Since we can't be sure, carry on. If home field advantage is that good, we'll just have to make sure everyone plays the same number of home games.

As much as I'd like Three Gremlins in a Blender to claim a hat trick on their home debut, the dubious kills panel insists that one goes to Candy Corn Tiger:

Combat Log posted:

Candy Corn Tiger_Skeletons slashes Goku_Furry in the head with his iron halberd and the severed part sails off in an arc!
Goku_Furry has been struck down.

Meaning that all three of our meleeists got a kill, ably assisted by our heart-shooting Kobold marksman. :black101:

Bowbolds are pretty effective in a team lineup, most of my testing had them making significant contributions whilst the meleers got on with the murder. A pure bowbold team died very, very quickly, but having just one made for some surprisingly good results.

I took the liberty of tallying up everyone's kills.

Halfway through round three, we have several fighters tied on five kills each:
Srirarcha Fartstorm Returns of Worse Munki
Three Gremlins in a Blender of Spooky Scary Skeletons
Albrik the Insignificant of Worker Cooperative
Dusseldwarf of Subterranean Animists
Qwarf of Subterranean Animists

Who will be the first to break the team-and-a-half barrier?

I'm noting that half and half down for Experiment 22's tally, owing to the last hit before SN bled out. Sriracha Fartstorm Returns doesn't improve on their kill count, meaning Albrik is still out in front.

At the end you can see what kinds of weapons are best for racking up kills. I'd assume slashing.

Provided the builds stay the same, yes, though we need to factor in physical attacks and wrestling where that earns a kill.

Every division so far has a pathetic whipping boy team. Lightly Whipped, A furry, farmer and two cows and A Tarantino Film have only managed one kill each in their humiliating defeats. This Bites haven't even achieved that. Not one enemy has fallen to them.

The last match of this round will see the Plump Helmets try to join the Subterranean Animists on three wins out of three. If they achieve a flawless victory, they get a double digit kill difference as well. Their opponents are A Tarantino Film. Will the whipping boys ascend to the ranks of the adequate, or will we see a new front runner stride forth?

A Tarantino film confirmed as whipping boys. Plump Helmets join the Subterranean Animists as unbeaten frontrunners.

Now let's get this show on the road.

The first inter-divisional round sees the Helmets, leaders of Syrupleaf, face the Spooky Scary Skeletons, leaders of Gemclod. The Animists face Team 13, with the Heavyweight Horrorshow off the top of Boatmurdered only by kill difference. There are no all-whipping boy matches.

The front runners for top kill count are as follows.

6: Albrik the insignificant
5: Sriracha Fartstorm Returns, Three Gremlins in a Blender, Dusseldwarf, Qwarf and Dory.
4: 7 gladiators
3: 3 gladiators
2: 12 gladiators
1: 16 gladiators
0: 20 gladiators.

The divisional top killers: Srirarcha for Boatmurdered, Three Gremlins for Gemclod, Albrik for Syrupleaf and Qwarf and Dusseldwarf for Bronzestabbed.

Wouldn't it be fairer to wait another round before dropping the advantage, so all teams have had 2 home rounds?

No, because we reinstate the bonus for the last three rounds, which are the reverse fixtures for the first three. Everyone ends up with 3 home, 3 away and 12 neutral.

Wow! A spectacular double bill of arena murder, as This Bites overcome the ignominy of leaving their division with no blood on their hands to take out a massive favourite in Go Big and/or Go Home 4-1! This means I finally have to put them on my kill tally sheet. On top of that, the champions of Gemclod have given the first defeat to the champions of Syrupleaf! Spooky Scary Skeletons draw level with Plump Helmets on overall kills with 13 apiece, but are ahead on kill difference by a single point. In the individual standings, Three Gremlins in a Blender joins Albirik the Insignificant at the summit with 6 kills, whilst Candy Corn Tiger's impressive hat-trick elevates him to the second tier on five kills.

Make the tie-breaker the number of lopped-off limbs, in my (completely unbiased) opinion :black101:

Right. Extremity removal by the current top 3.

Albirik:
3 heads
1 right lower arm
1 left foot
1 left lower arm
1 left upper leg
1 lower body

Total: 3 decapitations, 1 chop in half, 3 limbs, 1 terminal extremity.

Three Gremlins:
2 left lower arms
5 heads
1 left front leg
1 left rear leg
1 upper body
1 right upper arm
2 right hands
1 right lower arm

Total: 5 decapitations, 1 chop in half, 6 limbs, 2 terminal extremities.

Stumpy:
1 right paw
1 right hand
3 heads
1 right upper leg
1 left lower leg
1 abdomen
1 right lower leg
1 left lower arm
1 left foot

Total: 3 decapitations, 1 chop in half, 4 limbs, 3 terminal extremities.

Looks like Three Gremlins in a Blender is just about ahead.
