Are Werewolves and Tigerman still the same stats? In the OP it looks like they have differences.

I doubt it'll matter as my fighter is probably going to die in the first round!

I think Bene Elim got gold boots and an adamantine shield (and the other early champions got a gold item of their choice up to the value of a gold shield), but how about just a gold crown for every champion?

That makes it unique and cool, but not actually a big mechanical advantage.

EDIT: Knowing dwarf fortress there's probably a % chance calculated of your crown blocking a headshot, but hey I don't mind getting a little advantage.

If a gold crown is the one thing that saves that fighter, I think that's just fair. And hilarious. BUT if they win the tournament again the next crown has to stack on top of the first one until they get a teetering tower of crown.

On one hand, I'm thrilled to see Stephen Harper getting his poo poo kicked in.


On the other hand, it would have been cool if he'd actually hit someone :smith:

Hitting people is overrated. Experiment Twenty-two hit someone and then promptly had her hands cut off.

Well, I didn't lose any limbs this time, but I did spend the whole fight getting stabbed and utterly failing to charge at people. I'll take that as improvement!

I think this is the first time Experiment 22 hasn't ended up with limbs lopped off! Looks like this experiment... is getting results.

Sorry.

Combat Log

Reading this, I'm amazed that Twenty-Two didn't have it in her to get a kill: she stabbed Trump's Vicious Discharge in the head four times but couldn't finish the job.

Despite not getting any kills, Experiment 22 managed to hack off 4 feet in that fight, with at least 3 of them coming after she'd been brought to the ground by a good stab.

What a good tiger.

Yess! Another kill for the pile! But I don't understand why Experiment 22 keeps biting all the bloody time - it's not like she has any points in it.

I am really regretting my copper sword. Reading through the last few combat logs has been repeated cases of 22 hitting people and being unable to cut through.

That sounds like a good idea - otherwise you're left in a position where you have to go through multiple rounds looking at the same weaknesses coming up time and again, just because you can't quite afford to fix the problem.

Why mess with a winning strategy? Lightly Whipped has the best streak in arena history going. It would be a terrible shame to break it.

Oh God. In our shots at greatness, we have created something terrible.

Given the streak Worse Munki have had, Lightly Whipped look to be almost their their exact opposite. The antiparticle to Worse Munki's particle.

Have we created BEST MUNKI?

I mean, telling would sort of spoil the mystery, don't you think? Then it'd just be a box.

I believe the base is 50, which is affected by your race. Trolls and other large creatures get fewer points, whilst kobolds get more. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, with that fight Experiment 22 doubled her kill tally. Take that, people who thought she was average!

wow there is ten thousand bucks for Worker Cooperative against their foes. As we have seen anything can happen, I recommend that everyone bet against WC to earn some sweet cash.

Probably worth noting that 80% of that figure is Cathode Raymond betting every penny they have on LW losing.

Ran more tests. 2v2 and 3v3 the team of Antwomen won 6 out of 6 times.

Alone she loses every time.

Maybe it was a betting upset, but SSS had like 8 less kills and a worse record than 2CWD. Not sure why the betting was the way it was.

Oh, so they did. Don't know why I got it in my head then that it was an upset.

Pretty much just sell most of her armour to buy an Iron Longsword and a bundle of ranks in Fighting.

Oh, I do like that idea. It means there might be a surprisingly good new addition to the playoffs, assuming they beat the 8th place team. In terms of picking the fighters to make up the team, the remaining one could be the losing fighter with the highest number of kills.

I love this shot, just because it's as if everyone steps to one side to let the arrow fly past, then gets back to fighting/being horribly murdered (delete as applicable).
