Because you want DrSpike to lose and don't think I can beat him or because we are both armour 20 and you think it will be a long and boring final?

Or perhaps you are thinking back to a GO game where DrSpike, Spaced, and....oh never mind, that was long ago, who really remembers that anyway

Does this mean you only processed the first round and because paramir was at 0 at the end of it the 2nd and 3rd round didn't get processed ? it was my understanding that all three rounds were processed regardless?

Even though it works to my advantage in this instance, I think the fight would have been over sooner had I known this (put more in Round 1 and less in the others when near the end of the fight).

Clarification anyone?

Y'know, I don't think it's ever been set in the rules. But the way it's always been played, if a player is knocked out/killed the remaining rounds are not processed.

btw, I was worried about 2 20 DEF players dragging out the game, and IIRC Spaced didn't last in that GO game.

Well, should I win, and we listen to that great sage DrSpike and set the HP totals for the match not on the stage of the tournament (100/120/150) but on the effective damage bonus both players get (in this case -20) then we will be fine.

I think I have argued this every single tournament, with varying degrees of success. If I do get to the final I hope its 100 not 150, as it could take forever. With Ljube in the final (0 bonus) either 120 or 150 is acceptable.

Orders shortly.

Yes, I was surprised when I saw the 120/150 set in the rules at the beginning.

It's always been done before that if someone dies, the resulting orders are not processed. It was certainly a rule when I was playing and GMing, though I don't know if it's been altered since.

That's why a common tactic at the end was to put 50 in defense on the first hit and then knock them out with the second, as a usual reaction was to go all out fo the KO on the first hit.

Yes, we've always played that when you are dead no more orders get processed. It makes the end of fights more interesting.

As soon as one opponent goes down, the remaining turns are not processed, there used to be a story involved as well. But I am being real lazy on this one, but there will be a story for the finals. Anyway, hard to have a downed player continue to make hits.

Having qualified for the finals I am now in the difficult position of deciding what to do next.

As I stated previously I didn't anticipate this game taking this long to finish (or for me to still be alive ) as it started June 1.

I am going to be away August 11-14 with no computer access and away from the 15th until the end of august with limited/intermittent access. Therefore I don't want to hold up the game by being away and am tempted to resign but I feel I am being penalized by slow play where I was usually the first or second to send in orders most turns. Do I stay in for the finals even though I may slow down an already slow game or would it be better that I resign?

Though any opinions are welcome, those of Spaced, DrSpike/Ljube and paramir are obviously those I will listen to most closely .

Thanks,
* Sparrowhawk Gladiator VIII Finalist

Sparrow, don't sweat it, you'll not be gone that long and should be way more responsive than Ljube has been, busy, busy boy is he.

Yeah you should drop out so the winner of Ljube and I is the champion!

Hehe, more seriously, I never want to win anything except on merit. If you go (especially as one of the fastest players as you say) I'm content to wait, should I win through. If you have some access for most of the period hopefully you can get orders in here and there. Even in a worse case scenario it's not that long to wait.

I'll let Ljube speak for himself.
