Spermy Smurf posted:Teams will likely email each other to try to coordinate builds. Don't want 4 people with loads of armor and no weapons. Or maybe you do. I don't know. This game is a crapshoot. We could set up a Dwarf Fortress Slack group with channels for each team? Could be handy for the commissioners too, if you find Hangouts as annoying as I do.

Dasmause, Dark Off and Hihohe are apparently my squad mates. Hi guys. Are we doing Hangouts, Skype, IRC, email or Slack?

dasmause posted:(Former) Team 15, I changed the name. It's kinda-sorta the only decent thing I had in mind and is related to nothing and represents nothing, if you wanna change it, I don't mind I changed it to something I like better but likewise not especially attached to it. Add katzking at the hot mail on Skype to talk "strategy" (note: I have never had a fighter get past round 2)

Bene Elim posted:Blood splattered everywhere and a dissapointing ending? Perfect day for a Tarantino Film! Pikes are pretty deadly, I think you were unfortunate in being the fastest on your team and therefore the first to be targeted. Nice to kick off the tournament with a win, especially as my team elected not to coordinate at all!

Thanks for commissionering, Galick! It is a nonzero amount of work. My primary request from that write-up would be to name the manager of each fighter as well as the fighter itself. It always adds extra interest to a fight when you're rooting for

Ghostwoods posted:Given the randomness of both DF combat and the Arena Challenge process, I really doubt that a +1 to top skill is going to be especially significant. Give it a few rounds, and we'll get a better idea of how decisive it really is. You can't really fairly change it mid-season unless you're at a point where everyone has had the same number of home-field matches. This. A sample size of 4 is nothing. Let's see how it goes for a round or two imo. (The problem with giving ranks of Fighter skill is it may end up a nerf, as the fighter may take useless attacks of opportunity instead of using their main weapon.)

I suppose I should be glad that my fighter provided a spectacle, even if he was on the wrong end of things. I'll get you next time, Panty Thief.

One belongs to the Petting Zoo, one besmirches the Spooky Scary Skeletons, one befouls Cool Rad Awesome Pals, one blights A Tarantino Film, two cripple a Furry, Farmer and two Cows, two execrate the name of This Bites and three render Lightly Whipped even more of the ultimate laughing stock. Worth pointing out that everyone in this list is objectively a worse gladiator than Mogwai, a gremlin wielding two bucklers.

Just wanted to give props to Mogwai's manager for the surprise dagger replacing one of his bucklers. It could totally have worked. I wish my moleman had more points to play with

Bruising the conscience surely. So how many managers have forgotten this thread exists and aren't bothering to update their fighters? Wondering if those who get knocked out after this phase will get a chance to pick up someone else from the teams that make it through.

AJ_Impy posted:The difference between the Skeletons in 8th and Team Laser Explosion in 9th, with identical win/loss and identical kill difference, goes to the Skeletons' superior kills scored, by two skulls. I got all excited by this as I didn't think Laser Explosion were in with any sort of chance. Then I looked at our remaining scheduled opponents. We aren't.

I like how Spermy Smurf is now held solely responsible when fights aren't run. Whatever happened to... *looks at OP" Jazzimus, Silverminnow, Galick and possibly Anchors? Personally I had the foresight to back out of commissionering before this crazy huge tournament started

Yesssss that new bronze mail armour actually paid off! Thanks for a great fight write-up, Tink. e: Looks like things are gradually resolving: two teams out of Team Laser Explosion, Go Big and/or Go Home, and Worker Cooperative will be making the playoffs. If Go Big (home) do better than a 4-0 loss vs the Subterranean Animists (visiting) then they're through. Otherwise they tie with Team Laser Explosion. If Worker Cooperative (home) do better than a 4-2 loss vs the Plump Helmets (visiting) they're through; otherwise they're out. If Worker Cooperative go through AND Go Big and/or Go Home are tied with Team Laser Explosion, there will presumably have to be a tie-breaker fight between the latter two?

I'm so sorry Worker Cooperative, you were one of my favourite teams and it was painful having to root against you in that fight. But yesssss Team Laser Explosion makes the playoffs! Right up until this moment, I never thought that would happen.

As far as I can tell dasmause hasn't logged into the arena challenge site since a third of the way into the tournament and he hasn't updated his fighter. Do we need a new manager for Anthony? E: he has plat actually - will pm him Maugrim fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Jun 2, 2016 |

Search confirms that dasmause has not posted on the Something Awful forums since March 22nd. I reckon we can go ahead and assign his fighter to someone else. Jazz?
