Oh poo poo. I've been really busy lately and I'm about to be away all weekend in a place with basically no internet.

I'll try and catch up on the thread today but if you need me to write up fights before Monday night, you're probably out of luck.

No worries. If you want a fighter in the tournament, though, you'd better hurry and submit one... there are only six spots left.

Kapow. Since I've had terrible luck with gremlins on my last two attempts, I've jumped up a size and entered Gnomelette the Dark Gnome. Woe betide whoever ends up on a team with her.

I just want to make sure that everyone is thinking up the most ridiculous weapon/skill combinations possible right?

If one team takes this serious it's going to be a bloodbath.

Also I would like to rename my fighter "Ramming Speed" please.

There should be a data/init/macros folder in the DF folder, you drop them in there.

Ctrl-L to load a macro, Ctrl-P to play the macro from the Create Creature screen.

I feel the same way about the company bearing the same name.

I'm torn. On the one hand, I got on team 1! That must mean it's the best team. On the other, Bad Munki is on it.

Silverminnow, Ablative. My fellow team 16-ers. We need to talk. Specifically, we need to talk about what we're gonna name our team, because that is a thing that we can do. I suggest Team Sexting, because I am mentally twelve.

Oh, also I guess we should coordinate builds a little bit. Want to do that over emails?

So heads up with Molemen. If you wear gauntlets you cannot carry a weapon/shield and instead it just gets strapped to your body.

Edit: Honestly I'm not seeing much of a difference in skill with the weapons if they are strapped to the body or wielded in a hand.

I've run some arena tests, and it looks like fighters "put away" their weapons if there are no enemies around. They'll re-wield their weapons if an enemy appears.

Are you seeing the weapon strapped to the body when your fighter is the only participant in the arena?

Hey! Lucky Team 13! Nice!

Looks like we have a good spread of sizes on our team too. A minotaur, a molmarian, and a kobold. I hope the kobold is an archer-- I'll definitely be melee.

This is why I'm going to be excellent at running the fights. I'm testing again, and yeah I think you're right. I looked before and after the test fights and that's it.

Sorry for the confusion and idiocy everyone.

Jazz, it would be much more convenient if we could lower our skills when making our builds so that we don't have to reset the entire fighter every time we want to adjust levels. I mean, you allow us to sell equipment before the round starts...
