You know, it's a strange thing - I laughed at the whole misspelling Theben thing when I arrived in the Other Games forum, but somehow it's infected me and now as I write these accounts I find myself constantly needing to correct my spelling. Indeed, it happened when I wrote Theben just a sentance ago. It's somewhat bizarre, and rather disturbing too...

Well, on the one day I check back fairly regularly, it's the one day when the orders are slowest to arrive. *sigh*. I guess that's poetic justice, or something.

When you're ready, Chaunk... Which I guess won't be before tomorrow morning.

Edit: Sorry, that post comes across a little more disgusted than I intended - I can't (and don't) blame anyone else for being slow when I am too, especially Chaunk who has been so speedy in general .

What's the spread? Maybe I can "influence" it a little.

JB: Don't sweat it. Chaunk was here earlier and didn't post.

I think he's sweating a little more than you.

It's posted on L'Event. I think it was 2/3 odds on you, 3/2 odds on Chaunk. This from when you were marginally ahead.

Final, round 8 Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

[contribution author=Theben]"Well, little upstart, are you enjoying being humiliated in front of the throng? You should allow me to end your misery by laying down your weapons and submitting to death. It is your destiny, regardless.

"How you defeated Jamski-San I do not know, and how you possibly won against me in the qualifiers is unfathomable. Gods! A warrior? A master of many weapons you may be, but a master of men you are not. You see, I can read you, and know when and where you will strike. Thus you cannot hope to defeat me. Given time, perhaps one day you would rival me in skill, but," Theben chuckles softly, "you haven't much time left in this world."[/contribution]

Chaunk returns Theben's smile, saying "Well, I killed Jamski-San a little like this...". Chaunk's axe swings swiftly towards Theben, and bounces of his shield in a shower of splinters, throwing Theben backwards a step.

Chaunk steps back, and as his axe rotates into the space he made available, he thrusts the spike mounted on its base deep into Theben's gut. At the same time, Theben's sword swings downward, the swing which was aimed for Chaunk's head thrown off course by pain, and instead embeds itself in Chaunk's shoulder.

Both gladiators extricate themselves from the weapons and satisfy themselves with glaring at one another for a while.

Theben takes 41 damage and drops to 50HP. Chaunk takes 22 damage and falls to 22HP.
Send for round 9.


Well, what might look at first to be a success for Chaunk is not quite so good, since Chaunk lost half his HP, but Theben lost less than half of his...

Final, round 9 Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Clutching at his belly, Theben grunts "A good shot, but it won't save you..."

Chaunk raises his axe for another blow "No, but perhaps this will." He swings down violently, but Theben's apparent preoccupation was a ruse, and he leaps backwards nimbly out of the path of the blow, causing Chaunk's axe to enter the sand with a crunch, and leaving Chaunk unable to prevent Theben smashing the flat of his blade into Chaunk's knuckles.

Chaunk rips his axe free and both gladiators circle for a moment.

Then, suddenly, Theben surges to the attack, feinting low and striking high, but Chaunk catches the blow on the blade of his axe, sending it skittering off course.

Theben takes no damage and remains on 50HP. Chaunk takes 1 damage and falls to 21HP.
Send for round 10.


Well, I hope we can avoid a further 21 rounds of a similar nature. I'll be away for at least 25 hours now, and probably longer, so no more Gladiator results before then, but I should be getting my exam results...

Final, round 10 Increase the size of your Attachments

Theben strikes low and hard, but Chaunk absorbs the power of the blow on his axe, allowing the momentum so gained to rotate it down and scrape skin from Theben's shoulder, and then return it to a defensive position.

The defence suffices to stop Theben's second blow, and the frustration is building clearly on Theben's face - he can feel victory so close, but cannot reach it, and is too tired to try a third attack.

Theben takes 6 damage and drops to 44HP. Chaunk takes no damage and sticks at 21HP.
Send for round 11.


Chaunk actually makes real progress this round, but Theben maintains a better than 2 to 1 advantage.

Sorry about the confusion - it's been a long day, and I wasn't thinking straight...
