Unraveller, can I make a change to the build or is it locked in?

Crush keeps his 176 points. Buying nothing.

You guys are crazy.

The builds will be locked in after the first match begins.

Whoa! Both Crush and Pliskin keep their points? What a twist!

It is a viable strategy.

Especially since they are fighting each other - although, if this were a blind competition and we were unable to see our opponent's choices, it would be much more of a gamble.

Right, perhaps a blind tourney would be a good idea, though would it be blind in the sense of knowing only one anither's race? Or perhaps being able to see their skills and equipment while being oblivious to their remaining points?

With that being said, I prefer the open format.

Yes, I don't think I'll ever change the format of an un progress game. That doesn't rule it out for the future however.

Ideally not 100% blind. Too much random doesn't leave much space for strategy. I was more thinking about knowing who you will be fighting and the gladiator's initial stats/equipment, but you don't know how the manager distributed the points. Since you know who you are fighting, you can try to gauge how they will distribute their points.

To change the rules in the middle of a game is a mortal sin !

Is there a set time for the round tomorrow? I don't think I'll be able to access my computer until the morning so I can't post the new build for Bax.

Don't worry, I probably won't start the matches until everyone involved has updated their gladiator.

Oh Max, you may already know this, but there are no spots in this tournament, but your troll will certainly get a spot for the next one, I promise!
