Theben did not distribute all his points, we are waiting for him to correct teh error.

[DrSpike]

Hmm, if his points sum to less than 100 that's his choice and his problem I'd say.

[EPW]

I am not a heartless killer like you though. I shall give him 2 more hours starting now.

Semi-Finals: Round 3b


"Ludd's" body was unceremoniously thrown overboard, but Theben asked them to leave the head - he said he had a plans for it.

The two contestants walked into the ring. Theben walked towards the
decapitated head. He yelled at Spacius: "This is what I'm going to do to your head!" and he stamped down on it. But Ludd's head was like a greasy football, and instead of crushing it Theben slipped and sent the head rolling towards Spacius. There was a roar of laughter from the crowd as Theben fell to the ground.
The head rolled right to Spacius, who stopped it with his foot. He skerewed it with his sword and said to Theben: "This is what I'm going to do to your head!" He then flipped the head off his sword and punted it over Theben's head, over the tent, and out over the ocean. A splash could be heard a few seconds later.

[b]Theben vs. Spacius Maximus[/b]

Spacius laughed at his humiliated opponent. Theben brushed the dirt and shards of glass off his armor, to the glee of the spectators. Finally, both faced each other and were ready to fight. Theben was boiling over with rage, and Spacius was brimming with confidence. They circuled each other; each urging the other to strike. After some false starts, neither did. ([b]1:Miss![/b])([b]1:Miss![/b]) Then a spectator yelled: "Your a lousy dancer Theben!" This was too much for Theben, and he flared out at Spacius, cutting off his left ear.([b]2:Hit!(24)[/b]) Spacius was caught off guard and could do nothing to block Theben's attack. He screamed in pain as his ear flopped to the ground, and temporarily forgot all about the match.([b]2:Miss![/b]) Theben was in a vengeful mood, and in his rage cut off Spacius right ear as well!([b]3:Hit!(25)[/b]) Spacius screamed again, but this time regained his composure. Theben had picked up Spacius' ears and was holding them in front of his own and flapping them. He was yelling something at the crowd, though for some reason Spacius could hear him, but he assumed it was something insulting. So he sneaked up behind him and sliced off Theben's left hand!([b]3:Hit!(25)[/b]) Both gladiators fainted from blood loss and the round ended.

[b]Theben: 54 HP Spacius Maximus: 34 HP[/b]

1st time for everything, espec when in a hurry. Fixed now.

/me shakes his head at the dismal write-up of his character.

Just in time too. Results have been posted.

Orders

[DrSpike]

I think you were overly generous to Thizban there. Steward's enquiry.

[Theben]

Damage, if hit, is correct.

[DrSpike]

I meant generous in allowing you to change your orders.

[Theben]

I accidentally only allocated 98 pts. instead of 100. I put the remainder in power, 1 pt. in each hit. This was also my original intention.

In the past others have been allowed to do the same, including the time I notified Spaced that he only used 96 points (IIRC) against you (and you harped back then).

[DrSpike]

Don't remember that, but sounds quite likely.

Being able to count to 100 is kinda a prerequisite for being a good gladiator.

[Theben]

If we're mathematically deficient, you shouldn't have a problem beating either me or Spaced, so quit complaining.
