Welcome to Gaia! ::

*le sigh* People, when I tell one of you to spread the word my laptop is ********, that means everybody, not just whoever you see next. I know for damn sure I've told at least one of ya'll. I figure I got about another 15 minutes of use out of this jury-rigged desktop PC before it gets mad at me again due to lack of proper ******** Laptop External ******** PC+Summer+Desert=Fail

cool

Depends on which judge you ask.

You'll get different answers accordingly.

You can also look at it this way.

This guy's character can't take yours in a straight up fight, because his is a mandolin playing bard.. and yours is like some sort of super-Olympiad extremist packed into a seventeen year old body. So it's not that you're chasing him-- it's that he's leading you. He can't stand toe to toe, so he's forcing you to chase him while he leads you into a trap.

His character is actually wearing some light-weight armor, which could easily be stated as being enough to divert something like a throwing knife. But he takes the hit, a purposeful sacrifice so as to not interrupt his playing. Where as your character.. basically just breaks the stone attacks, and what damage he does take is minimal. Stone, last I checked, is pretty ******** hard. Magic'd up or no, a pointed piece of stone should have done something to your character other than shattering on his armor or rock hard abs.

To be honest, I don't really think the fighting was entertaining from either angle. But I do think he had some sort of game plan for his powers.

Could you have won the fight? Yeah, probably. But the entire fight up until the last post was a war of attrition - who could last longer. And fact of the matter is, if he could keep his distance, he was going to win that war because he had the abilities available to him to do so. If Tres had forced him into a prolonged melee fight, I think it would of been judged in your favor.

EDIT:: And for the record, I'm not saying you were worse than he was. To be honest, I don't think the fight was the best display shown for either of you. Then again, the environment was also sort of wonky too.

I agree with this statement. The arena was some what weird and even worst Tres as a character is just a power house of melee form to which my character would stand little chance of surviving someone who can break solid stone.

I am not the biggest fan of just evasion but I lost my first match from being ignorant about how my characters powers should work. So I adjusted that and fought a similar character type. But thats the way that fight goes no matter how you look at it. It's a battle of range for caster vs warrior.

I wasn't trying to be cheap in my tactics but rather I really saw no other choice but to be as evasive as possible (thus the two elements I chose when I got the energy.) To say I got hit in the jaw by your character and simply shook it off would seem insulting to me.

On the bright side, most users in the wood fight had an advantage over the use of earth/wood elements.

I have ice and water.

The last match was hard fought to the end, especially with pudding bullets and explosive needles. Plus hard defense.

o3o;

Also, voting for these matches ought to be quick, since Dyne cut out with Murdoch ( sad ). That really only leaves one match to be judged, and it probably won't take too long. If one of them gets a definite win, it'll take even less time xd
