is full of woe. I had such high hopes for Jameson. He was on track to be Party Secretary right up until that yeti beat him to death with his own breastplate.

Anyway, his final build:

Cathode Raymond, you are managing Jameson the Unruly, a male Human fighter.

This fighter is participating in the 1054 Armok Arena League tournament as a member of Worker Cooperative.

He has the following equipment.
Iron Two-Handed Sword
Copper Cap
Copper Breast Plate
Copper Leggings
Copper Gauntlets
Copper Low Boots

He has the following skills.
Level 5 Fighting (Proficient)
Level 5 Sword (Proficient)
Level 5 Dodging (Proficient)
Level 6 Armor (Talented)
Level 2 Kicking (Adequate)

Jameson the Unruly has 99 points currently available to spend.

Edit: Jameson the Unruly of Worker Cooperative demands another chance to fight for the rights of the proletariat
