Okay, but the thing is, Hypothermia and Klarinette fight each other this week. Unless you're planning to forfeit that fight (which is unfair on YOU), you better have someone else RP for Klarinette, because you being in control of both bots is somewhat unfair as well.
Had a chat about this on Discord, and I have volunteered to drive Klarinette about the arena this week.
Thanks man, that should be good.

Well then, that's all my stuff up. Hopefully it'll pay off, but I doubt it.

Yeah I spent my first few years on ARC entering 3 mediocre robots just to enter one robot I cared about basically. Wasn't until CBBR that I fielded four competitive entries instead of one. It's definitely pretty nerve-wracking having all your hopes and dreams hanging on one robot.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Since Bass Drop vs Morbid has to be re-rewritten, I may end up 0-4 this week (excluding PD).
Not 0-5 because I haven't quite lost at life yet.


Nvm, somehow I managed a win with Bass Drop?

Considering how tough that week could have been, 3-1 seems like a good outcome to me. Thought I'd be able to deal with Sundown Ranger, but it's still only Bloodlust's first loss. I've been pleasantly surprised with how well it's been doing so far. =)

RIP Icepick Lobotomy's winning streak.

Charybdis sucks as usual, although even with the new melty rules I doubt I'd have won that fight.

Compound Fracture is now 5-1 halfway through the tournament, as is IL.

I haven't heard any reference to the weapon armor rule for spinners being +2 if more than 1/3 of surface area; I thought it was diameter-based, and the 1/3 rule is for armor that's given stat bonuses only. There was some discussion of weapons with huge surface areas for Pressure Drop, but I'm pretty sure that was after Backlash started... and if we're updating rules mid-tournament Charybdis should really be winning more fights ;-)

In any case, I don't think that rule is necessary for full-body drums. Yes, most of the robot's surface is very durable, but the wheels are far-forward compared to regular vertical spinners, they're a big target for horizontal spinners, and losing one will stop the weapon. The parts without weapon armor are small, but they are significantly easier to attack than on a shell or overhead spinner.

ah, it appears I forgot to actually send that match (it was written :P ). fortunately the result that (I'm assuming) you wrote ended similarly enough to the one I wrote.

whoopdeedoo a 4-0! 5-0 if you count Reddit! and I actually earned all of them but the Lightweight one!
