Hello Haystack, Mygna & Lorrdernie the team formerly known as "Team 5", I let the power go to my head and renamed us. How do you guys want to communicate to think up better names and other important things? I'm fine with pms or email, let me know!

I don't have pm's, but you guys can contact me at 'Mygna dot SA at gmail dot com'

Going for a liver blow on a dwarf? Low move, but just what one would expect from an elf, I suppose.

Taking 24 spear and maul attacks to the head before dying from blood loss. Looks like spending all those points on an adamantium skeleton wasn't completely worthless after all.

My gladiator once again living up to her name and my betting record recovered after the disastrous second round. Good times.

Two Chicks w/dicks are now level at the kill count summit with 13, with Stumpy making it a three way tie in the individual standings on 6.

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

An easy victory, but I fear that next rounds fight against the Subterranean Animists will be the real test.

Nice, betting all my money on my own team actually worked out for once!

By the way, I don't think it's mentioned anywhere how many teams will qualify for the play-offs. Is it only the division leaders, or will there be wild-cards for best runner ups?

I guess that's what happens when neither side invests many points in armour.

I believe in huge payouts them!

Suck and gently caress smashes Anthony's head open. As luck would have it (or was this planned?), Richard Kyanka has led Molegrim back to his teammates exactly as they killed the last opponent facing them.

Of course it was planned. I mean, do you think we're all just bumbling along with no idea what we're doing or something?

Yes. Yes, we are.

Huh, I appear to have accidentally bet on both sides of that fight. Still made a decent profit, I suppose.

I knew smuggling in a pair of silver knuckledusters would pay off eventually:

quote:

Suck and gently caress bashes Urist McLee in the upper body with her silver war hammer, bruising the muscle, jamming the right false ribs through the liver and tearing the liver!
Stumpy punches Urist McLee in the upper body with her right hand, bruising the muscle, jamming the right false ribs through the liver and tearing the liver!

And man, the next round is going to be brutal for betting, it consists almost entirely of very even match-ups.

That doesn't make suck and gently caress look too good...

Well, this is Dwarf Fortress, so there's a 50-50 chance that that was just the punch hitting the same spot and pushing the bone splinters in a bit deeper.

I'm trying to think of something one could do to prevent getting folded into a suitcase-sized chunk by a Yeti, but I'm honestly drawing a blank.

Stumpy would like to thank Krog 'Bonesmasher' for the relaxing mid-fight foot massage. Seems like elves are good for something, after all.

So loving close :negative:

That could have went badly if S&F died sooner or if someone had locked onto sn before the rest of his team died. But I think we've made it into the play-offs now, since there are only four other second-place teams who can tie or exceed our record and only one of those can beat us in total kills, right?

Can we do a match where there is a modest amount of acid at the bottom of the arena? It can act as sort of a time limit, "win the fight before your ankles melt" :v:

Briefly setting the temperature to 'Absolute zero' before switching it to 'Fire' gives gladiators about fifteen seconds of real time before bursting into flames :eng101:

Actually, our team is just going to send in stunt doubles this time since we're already qualified. Betting on us would be a terrible idea.

I never expected to come this close to tying the division in the end. Oh, and:

Making strategic decisions coordinated with the entire team is basically cheating, I demand a do-over!

Mygna

Bisecting someone with a spear should award an extra kill, in my definitely unbiased opinion.

Mygna

IIrc, the relevant combat related changes in this version are attack momentum/damage carrying through to adjacent body parts, the AI being smart enough to pull helmets off of unconscious foes before crushing their heads, and weapon and armour degradation, right? Anything I missed?

Mygna
Sep 12, 2011
So is anyone going to resist the siren's call of the shiny new toys, or is every fight in this tournament going to open with everyone standing around for a bit throwing poo poo at each other?

twf when Bad Munki's gladiator is not the most questionable one in your team.

Mygna

So far, throwing weapons seem to have the same flaws as bows. It'll be interesting to see how many actually decisive hits we'll see in the tourney, and if it's possible to get any of those with a build that doesn't cripple the fighters melee skills.

" Yes, that went exactly as planned", I confidently say, despite remembering literally nothing at all about this fighter I apparently designed one-and-a-half years ago.
