It looks like you used my orders against Smasher against Chaunk also. If his orders are correct, it doesn't affect the outcome, but he wouldn't have hit me on the 1st 2 swings.

Your diagnosis is correct on all counts. I've changed it above now, but the standings remain unchanged.

Now you've just re-entered the values from the 1st bout.

And another vote for simultaneous matches.

I'll take that challenge. I've a score to settle.

[DrSpike]

I like your spirit sir, and thus, I shall give you this one and only chance to forfeit the match, and save your pitiful life.

You cannot stand against me; I am the Doctor, and my rapier wit is death.

Ah, so the Doctor has a gauntlet too? *Makes notes*

Take three?

(You really have to keep your wits about you when GMing this thing, I have newfound respect for those who have done it in the past )

Feh. WHO was standing at the end of our round-robin? This is no unseasoned warrior you face now!

Did you re-check the other matches?

[DrSpike]

Ha! The round robin is mere child's play. Now lives (well, your life) are on the line. I shall not falter again.

See how you desperately seek for a reason to face an opponent other than myself! Pitiful.

Only your other orders. I know from past experience that my chances of noticing my own errors are pretty much nil, so I think I'll have to rely on the other players for that. If I did make an error it's likely to be something big like completely shifting a set of orders, so it should be fairly obvious.

Merely being generous, by looking for a way for you to advance to the final before I destroy you.

If the semi-finalists could tell me a little about their gladiators to aid me with my storytelling then I'd appreciate it - things like Jamski-San using a Katana and a bamboo shield. I can only take the whole chicken thing so far...

Which version do you want? The original Theben was an AD&D character of mine years ago. Extremely tough fighter, valiant, loyal, a leader, with a powerful hand-and-a-half sword swung with one hand, as a golem had destroyed his right arm. Well armored as well.

OR there's the Theben from an adventure written here in our very own OTF: Armed with a Sword of Litigation, a brassiere of protection (+5 vs. ferrets), and a Shield of Indifference- makes user immune to taunts, flame wars, and bad poetry. While our party was able to subdue the giant fire-breathing twin-headed ferret, it fell to a combination of tentacled bunnies and something akin to Vogon poetry. Alas that story is lost to the sands of time, for it was ****ing hilarious.

Hmm...

Now I am sitting here asking myself why I went for the KO against Doc. If I would have just stayed defensive....I would have made the finals. Damn, that was close.

Good luck to those in the finals, and hurry that shizzle up, so I can play again.

And very well you played against me, you read me like a book.
