I've discovered that the stats haven't made much impact in the game afterall. It's more in the detail the players give me that give me accurate fight sequences. If someone says, "Go to C3 and attack" compared to someone who sends me a paragraph or 10 (It's happened!) the second person will probably win, no doubt.

The first Battle Royale has been very impactful for me and It will make the next game that much more fun and balanced. If Atheotes sends in his order, I can get a write-up done tonight and the new game's rules and sign-ups set up tomorrow.

I'm not sure if that would happen or not though.

I give like a paragraph or two...

What do they do, detail every step they take with their feet?

I will publicly post the winner's final order to give people an idea.

I give a paragraph for each different combat situation I can think of, one for movement and looking for weapons etc., and one for a calling card which I had to abandon when the map got smaller.

So 4-6 paragraphs seems reasonable to me

i am surprised i survived till the last round.... the only reason i survived is because i never met anyone

my first day order was 6 words including move, look and kill...

i have now progressed to have about 5-6 lines... so i am really looking forward to the winner's final order.

There are two things that I seem to remember from hosting:

1) Longer orders consider more possibilities which means that in general the person who sends the longer orders will win the round. Though it's important to note that it's not actually the length of the order which is the determining factor, but rather the thought that has gone into the order. A clever but short order will beat an irrelevant essay, but it usually happens that those that give more thought to their orders will also end up writing more.

2) As a host, subconsciously, you feel more inclined to favour those who put effort into your game. Those who send two line orders seem to be taking the piss a bit and as a result will not be favoured by the host, however impartial they try to be.

But I just want to say that this was a great game, for about the 10th time I know, but man was it great.

You are all very lucky me and Centurion did not have a chance to hook up, we both ended up with such complementary characters we would have owned you all

Honestly I think ambush worked well,

very well. I managed to hamstring or surprise almost all my enemies, and my superior tactics won the day!

Ambushes worked for the setting you all were placed in.

But the next island may not be so thick in vegetation, creativity and effort will go a long way in all of my games.
