I reposted this forum in the WeBL pages and linked to it in press. Hope nobody minds.

Not at all, thanks for the promotion -- we need a more effective way of getting this spread around to newer guys.

Nice work, chico. Maybe another posting in the rookie press releases and the regular forums to generate some interest?

The activity has waned, well, stopped. We do need a better way to promote it because I know having the experienced managers around to speak with helped many of us newer gyms, like myself and PnP, succeed. We'll have to keep up with regular press releases and mention to new gyms that this forum is still here and active.
By the way Pride, isn't it about time for them to run you out of rookies as well? They put me out last week heh, over the 500 fight limit.

Yeah, I left a couple weeks ago actually. I'd been pulling my guys out but had to fight the last couple that had been scheduled already. I'm focusing on Central now.

You were ranked #1 in chess before you left I believe. I have my first Regional title fight tonight against Bad Bit, ugh. I have a 10-0-1 counter puncher ranked #1 in his division, hopefully it will go well. It is a good match-up for me, his fighter is a Ropist and mine is a counter puncher.

Bah, I was given good advice by a decent Counter Puncher manager in Evil Empire and I didn't take it, needless to say his advice was right. I thought using counter I could pound Gnus fighter early and perhaps get him to back off some on the power so I could feint late and win on points. Speed is usually the downfall of the ropist, however my clan mate told me that I was using too high of a power line, I believe I went 5/9/6, and that I would end up being worn out and not be able to win the fight late on points, he suggested 5/5/10. I thought I could hang with his Ropist endurance wise for the first few rounds, do some damage and get a score lead, make him chase score.....
Needless to say my clan mate was correct, Gnu had my guy sucking wind by the end of the fight and too tired to be effective in the second half of the fight.
I suppose I should take his advice next time, I should have known better anyway as I manage Ropists almost exclusively. In truth I probably should have ducked Gnu and took a fight that may have been easier, although my other alternatives for an opponent included Stalkers or NBO....

Sardonic, i am sure I have asked you this before, but what build do you prefer?
I was originally going AGI > SPD > STR with SPD at .66 to .75 of AGI, now I am trying AGI > STR > SPD with SPD at .50 of Agility. Just wondering which build you favor, or more precisely, which build you won the world titles with.

I could have sworn I PM'd you the exact stats of multiple ropists of mine... All's well, perhaps it was an email to someone else. As with any answer, mine is long and drawn out, so I'll hold it off 'till tomorrow -- or if I'm feeling ambitious after returning from the bar, perhaps I'll give it a try then

d**n, you know, I think you did, let me look through my PM's.
Save your answer until I look through my PM's, you give such detailed answers I would hate to make you explain the same thing twice....
wait, you did send it to me...
I'll look through my PM's.

I've been considering starting a couple ropists as well, and I'd be interested in seeing this.
