I agree with you about godlings and rarity, that is why my prefered idea is only charge for first DA.

You still may have to wait months for an above average replacement, but it does not cost you for the repeated need to DA.

A few months back I listed all the replacements in 84 I received for about 12-15 DA's without any that would be considered remotely decent. I followed it up with another month, and nothing. I hate the 40-50 dollars and 2 months (I get slow mail) wasted.

Now if you are in a 81 you know you need a decent roll, a striker or a scum to do quite well as it is truly a great competitive arena. Marginal warriors, and I am running 2 right now, have challenges.

Now, myself I am against increasing Godlings, but many talk that they are but they strive to have more by the primary source of godlings. Yes, by increasing the number of Bloodgames annually. We are currently getting 12 DYO's out a year, usually selected from multiple rolls. Now not all are super gods, but some are.

I would argue increasing quality of rolls at the basic level may take the advantage of financially devoted players to a more level playing field.

So, you have to ask yourself, what type of game are you looking to play. As has been noted in previous postings, many wish for an increase in competitiveness at the ADM level. Or are you someone who just wishes to graduate to ADM and retire.

But do not say you want less godlings and then say oh I want a mail in bloodgames every mail in. Then you would be somewhat of as hypocrite.

Gave me some insight. I always look for 16+ CN on a TP but even with a 13 or 14 CN and a 19 WL he'll (my guy) take tremendous. That's a blindspot of mine you pointed out. Then I saw Consortium's design and figured he'd run that TP to at least a 29-21 record maybe 32-18ish. Now I'm thinking of running his. Damn you Duel2 Laughing

Interesting that our prediction would have been 32-18!
28-22 unlucky/difficult warrior mix
35-15 in a good/lucky mix

as a TP - 14-16-19-3-19-8-5

I peeked at the end of the online NL, no snail mail yet, and noticed this guy graduated finally! I went with Consortium's TP. 14-16-19-3-19-8-5 .

At one point he won 13 in a row to go to 17-3; went on to a 23-7 record ; he was currently at 30-19 so will be at worst 30-20 at graduation invite. Got hosed with Great damage but with one train went to tremendous. He faced alot of ABs at the end and experimented with the BA ( a disaster).

Guessing his sheet will read LO/VL, PAR tactic; LG for weapon; Attack for learn (learned 10 PAR and 10 ATT through his career).

Well done, Street Exclamation

In these days of "instant gratification" demands, and the desire to have a godling given rather than earned, those who can and DO succeed by coaching and teaching up any and all mediocrity are rare.

OK snail mail in hand and another AB for Lug Nut's final match; a loss!

Lug Nut (30-20-0) 15(1)-20(4)-19-3-21(2)-8-6(1) had 16 PAR skillsat graduation (and about 10 fights before that) for his lone rating

LS (egads he was tough with the LG but oh well)

LO/MO no tactic ATT learn (got 2 of the 5 parameters guessed correctly)

I NEVER would have thought to make this guy a TP without Consortium's suggestion. Started with 3 PAR and yet managed that 17-3 start. He was run on maintenance, for the last 20-25 fights, and rarely did I get the oppurtunity to change strats or make challenges so probably could've gone 35-15 but 30-20 is downright awesome for this guy.

Thanks Consortium for the suggestion I now know that even if the design looks totally absurd by skills it is the style and how you run it! New lesson learned!!!
