Dart attacks from above with the stick. Winnah

**cabletech94** · 08-12-2018, 12:00 PM

i sure hope it's a magic lasso. if it isn't i'll just aim for the eyes with my squirt gun (too easy, btw) blind the god of darts and grab or push him from his perch.

but after giving it 20 seconds of thought, i don't have to stay on the rope ladder. i just toss that lasso around dart gods neck and pull him off. a fall from 8 feet? easy peasy. next round, cabletech94!!

Yeah. It IS possible to fire the squirt gun while on the ladder, a but a good hit won't be easy before getting stabbed with the stick. If he goes up the ladder he can definitely hit him though. Lasso is such a pussy backup weapon though.

Is there a time limit? I could see this just being a "I refuse to come up" "I refuse to come down" type battle. The loser is the one that moves.

If I'm cabletech94, I just stay on the ground and keep throwing the lasso until I rope him, then pull him off. If he lies down to avoid the lasso, I just rain ammonia on him and make him uncomfortable, then quickly climb the ladder if I hear him cursing that it got in his eyes.

I think this is a winnable match for cabletech.

Chiefs4TheWin · 08-12-2018, 01:18 PM

On one hand I don't see why Cable would try to scale the ladder in the first place. Dart would have to come down eventually with those weapons.

On the other hand I think Cable still loses even if he does force Dart down.

Edit: had the contestants backwards. ugh.

Time limit? What factors are in place to MAKE someone move first?

If there's no death or submission within 15 minutes, the person who pressed the most attacks on the other wins. If there's no contact or combat at all within fifteen minutes, the person who moved least toward the other one (or the furthest away) loses. I think that's fair.

**TinyEvel** · 08-13-2018, 12:46 AM

This match would almost be as exciting to watch as the Chiefs Texans game last week. Almost.

With this being the case, all cable tech has to do is run over 100 deer to the tree house and lob ammonia up there and wait out the 15 minutes. This is honestly a super easy win for cabletech then.

Does cabletech have a Magical Lasso?

threebag · 08-13-2018, 07:12 AM

Cabletech is on Darts stick with his Magical Lasso.

**Dartgod** · 08-13-2018, 08:06 AM

So, here's how this goes down...

I take one of the smoke bombs and attach it to the shrill whistle with the piano wire so that when activated, the pressure from the emitting smoke blows the whistle. I leave my lofty perch and place and active the smoke bomb, then hide strategically. Cabletech hears the whistle and heads towards it thinking that he is going to disable me with the ammonia filled squirt gun. Before he can discover that I have set a trap for him, I leap from my hiding place and stab him in the neck with my sharp stick...repeatedly until dead.
