Colosseum II - Seeding/Character Sheets

[Laxadarap]

THE GLADIATORS!

These fearsome warriors are compiled in order by the time they signed up, with a first come, first serve basis.  The poll attached to this (coming very soon) will be enacted for two reasons. 

• First, to determine who the audience feels is the worthiest gladiator, which will be taken into account when developing the seeding.  Shantu (or the Terminacentaur) has automatic #1 seed as reigning champion. 
• This poll will also be used to determine whether or not you gain strengths from a bye.  I will take the most popular answer, and no complaining, that is democracy.

I will keep the gladiators updated on this thread instead of a separate thread for each (unless anybody has an issue with this) simply because it is less work.

Now, I present to you! The gladiators! (Arranged by seed)

Jenkarp and D-caps are the exact same gladiator?    Now Jenkar's lack of own avatar makes sense!    /sarcasm

But for real, same gladiator so far.  Also, I laughed out loud to myself at the office here when I saw Oni's gladiator/avatar!!!

[Laxadarap]

Yeah, they actually chose the exact same thing XD.

  I owe an apology then.  Sorry DANIEELA.  I did not intend to offend you with the nickname.

Is there anything shorter or with fewer capital letters in it that is OK to refer to you?  I just skimmed here and didn't find anything regarding your nickname, so feel free to add it there if you wish!

Ah, classic Danieela. <3

Interesting facts:

All the character styles are used except Beast Master, Iron Bodyguard, and Wind Adept.
There's no Fractal players which is too bad. I think the style can work with the right Strength/Weakness strategy.

The two most popular character styles are Assassin (5) and Healer (3).
I'm kind of surprised that we had so many Healers and so few Planar Beings.

The 3 most popular strengths are Tough (4), First Blood (3), and Self-Confident (3).
Tough is a great strength. Most who chose First Blood also chose Mindless, which is a sneaky way to increase the potency of First Blood. Self-Confident is a big risk, but will hopefully give you the extra boost you need when you need it most (against the better players in the end game).

The most popular weaknesses were Coward (6), Mindless (6), Crybaby (5), Pious (5), and Weak (5).
It's interesting that nobody who chose Coward Brave also chose Weak. That's dangerous because it's not enough to have 0 upgrades when people can have negative upgrades with Weak and Skinny. Crybaby and Pious make a lot of sense since they give you access to a fifth card while only having a small chance of landing in an arena where you can't use Fire or Darkness.

The players using the most common choices: Danieela and Jenkar.

The most unique player: Blacksmith.

Da Vag is fine by me.Actually,make it Magus Da Vag

I think you might be confusing Coward for something else as choosing Coward AND Weak is setting yourself up for never having more than your original strength availabe...

Oops. You're right. I got Coward mixed up in my head with Brave. Okay, so not pairing Coward and Weak is not so bad, and in fact really good! Not pairing Brave and Weak can make Brave less useful.
