We have to think positive!

I am absolutely positive we are going to die horribly

We just need a name that will make the other gladiators feel bad about beating us.

Soft Puppies and Fluffy Lambs ?

Up to three mail shirts beneath a breastplate or suit of leather armor. Other types of armor (boots, gauntlets, helms/caps, greaves) cannot be layered.

The extra cost didn't leave much for skills, however

That's a blatant lie! We didn't really coordinate at all, and we spent almost the entire time pre-tournament arguing over our team name, and then how to punctuate our team name!

I didn't even know the team name

My plan is to put another shirt on when I can afford it and turn flynn into a pillbox

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

In Like Flynn joins Chaz Steadyfist on 7 kills. I thought one of the all-Dwarf team might join them, but with Qwarf taking an early fatality and Dusseldwarf only racking up one skull taken, Dusseldwarf only gets as far as the 6-kill second tier.


I'm almost embarrassed by this as Flynn's skill level is pathetic. He's kill stealing like a pro, but I think it shows the effectiveness of picks

Yeah, reading the combat log there was an awful lot of bruising through steel armour messages than I originally thought,so maybe I was too quick to draw a conclusion. However, anecdotally my fighters have always been much more effective with a pick than any other weapon

That's why you would pick a dwarf, i thought?

Yup, I made In like Flynn a dwarf specifically for that reason, thinking to armour him up to give it time to kick in, but this is all theoryfortessing because I do no testing at all

In Like Flynn is laying down a marker! That hat-trick of kills takes him to thirteen dead by his hand, enough to have soloed three entire teams with a death to spare. He's averaging just shy of two kills every single round!

My gladiators success is in stark contrast with my betting success, I should bet on my own team more

Finally Chaz comes up against a real gladiator who shows him how to do it

Thanks to my team to allow Flynn to steal another 2 kills

Oh well, just happy we treated the petting zoo like the little bitches they were, beating them home and away

I hit things
I hit them, with a pick
Then they fall down
Is this what they call "strategy"?

See, we don't need to strategize when it appears we have an identical viewpoint

I've started a conversation with myself in the hells dentists channel, a most illuminating discussion so far

I mean, the fact that the whips are being wielded by gremlins and a dark gnome may have something to do with it. Size is a direct multiplier in the combat damage formula.

You could use this arguement for any weapon used by the small races, but if they're getting kills more regularly with other weapons then it points to a problem with whip damage.

If whips are equally deadly as other weapons, then the size multiplier should be tweaked in favour of the little guy, otherwise there wont be any point in taking a small guy over a large guy apart from thematically.
