ARVAT - Turn 672

Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 10:41 am

Ouch! 0-4-0 for Giant Killers and lost two of mine this turn. One was a DA and expected, the other was a scum hunter type basher that got picked off.

Sacrifices of small woodland creatures have begun to appease the RUGS.

And again, 4 of mine fought when I only sent in 3 strat sheets, and this time I am 100% positive I only sent 3 because I wrote them down. So, somehow one of my guys must have got put on maintenance, or a glitch has assigned the same id to two guys or something.

Anyway, here's hoping for some rollups that can be something besides a striker. [/img]

I missed getting my strats in at the FTF , so missed this turn but College Radio will be playing a full squad next turn.

Nice to see 15 active teams last turn though.

Grats to Assur on his runner up and immortality.

Also grats to Dark One capturing the throne.

Well, no turn in the mail today. For some reason my Arvat turn comes on Saturday about 20% of the time, but not today. My other arena, DM21, never comes or never has since I am back, come on Saturday. Oh well, have to wait until Monday evening to meet the new recruits.

Got mine today, sorry you didn't get your Master. Went 3-2 so not bad. The learns were not great but I will take the wins. Dark One, I swear I will beat you one of thse days. PM me with you email if you want a scanned copy of the fight, that goes for the rest of you I fought if you didn't get your turns yet

It's very rare these days when I get my Arvat turn on Saturday, and this week was no exception.

Can't complain about the turn from what I see - 3-2-0 with one DA. Would be nice to get a solid replacement and be able to run a full squad.

Glad Assur wrote a DM column and I'll follow up with one of my own this turn.

Thanks for the offer of the scanned fight, Ron. If I don't get my turn on Monday, I'll be sure to be looking for it!

Just took a peek at the newsletter. 20 teams! I should be there next turn to make it 21.

Well Ben, that's what I get for challenging you. You win and get top team, I'm in 2nd place. argh.

2-3 for Bowl O'Rama.

One thing that is interesting... so far my skill learns in 3 turns are pretty bad compared to my other squads. Even with the higher wit guys on the squad. I hope it's just a function of sample size....

I'm considering DA'ing one of the guys because of frustration with him. Two turns in a row, no skills learned. Granted he's not a brainiac, but sheesh!

Your darn tootn that's what you get, I really was surprised you made that challenge and then just to add more difficult to you Sir Veillance went to teh tourney and picked up a few tricks that he unselfishly showed your Wee bowl

Just got thru doing my strats and planning my total dominance of Arvat and writing my Current Top Team Column. Now my plans are both devious and exceedingly intellectually thought out. There is no hope of any of you over taking my throne of team dominance, but not only are you invited to try but it is required for my plans to come to fruition. So fight your hardest so as to keep your honor but understand that defeat is inevitable and not your fault. If you plan accordingly you should be able to save face an still feel proud of yourselves.

See you all on the sands,
Secret Squirrels

Yeah Ben, you've been on the receiving end of some of my "how does this guy stack up" challenges. Didn't expect to win them but wanted to see how they did and hopefully pick up some skill learns.

You've also been on the receiving end of some of my "I wonder what would happen with this weapon" challenges.

But the fights are fun and you keep teaching me stuff, so don't be surprised if we keep running into each other's guys! Cool

Paying homage to the DA roll up gods for few turns till get something worth playing.
