Heh, glad to amuse at the expense of my character's dignity I've just realised the trickster style is actually a powerful defensive tool if you are going to post second in a round (opponents are reduced in attacks), and a powerful offensive tool if you are going to post first (since opponent won't know the phrases in the previous round). Edit: just saw you retracted the phrases, that's also cool. Anyone not knowing the phrases and my style choice will be wondering whta the heck I was smoking to make that my first post!

It's true, if they knew the phrase they'd have to come up with something else to do. I do like that aspect of everyone knowing the phrases. But the trickster does have to be able to gain their points, and the phrases are fairly hard to get off as is. Since you don't get points for limiting your opponent, and they could still probably find a way to increase their score creatively, I think it's best the phrases are hidden as per your suggestion.

That was highly amusing. It's far too early for me to cast any votes though!

I just hope there's more people watching than the three of us ^_^
I'm not sure how many people are browsing the forums these days, but I think this could be the most entertaining fighting tournament I've held. It's sort've like a mini west watch, what with everyone adding their own style to the fights.

I just hope there's more people watching than the three of us ^_^ I hope so too, or my first fight might be brief and unexciting.

Where's the list of words for each style again?

@ BC: the style lists are in my second post in the Stadium thread.
All styles and match ups will be given there, in as "in character" a way as possible.

Trickster style for next post - does the previous list still stand? And sorry, need bed soon or else we could get a few posts going!

Let me clarify this. When you choose a style, you choose it for an entire round. The lists don't change until the next round. And you can't mix styles. once you've choosen, that's what's your using until next round.
EDIT: Also, don't forget the secret word that gains you lots of points! The clue for it was given in the stadium, but I'll drop it here again.

This is a lot of fun so far, Zipp! Great tourney! Glad you like it! And good first post! Remember, though, that you can't make attacks for your opponent. I'll let you modify the last piece of your post, where you have Beowuuf attack you. I'll modify it myself if it hasn't changed by tonight.

I suddenly twigged as I re-read the rules, so new post up! Eight rounds to go anyway, I've said wolf at least twice so it can't be that!

Oops! Sorry, lots of rules to remember! It is now changed. Yeah, I know! Sorry about that! I figure people will get used to them after the first round. Plus, I'm not planning on changing my tournament rules for the next tournament, so hopefully people will stay used to them! Kick ass fight by the way... wow! Some real surprises here!
