If you're bumping this up to 128 AND still doing the losers bracket, I'm going to have to call you a crazy person.

Should be interesting to see how the ants fare this time. The baby-ant bug made things a little one-sided.
vvvv

George is going to make some new friends, and hug them and pet them and aww they broke. :saddowns:

I admit I was slightly worried that the 128 cap would delay the start something fierce, but it looks like we'll get there after all.

That's something that should be fixed for this tournament, as fighters will take advantage of crippling moves. And boy do they go for the kill. :gonk:

Out of curiosity, I plopped in a 3d human model and stuck a volume calculator on it to try and get a more accurate representation of the races in this battle. Apart from the dwarf and the molemarians, I didnt alter the proportions, so the oddly limbed races are probably off. The calculation also assumes that everyone is the same density. I got this:



Yeti on the left, gremlin on the right. Not a stark size difference that the previous 2D analysis gave us the impression of.

Will betting on the Battle Royale be available?

Oh god let this start soon, before I spend more time fiddling over my fighter's skills and gear. :smith:

Bet all my dough. I'm going to win and make it big, or be poor and dead.

My yeti is up against a lil strangler. Aww.

Your winnings = Total pool * (your bet amount / total winning bet)

Smaller fighters do have the advantage of more points though. If more of those are spent on skill, they do have a good chance of ending up with superior stats, which can make the difference against a large opponent.

Serpentman eyeballs are a delicacy in some fortresses, I hear. :stare:

The next small person match I see is a gremlin- vs a troll. Oh you poor bastard.

Synthbuttrange

And I've not won a single bet to date :qq:

Also wish I had some money left to bet against SynthOrange in every future match.

You can cancel bets by entering 0 on any old bets you have.

It wasnt? Oh. Uhm... IGNORE ME!

Suddenly I'm not so confident about my yeti vs a strangler fight. :ohdear:

Synthbuttrange
May 6, 2007

Poor Fatty, even with the advantage of lopping off his opponents arm he couldnt win.

As for Serpent, I blame terrible manager choices. Wouldnt steel or bronze have been a better material for the pick? Adamantine may have piercing power, but it's just so light. And no skills = no kills.

Synthbuttrange
May 6, 2007

Hey, gotta fill the thread with something in between updates.

And yes, I'm still doing awfully on the betting front. Zero wins out of 5 bets. :smith:

Synthbuttrange

Clearly my tactic of betting on the most adorable looking fighters is not paying off.

Synthbuttrange
May 6, 2007

Basically:
Are you doing damage through impact and crushing? Go for the heavy stuff.
Are you doing damage through piercing and cutting? Go with hard materials.

Synthbuttrange
May 6, 2007

Nooooooooo, my dwarfbucks! :qq:

Jazz, is there anyone doing worse than I am in the bets? There has to be. :smith:

I've got the touch of death. Everything I bet on dies.

Bet on opposing gladiators. We'll have an awesome double kill.

Edit: Oh well if it's impossible just bet on my opponent then :wink:

Have we ever had a double kill? I cant see it happening unless its with two ranged fighters.

Nooooooooo :smith:

Poor little dead guy. Oh well.

Synthbuttrange
May 6, 2007

Yeah, you'd really have been better off going with piercing and slashing attacks with a tiny guy. A bow would help.

Synthbuttrange
May 6, 2007

Oh in that case... uh, just the arrows?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
