Well, drat.  Looks like Panty Thief entered into one of those "grab limb -> let it go" loops that wrestlers just fall into at random sometimes. Dang. At least Dory put up one hell of a fight. Spermy Smurf posted:Please don't take offense to the above, my dad and Coward. Dory and Anthony did similar things with completely different tactics so I had to write it in there. I laughed at the writeup.

Great write-up, I enjoyed the read. Anthony's and Mogwai's builds doing exactly what they were meant to is lovely to see. Tonic is nice and efficient too (until his arms fall off). Dory put up a really scary fight though, we were dead lucky he got isolated 3 on 1.

If he had dodged away instead of being taken down he would have probably won that fight by helping Dory. my dad posted:Looks like Panty Thief entered into one of those "grab limb -> let it go" loops that wrestlers just fall into at random sometimes. Dang. At least Dory put up one hell of a fight. I legitimately did not know this was a thing. That's all Panty did, no bending/breaking of limbs confused me but I was busy screenshotting and writing. Ran it six more times and it went 6-0 for Plump Helmets. gently caress. If I had known that existed and seen it, I would have stopped the fight and done it again because that's not exactly fair. We should have some kind of plan on what to do if something weird happens mid-fight. I simply didn't notice

I'm of the opinion that the first run kind of has to be the one we use, no matter if it's a one-sided drubbing or what. It's just the easiest, most objective way to avoid bias creeping in. Also, gently caress, I'm wiped out and penniless again right on the eve of the final.

James being non-factor in the fight was a personal disappointment, but that's the way the chips fall. Well done to Team Laser Explosion!

By the way, reading the log, looks like I just solved the mistery of armoring tails: They're protected by breastplates, which means they count as a limb going "up" instead of "down". That's why leggings and greaves never seem to protect them. Only mail shirts and breastplates will do.

I saw that too, didn't know it was a mystery though. Thought it was pretty odd because I boner-tuck upwards, not down toward my knees. I figured it would be reverse for tails.

Team Laser Explosion have been impressively egalitarian in their killing: Every single one of them now has two kills in the postseason. Will they manage the unlikely trifecta and get one kill each in the final? The title of 'Most killy team' will be settled in the bronze medal match. The Helmets, on 62 kills across season and Playoffs, need to win to claim it outright. The Zoo, on 61, need to win to tie up with the Animists on 65. If we get a 4-3 slaughterfest with a single Petting Zoo fighter left standing, we have a three-way tie. Both teams will contest the final starting out on 50 kills. Mogwai just doubled his kill tally, Tyler Durden is Hobbes is just one kill ahead. James LargeSausage, regardless of any kills in the Bronze match, consolidates and confirms his title as the most killy gladiator.

I understand that there are two entire teams in this final, but I really just want to crown the #1 Murder Punch Tiger Tank. It is absolutely fascinating how that build got so drat effective in the playoffs. (after barely getting by prior)

You can't update your poo poo, so ZeeToo can run that fight anytime he wants. Antwoman for comparison: She has the following equipment. Adamantine Large Dagger Iron Helm Copper Mail Shirt Steel Mail Shirt Copper Greaves Copper Gauntlets Copper Low Boots She has the following skills. Level 4 Fighting (Skilled) Level 8 Knife (Expert) Level 2 Striking (Adequate) Level 3 Biting (Competent) Level 5 Dodging (Proficient) Level 4 Armor (Skilled)

my dad, you are managing Dory, a female Minotaur fighter. She has the following equipment. Copper Spear Copper Spear Steel Cap Leather Armor Bronze Mail Shirt Steel Mail Shirt Steel Gauntlets Steel High Boots She has the following skills. Level 2 Fighting (Adequate) Level 10 Spear (Accomplished) Level 1 Wrestling (Novice) Level 5 Dodging (Proficient) Dory has 94.6 points currently available to spend. Had we reached the finals, she'd have 13 spear skill.

Gotta ask because she's clearly deadly as poo poo: Lack of Fighting skill didn't make a bit of difference huh? You just jacked the weapon skill and said screw it to the fighting skill. Testing shows its useless?

Mind you, I've done almost no testing with her build past the initial stage (to make sure I'm not doing something stupid), this is mostly me following my gut feel.  I just don't think strikes of opportunity are all that useful on her build, compared to being really good at shiskebabing people with one of her spears while casually blocking their strikes with the other.One thing I did test is adding a copper breastplate and greaves for some extra blunt protection, but it's just too drat heavy, and costs points that could go on more useful stuff.

Here's James: James LargeSausage, a male Human fighter. He has the following equipment. Steel Halberd Iron Helm Iron Mail Shirt Iron Leggings Iron Gauntlets Iron Low Boots He has the following skills. Level 1 Fighting (Adequate) Level 12 Axe (Master) Level 6 Dodging (Talented) I'm not sure what I would have bought him for the finals, probably more weapon skill.

Splode posted:So it is starting to look like fighting skill is worthless garbage? I think it depends a lot on the fighter's race probably. I definitely didn't bother with it on my fighter but then I also be came much less effective as time went on so maybe I'm not the best authority. Here's Richard's Build btw. you are managing Richard Kyanka, a male Dark Gnome fighter. This fighter is participating in the 1054 Armok Arena League tournament as a member of Two Chicks with Dicks. He has the following equipment. Adamantine Large Dagger Oak Wood Buckler He has the following skills. Level 8 Knife (Expert) Level 7 Dodging (Adept) Level 5 Shield (Proficient) Richard Kyanka has 67 points currently available to spend.

On the bright side, with the upcoming update, damage probably isn't going to be fully contained in a single body segment, so this may become more useful.

It looks like people are updated on the site. A few gladiators have leftover points for some reason, but less than 50 so I assume they just don't feel the need for 1 striking or 1 biting or whatever. No one has said they are ready yet have they? GO BIG and LASER EXPLOSION Are you ready?
