Sent.

Considering that if they don't make a dramatic return soon they'll be fed to the lions, I wouldn't consider that an option.

maybe all 3 of us that were KO'd are stuggling with the rules then!

[Kassiopeia]

Interesting that we both got knocked the wind out of us when the round before that we were still leading Skanky by 15 to 25 hit points. We also got utterly demolished in the first round, losing about half of our HP, so I surmise that the lazy git used the same set against us both.

[gjramsey]

that would be my guess. lazy and sorta impressive at the same time.

don't we get a bonus point for the KO as well as the tie???

[Skanky Burns]

[DrSpike]

No.

Who knows? Oh yeah, me and Skanky. And anyone who can interpret the results correctly.

Got results from everyone except the absentee duo and DrSpike. Perhaps I should give him all 11s?

Uhhh... no.

You also lose 2 pts. for not reading the rules.

j/k

I'm open to suggestions on how to finish this off. Since it looks like we'll have 4 contestants left to choose from a pool of five, I was thinking of a a wildcard round between the 4th and 5th place holders. That would also save me the trouble of having to recalculate yet again all the scores, as I'd just figure it out from the current results.

[DrSpike]

Since it's five I say the top 2 play for the title.

Have tabulated the results, for both the wildcard option and having removed scores vs. Drogue/Chaunk/Ljube. I'd like some more input before I wrt the semis/finals before I post them. I'm leaning toward the wildcard myself, just because the many withdraws have screwed up the game a bit, and I think a wildcard would be a last chance to settle things. What you think?

[Skanky Burns]

I don't care, as long as I'm not in the finals. The winner should have to work for their title.

If it is only 5 this half jokey suggestion seems fairest. Whittling from 5 to 4 is just silly.

[Kassiopeia]

Easy for you to say, you'll probably be in the top 2.

On the other hand, maybe we'll be able to get this game over with and start anew with Gladiator VI, so I agree with Spike.
