Show me in the sense of posting it? Or do you know where I live .

It's very simple, all you do each round is copy and paste the competitors, and put in the orders. It works out everything, including points scored.

Great . Thanks.

And the most time consuming part is writing the stories at the end, but in the begining, there's a lot of matches. But it's quite fun

Yes. It's even possible I might learn some tactics... But I doubt it .

So, if I'm dropping out, that leaves 7 signups (7 listed in the first post, minus me, plus Drogue), right? There must be an 8th willing victim lurking somewhere...

I agree. Personally I'd go without, I think it gave a benefit to high weapon players that wasn't just personal style.

I think we wont get 12, but if we did prelims just to whittle down to 8 seems pointless. We should aim for 8-10, and if we get more, try and get to 16.

I'd say more than 12 - 8 in the knockout, 12 or less, 4 in the knockout. If, say, you had 14 entrants, sure, 8 isn't losing that many, but 4 is losing a lot. Too much, IMHO, from 14 to 4.

I'll post it as an attachment, with a note probably, when I'm online at home.

You will, I noticed it in Spaced's orders for the last one.

Yup. One player in particular abused the imbalance.

Yeah we're on the same page. 11-13 is no man's land where nothing is good. That's why I think if we get more than 9 or 10 we should wait and shoot for 16 or thereabouts, and whittle down to 8.

Yeah, think of it as a crash course without having to die.

I don't see us getting 16. I'd say cut of between 8 and 10, and whittle down to 4.

[DrSpike]

Sounds good to me.

[Spaced Cowboy]

I agree with 4, takes way too long to finish one up anyhoo. I'm still thinking about my weapons and armor.

[Theben]

Sweet, we suckered in Drogue. Methinks he couldn't live without his title.

After much deliberation, I think I'll pick some numbers almost at random: W15 A5.

Also, is there a GM yet? I didn't see anyone volunteer... I'd be happy to do that too, if you'd trust a newcomer .

Go for it. I was beginning to think I'd get stuck with it- not that I much mind, but I want a second crack at the Doc before I try GMing.

[DrSpike]

Bring it on.

Does that signify impatience ? How long do we wait for more contestants?

[DrSpike]

Nah, just chest bashing. We should wait for a few days, maybe start Monday?

You bringing a spinning shield or rapier wit to the fray this time?
