FG: Gladiator V: "Who is your Daddy?"

[DrSpike]

After this round we can set a 48 hour limit (adjusted for weekends) and penalise those not complying in some way. Unlike the round robin this format wont get screwed too badly if someone drops.

Not sure if you are serious or not, but I hope not. Gladitor seems to be a slow game at best, and has already died a slow death more then once, I wouldn't push for two less players or this game will die too.

Further, if we were reduced to 6 players, how would you suggest we decide a winner? Soon we would have 3 players, and then what? One of them gets a by to the final?

Spaced, not sure if you have posted this already, but how will this game be decided? Battles to the death? 2 sets of 3 rounds? or......???

We've been through this before. No viable option has been brought forth that everyone can agree on for someone who does not get their orders in on time. Hence on player can drag the game to a complete halt.

I'm going to pm JB, however, if JB does not respond soon, I'll see if Kassi can stand in for him, which might be the best alternative, that is having someone else submit orders for those who are exceedingly late.

5. There will be eight players in the quater finals, each woth 100 hp. The winners of the semi-finals (4) will fight with 150 hp. The winners of the semi-finals will fight in the championship bout with 200 hp.

I don't think it is, but maybe that's just me

It doesn't seem to answer my question, but as it doesn't indicate a number of rounds and given your answer to my question, I think I can safely assume that the fights are to the death.

Hmmm...fights to the death, yeah that is what I intended, but what do you think of carry over hit points.

You start with 100 in the quarter finals, then if you win proceed to the semis with what you had left +75, and then to the final with what you had left +100.

Somewhat realistic since some of the real fight tourneys that I've seen make it easier for those who finish their opponents quickly (1st round knockouts) as opposed to those who have to go the distance. Especially true when the tourney matches are all on the same day.

[Sparrowhawk]

Sounds good to me, but I am still pretty much a rookie at this game so I will leave this up to the Gladiator experts of the past 4 games (or is that 7?)

On a related note, not sure the thread title is right as the last Gladiator game was VII so this one should be VIII.

I was going to PM Rah and request he change it, but I doubt he would unless the starter of the thread (Spaced Cowboy) requests it.

The objections were (as I said) more relevant to the round robin. If someone beats a player for that player then to drop there is no good way of dealing with it in round robin. In knockout that's not as true. Sure if you play an inactive player you might get a boost in the quarters, but it's much less objectionable than disadvantaging other players who might not make the quarters as a result.

I don't like it for the simple reason if you play an easy player you take in an advantage against (a perhaps better) player who won a tough match.

Bored by the break DrSpike breaks into Jamski's abode and places itching powder one his sleeping mat. He can't help but notice the posters of himself plastered all over the room.

Sent. Sorry for the delay, but as I said before, exams will affect my reliability, and it didn't help that you failed to link to this thread in the old one .

[Sparrowhawk]

Orders sent.........looks like one of Gamecube or I (or maybe both ) was a little too defensive........you did say these ones are to the death right? Could make for a long match
