HW- Really? Really? I actually bother to RP for a fight I knew would be hopeless, and that's the thanks I get for it? I knew I shouldn't have bothered to RP for this one in the first place. Don't get me wrong, it's not the loss itself I have a problem with- all things considered, it was going to happen. But if the whole "completely destroying MoP and me crying" thing was the writer's idea of a joke, I'm not fucking laughing. Wasn't just taking out the drive enough?
Unlike Luna, Ridley is a bloodthirsty Space Pirate and shows no mercy.

Ironically the result ends up being surprisingly accurate, for different definitions of "crying". :v:

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.

Yay! 3-1, with my only loss being in LW, which is pretty much expected. Put a good fight, though. Nice one, Badnik.

Next week should be interesting.

You can't win if you don't RP. If RPing gave me a 1% chance of winning I'd do it, just because it's better than definitely losing.

He is in fact, just like the rest of the competitors here, a robot. Made out of metal, running on batteries, and remote-controlled...or in this case, controlled by RPs. In an actual competition, someone going apeshit and just completely destroying an opponent like that without their regard would probably get them kicked out.

KOing is fine, but you've aslo got to have some restraint, you know? Some sense of Sportsmanship about it, at least leaving enough to fix for later on.

Oh hell yes! 3-1 week, a perfect bounce back! :D

LW: Holy smokes Batman! DTOM has finally pulled a victory out of the bag. Hopefully, a comeback is in the cards, but we'll wait and see. Good match Josh.

MW: This one I was very happy to win, was a tough fight by the looks of things, but I somehow squeeze out the victory, great match Alex. Merry is now 2-2 and back in the runnings.

HW: This is my most happiest one to win. I thought I was gonna get creamed by SOTAR, but I managed to defy the odds and pull off a big win. 3-1 and definitely riding a wave of momentum

SHW: .... Lol?

All in all, a fucking great week, hopefully the wave of momentum carries on to this week too.

Unlike Luna, Ridley is a bloodthirsty Space Pirate and shows no mercy.

Ironically the result ends up being surprisingly accurate, for different definitions of "crying". :v:

He didn't write the result, and also Ridley and MoP aren't real.

Considering the amount of times you've anthropomorphized your robots or have discussed the cubing of your opponenets, I think I'm allowed a tongue-in-cheek joke here and there.

If you DO want to go the "straight" route though, then no, none of these bots are metal etc... They are, in fact, images and not even tangible ones. Ridley ripping up Master of Puppets isn't going to cost you a fortune in repairs.

Finally, I've had more losses than you've even compeated in fights. I promise you I've had matches where I've been ripped up/humilated/whatever. It's fine dude. Just roll with the punches.

Well, OK. Dying with some dignity would've been nice, though. And perhaps with a nice Pina Colada beforehand, too.

I beat Cupid, so wouldn't that place me above him in the rankings instead of below?

Well, it's a technicality, but still. Some form of metal is generally what most fighting robots are made of, so I just mentioned that.

Ah, alright. Was just a little confused it all.

Looking at week 5, I could be in for a good week. LW I'm fucked in. MW I get the FF win, 'Nette vs Grave Robber and CoTD could potentially beat Hepheastus. 2-2 week at worst I hope.

On that note, let's see who we've got.

LW- Recovered. Ah, I remember this guy. He was one of a few Conks beat in LORE, and this time I'm fighting him with a design that's strong against Thwackers. I'm quite liking my chances, here.

MW- March or Die. Fresh from its defeats at the hands of Marauder's Granny, comes a rather nice little front-hinge Flipper design. If Lyra can keep up her attacks, make use of the environment and not give him a chance to bring the flipper into play, hopefully she should be able to take back a win here.

HW- Kraze. Ho boy, this won't end well. Better than last week's match-up by a long shot still, but the combination of big flipper, similar drive and better wedge could cause me some watery problems here.

SHW- Buffalo Steak Sandvich. Always intriguing to see a robot with dual-weaponry here, so this should be good. The big exposed framework, my Spikes, and choice of hazards at my disposal in the ARC Arena...oh yes!

that's dumb. tiebreakers are who won the matchup. if there was a 3-way tie i'd just place them alphabetically. the arc power rankings were always supposed to be like a "if the season ended today heres whod make the playoffs" thing
