Turn 104

Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2011 10:44 am

1-4-0 for me, so I'm taking Aragorn's approach and telling myself that was 2010!

I got a few challenges thrown at me as expected, which are always repaid, so I'm looking forward to 2011.

In 2010, I tried to get in touch with my Free Blade roots and exercised a laissez-faire approach to the game. 2011 will be the year of the Delarq just to spice things up a bit.

well... 0-5-5 with 4 DA's and a death during bloodfued caps my official "worst first few turns in a new arena".

the last remaining killed this turn was Grape Jelly 9-5-12-17-21-9-11 STRIKER. Evil or Very Mad

since i will have 5 new replacement roll ups, if they aren't stellar i will transfer the team out and drop a new one in. 6 in one really. but why spend $10.75 to DA 5 guys over and over when i can just drop a new team in?

eh- either way... this run of bad luck will end soon hopefully.

That was a pretty nice ST! Now I feel even a little bit worse about killing him. I hope your new RU's or team sheet are good one's to help cancel out some of the really bad luck you've had to deal with lately. Good luck.

Ouch! Maybe 23 isn't your lucky number, good luck with the replacements or replacement team...I guess it is a replacement team no matter how you look at it Confused

2-3 not too bad, kind of what I expected, kind of nice to beat a Worfmaster with the new team.

Guess it is time to start talking about the Elephant in the arena again, welcome back you big lug!!!

Welcome back to the Paper Tigers as well!!!

Deepthought congrats on the throne and you didn't even have to back into it. Is this your first DM in Shadowspire?

3-2 for the Guild. Not great, but not bad.

Big drop in the rankings for Cyril, but that was not unexpected.

Missed the BF on Darque. Didn't even get the matchup. I assume you were avoiding? Or did I just forget to mark it a BF? Sounds like something I might do.

The young guys are going in opposite directions.

And welcome back to the Muscle! And the Tigers as well, although they have been here more recently.

Is anyone else having problems with Terrablood site for Shadowspire? It was fine earlier but now only shows the top (awards and such) and that is it. I have tried closing out of the internet completely but it stays the same for me, the other arenas seem fine though.

I think that is the Duel 2 Gods punishing you for calling me the Worfmasters! Razz

In all seriousness though, it seems to be working fine for me.

Nope, worked fine.

Figured out the problem, when I reconfigured my team name it left off the closing () in the number which is kind of similar to my last number, the Unholy Knights were 81 and the O' Holy Knights are 118...kind of like the reverse with a stutter Laughing

What a start to 2011, 4-1 and the first Duelmaster from the Monster Manual. The only loss came from Xorn acting as Berserker's wingman and keeping Elthor occupied so the big man could go for the throne. Aside from that, the Pit Fiend got his 4th win in a row and the new Monster, Tiamat, started out in the win column. I still have not received my turn and I can't wait to read it.

Thanks GB, it took a LONG time to get here and I would not have bet that Berserker was going to be our first DM. You never know until they step onto the sands.

Speaking of Terrablood, I've been flying blind since I have not been able to access TB fully for about 8 months. I somehow screwed up my password and can't get a response about setting up a new one. Funny thing is, my record has really improved since I have not been able to see everyone's styles.

Bubba, oooffff, an 0-5-0-5...it can only get better from there.

I don't avoid blood feuds in this arena, and if I do anywhere else I just sit the warrior. I have no problem doing it, but I opted against it with this team, many times to my disadvantage.

No, I'm confident that I lost the challenge I did receive because I was playing rock/paper/scissors with my strat trying to figure out who you would send.

3-2 for the Far Travelers ... a fair turn overall, but I will need to see the losers' fights to determine their fate. The losing + not learning combination is getting old for some.

A nice big 5-0 for the Diner this turn. That makes 10-0 in the last two turns if you're scoring at home (or if you're alone). And I didn't even get current top team! Outrageous. Stay tuned to see if they can pull off an unheard of 15-0 next week!

Not unheard of in Shadowspire actually, Kellumbo did it back in the first 10 turns and was 14-1 the turn before

I didn't want to avoid the Elephant in the room - I want to welcome him back! Good to see you brother. D2 is like Hotel California - you can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!
