I did get yours, but 3 hours after theirs. Find another challenger and I will do your fight too.

'ey, I just swing my sword and hope to get something. Can't blame me for him being afraid to taste my blade.

The two rivals circle each other, looking for any signs of weakness. Suddenly they rush each other, sword and shield clashing in an impressive display of skill. When they seperate, however, it bcomes clear that neither received an injury.

Spikian of Physiciae - 10 hitpoints
Fratre Tassadarius - 9 hitpoints

That's why I say I need to work on my PMing skills.

Come on Spaced. I WANT TO FIGHT!

vovan · December 3, 2003, 22:50

So do I.

Hey, can I moderate this fight then, if I can't participate due to a lack of partner?

General Ludd · December 3, 2003, 22:53

Booo!!

Hissss!!

Where did Spikian and Tassadarius learn to fight, the brothel?

Indeed.

Now, I think Asmodean learned to fight from Mike Tyson.

But even that fight is more fun that that of Spikian and Tassadarius. We want BLOOD, not minor scratches!

vovan · December 4, 2003, 02:19

Vovanus Scipio Ursacius walks out into the stage, booing.

That's enough of the ladies' fights. I'm tired of watching fingers and ears cut off... I'm tired of watching minor scratches.

The blood will spill and it will spill now! I will fight one of you and show you how it's done! Let the Centurion announce my first target and let the fight begin!

Nubclear · December 4, 2003, 02:58

I'm willing to take on TWO BATTLES AT ONCE!!!

DEATH TO YOU VOVAN!!!! :mad;

Skanky Burns · December 4, 2003, 03:15

Vovanus Scipio Ursacius stands in the arena as Spikian and Tassadarius continue to dance.

Suddenly out storms Tyndareus Antleridus, armour gleaming and death in his eyes. He pushes past the other two gladiators and charges directly towards Vovanus. They fight!

Tyndareus strikes with accuracy, causing 3 damage. Vovanus replies with lightning reflexes and is almost blocked, but not quite. Tyndareus reels from the blow, now down by 4 health. The crowd cheer at the sight of significant amounts of blood.
The two move apart and begin circling again.

Vovanus Scipio Ursacius - 7
Tyndareus Antleridus - 6

Possible rule inclusion:

Allow being attacked by two people at once. You will need to allocate points towards defence for each enemy, and skill to attack each enemy. Power could probably be the one number - swing it just as hard at both enemies.

For example:
Attack Jamskius 2, Attack Skanky 2
Defend Jamskius 2, Defend Skanky 2
Power 2

Obviously with this system the person being ganged will be at a serious disadvantage. This rule might be an interesting inclusion though, perhaps even being used for a multi-person brawl.

If I survive this fight, YOU are NEXT! Fight like a man or DIE!

vovan · December 4, 2003, 03:53

Skanky

Interesting idea, with group fights, but I think then you would need a larger limit on the number of points you have. Otherwise, there would be very little variance in the distribution of orders. I'd say, if between three and four people are in a fight, everyone gets double their normal points. five or six - triple.

DrSpike · December 4, 2003, 05:26

I sent brutal orders for round 3...........is Tass too scared to respond?

Nubclear · December 4, 2003, 05:55

My orders were sent a long while ago

Are you too afraid to CRITIQUE "Gangstas"?

DrSpike · December 4, 2003, 06:19

Well I sent my orders last night, so maybe Skanky Meridius is off at the whorehouse again.

Nubclear · December 4, 2003, 06:32

You didn't answer my question

Sheep · December 4, 2003, 06:41

Asmodeon where are you with my fight? I send m orders in a while ago.

Skanky Burns · December 4, 2003, 06:57

I didn't receive your orders, Spikie. Please resend.

Asmodean · December 4, 2003, 07:06

So crowd...we are gathered here to witness this most epic of fights:

Round 1 of the championship battle between ADG Mysterius and Sheepus of Germania. The contestants have been warming up all morning, and they should now be ready for the bout.

The contestants are circling each other, trying to spot an opening in the defenses of the opponent. Both have advantages in offense but the defense of ADG looks superior to that of Sheepus, what with his sword and shield, while Sheepus only has a net and a trifork.

Suddenly Sheepus throws his net at ADG. The crowd roars....but he misses, and ADG moves past the trifork to lash out at Sheepus with his sword. Sheepus has no chance to dodge, and ADG cuts a gash in Sheepus right arm for two points damage.

Sheepus quickly recovers, though. He has his net secure again, and quickly throws it at ADG Mysterius. This time he catches ADG on the wrong foot, and the net holds ADG. Sheepus follows up with a stab from the trifork - it sinks in to the left thigh of ADG for three points damage.

So after round 1 ADG Mysterius has 7 points remaining, while Sheepus of Germania has 8 points remaining.

Asmodean

Skanky Burns · December 4, 2003, 07:29

Vovan and Vlad both need to resend your orders too.
Neither of you have 10 points left, so you can't allocate 10 points this round.

Jamski · December 4, 2003, 08:25

YAY! Blood on the sand! Mars invictus triumphalis!

I may have to ressurrect Jamskius Secondus

-Jam

Skanky Burns · December 4, 2003, 08:39

No complaints here.

DrSpike · December 4, 2003, 10:01

You're just guilty because you killed him.

Btw I'll resend in a minute.

Adagio · December 4, 2003, 10:06

Nooooo..........

I'll send the orders for round two in a few minutes... waiting for both orders for 2nd round...

Adagio · December 4, 2003, 10:27

Hmm... I'm kinda getting lost at the moment... are we still playing the tournament, or did we go over to play "Fight against me, or be branded as a coward!"

And what happens if:

Player1: Attack 2, dodge 3, power 5
Player2: Attack 3, dodge 2, power 5

Player1 attacks as hard as Player2 dodges, and the same the other way around...

Skanky Burns · December 4, 2003, 10:44

If attack = defence then it is a hit (as per DrSpike's ruling in Jamski and my fight).

Skanky Burns · December 4, 2003, 10:52

The two rivals circle each other, looking for any signs of weakness. Spikian spots an opening and lunges. Tassadarius however had already spotted the calculating look in Spikian's eye, dropped his sword and ran with all his might away from his opponent. No attack was made by him.

A random stable-hand passes Tassadarius a replacement sword as once again calls from the crowd for blood grow louder.

Spikian of Physiciae - 10 hitpoints
Fratre Tassadarius - 9 hitpoints
