Gladiator IV - The fights begin!

[Theben]

Now all we must do is wai for JBytheway and his "This took longer than I thought" commentary.

[J Bytheway]

No, you just had to wait for me to sleep, and now you have to wait for me to attend a lecture. After all, some of us are busy .

[Theben]

That's right, you're a Brit git. However your priorities are messed up- how dare you delay our entertainment to merely attend a "lecture".

[DrSpike]

Patience. After all he is prolonging your life.

[J Bytheway]

OK, I'm back - now I'll find out if it'll take longer than I thought...

[Chaunk]

Wow, Thebenius Maximus is really taking it to the Doc...

[J Bytheway]

Which gives the following table of results (which is, of course, subject to change pending the results of the second round):

#	Name		We	Ar	Pl	Wo	Ti	KO	Lo	Pt
1	Jamski-San	10	10	2	1	0	0	1	3
2	Hercules Romani	16	4	2	0	1	0	1	1
3	Theben		9	11	2	1	1	0	0	4
4	The Doctor	20	0	2	1	0	0	1	3
5	The Ram		7	13	2	0	0	0	2	0
6	Chaunk		9	11	2	2	0	0	0	6
7	Spacius Maximus	15	5	2	1	0	0	1	3
8	Smasher		20	0	2	1	0	0	1	3

So, in a suprising turn, the quiet newcomer Chaunk is leading the table, with Theben in second and a most other players on 3 points. The Doctor in particular seems not to be up to his previous form.

Our other newcomers Hercules Romani and The Ram are not faring quite so well, but they're certainly not doomed yet.

Most of these rounds were fairly mild, but I'd like to draw atttention to the particular brutality of Theben vs. The Doctor, and the impressive performance of the Smasher against Jamski-San, whose bamboo shield is clearly utterly ineffectual against the power of those blows.

[J Bytheway]

14 minutes. Not too shoddy .

[DrSpike]

Hehe nice one Theben. I think it's too early after one round to write someone off as not up to their previous form though.

[J Bytheway]

This is the round where I am most likely to have made a mistake, so please do check the results and confirm that they are reasonable and possible given the orders you submitted.

I am now accepting orders for the second round of these matches, against the same opponents.

Oh, and ljcvetko, when I put square brackets on the template for orders, I didn't intend that you should put the entries in square brackets, it was just to emphasize the fact that you should write the value for attack, rather than the word "Attack", etc. So, you needn't bother adding those brackets next time .

Hey, this is probably my only opportunity to take a poke at you for being slow .

[Jamski]

You screwed up.

BIG TIME

Nah, no problem, but you have made a big error somewhere.

Sorry, but there is no possible way that result vs Vlad is correct. You have me doing 0, 0, 10 damage, when I didn't even attack with the final blow of the three. Please recheck.

-Jam

[Chaunk]

Not so. Your attack is 10, his defense is 0. If you put nothing in attack and power, you're automatically swinging with a 10 attack, power 10.

[Jamski]

Do weapons add directly to power like that?
