Oh, shoot, this started. I was too busy to place bets and remember to update my fighter. I also mixed up whips and scourges. :downs:

Sorry, team.

Is anyone interested in me making a post about armor coverage and weapon specifics, including pics of what their equivalents would look like in real life?

That would own a whole lot and I would read the hell out of it, actually.

This is fighting at work. Consider them attacks of opportunity.

I know that in my head, but seeing it in the combat log is really absurd, especially when my tiny-rear end kobold is kicking off peoples' ears.

Late, but sorry, Worker Coop. I totally forgot I could actually modify Axolotl between rounds. :negative:

Considering I don't know how to make Unthrottle not bad, I agree with the negative sentiment towards whips. :negative:

you've got a scourge, which is apparently better since unthrottle has managed to kill things

Swapped it out for a silver whip last round because copper wasn't cutting anyone anymore.

Granted I haven't really had a chance to hit anything with the whip, considering how fast Unthrottle got lambasted last match. :v:

wait what, unthrottle was empty-handed? uhhh where did i gently caress up

e: thank christ it had no impact on the match, but that's pretty awful if i accidentally sold my weapon

Too lazy to look. What was the weapon? Please tell me it was steel.

Naw, silver whip.

In my defense I'm pretty sure I actually was drunk when I was fiddling with her last. :v:

I know I've been checking the thread/site daily to make sure I remember to buy Unthrottle a weapon for this next round. :v:

Screw it, crowdsourcing this: is bronze or iron better for a flail? :v:

# ¿ Feb 18, 2016 22:11

Zwingley: Sep 20, 2011; "My dear Seth, you look absolutely dashing!"; Hair Elf

Oh, whoops. I meant scourge, not flail. :downs:

I know heavier is better for blunt weapons, but I'm an idiot and typed the wrong thing.

# ¿ Feb 18, 2016 23:20

Zwingley: Sep 20, 2011; "My dear Seth, you look absolutely dashing!"; Hair Elf

i mean i would love to have the points for that right now, but

Looking back at my dad's weapon effortpost and the OP, it seems like iron and bronze are equal in cutting power, but I'm not sure if/how much the mass of the weapon would contribute. Bronze is heavier, but would it slow down my babby kobold at all? That's basically what I'm looking at here.

Isnt there someone with an iron scourge that is unblooded? Hell, maybe even uninjured?

Unthrottle had a copper scourge for awhile and did alright with it. Much better than all the whip folks. :v:

I'd like to apologize to Comrades Combat Liberalism, Jameson the Unruly, and Albrik the Insignificant on behalf of my piece of poo poo kobold.

Maybe taking a rank in fighting hurt me more than it helped me. If KKKCCCHHHH had used the dagger two out of three times, it'd have been nice. :v:

I am sure 6 spots won't disappear in 3-4 hours...

(ffff-)

If it is full by the time you get home I'll pull Dork Roams and fork my spot over. Life is busy enough that I should probably sit this one out. :v:
