I propose that just for this test tournament, we give them each an extra 750 dwarfbucks to bet with!

As every good loan-shark knows, you need a steady supply of fresh fish to keep a racket turning.

Great stuff, ZeeToo! I particularly appreciated you taking the time to list the fighters, what race they were, and who managed them. Made it all significantly more meaningful. Thanks :)

Oh hells yeah, bigger fights mean better deaths! Question is, does this make archers more viable, or less?

Well, increased firing rate will definitely mean that they're more viable either way. But I suspect 4v4 will give archers longer to be useful in.

Also, yay for extra slots opening up at a vaguely useful time for Europe! Having all the spaces vanish between 3am and 9am _AGAIN_ would have been kinda depressing :)

My fellow 11-ites, I've taken the liberty of renaming us to Team Legs, given our massively-skewed arm-leg ratio. Please feel free to change it to something else!

May Armok have mercy on our poor, doomed souls.

That was epic. I would describe it as a nail-biter, except that I think nails were about the only thing that escaped unscathed.

Every team now needs a TLA

"Team Legs" doesn't really lend itself to a good TLA. Just "LEG", perhaps?

Well done, Slade Gauntlets! I had faith that you could do it :)

As for builds, Altoid was based around affordability, to get through the first round. He concentrated on dodging and fighting, with some lesser skill in maces, armor, shield use, and other odds and sods I could pick up for 5 spare points. Armor was mid-range full coverage, with a multi-layer torso. Weapon was a silver mace throughout, and I picked up a shield later. I should have gone for twin picks instead...

I'm on a really loathesome deadline, so this weekend is a clusterfuck, but once it's out of the way some time next week, I could help a bit. That might be too late for you, though.

Narrower attribute ranges sound like a good idea. No objections to mace reclassification.
