Yeah, WAS being the key word there. Right now he's about as useful to your battle plans as Erwin Rommel. |

i seem to have some slight issues understanding iwhat Martjin is trying to get me into, oh and btw Josh, sorry about whati said, it seems that what i tried to say was misunderstood and if it ended up being interpreted as me being rude or jerky, well that wasn't the intention |

I think GROSS is a bad robot, which I kinda break down in my RP against it. HOWEVER the interesting thing about GROSS is that its statted such that... well nothing can really stand up to it. I think I did say at some point that SHW is really weak, and really there are very few matches up that GROSS should lose, or even could lose. It should lose to Mandetta, and then it could lose to like three other robots. That said, there's still definitely a lot of difference in terms of how people think spinners function, or at least how damaging they are. That's fine for the most part, but you get wild swings like you mention - Snijmachine puts the beatdown on Klarinette and Rocket Knight, but fails to do much damage to Cutie Honey? That kind of thing. There's never really been an easy fix for this, short of the staff going down the list of robots together and saying what they think, or doing that sort of things for matchups (not necessarily deciding the match, but giving their thoughts on how it'd shake out). Come to think of it, that'd be a pretty fun idea for the season, with the staff getting into the skype and either just saying who they think the winner would be, or expounding their thoughts on it - and then that chatlog could be posted somewhere for non-staff to see. I'm talking about some low effort stuff though, just like "I think GROSS will lose because I hate him and he looks unstable or hard to turn or if he crashes into a wall he'll kill himself". |

are you telling me each time Mystic calls me Martjin it's because he's drunk? |

I'll be completely honest, when I wrote that I kind of forgot about the new damage scale. My bad. |

Quite frankly I would have been content with that knowledge going into the season. I mean it's pretty obvious that the design itself is at least somewhat satirical (the name pretty much gives that away ), but then the bot showed good promise and really went on a tear. Then all of a sudden he can't buy a win, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to such a dramatic shift in fortunes. The opponents he's fighting don't seem to be of much different quality.Honestly I'm more bummed about Ridley, though after a conversation with Kody, there seems to have been a rather unfortunate misunderstanding of the rules/stats on my part so I guess I have to own up on that end. |

Fun fact: GROSS has as many wins as Pterodactyl. Not gonna front, I put blood, sweat, and years off my life into that thing and the fact that it's only 6-4 is really frustrating (to put it mildly). I mean, I think both robots should have done better. I think many people are disappointed with the performance of at least one of their bots this season. GROSS has a flaw but I checked at the beginning of the season, and I saw only 2 robots that had good matchups against it, and the rest simply didn't have enough armor or had some huge flaw that was worse. Gamma Ray's in the same hole that Ridley's in too. That one I can understand, though I still feel it could've done better, in my heart of hearts. Edited by BEES, Jun 28 2015, 12:18 AM.

Okay, we have a fun little dilemma here... Scatterbrain, Conqueror and Dead are all tied for the last Lightweight playoff spot. So we gotta do a playoff rumble. Have fun this week kiddos! |
