Gorath your never going ot be in the positive awesomebar zone, just stop trying to be a valuable member of the community, just stop :D

lol

I don't want it to be.  My goal since the onset of these forums (after they removed post count :( ) has been to have the most negative (-) points here.  :)
Besides, I've always mixed my trolling with guenuine posts about the mod.  Keeps things fresh that way imo.  ;)

Have to say I had fun in my first arena duel, though getting used to the staff is funky.  Didn't even realize what Braeden was talking about when he called me to the duel server until I realized that Kalam ninja-signed me up for this, lol.  Gotta say though I think arena-style dueling is probably the most fun dueling I've had in the game.  Love the sound of pratice weapons blocking each other.

*Also after doing the math and thinking about the balance between the practice weapons, I wish that this inter weapon class balance existed all the way through the list.  Obviously some weapons severely break this balance idea like long maul, great maul, bardiches etc.  But the internal balance between the practice 1her, 2her and staff are done superbly imo.  *

Kalam you have to seperate the infrantry from cav to archers, like amelies did, I do not want to get gayed by some horsemen or thrower in this tournament. I was hoping this would be a good judge of skill, unmlike the champion one where you could use the cheapest tactics-

for example miley with a barmace plus full plate armor

The only horse is a sumpter, the only bow is a hunting bow. I doubt you'd have any trouble with either of those. o.O

Hunting Bow on a high PD build will 1-shot most players wearing arena gear. Your tournament is real crap, EU was so much better. Everything you organized isn't about skill, but the capability to be as cheap as possible. Complete failure.

PM can't find "Whalen" or "Lt_Anders" to PM the results of the duels between Braeden and I.  I PM'd you however, if you can post the forum names of the other two officiants I'll PM them as well.

Can find me now?

Yup, thanks for posting.  For some reason when I tried to send a msg direct to "Lt_Anders" it told me no, so I dunno what's with that.  /shrug

Only archers and cav could be considered cheap, as for all of the infantry fighting each other it's amazingly balanced.  Of course you sound butthurt because you were removed due to your ban, but meh.
And I should be nice or polite to anyone.... why exactly?

I was never banned, carry on living in a realm of delusion. And you're only supporting my point, since inf/cav/archers are all in the same category.

Sadly, I haven't noticed Kenkyaku on or I'd have done my duel with him by now.

Aha, my duel vs hannibal was the exact hard counter to my build.
Me: All strength joke 1h ROCK MELEE
him: All agility staff spam.
needless to say I never actually managed to hit him due to range :P
Chambers did not even matter.
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower

As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

Well now you've seen that wisdom is telling you to carry a 1h wooden practice sword just in case (so you can block).

Yeah I bought one, but it's all good.
"fun > everything else" is my general motto in video games. Sure I could be WAY more effective in battle -- or I could have way more fun in battle.
Besides, handicapping yourself is a fundamental way of getting better in skill based games.
