Gladiator Round 1, Match 5: braincase vs. bevischief
 

braincase:

Flail (spiked metal ball on a chain attached to a handle)

Backup bowie knife

Prep time: 91 seconds


bevischief:

3 molotov cocktails

No backup knife

Special factor: Your hands are handcuffed in front of you.

Prep time: 5 seconds




Venue:

Classic desert terrain

Starting distance: 9 feet

Cocktails: pre-lit or not?

Good point. Let's assume the first one can be pre-lit, and others will require lighting.

Shouldn't this be Match 5?

Uhhh...I hate to go Cap'n Obvious but there's no way bevis can throw a Molotov Cocktail when he's handcuffed. He's dead meat.

Dang. Can a mod change it to Match 5, please?

Braincase slices up a terrified bevischief, who also sets himself on fire.

That would seem to be a problem, wouldn't it? Tough break on the special factors.

If he had more prep time, he could possibly think about doing a two-hand overhead throw, but with only 5 seconds of situational assessment I'm not sure he'll have time.

Still can't be a fun 9-foot run for braincase, though, hoping he doesn't get engulfed in a gasoline fire.

I would keep my distance and let bevis throw wildly, then move in for the kill while he vainly tries to light the next cocktail.

Good point. Molotov cocktails have a short shelf life once you light them.

Even so, I'm not sure I'd run backwards. With almost no time to prepare, I think braincase's best option is to immediately charge before bevischief figures out the best throwing motion.

ROFL

That has got to be one of the worst special factors available. bevischief is a dead man

This outcome is pretty clear, lets see matches 6 through 8!

WE DEMAND MORE BLOOD RAIN MAN!

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!

OUch. Love Bevis, but unless he gets lucky he's really ****ed. He's handcuffed and has no time to figure out what the **** is about to happen.
