Picks are also very good. RIP Boatmurder's shot at being the championship division.

Postmortem time for Baldwin: He has the following equipment. Iron Spear Oak Wood Shield Iron Helm Leather Armor Iron Mail Shirt Leather Leggings Iron Gauntlets Steel Low Boots He has the following skills. Level 5 Fighting (Proficient) Level 10 Spear (Accomplished) Level 4 Dodging (Skilled) Level 3 Shield (Competent) Level 2 Armor (Adequate) Baldwin has 134 points currently available to spend. The only change for the playoffs was 5 additional points in Spear and 2 Dodging. I really expected patchwork armor at best from the opposition. HUBRIS He would have had exactly enough points for a Steel Spear and Adamantine Gauntlets in round 2. Had I reversed that order, things might have gone differently.

Please don't rush the semis. Some of us have lives beyond posting on the forums, but would still like to have time to talk and think about this.

How fast is too fast? The round is closed for a little while for people to upgrade, test builds, whatever. Probably will pick it up again on Monday morning and Plump Helmets vs Team Laser Explosion. After that you can blame ZeeToo if it's too fast. I mean, there's only 2 fights in this next round so do you want us to space it out a week in between? What would you do in that week without being able to spend points/bet?

Just wait for every team to give the all clear, with a deadline of 3-4 days. There's only 4 teams left, it's not like it's going to flood the thread with OK signals.

I was under the mistaken impression that stranglers had two mouths. She has the following equipment. Iron Helm Leather Armor Copper Mail Shirt Steel Mail Shirt Adamantine Mail Shirt Copper Greaves Bronze Gauntlets Steel High Boots She has the following skills. Level 3 Fighting (Competent) Level 13 Wrestling (High Master) Level 1 Striking (Novice) Level 14 Biting (Grand Master) Level 3 Dodging (Competent) Level 3 Armor (Competent) Level 1 Kicking (Novice) I was at level 13 biting pretty early on, didn't do much good. Biting stranglers are pretty unworkable I think. Tunicate fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Jun 8, 2016 |

Here's Bo of TCWD He has the following equipment. Steel Short Sword Oak Wood Shield Iron Cap Iron Mail Shirt Leather Leggings Iron Gauntlets Leather High Boots He has the following skills. Level 1 Fighting (Novice) Level 7 Sword (Adept) Level 4 Dodging (Skilled) Level 9 Shield (Professional) Level 3 Armor (Competent) Level 1 Misc. Object (Novice) He ended up being pretty effective. After going for an initial mostly-glass cannon build, I put pretty much all his points into defense. I think his kill count came from the combination of his weapon, his fairly good defenses (making him relatively hard to kill), and his fairly low dodge (which mean that he was in the thick of things relatively longer).

Roland Gorchnik is a male Human fighter participating in the 1054 Armok Arena League tournament as a member of This Bites. He has 39 points currently available to spend. He has the following equipment. Copper Scourge Iron Cap Leather Armor Iron Mail Shirt Iron Greaves Leather Gauntlets Leather Low Boots He has the following skills. Level 2 Fighting (Adequate) Level 5 Lash (Proficient) Level 3 Biting (Competent) Level 6 Dodging (Talented) Level 1 Shield (Novice) Level 1 Armor (Novice) Should have tested my initial adamantine mail shirt and low weapon skill plan. Same with selling the shield for the scourge, and latter the whip for more skill points. A steel or iron shirt, more skill, and starting with the scourge might have changed things considerably. At least buying flashy nonsense is more or less in character.

Here's Chaz: He has the following equipment. Steel Halberd Oak Wood Shield Silver Helm Leather Armor Leather Leggings Leather Gauntlets He has the following skills. Level 4 Fighting (Skilled) Level 6 Axe (Talented) Level 4 Dodging (Skilled) Level 6 Shield (Talented) Level 1 Misc. Object (Novice) My biggest regret is probably not taking the time to get a pair of decent-quality gauntlets, considering how often it felt like he got disarmed.

Well I'm glad that Cowman is continuing to perform admirably as the team's tank. Just one more fight and he can finally leave and get back to that wedding or whatever he meant to attend. Also good job Stephen, I knew he could do it. I always believed in him. Edit: I'm apparently the third wealthiest bet-placer, I don't even know how this happened. I'd better place more bets or something I guess. Locomotive breath fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Jun 9, 2016 |

Suck & gently caress Pighead is a member of Two Chicks with Dicks. She has the following equipment. Silver War Hammer Iron Helm Iron Mail Shirt Iron Leggings Iron Gauntlets Iron High Boots She has the following skills. Level 5 Fighting (Proficient) Level 10 Hammer (Accomplished) Level 8 Dodging (Expert) Level 1 Armor (Novice) I was hoping getting a lot of skill on hammer due to the points bonus of being small would pay off, and while it didn't completely suck, it wasn't super effective. Maybe I should have forgone armour completely given how dangerous wrestling is to the little guys and armour doesn't really help with that. I dunno. Fun tourney, big thanks to all the fight runners and Jazz. Gotta figure out who to root for now.

fallingdownjoe, you are managing Experiment Twenty-Two, a female Tigerman fighter. This fighter is participating in the 1054 Armok Arena League tournament as a member of Worse Munki. She has the following equipment. Steel Long Sword Steel Helm Leather Armor Iron Mail Shirt Iron Gauntlets She has the following skills. Level 5 Fighting (Proficient) Level 5 Sword (Proficient) Level 2 Dodging (Adequate) Level 3 Shield (Competent) Level 4 Armor (Skilled) I think it's quite obvious that I didn't really know what I was doing, especially early on - I've started playing the game now as a result of the Arena though and having a great time! I'll be bringing a much more tested fighter to the next tournament - thanks to everyone who's put in the vast amounts of time needed to keep this thing running.
