Gladiator -poly- 2 "The Competition"

[Drogue]

In that case Sparky or The Doctor will win (prediction).

[DrSpike]

Well nice though that would be I'm not sure what people are basing these predictions on. All were free to choose the A/D modifiers as they saw fit.

But an analysis of strategies shows yours to be superior

Always.

Maybe you should have analysed prior to choosing! Btw I don't think we have conferred a huge advantage on ourselves.

So let me get this straight. We play each of the 4 opponents above for 3 rounds. The one who loses the least HP in each 3 round matchup wins. Then we play the other 3 in the same way. The 4 with the best win/lose ratio go to the semi's.

Is each round compared with the same of the opponents rounds. For instance, my first line will be compared with ADG's first line, to see if either of us hit, and how much damage we do?

So you need three lines adding up to 100?

Yes, but there will be another "turn" against those opponents, giving 6 rounds (lines) total. Your second turn will be exactly as the first with your choice of 100 points to spend. You will receive and update in the forum like this:

Drogue vs Skanky
1: Drogue hit, Skanky miss
2. Drogue miss, Skanky miss
3. Drogue hit, Skanky hit
Result: Drogue 85, Skanky 78

But, I will need to have all orders in before I start. And how do we deal with persons that do not post their orders. I am tempted to put them down as A11D11P11 for all three turns.

So the top 4 using win/loss record go through. But what about ties?

That sounds good

I would agree, with the exception that if someone has sent orders that are wrong (like HongHu) but one line is over 50, simply cut it down the highest attribute so that the line is 50 and add it to the same attribute on the lowest scoring line.

For instance, if I sent:

10-10-10
5-5-5
25-10-20

then simply cut 5 of attack3 and add it too attack2, so it ends up as:

10-10-10
10-5-5
20-10-20

It is then in the style they wanted (as close as possible) and legal

Making a mistake when you'v said you're away is not the same as simply not posting, and shouldn't be punished the same IMHO.

I will send as soon as you answer my question above. Don't start without me.

For non senders your suggestion is fine IMO.

I should have said win/loss/tie record.

I cross the ties for semis if we cross that bridge, but It may go down to the bout between the two.

[DrSpike]

That doesn't answer the question SC. Do you get 1 point for a win and half for a tie, or something different, like 1 win beating any number of ties?

[Jamski]

Should be 3 for a win, eh?

[Snowflake]

Well I've sent my corrected orders now hopefully.

Sorry,

4-4-1 beats
4-5-0

4-5-0 beats
3-3-3

It will be a comparison of wins then ties. So the idea is to win your bout.

So far I have "valid" orders from

HongHu
Drogue
ADG
Jamski

Still waiting on
Vovan
Dr. Spike
Skanky Burns
Urban Ranger

You have 18 hours to pm your move. We will be moving this along on schedule.

[DrSpike]

Right.........a good point to clear up though; I can't think of any others (bet you are disappointed )

Orders on their way.

This is so backwards... 4 spam merchants *wink wink* still haven't sent?
