Default The Grand Anti-SC competition! - Results!

Well, someone suggested this. The results were repeating, until a certain pretender joined the stage, winner was uncertain, after that all fights were taken by him.

What is really funny is that abysia had some hilarius 2-fight performance, looking like sure winner in the first fight but not following his script on the second.

Notes: I hope I got everything right, if you think I messed something up I still have the save from turn before, so I can fix it and see if results still correlate.

The battle order is not random at ALL, it's just direct order of nation numbers.

I forgot to do the exp thingie, but there were only 2 heroics in the fights, both with precision and neither used spells that uses precision.

Oh, am I going to announce the winner?

No, you'll have to dl the file and see fot yourself. The winner combatant is named after a forum name.

Whoa. Its direct order of nation numbers? Is that how it is with normal battles? People have always said it was random but I dont know of anyone having actually tested it.

Can't wait to d/l this when I get home!

Ah well I should have used a better chassis. Maybe a nat instead. Probably wouldn't have helped in the end. At least I took down one other sc Congrats to the winner.

Thanks for putting this together tuna!

Notes for next time: No directed randoms. Actually, I will clearmagic everyone and then add back the basic paths. That means, no random paths AT ALL.

And stock with some MR, ffs

No spell research, I will just tell everyone to name the spells they want to use, and add them in in the file. Lot less hassle. Perhaps some limit on high-level spells to make it more combat-oriented.

Oh, and figured out that phoenix pyre was utterly suicidal

BAH, I'm at work so I can't check to see how my horse fared. I turned him in feeling he didn't have much of a shot, but after I looked at the actual rules (Full Gembox? Random + Additional Paths?) I knew he wouldn't last long.

I hope he at least killed one other SC. Poor little fancy lad.

Wonder why I made those remarks.

The problem with spell research is that so much can go wrong in those 18 turns, I had to revert twice. The research part was by far the most work. Perhaps I should add a couple of low-level spells to everyone in addition to their requested ones?


Any new rule suggestions, and I'm all ears.

:cries:

And I was doing so well...

I think Hellbinds and Mind Enslaves are UNFAIR! I mean, that's not what did me in, but it probably would have A contest without them would be much more fun, since they change it from a "Supercombattant" contest into a "Supermage" contest that depends only on who goes first.

Also, I like the way my tail was chopped off, and then regrew for the next battle!

Edit:

Thanks for hosting this, Tuna!

Edit 2:

Hope that didn't sound like I was whining... I was whining, of course, I just don't want it to sound like I was
