And you could have also risked losing your entire weapon on the next hit. I saw the term "intelligent aggression". My thought was that you wanted to keep the pressure on him, but wouldn't want to risk losing your half working weapons. I didn't see a strategy on what to do if the weapon was dead, so I wasn't sure what to do. Therefore, I suspected that you wanted to keep it aggressive, but did not want your weapon to break. But if needed, I'm willing to do a rewrite

considering how low the chances are of him actually hitting my weapon (which I again layed out in my RP), I am going to ask for a re-write, seeing as how you have managed to convince me even less that you make a good writing choice with every post :V

Been looking for time for the other fights. It's still a 4 armored bot with 8 weapon armor trying to use a speed advantage the size of an apple seed to evade a deathhammer for 3 minutes. I'm not seeing much of a change in outcome due to this fact, but that said, I'll see what I can do with the rewrite

Hold on a minute though, why are we doing rewrites when there's still a number of the previous fights missing altogether? Surely, those should take priority.

my place as a TO =/= my place as a participant in the tournament, but if he wants to re-write it before finishing his other fights that's his prerogative. he's at least mostly up to date. although I quite dislike the fact that he is misinterpreting my want for him to give logical context to occurances in the fight as a want for him to cause the match to end up in my favor.

In which I hope that I made myself clear in this rewrite. And I'm a bit confused as to where you got that assumption. Though I do feel that I'm not quite trusted as a writer by some, which I am currently trying to regain that trust

<big>Mid-Tournament Roundup</big>
With the tournaments 2 weeks away from playoffs and things really starting to heat up, how about we look at each team as a whole and how they've performed thus far. organized by winning percentage let's get a few fun facts out of the way.

Undefeated robots - 14 (Guleh/HowlerII/Talons Out&#33;/Mudcrab/Reinhardt/Slither/Corporate Interests/Black Dog/PnATO/Axtingusher/REX/Coup de Grace/Chimera V)
Undefeated teams - 1 (Chaotic Robotics)
People who have FFed every match since week 2 - 2
Most painful Match name - The Fantastic gyoscopic Brothers vs The Four Wheeled Six Toothed Driving Purple Robot Eater
Matches still missing from weeks before the current one - 14
People with a worse winning percentage than Peskius - 6
Matches decided by Wolf trying a strategy that never had a chance of working - 2
Current robot subject to the greatest amount of communal salt - Hellhound (despite Safe Space existing)
Times a crusher has won a match in this tournament (using its crusher configurations) - 1
Times a crusher has used a configuration other than its crusher configuration - 8
Number of "bot rush" jokes, references, and serious usages: &#8734;
Number of teams I forgot to add into this initially - 1 (sorry attackfrog :V)


100% - Chaotic Robotics: 7-0 (4-0/3-0)
He may have chosen to only enter two robots, but the two he did enter are incredibly strong, yet to take a loss in this fights that have been written, though apparently no one likes writing this guy

It's been a bad start for my machines and the sudden FF's from Week 3 I think was because I went to the Netherlands for a few days holiday. I feel the draw of the group has been unfortunate for some of my machines, but lets hope I can make a good U turn and get back in form.

You know, I may have to adopt the "Monochrome Box of Sadness" as an actual nickname. :v:

I'm a little annoyed that I lost with DOA again to an Exploit-Bot that would probably snap in half down the middle in real life, but to be honest- the convoluted plan this time was pretty much the only shot I had at getting past the scoop, and it did at least stop me from being KOed, so there was that. Hopefully though, seeing it's a spinner-on-spinner fight next, I can get another win for it there.

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