Gladiator -poly- 2 "The Competition"

[Drogue]

Jamski: You put 40 defense in two, you're weaker for the third. So it is always possible to hit, no matter what the other person does.

And no, I haven't for 35 attack for two almost. It's just not necessary, and leave me too open. You could do a couple of 10 0 40 hits and kill me. Higher power is my safeguard, because if you try to hit me, you'll have to lower you're defense. I'm presuming you're not going to just do 0 0 0 for attack, since that would be utterly boring, and wouldn't help you're cause, since you could never hit me.

Welcome again fight fans [Yawn] to the continuing exciting combat between Lord Drogue of Antonie and Jamski-San. Skanky, what do you make of the action so far?

"Damn good drinkin' fight."

The combatants start ....but the end result is no hits for either. They both step away from each other baffled by the others defense.

(Jamski has 39 points remaining, Drogue has 60 points remaining).

(Hey don't expect a big story for a bunch of misses, me want blood!).

[Jamski]

Heh. And I tried to hit you Drogue

[Drogue]

I tried to hit you too! Methinks someone's not using a full 50 on one line, lest some of my hits would have struck

Spaced: If we don't hit at all, a big story isn't needed!

[Jamski]

You'll never work out my defensive powers, Drogue!

-Jam

[Drogue]

Well, actually, knowing my attack last time, and that you're defense must be higher, coupled with the fact it's a brilliant strategy, having low attack, high power once, and high defense the other two, banking that I'm going to have no defense in one place when I try my attack. You don't get hit unless we both get the same turn where we go for our attack, and at that point with me having no defense and you having high power, you score a large hit. No way to defend against it without just putting defense up and not scoring any hits.

[Jamski]

Hah, I thought you might have worked out my tricks. It appears not

-Jam

[Snowflake]

This battle has started to become more and more like a debate.

[Drogue]

Jamski: Then I am glad. Anything else is foilable

HongHu: Only because that wimp won't lower his defenses and attack!

Speaking of which, bring on the results of round 6

[Jamski]

I HAVE to play this round carefully, because you are foolishly trying to kill me in one round

-Jam

[Drogue]

I'm not! I said I wasn't going to leave you on one, because I can't do 38 damage without having virtually 0 defense all the time, meaning you could do a small attack and 31 power twice and kill me. I want to keep my advantage. I am attacking, but there is no way I'm leaving myself that open, when you have effectively nothing to lose. The only way you can win is by hitting me hard, since anything else will invole either tiny hits (not doing enough to matter, while risking me doing decent amounts) or where we both hit each other.

[Jamski]

Nah, the only way YOU can win is if I hit you hard... I know what you want me to do

-Jam

[Drogue]

How else can you win? What other thing can I not defend against?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Welcome again fight fans to the continuing exciting (verbal?) combat between Lord Drogue of Antonie and Jamski-San. Skanky, what is you take on the action of the last rounds?

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz."

Skanky?

"Huh...What, Oh wow! What a fight I tell you! I haven't seen this much excitement since I painted myself into a corner and had to wait for the paint to dry before I realized that there was a door way to another room right behind me. Ah, those were the dayz."

Voice from the crowd: "Come on ya little sissy boys. Can I have the next dance?"

Allllrightly then, back to the action. Jamski looks to put up another defensive struggle because Drogue is on the attack again. He deftly swings at Jamski who manages to block the powerful swing just in time.
The sheer power of the swing left Drogue's defenses in shambles as Jamski was able to execute a compacted thrust right at the head of Drogue. The tip of his blade found the right eye of Drogue, and Jamski ended his thrust in a pop of clear fluid, blood, tissue, and a slice of eyelid.

Drogue stepped back howling in pain, and both contestants assumed a defensive posture for the rest of this round.

(Jamski has 39 points remaining, Drogue has 50 points remaining).

(Staying interesting, you can come from behind if you play the right strat.)
