After my highly effective betting last round it'll be nice to make other people lose money. (Though I'm definitely going to try my best.  )The last three have been stupendous you guys (the team behind this madness.) Thanks for continuing the butchery. I guess the moral here is insomnia is sometimes nice.

Whelp, I was going to just go in blind at 64 contestants and hope for the best, using a combination of things I've seen over the past three tournaments, but I guess if it's a single-elim 128-man. . . Strike the testing arena! (That formulae for combat makes my head hurt.)

Something I kept considering during the last tournament was a dual-spear ant woman. I'm almost tempted to give it a shot, but I suspect the results would be. . .well, messy.

Shorter Than Some posted:How is dual wielding at the moment? Is it still you get parries but no attacks with the offhand? If so is there a way to guarantee which hand is the primary? So for example you don't buy a steel sword that never gets used. Those were my main concerns in the matter, meaning I'd get little-to-no active defensive ability. And I honestly don't know what the situation is there currently, so I couldn't say. Maybe Vox can tell us. . .  V - Well then, I might have to swap my fighter. . .something to consider before we get going. Orv fucked around with this message at Jul 24, 2011 around 21:07 |

Ben Mattock is ready to go. As many people seem to have, I'm going into this only with knowledge gained from past tournaments. I suspect this is going to lead to the terrible and bloody murder of a full half of all fighters. Go get 'em, boy.

You know, I've never really considered the issue until now, but it's a good thing DF doesn't model ones junk, as in the great tradition of the arena, I have leather armor and boots. . .and that's it. I'm going to go wince in sympathy for a few hours. V - A loin cloth isn't going to do much against a battleaxe either way you. . .slice it.

I'm touched that someone placed money on Ben Mattock likely knowing nothing but his name. (Or that he's a minotaur, which is more likely.) I'm deeply sorry you'll never see your money again. Now to finally run some tests and see who to bet on.

I've gone ahead and bet on either; A. People with excellent names and less money on them than their opponent. B. Excessive long shots. I expect this to pay off big time.  Excellent fights so far, though the first one-shot-kill being smaller V minotaur worries me. . . (Edited for multiple cases of I Am A Dumbass With No Memory.)

Here's what may be a silly question; How much trouble would it be to modify attributes/raws/memory to allow for permanent injuries through-out a tourney? Not as in, say, if you loose a foot, you're done a foot. I don't think DF just allows you to magic someones foot off, but just a minor stat penalty or somesuch? It probably wouldn't make for very fun gameplay in a lot of cases, and there would be an excellent chance of one large fighter coming through relatively unscathed and ruining the final rounds, but it's something I've been thinking about.

I'm 2 for 5 as a result of betting on cool names and people with low bets on them as opposed to their opponent. That'll teach me.  Looking forward to Vox running my match and calling me out for purchasing the wrong weapon material as my poor minotaur detective fails miserably. On the bright side, doing better then Synth.

Red Dragon posted:Minotaur detective? Ben Mattock, Minotaur Detective? 50 bucks an hour, lunch fee if working before noon. Will not work for dwarves, witches or old gods. "Angry Conrad" his steel maul is included in the hourly price. E: Changed name of maul to something more appropriate. (Yes, he should be a lawyer, but I don't think there's much suing in the DF world. Lots of revenge killings, not a lot of legal preceedings.)

Red Dragon posted:A goblin is small, craft and sneaky. A minotaur is huge and slightly more obvious. If I had to choose a mythological private dick, it wouldn't be the one with horns, just sayin'. He also does a passable "Why no officer, I have no idea why this poor goblin is shredded and pulped just before his first match" innocent act. (I'm getting way too into this idea.

AmadeusVonBlastoise posted:I was really counting on facing someone eschewing armor for more killing power. At least this Serpent (wo)man didn't try to wrestle the opponent's pinky toe. Well, I was kind of worried about both serpent men, scourges and having his feet (hooves?) cut off, so I think it's just poor luck that she tried to bite his chest instead of something else. Which uh, is quite a way to unhinge ones jaws, so I guess she had that going for her. Still, happy to win my first ever fight in the arena.

Locomotive breath posted:Come at him bro, come at him. I feel like you should be punished for this, but that may be the turkey talking. Or it may be so finely crafted that it indistinguishable from art.  I see that Mino V Mino is 2-2 so far in the history of the tournament. You're going down Red Dragon, even if only by freak accident. Fake edit: Upon further chart examination, it seems like the only race minotaurs have a negative record against is elves. Clearly one of us (us being our minotaurs) needs to rectify that.

Red Dragon posted:After careful examination, I think our Minoes are so equally matched, it's gonna come down too pretty much a coin toss either way. Is the Elf thing down to them as their dishonourable shooty weapons? Mostly I just don't like elves. Sure they shoot you, but who cares about a tiny stick. They also look good strung up and vivisected, if Black Isle RPGs have taught me anything, so you know, go wild. Also, yeah, my armor isn't going to help me any against a hammer, so I just have to hope I "built" him better than you did. Chances are low!
