Gladiator IV - The fights begin!

[DrSpike]

Less more orders.

[Theben]

Spam? MOI?! Hmph. I'll have you note that was I intent on spamming, as you say, I would have made a 2nd post and not edited the last. Clearly you are in error!

And sent.

[J Bytheway]

Well, it's too late, because I'm going to bed. Lectures are all finished, though, so I no longer have that excuse for delays.

Doubtless I will dream of grapefruits and doorbells .

Vlad: Your orders are invalid and your PM box is full, so I can't tell you in what way. Please send replacements .

[Theben]

Does he need 'em like Jamski did?

[J Bytheway]

I shall reveal nothing until the proper time .

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Resent, and in the process of clearing out the PM box.

[Edit: Note the following commentary is inaccurate, because I made a mistake, so later posts for more details]

In an interesting turn, both Jamski and the Doctor manage astonishingly fast KOs (which forced me to rewrite spreadsheet formulae again, and also demostrates why I was wanting additional HP for the later rounds). Jamski pulls into the lead, with Theben in second and Hercules Romani and Spacius Maximus in joint third place. Despite his impressive KO, at least one of these matches must have a turnaround if our current champion wants to make the semi-finals, and he has control over only one of them.

Chaunk's earlier impressive performance seems to have petered out somewhat - could it be that his strategies have already staled? Nevertheless, he still has a chance to pull back against all his current opponents.

Hercules Romani appears to be executing an effective defensive strategy, since very little damage is done by either contestant in any of his bouts.

And, finally, it looks like The Ram stands a good chance of escaping the 'nil point' fate , although none of his matches are yet conclusive.

So, did smasher need extra points? Well, 10 more against the Doctor could have scored him a double KO, which would certainly have altered the standings somewhat.

Keep those orders coming, and stay tuned for the exciting finale of the Gladiator round robin .

My defensive strategy failed miserably. The Ram was too much of a challenge for me.

Your scores are currently invalid, as I am currently beating Thebenius, not losing to him as you have in the score table.

Yeah, I think that he made a typo in the sumarry page as well.

You (Chaunk) should be 3w1t 2l, while I should be 3w 4l.

Yes, you're right - there's something strange going on there... I'll look into it.
