| Huan12-29-04, 05:02 PM | :embarrass Roger that; believe me, none of you will be getting late fights/stories from me anymore. |
| T'Var12-29-04, 05:07 PM | T'Var (T'Var) vs Taryn Thunderstorm (Jindl): Huan No offence Huan but due to the last time Huan ran a fight with T'Var I lost a 1500gp item on a interpratation of Mirror Image that you made the caster and his mount duplacate, I would like a clarification up front. that casting said spell creates mirrors of the caster only and Not his mount |
| Ashenai12-29-04, 05:41 PM | T'Var (T'Var) vs Taryn Thunderstorm (Jindl): Huan No offence Huan but due to the last time Huan ran a fight with T'Var I lost a 1500gp item on a interpratation of Mirror Image that you made the caster and his mount duplacate, I would like a clarification up front. that casting said spell creates mirrors of the caster only and Not his mount All right, here's my ruling on Mirror Image while mounted. The Elders can override this ruling anytime they want to; until they do, it's in effect. If you're mounted and you cast Mirror Image, only you are duplicated; your mount is not. However, this gives your opponent no help if he's trying to attack you; all of the images seem to be sitting on the same horse. You can imagine them leaning in different directions, for example. The fact remains that--while your opponent can attack the mount with no miss chance--if he attacks you, he'll have to deal with the Mirror Image as normal. |

| Ayatoshi12-29-04, 06:01 PM | I was wondering why Aureus Wasn't paired because he wasn't updated but he was for last week and he had to sit out so I assumed it would be carried over... |
| Snommelp12-29-04, 06:03 PM | Tactics have been forwarded to Scaryfroman. I eagerly await the results of this fight. |
| T'Var12-29-04, 06:12 PM | I was wondering why Aureus Wasn't paired because he wasn't updated but he was for last week and he had to sit out so I assumed it would be carried over... You have to update the title of your char to the next week if your unpaired, or it looks like that charector doesnt want to fight |
| Huan12-29-04, 06:12 PM | T'Var (T'Var) vs Taryn Thunderstorm (Jindl): Huan No offence Huan but due to the last time Huan ran a fight with T'Var I lost a 1500gp item on a interpratation of Mirror Image that you made the caster and his mount duplacate, I would like a clarification up front. that casting said spell creates mirrors of the caster only and Not his mount Very well, I will honor that. I like Ashenai's interpretation, so I will adopt that usage. |
| T'Var12-29-04, 06:14 PM | tactics also forwarded to scaryfroman looking forward to it |

Whatever you decide is good, I'll get going on the tactics tomorrow. |

I know it is a bit much to ask for at times, but could you possibly write a story for the fight, what with it being the last week of the year and possibly for this era of Gladius? Egads. I'll try. I'm afraid it's unlikely; I simply have a lot to do. But I'll try. Whatever you decide is good, I'll get going on the tactics tomorrow. Don't forget to send them by PM, not email. |

| Snommelp12-30-04, 03:51 AM | @ Scaryfroman: Would it be possible for you to write a story into the fight between Tara and Cremator? This fight's been building up since last week, when Cremator burned Tara's beer as a challenge and she responded by flooding his room (check the RP thread). If you can't write a story, that's alright, but it would certainly be nice. |

| Jindl12-31-04, 06:07 PM | Tactics for T'Var received, thank you. Awaiting tactics for Taryn. Tactics sent via PM. I wasn't prepared at all for this fight (Xmas Vacation screwed up my schedule), but Taryn will give it her best shot regardless. -Jindl |
| Huan12-31-04, 10:37 PM | Tactics for Taryn recieved, best of luck to both gladiators. I will run the fight later tonight. Happy New Year, everyone. |
| Ashenai01-01-05, 12:01 AM | Tactics received from both parties. Tactics for Ex Nihilo sent to T'Var. |

Having fun with new years and such seriously delayed me. |
| Ayatoshi01-01-05, 08:18 PM | Tactics for Arina and Aureus were sent tactics for astrohken recieved awaiting prince's tactics |
| Einzelgaenger01-01-05, 08:22 PM | Tactics for Idolyn vs Oz sent a few days ago... And I accidently sent it twice. Sorry! :( Recieved twice, no problem, I just did the same thing. On a darker note...no tactics from LLMadCow, so I'm using default. Will be up later tonight. |
| Poe The Great01-02-05, 01:00 AM | Didn't he just say he sent you tactics above, Eiz? |
| Snommelp01-02-05, 01:12 AM | Didn't he just say he sent you tactics above, Eiz? Sometimes tactics sent by e-mail simply don't arrive, or arrive late. For example, I recieved the tactics for one of my combatants from last week just two days ago. If it hadn't been for the help of someone else here, that gladiator would have done nothing but defend, since there were no default tactics either. That's one of the reasons most pitlords prefer to recieve tactics by PM. |
| Einzelgaenger01-02-05, 03:11 AM | Didn't he just say he sent you tactics above, Eiz? Well, I haven't gotten any tactics from him, and It's already Sunday, I can't wait any longer. I try to be flexible, but it's too late. EDIT: and the fight is posted, as always, i would love any comments or advice |

| Caterane01-02-05, 05:55 AM | Well, I haven't gotten any tactics from him, and It's already Sunday, I can't wait any longer. I try to be flexible, but it's too late. EDIT: and the fight is posted, as always, i would love any comments or advice Sleep fullround action, the caster level check is correct (though it's a wisdom check not a will save), and the rest is correct aswell. Only thing you forgot is to list used items at the bottom. Your second fight and I am - like last time - positively surprised by the professionality of your fight, even auditing the character sheets. The last time I saw a newbie doing something like that was when Ashenai joined ;) Great work, Einzelgaenger!! |
| Piuro01-02-05, 07:43 AM | I take full credit for his work. |
| Ashenai01-02-05, 09:21 AM | Tair Malek vs. Ixenthor is up. |
| T'Var01-02-05, 01:51 PM | Lorelei vs Malsvir is up |
| Sindorin01-02-05, 02:58 PM | Ashenai that story was hilarious, *fatty props* I kind of figured that having Cliche riding on my back would be a dead giveaway to where I was, but from the looks of it Cliche didn't have enough time to drink his potion so they would both be invisible. D'oh. |
| Snommelp01-02-05, 04:10 PM | I hope you recieved Rex's tactics. *Bites fingernails nervously* Don't worry, I have tactics for Rex and Arina. I've only experienced e-mail disfunction once. |
| Sindorin01-02-05, 05:15 PM | Tair bumps after his loss to Ixenthor, so they can have a fun little rematch next week if Caterane wants to :). |
| LLMadCow01-02-05, 05:28 PM | Well, I haven't gotten any tactics from him, and It's already Sunday, I can't wait any longer. I try to be flexible, but it's too late. EDIT: and the fight is posted, as always, i would love any comments or advice Do I have to send my tactics by PM only? I was unaware. I sent them by e-mail - TWICE. What's the deal? I would have appreciated some notice, via e-mail or PM, that you did not get my tactics. Especially since I took the time to post that I sent them. In regard to the fight. I cannot complain too much that you played my PC like a retard, but ... I sent tactics Edit: And please show some professional courtesy! The dog's name is Shamira, not Toto! I do not find it funny in the least bit. I do not care if you find it funny since my character's name is Oz. Oz - Jewish - Means 'Strength' in Hebrew. At least be creative and pick something appropriate to the naming convention. There are plenty of other female name in Hebrew. A few male names might have worked out as well. Velvel - Wolf. Sarah - Princess. How would you feel if, when I run your fight later tonight, I ignored your tactics, renamed your PC and was just rude? Show some respect. Respect is given, but you can lose respect. |
| Ashenai01-02-05, 05:46 PM | Ashenai that story was hilarious, *fatty props* Heh, glad you liked it. I kind of figured that having Cliche riding on my back would be a dead giveaway to where I was, but from the looks of it Cliche didn't have enough time to drink his potion so they would both be invisible. D'oh. Yeah, unfortunately. :( The first time I ran that fight, I had him drink his potion in Round 1, as per tactics... but then I realized that Tair couldn't cast any spells until Ix's cohort was dealt with. So basically, in rounds 1 and 2, Tair or Cliché could be invisible, but not both. |
| Snommelp01-02-05, 06:06 PM | @ LLMAdCow: Professional Courtesy? You do realize that this is the arena where we had, among other things, the fight to determine who was t3h l33t m4st4h? @ Einzelgaenger: After taking just a quick glance at the fight, I can easily see why LLMadCow is upset. According to the tactics, Oz should have cast Obscuring Mist and Divine Favor before casting Shield of Faith. Instead, Oz casts SoF and walks brazenly forward like he's fighting somebody in a coma. Looking at his actual character sheet, all of the default tactics start Obscuring Mist, Divine Favor, Shield of Faith. Unless I missed something big, there was no reason for you to assume that Oz would break from these tactics and cast only one spell before advancing on his enemy. |
| Huan01-02-05, 07:14 PM | Bare-bones version is up of Taryn vs T'Var (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5158214), took longer than expected, though (so many miss chance rolls). Short version: T'Var won, but Taryn did a fairly impressive job given Jindl's rushed tactics (shame you didn't cover how to fully combat invisibility). I am surprised Taryn did max damage with his lance while charging (an impressive 162 dmg ... I am sure T'Var thanks his lucky stars it wasn't aimed at him). And Tarn still had T'Var on his toes while managing to fight an endless wave of beasts. Both gladiators did a good job in my opinion. Please reply so I may post the corresponding story post-haste. |
| T'Var01-02-05, 08:33 PM | couple of things that didnt effect the outcome of the fight. Nobility does give Taryn and all of her allies the bonuses and T'Var does NOT have Arcane spell failure chance in light armor. Assassins cast as bards and bards do not suffer ASF in light armor and on round 14 although it was extreamly cool to confirm a nat 20 with a second nat 20 that does not make it max damage though the x3 then x3 again from charge, and crit was still easily enough to kill it even if you rolled three 1's for the damage |
| Einzelgaenger01-02-05, 08:37 PM | @ Einzelgaenger: After taking just a quick glance at the fight, I can easily see why LLMadCow is upset.

Unless I missed something big, there was no reason for you to assume that Oz would break from these tactics and cast only one spell before advancing on his enemy. I would have cast ob mist if i thought it would help, but it's a stationary thing, so I can't see how it could help someone trying to get into melee. And since the only weapons he has were a longsword or two, and all the spells except for mist augmented his weapon or saving throws, melee was the only possibility. As far as the DivFav, Poe's character was on the wall, out of melee range, and could cast from there for as long as he was up there, and he had a while, casting DivFav would have been a waste, as time would run out before Oz could do anything. @MadCow: I do not know how I did not recieve your tactics, but I didn't. I'm solving this problem once and for all by putting up a PM tactics request in my pitlording profile. As far as the dog...it's just a friggin dog! And additionally, I don't know hebrew. I could have just kept the name, but really, no affect on the game. If you want to change my character's name for the fight, go ahead, as long as we can tell who wins in the end, all is good. As far as ignoring tactics, I tried to follow what I had as best I could given that your foe was sitting on a bloody wall. |
| Huan01-02-05, 08:37 PM | Ok, I suppose I was confused about the Nobility Domain, thanks for setting me straight. Also, I thought confirming a nat 20 with another nat 20, and then confirming that (which is what happened) was max damage. If that is not the case, then what is? |
| Einzelgaenger01-02-05, 08:45 PM | Ok, I suppose I was confused about the Nobility Domain, thanks for setting me straight. Also, I thought confirming a nat 20 with another nat 20, and then confirming that (which is what happened) was max damage. If that is not the case, then what is? huh? you talking to me? i don't remember any nat 20s. there was the coup de gras, and that's just an auto-crit... |
| Huan01-02-05, 08:48 PM | huh? you talking to me? i don't remember any nat 20s. there was the coup de gras, and that's just an auto-crit... Heh heh, no, Einzelgaenger. I didn't mean to confuse you. :) The first part was directed to T'Var and Jindl, the second part was directed to anyone. |
| T'Var01-02-05, 08:52 PM | Ok, I suppose I was confused about the Nobility Domain, thanks for setting me straight. Also, I thought confirming a nat 20 with another nat 20, and then confirming that (which is what happened) was max damage. If that is not the case, then what is? Nat 20 means auto hit possable crit, the second roll is just to see if the crit is confirmed, if the second roll also hits, the cris is confirmed, even if its a second nat 20, all it does is confirm the crit not make it auto max dmg |
| Snommelp01-02-05, 09:57 PM | I finished round 4 of Rex vs. Arina, then realized that I had forgotten about Rex using his Luck domain power, so now I'm back at square 1. The rounds are going to be just different enough that I have to retype it all. It will be up soon enough, though. @Einzelgaenger: I just calls 'em like I sees 'em. I'm sure LLMadCow knows his character is a melee fighter; if he wants the character to cast obscuring mist, that's his prerogative. "Ours is not to question why...." |
| Einzelgaenger01-02-05, 10:12 PM | @Einzelgaenger: I just calls 'em like I sees 'em. I'm sure LLMadCow knows his character is a melee fighter; if he wants the character to cast obscuring mist, that's his prerogative. "Ours is not to question why...." Aye, you're right, I just thought I was doing a favor by not wasting a spell slot that could have been used for a CLW if he had not failed his save and gotten hit by something nasty. |
| T'Var01-02-05, 10:18 PM | Aye, you're right, I just thought I was doing a favor by not wasting a spell slot that could have been used for a CLW if he had not failed his save and gotten hit by something nasty. he selected spells for a reason, a reason that looks to have been ignored that is not a good thing |
| Einzelgaenger01-02-05, 10:30 PM | If I had had him back off and buff while shrouded in purple haze, I believe it would have just postponed what happened. With only melee weapons and spells, and the 10 round rule in place, there wasn't much else to do... even the tactics I have now recieved from him say to wait it out, which isn't really possible when Idolyn could still put up an offensive and waiting/hiding adds up. |
| LLMadCow01-02-05, 11:33 PM | If I had had him back off and buff while shrouded in purple haze, I believe it would have just postponed what happened.

How very convienent for you to apply that in such manner. If memory sevres correctly, Idolyn ran away first! That means he is the one initiating the 10 round rule, not me. I had ZERO way to fight him while he was on the wall, so running towards him WAS CERTAIN DEATH! That is not avoiding combat, that is waiting for more even grounds. So, if you really want to apply the rule, apply it to him, follow my tactics, and stop trying to pawn the blame off on your inability to follow tactics and run a fight properly. Cat may have given you props, and I agree with the great job on reviewing the character sheets, your ability to take given tactics and run a fight gets an F-. Failure. It is a simple thing to run a 2nd level fight. I do not run high level fights, so if you were running something higher, I could understand difficulty in understanding tactics. Oh yeah. About saving my spells for healing? I have a potion and some scrolls as part of a back up reserve. Are they nothing? Are they? @All - Is it fair to declare my tactics not sent because he wasn't around to receive my tactics on Friday or Saturday? I sent them, but he ignored them. Now he has acknowledged receiving the tactics, but declares them to be worthless and pointless. I will now post my tactics, which were sent out on Friday, well before the fight was run, and let you be the judge. These are the 'pointless' tactics I sent... DIRECT QUOTE FROM MY TACTICS Dear Einzelgaenger, For starters - Since this is Poe The Great's first fight, and thusly his first character, I see no problem with any updates he needs to make to his character. As per our discussions, I am specifically allowing the follow changes: 1 Quiver (10) of Crossbow Bolts and 4 Ranks in Move Silently. Oz will enter the arena with Shamira at his side, wearing his armor and shield, with a longsword in his right hand. Plan 1 Step 1 - Tell Shamira to run for attack, 160'. Follow Shamira for attack 80'. Step 2 - Shamira will charge for attack in second round, using trip ability if possible. Step 3 - Close for a charge, taking note of Shamira's position to allow for flanking, if possible. Step 4 - Divine Might attacks until dead. Plan 2 If opponent escapes initially and disappears for buffing, then back off and take time to buff: Obscuring Mist and Oil of Magic Weapon. Circle arena looking for opponent. Shamira can use tracking by scent ability if applicable. Be sure to move at a moderate pace, looking and listening for everything. If opponent is out of reach, but visible, move to great distance and wait for him to come down. If there are unbroken crossbow bolts from missed attack attempts, be sure to break them. Put obstacles between us whenever possible. Oz can outlast spells. Use healing scrolls first, the potion and finally spontaneous cast from unused spells. Cast Shield of Faith and Enlarge person if about to go into melee. Otherwise, try for full cover behind columns. Heal Shamira as needed. This could be a quick fight if Shamira gets in and trips or a long fight if he gets away and it becomes a waiting game. Surprise me with the use of Strength Domain ability. Guidance, resistance and Divine Favor can be cast whenever. E-mail me if you have any questions. |
| Snommelp01-02-05, 11:55 PM | @All - Is it fair to declare my tactics not sent because he wasn't around to receive my tactics on Friday or Saturday? I sent them, but he ignored them. Now he has acknowledged receiving the tactics, but declares them to be worthless and pointless. Unfortunately, just because you sent them at that time doesn't mean he got them then. Just ask Paranoia; I got his tactics for last week's fight right before this week's pairings. |
| KerlanRayne01-03-05, 12:21 AM | Tair Malek vs. Ixenthor is up.I have stated twice that Ixenthor can't can't use a permanent Greater Magic Weapon on "Rainbow" which might change the fight a little. That's -5 to Hit and Damage. Also, MadCow, calm down. I understand you are upset, but you make it sound like he had it in for you. I'm sure that he did what he thought was best. He has just started here and is still learning. If you opponent is out of reach, and you can't reach him, what can you do? I'm not sure how the 10 round rule works exactly but it might be applied to your opponent. I just ask that you please calm down and be xcareful what you accuse him of. KerlanRayne |
| T'Var01-03-05, 12:37 AM | I have stated twice that Ixenthor can't can't use a permanent Greater Magic Weapon on "Rainbow" which might change the fight a little. That's -5 to Hit and Damage. KerlanRayne Rainbow. looking over the permanency spell I agree Rainbow canNOT have GMW placed on it, so that would have led to 1 arrow missing compleatly and -10 dmg from the other two. that would have extreamly changed the outcome of the fight. |
| Snommelp01-03-05, 12:44 AM | Rex vs. Arina (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5159873) is up. This is the longest and closest fight I have ever run. Any problems seen? |
| LLMadCow01-03-05, 12:53 AM | @All - If anyone feels like running a low level fight, please let me know. At this point in time I do not think I am suited to run Einzelgaenger's fight and even if I did, I don't want anyone looking at me funny if he lost. So, I would be more than happy to forward tactics from both characters involved. Please just e-mail me. I will be awake for a few more hours and checking periodically.... |
| Snommelp01-03-05, 12:59 AM | @LLMadCow: It seems T'Var always offers to take any fights that don't get run in time. I would also be willing to take the fight. You might have a preference between the two of us; if you do that's fine. Of course, I probably shouldn't be volunteering T'Var without his permission... |
| LLMadCow01-03-05, 01:03 AM | @Snommelp - Say the word and it's yours. |
| Snommelp01-03-05, 01:06 AM | Yeah, I'll take it. I'd prefer those tactics by PM, but e-mail should work too. It'll be up tomorrow. |
| Piuro01-03-05, 01:08 AM | T'Var, why did you ignore malsvirs tactics to back up and heal when low on HP? I request the fight be picked up from the point i cast shield of faith, and instead use my potion of CLW. |
| LLMadCow01-03-05, 01:11 AM | Tactics forwarded, have they been received? Let me know and either one of us can inform the PitLords. |
| T'Var01-03-05, 01:13 AM | T'Var, why did you ignore malsvirs tactics to back up and heal when low on HP? I request the fight be picked up from the point i cast shield of faith, and instead use my potion of CLW. Little people eh? They scare me, im afraid of choking on them. Either way, advance like a madman, and use the tattooes. Attack as soon as I can, and once I can see him, blast him with spells. Lesser confusion or somthing along those lines. Muahahaha. Oh well, this should be fun. Good luck! because you did not mention anything about healing in your tactics |
| Snommelp01-03-05, 01:15 AM | Tactics forwarded, have they been received? Let me know and either one of us can inform the PitLords. They have indeed been recieved. I think the PitLords will see this exchange here, but I'll PM them as well. |
| LLMadCow01-03-05, 01:18 AM | They have indeed been recieved. I think the PitLords will see this exchange here, but I'll PM them as well. Thanks for the pick up. I just didn't want there to be any reason for any possible misunderstanding or any more grief. I owe you one... |
| Snommelp01-03-05, 01:21 AM | Thanks for the pick up. I just didn't want there to be any reason for any possible misunderstanding or any more grief. I owe you one... You owe me nothing. I'm taking your credit from this fight, which puts me one credit closer to my Troll gladiator. This is being done for purely selfish motivations. |
| Pittbull01-03-05, 02:19 AM | A happy new year to all of you! No worries, all my fights will be posted today! :) |
| Ashenai01-03-05, 03:54 AM | Rainbow. looking over the permanency spell I agree Rainbow canNOT have GMW placed on it, Yeah, you're right. so that would have led to 1 arrow missing compleatly and -10 dmg from the other two. that would have extreamly changed the outcome of the fight. That's a negative, though. Since Rainbow is still Masterwork, the lack of a GMW on it would have meant only 4 less to attack, which means all the arrows would have still hit. The damage would have been 15 less, but that would still have taken Tair down to -3. I can fix it, sure, but it will not make any difference. |
| Einzelgaenger01-03-05, 04:57 AM | @All - Is it fair to declare my tactics not sent because he wasn't around to receive my tactics on Friday or Saturday? I sent them, but he ignored them. concerning 10 round rule: if you had gotten out of the way instead of walking forward, idolyn would be attempting to pincushion you, while you'd be attempting to not be hit, as per your tactics. I did not recieve any tactics until you resent them on Sunday. No email came for me during the period that I was gone. If anything had came during that time, I would have used it. As it is, the default tactics I should have used admittedly would have made the fight last maybe 3 extra rounds, given the rolls I rolled. Concerning the ObMist: Again, should have cast it no matter what, but you were not seeable at the time that you cast SoF. Since everyone seems so charged up about it, I'm editing the fight. It should be edited by sometime tomorrow. Any actions actions duplicated use the same rolls, for fairness's sake, eg the scroll failure and the will failure. I'll rerun tactics, but I'm not giving replays. and it's edited, I now sleep... |
| Ashenai01-03-05, 05:41 AM | @Einzelgaenger: Thanks for rerunning. There were definitely problems with the fight, and it's good that you're willing to fix them. Don't worry, mistakes happen; all of us have screwed up fights at one time or another. Your policy of reusing rolls is also a good thing. In the future, please post sooner if you don't get tactics, so people will have a chance to re-send them. :) LLMadCow: Please don't overreact. There were mistakes with the fight, and Einzelgaenger has offered to correct them. This happens all the time, and it's just part of the human fallibility of the Arena. The fight will be fixed; no harm no foul. The fight will be re-run by Einzelgaenger. As for T'Var's fight: Thanks for offering to run it Snommelp (selfish reasons or not. ;)) You got it. Credit changes: Snommelp +1, LLMadCow -1. |
| Pittbull01-03-05, 07:03 AM | Aureus vs. Zepher (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5160707&postcount=1141) is posted! |
| Caterane01-03-05, 07:13 AM | I have stated twice that Ixenthor can't can't use a permanent Greater Magic Weapon on "Rainbow" which might change the fight a little. That's -5 to Hit and Damage. Ok, I removed the GMW from the bow. Looking over the fight, it won't change the outcome though since I only get -4 to hit which makes all hits still hits. It just puts Tair to -3 and my griffon hasn't pounced yet. |
| T'Var01-03-05, 07:17 AM | Ok, I removed the GMW from the bow. Looking over the fight, it won't change the outcome though since I only get -4 to hit which makes all hits still hits. It just puts Tair to -3 and my griffon hasn't pounced yet. nod, forgot about the masterwork +to hit |
| Ayatoshi01-03-05, 07:56 AM | I thought there was a rule that if you had to jump during a charge it ended there? |
| Pittbull01-03-05, 10:53 AM | I thought there was a rule that if you had to jump during a charge it ended there? Are you sure? A jump is no action during a movement. I added the jump only for flavor, it wasn't necessary for the charge. Zepher would have reached Aureus without the jump too. But checking the coodinates I recognized a failure in the post I will correct this, sorry. |
| T'Var01-03-05, 11:01 AM | Cremator (T'Var) chllg Tara Brightblade (Snommelp): Scaryfroman Scaryfroman....are you going to run this fight or not? sorry im just a bit upset that it went until the deadline before the last pitlord for it backed out and now it looks like it will be delayed for a 2nd week....if it is delayed again I want myself and Tara to gain a level. as it will be 3 weeks in the making both Cremator and Tara would have won several times, or been bumped in that time of DELAYS.... maybe its petty of me but Id like both of my charectors to fight when i have them listed...otherwise i wouldnt ask for max fights to run to keep earning the credits to keep multi chars on the books |
| Pittbull01-03-05, 11:32 AM | Luken vs. Ragnarr (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5161367&postcount=1142) is posted! @Scaryfroman: Steadily delaying fights is not very nice! |
| Einzelgaenger01-03-05, 12:39 PM | The fight will be re-run by Einzelgaenger. Will be? I actually completed the rerunning before posting that I was going to rerun it, so has been re-ran would be the correct tense :) |
| Pittbull01-03-05, 02:22 PM | Cremator (T'Var) chllg Tara Brightblade (Snommelp): Scaryfroman Scaryfroman....are you going to run this fight or not? If he doesn't show up, I will run it during the day (european time) tomorrow. Of course only, if everbody agrees. So: T'VAr? Snommelp? Scaryfroman? GMs? :) |
| T'Var01-03-05, 02:33 PM | If he doesn't show up, I will run it during the day (european time) tomorrow. Of course only, if everbody agrees. So: T'VAr? Snommelp? Scaryfroman? GMs? :) Im totally fine with that. |
| Piuro01-03-05, 05:13 PM | Last time I checked, Malsvir was insane, but not stupid. |
| T'Var01-03-05, 05:27 PM | Last time I checked, Malsvir was insane, but not stupid. your point? a cure would have been pointless since they were hitting you every round for over 10dmg but usually only hitting you by 2-4 points above your ac so shield of faith gave the better chance of survival Im getting real sick of this crap. You dont like what happened to your charector WRITE BETTER TACTICS guess what, you have a crappy build! thats why you lose...A LOT! that mixed with crap tactics well lets add this up, Crap+Crap=MegaCrap You gave me three lines of meaningless jibber except to use tattoos and attack with spells so I did Ive only complained have been when i felt a tactic I WROTE wasnt used properly. Dont try to pull some bs about being insane not stupid You want it done YOU write it down in TACTICS thats what they are for. Nuff said. |
| Snommelp01-03-05, 05:39 PM | If he doesn't show up, I will run it during the day (european time) tomorrow. Of course only, if everbody agrees. So: T'VAr? Snommelp? Scaryfroman? GMs? :) If Scaryfroman backs out, it's yours. This needs to get settled; either Tara's beer will be avenged or she'll become even more resentful in her journey to becoming an assassin. Either way, though, this fight needs to be settled, and I had hoped that would happen before Living Gladius. |
| Pittbull01-03-05, 05:48 PM | I will go to bed soon. If there are the tactics in my inbox tomorrow morning, I'll run the fight. Please check it out, if this is OK. Good night! |
| T'Var01-03-05, 05:51 PM | I will go to bed soon. If there are the tactics in my inbox tomorrow morning, I'll run the fight. Please check it out, if this is OK. Good night! Mine will be there Nite Pittbull thanks |
| scaryfroman01-03-05, 06:28 PM | I finished the Creamy-Tara fight on saturday. I've just been writing a nice story to accentuate your conflict. I can post the fight now, if you wish, but it is the bare essentials. |
| T'Var01-03-05, 06:36 PM | I finished the Creamy-Tara fight on saturday. I've just been writing a nice story to accentuate your conflict. I can post the fight now, if you wish, but it is the bare essentials. that would be nice yes. so the winner can have some time to level without feeling rushed. |
| Snommelp01-03-05, 06:56 PM | I finished the Creamy-Tara fight on saturday. I've just been writing a nice story to accentuate your conflict. I can post the fight now, if you wish, but it is the bare essentials. It would be nice to know the winner, yes. However, I'm a sucker for a good story. |
| scaryfroman01-03-05, 08:19 PM | Done. Hope you like it ;) I noticed a couple of things. Neither affected the game, or anything really. Just so you know, though. |
| T'Var01-03-05, 08:29 PM | Nevermind lol i misread my own stat block Good fight thanks for running it |
| Snommelp01-03-05, 10:43 PM | It was indeed a good fight, and well told. I'm guessing Cremator will want vengeance when LG comes around, eh T'Var? Tara will be ready for him. |
| Piuro01-03-05, 10:46 PM | Jeeze, what was that? I was merely pointing out that when badly wounded it would make sense for malsvir to heal himself. No need to go balistic. Look, I looked again and understand that malsvir would not have won even if it was used, but im really getting sick of your attitude of slinging insults when anyone critisizes you. Im sorry for pointing out a tactical flaw, even though it would have had no affect on the fight (Ill be sure to make sure of that in the future). I personally just like seeing fights done right, considering i write a backstory for malsvir using all of these. For gods sake, cool down. |
| Battousai200501-03-05, 11:04 PM | OK, Piuro, T'var, both of you calm down. We've had issues like this before. No need to turn it into personal battles. T'var, not all of us have the time to write up the greatest tactics ever. We have lives, you know. Hell, Piuro might have a job, a girlfriend/wife, and/or school to deal with. A Pitlord needs to understand patience. Heck, you should see some of the tactics I've gotten. MysticMonk once sent some in that were rather...horrible when it came to grammar, spelling, and, well, clarity... There is no reason to get mad at anyone, unless you want to get mad at me for my computer dying. Ask Mystic if you don't believe me, but I had to actually call someone and get them to try to post something saying I couldn't do it. Insults really don't get much done on the boards. Piuro, bear with it. Everyone gets stressed sometimes. Also, its part my fault since I didn't get his fight done. Not my fault since my computer died on me, but my fault for not getting the fact up before Sunday afternoon. I understand you're tactics broke apart, but bear in mind that it happens. If I had a quarter for every time I saw tactics get blown apart by someone else's, I'd be able to actually pay for a date now and then. Now, we need to make sure we don't break into petty arguments and insult trading. Trust me, its the death of ANYTHING on this board. We've had people leave because of it. I really don't want to see that as a lot of good people have gone due to arguments. I'm not a GM or elder, I realize that. But I do like this forum we have going and I have some level of respect and admeration for everyone here. So, try not to fight, ya? EDIT: Oh, btw, I really have trouble tolerating insults to builds and personal insults. That's for both of you. You want to argue, fine. Take it up in E-mail, IM or PM. Public insults do nothing but humiliate and make both sides look immature and foolish. |
| Piuro01-03-05, 11:50 PM | Thanks battousai. |
| Snommelp01-04-05, 12:38 AM | Derthark vs. Alexis (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5165524) is up. I was watching Monty Python's Flying Circus while I wrote the fight; I hope nobody minds the humor that found its way in. |
| Einzelgaenger01-04-05, 01:13 AM | Derthark vs. Alexis (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5165524) is up. I was watching Monty Python's Flying Circus while I wrote the fight; I hope nobody minds the humor that found its way in. hey, as long as the humor doesn't affect the fight, dump it on. yarr. oh, if she fired at point blank, or even 10 feet away, I get AoO. But it seems I won anyway, so no matter. |
| Piuro01-04-05, 01:18 AM | Haha, that was great. |
| Ashenai01-04-05, 01:52 AM | Well said, Battousai. My thoughts exactly. Let's keep things friendly, eh? We're all here to have fun. :) |
| T'Var01-04-05, 11:14 AM | Battousai, my statements to Piuro had nothing to do with you, or your comp crash, it has everything to do with Piuro insinuating that since i didnt give him a CLW that i was playing his character "Stupid" Im blunt, to the point, and dont apologies for that. As for criticism I love it, criticize me till the cows come home, but you defacto call me stupid for your failure to write tactics is the same as Sindoren when he called me a cheat. I dont back down from something like that..and you attack me in public and i will bring it back to you in the same format Now me and Sindoren talked it over in PM and everything was straightened out and we are cool now. maybe the same will happen with you Piuro, maybe not. However I am taking a few weeks off for personal matters so anyone else got something to say speak up. |
| Einzelgaenger01-05-05, 12:19 AM | Since noone seems to look at the Character Violations board anymore, I'll copy it to here. Nanaleigh's character, Alexis Theladrais has a feat she can't have, Greater Weapon Focus, which you need to be a level 8 fighter for. |
| Snommelp01-05-05, 12:41 AM | @ Einzelgaenger: I saw it when you posted it, but didn't think much about it because it didn't concern me. I wasn't the one running your fight then. All I can say is that it's definitely a good thing you won, or else I would have to run the fight all over! |
| Einzelgaenger01-05-05, 01:00 AM | @ Einzelgaenger: I saw it when you posted it, but didn't think much about it because it didn't concern me. I wasn't the one running your fight then. All I can say is that it's definitely a good thing you won, or else I would have to run the fight all over! No, you wouldn't have, all of the hits didn't hit by 1, so it's a null, but Alexis should probably on red violation by now, as she's had it since level 3. |
| Huan01-05-05, 04:44 AM | Revised Taryn vs T'Var (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5158214) is up. My apologies for delivering it at this time, but I was not aware these posts had a 50,000 word limit (I was 7,000 words over). Otherwise, please enjoy the story. |
