Thanks to SynthOrange for posting about this in the megathread. I've missed you, arena challenge. I still have the dismembered bits of Happy Fun Stuff displayed proudly on my mantlepiece.


Secretely-a-snake-man-in-real-life Stephen Harper has joined the tournament, given that he's probably going to be out of a job come Monday (please god let him be out of a job come monday :pray:)

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:

I was really pulling for a Canadian Politics Showdown, but alas Stephen Harper v Rob Ford will have to wait.

Also I'm thinking I need some points in dodging

Actually, it might be neat to put the betting totals at the top of the match writeups, so we know who's favored in the bets.

Bets betted, points pointed. Judging by the betting ratios we are going to get fully owned next round. That or I'll become insanely rich. Hopefully my strategically timed upgrade turns me into an invulnerable murder machine.

Oh my god I did not expect that to be a win. I saw a dwarf with a greataxe and started having 'nam flashbacks. The betting ratio didn't help either.

Stephen Harper has really been pulling his weight lately and I am loving pumped about that, considering that for the first couple matches of the tournament I was convinced he was going to be 100% useless.

I dont understand him either.

I had that exact same build in the last tournament (well, 2 weapons instead of a shield) and I was helpful. You bruise a lot and I dont know why you dont fracture bones. It's weird.

Honestly, I'm getting the feeling that serpent men are sorta weak - I've been wondering if I should have just gone for a biting build instead, because the impression I'm getting from the combat logs is that Stephen just isn't hitting hard enough in most cases.

I don't get how Petting Zoo is the favorite. I mean, I'm glad and all, but I give us a 50/50 chance of winning this thing. The guys are too big and too armored for our team.

I mean, technically that means I don't have any incorrect targets - I don't see how we can lose!

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

Alone she loses every time.

That doesn't count!

Antwoman got limbs removed, was grounded, and didn't do poo poo until Cowman took down ShortName, with Belmole and Harper keeping two others occupied. When Cowman turned so it was a 2v1 against Face, then Antwoman was able to do something.

Harper didn't take a single hit that entire fight did he?

A couple, actually. A scratch along the arm, a bruised gut and I think a bruised arm. That oak shield deflected like a motherfucker though. I'm thinking of maybe upgrading it so that when I bash peoples' heads in with it, it'll have an effect besides making a hollow 'thunk' sound
