SC Arena Competition Over! Results on page 9

[sum1lost]

In my version, the erinya never actually won a battle. Which was a shame, since it was my build...

I designed it against other fighter builds- darkness helps take out most non-undead and demons, and flambeau helps it against the demons and undead

My bad. I was not looking at the most current game (the first incarnation of the game was missing QM's entrant, so I had to re-run it.)

Yes, I'm seeing the bad results now as well, exactly as NTJedi described them! Round 3, Golem vs Rudra the Golem definately appears to win, but is erroneously counted as slain. That's good news, actually, because it means that if I re-run the contest it ought to work right rather than appearing right only on my machine.

Is anyone opposed to another, final arena tournament? Or has interest in this contest been exhausted?

Not at all, I'd actually like to see another run of it. Not that my SC will do much better . But I think it would be cool to see some other match-ups.

Why not send us the turn before set up, so we can run the battles on our own machines as many times as we would like?

I'm ready for a new tournament... preferably the 5 magic path limit, but either way is good!

I would like to see a rerun of this one, then a new one with diffrent combatants.

Ok, I still have energy to run another round. I do like the 5 path rule, however, and I'd like to let the people who wanted to play in the first contest but didn't have time to send a combatant in (like Jazzepi) participate, so I favor having a semi-new batch of combatants.

All combatants would have a maximum of 5 path levels to work with. You may choose chassis with more than 5 magic levels (ie Djinn), but I would be mod it down to a total of 5 for the combat (including empowerment; you would need to specify which levels it keeps.) All of the other rules from contest 1 would be unchanged.

People could choose to update/replace their combatants by sending me private messages with their builds, or leave them unchanged. Combatants that are left unchanged may lose magic paths in excess of 5, however.

I won't have time for the contest until the weekend, however. So it'd be run Saturday or Sunday night, probably.

Edit: To clarify, you have 5 maximum paths. You still only get 3 empowerments.

Suggestion: Pretender battle-off. You can use pretender points, with an AWAKE pretender and NEUTREL scales. Any mobile pretender can be used.

-Balances out spell casters with combat pretenders. Hurray for titans and such! They might get a chance.

Sounds good!
Most participants will need to change/update the magic paths on their SC.

I would also add that none of the SCs should be actual Pretenders. A Pretender chassis is fine but not the actual role with it's extra HPs and immunity to enslavement.
