Four left, and I've not gone yet. The suspense is killing me!

Oh, and sorry for the dude with the bag over his head.

I posted the schedule somewhere a few matches ago, and you're in the last match of Round 1. It's your responsibility to end Round 1 with a flourish.

Assuming the average human can run 10 mph, that is 14.6667 feet per second. More than enough time to close that distance and bash his head with ape bone or the baton.

**Buehler445** · 07-20-2018, 01:59 PM

Baton. Club the cloth bag. Ballgame.

**Rain Man** · 07-20-2018, 02:01 PM

The question in my mind was whether colt459 could withstand about 58 seconds of a police beating. It seems like it's possible. Just curl up and hang onto your cutlass for dear life. Once you get the bag off, you've got a big advantage.

I wonder if the proper strategy would be to curl up, or to swing wildly with the cutlass. But I presume that you stand a better chance of losing the cutlass if you're swinging it blindly.

swing wildly with the cutlass, sword beats club.

I'd probably try and listen the best I could to kysirsoze's approach, then start swinging wildly.

I'm not sure how thigh bone of a large ape made it into the weapons pool, but it really gives me a chuckle.

But the person with the club can see him swinging, dodge him, hit the sword out of his hands and beat him in the head. Or her could not waste time and just get a good first blow to the head.

If he's running at 10mph he's going to be making a lot of noise. I think that's a big factor here.

TLO · 07-20-2018, 02:17 PM

I hope in my draw my primary weapon is thigh bone from a large ape and my secondary weapon is thigh bone from a small ape.

Can't he cut the cloth bag off?

That's a bit of a leap. He would have to get very close to do this in 60 sec.
