This was pointed @ Ness

I have a feature request.  Can K'Hare do it?  Or is it too great a task for even him to "engineer"?
 
Howbout a scoreboard, but not just a normal one.  The points you gain for each match are variable.
 
You gain more points for winning with honor
You get good points for winning dirty
You get some points for losing with honor
You lose a few points for losing dirty
 
Also, it'd be cool if you gained more points for defeating players with a higher rated skill than your own.

Yeh, except Ness IC is not supposed to have much skill with a batletH.

I remember well the incident on the holdeck - Ness didn't realise we had safety off as standard and he went there to train.  He'd only been with us a week or so IC I guess.  His next stop was Sickbay.
 
If he was still like that he'd be fun to watch sparring himself...
 
I would have been surprised if he outskilled Frem, for example, as we know from the first Tourney that Frem can indeed fight quite proficiently.  Anyone who never saw him fight, if you've beaten him it means you are quite competent, he's about as good as a Ferengi can get...  OK, if you lost to Frem that might not be any comfort.
 
If Flim was

Yeah... I really need to put in something that lets the two fighters comment after it is over.
 
But as you see, I haven't had time to put in the code to make ness always lose so he beat Frem, which is an unlikely outcome.
 
From that fight you see that it looks like misses went up.  I need to look into that.  It's bugged me since I made the change to remove the round off problem.  It seems like everyone misses more (see the first blood match where ness beats K'Hare).  I could tune up things so missing doesn't happen so much and blocking happens more... the net effect should be about the same but there would be less swishing.  What do people think?
 
I also need to put in something that allows for someone to decline.  I know I am mostly ignoring first blood combat now.  Maybe I will play with them again once I put in the thing to let you fight differently... i.e. agressive or defensive...etc.   Or maybe I should alter first blood so that everyone fights with a defense bonus/attack minus... since the point is the first hit.  Again, comments?
 
But really, I don't have much time to play with the combat app.  There is too much to do before the betleH comp.  It will only get more changes before betleH 4 if I get in the right mood.  But after, I have a bunch of things planned... like using the different weapons.

Interesting.. here you accuse K'Hare of cheating.

Then here you make a big deal about beating him... so is he cheating or not.. and if he is cheating then why make a big deal out of winning a rigged fight?  *but then... if it was rigged he wouldn't have won *

The thing with First Blood is that in fact it could take a long time to fight in truth, instead of one or two blows.  In a First Blood fight the winning or losing is determined in one blow, lucky or skilled.  So there would be more circling. more feignts.  And even fighting with Honourr you would still take a good shot at an opponent's mistake.  First Blood is ABOUT using the mistake.
 
If anything First Blood is closer to a real fight.  Remember by 'real' I refer to a Klingon fight to the death or a serious challenge, not a sport.  The Tourney is a sport, fair play is much more clear cut in a Tourney.
