Lapur II

Posted: Mon Aug 17, 2009 9:01 am

After 24 pages of Lapur I decided to start a new Lapur thread. It's a pain hitting that little "24" on my crappy Ipod to read the thread lol. So I'm overthrowing the old thread to make this the new thread (since this is as close as me can come to overthrowing anything).

Damn I lost 2 decent warriors in one turn and I think for the first time ever I had a current Duelmaster get killed.

Had no intention of killing your duelmaster just wanted ta get the jump and try to beat ya for the throne. Didn't really think lucky would win let alone kill the laddie. My apology I will make sure lucky arrives on the sands the next 4 turns so long as mail doesn't prevent it from happening

the DM column adds to the drama... hehe

owlsy: i see you're right down the road. gonna make the FTF i presume?

Owsly no biggie, I doubt I will bloodfued. The only option I have is Rindel and I don't think he can beat Lucky. Normally I would hope for a input error, but I doubt that is true since they were running on maintenance.

Didn't get my turns in mail today either...grrrrr.

Jailyn is my third try with the exact same stats of graduates Beleg (16-9)from Lapur and Slim (20-9)from Shadowspire. 15-9-7-17-9-12-15.

Thernys was an under achieving experiment in a mail-in last year. 14-3-7-20-14-16-10. I bumped his WT, WL and DF in first three fights, then failed bumping ST in fourth and ran him in Apprentice tourney. The experiment was a huge bust since he went 0-2 in tourney. He was fast, but for some reason had problems fighting against scale or higher armor, which is weird for a slasher.

I may not get in the tourny (dependant on funding) but I wanna be there to meet managers and such as I've never been to any of the FTF before. I'm looking forward to it. The other catch is whether or not it sneaks up on me without me realizing it lol

With Jehlch recieving his invite I have finally achieved the goal of graduating 1 of each style from the same team.

Congrats! Nice accomplishment. Jehlch was a tough plunger. Ironically, PL would have been my first graduate in Lapur if I hadn't entered Cuddle Me Tender into a tourney at 18 FE where she was killed by one of OAB's assassins (sniffle) a couple years ago.

Congrats! I'm a little disappointed since Jehlch also managed to finally beat Gilean Yasur after losing to him 3 times in the past. I guess you finally figured out the strategy or just outlasted him. I was hoping to get his invite this turn and fight the tourney as an immortal, but he already got eliminated and he survived, so I guess it's all good.

Again, congratulations!

Jeeez I forgot about that, I am glad Gilean survived the tourney. Actually Jehlch only needed 2 more political points and I didn't want another Fimnar in 81. So I put him in survival mode wearing plate armor and gave him a shield instead of an off-hand weapon.

Yeah, that was probably (obviously?) a good idea in this case. Now Gilean may have to contend with all the other good fighters at the top of that arena, including at least one or two who've made exceptional showings in the tournament.

...one more win is all I ask...
