canoworms

Main Weapon - The thigh bone of a large ape
Backup Weapon - BB gun with 50 BBs, each of which is coated with enough poison to slow a person down by 4 percentage points

Special Factors - You're wearing an eye patch on your right eye, which you can't remove

Does the slow effect of the poison stack with each BB?

Sofa King · 07-10-2018, 08:29 AM

What kind of BB gun? Semi automatic? Red Ryder? Fully auto CO2 gun? Pump B.B. gun? Is canoworms right or left handed- can he shoot opposite hand at a moving target? The BB gun is the kicker. A semi auto could slow him down enough to beat him to death and would cause him to be too slow to throw the stars effectively. But a pump is worthless.

This may be the toughest one yet. At first glance, the BB gun would be a good advantage but people may fail to understand how much your equilibrium is off when you consistently can only use one eye. Conversely, throwing anything on a beach is not easy due to the lack of solid ground under your feet. The rocks require close proximity to matter and we've already seen the small stars be basically irrelevant. Give me bludgeoning to death via ape bone in a close one.

This is another good one.

I'm guessing at 81 feet canoworms manages 2 shots with the BB gun before he has to switch to the ape's thigh bone which leaves detox at 8% less (which isn't much) and then it comes down to melee. Pretty equal prep time on a beach...

This is a coin toss. I'll await arguments from the combatants.

I think ninja stars need to be removed from the wheel of death. Is this the third or fourth fight with ninja stars?

Yes, it has a cumulative effect, and the effect is four percentage points, not percent. So 25 hits is total incapacitation.

It's a classic pump BB gun where one must manually do that thing with the thing under the trigger to place the next BB into the chamber.

Well, then, you might want to practice your ninja star throwing. Or maybe we'll revert to the mean and your practice will be useless. There's no telling, really.

Beef Supreme · 07-10-2018, 08:51 AM

Coincidentally, I am a ninja star expert. So if I get ninja stars in my matchup, it's game over.

Hmmm. You can fire one of those decently fast, but don’t expect over 20% . They’re inaccurate at too much distance as well.

ChiliConCarnage · 07-10-2018, 09:00 AM

Is the slowing just of foot movement or would it slow arm movement as well?

The poison is total slowing of body and mind. Maybe it's more of a sedative than a poison.

We can call them "Quaalude Pellets".

Actually canoworms, would you mind shooting me 3x before I have to meet with clients @ 10am?

Thx in advance!

whoa whoa whoa.

Before everyone starts voting, i'd like to point out that i grew up on the beach, so i know the terrain extremely well.

Also, as a kid i threw a rock at a bully who was trying to pick on me. I made him cry. AND, i spent a lot of time skipping rocks, so i am quite proficient with this sort of weapon.
