When does round 2 go down?

I have a bowl of popcorn and a 12-pack.

I get this is for fun, but what exactly constitutes the truthfulness of this "battle royale", I mean I could just make up a bunch of random results and say that "Eldrad beats Swarmlord to become the BEST SC EVER!".

The point I'm getting at is this thread seems to be spawned by an argument in another thread and likely will be used as fodder for future arguments so maybe a filming of the "battle" or "battles" from here on out will be beneficial to avoid any allegations of "fixing"

(IE if Dante and Moloc come to blows no-one will ever freaking believe who the winner is unless its filmed, hell even after that people will continue to claim one is better than the other because of his weapons or fighting style or hair do or recipe for Tyranid Ribs)

Don't knock the SoBs recipe for Thornback Ribs. They are tasty with a hint of Napalm.

Regardless of who wins it won't mean a thing. 5 rounds isn't a big enough sample to be meaningful, and it's not like it's hard to calculate the average result anyway.

Since we're on to page two without a response, I'll keep spamming: Helbrecht's rules are wrong!

Give me a break guys finding the time to work it out has been rough.

We are encouraging you maaaaan.

In what direction should I offer the bribe in order to fix the match for Dante.

I'm sure Moloc can double whatever bribe you throw out there Dante may be in gold armor but he ain't made out of money laugh out loud.

Dante isn't fighting you. He is up against Draigo. You have Logan to contend with.

And Logan don't need no money. He has an entire brewery in his back yard. And front yard. And garage. And bedroom. Come to think of it every room contains a brewery. In fact even his brewery contains a brewery.

Just out of curiosity, how much do you reckon 6k+ suits of Power, Artificier and Terminator Armour and dozens of battle-barges, strike cruisers and forge ships are worth? Because I get the feeling that it's more than whatever any other one Chapter can put up.

Does that mean the Templars win the bribery contest?

Calgar would just hand over ultramar if he needed to bribe someone.

Grey don't need no bribery. They literally get whatever they want/need to win.

Has this stopped now? No updates for ages.

Don't know.

Funny, this has Gabriel Angelos in this battle, and i have rules for him, so GABE YOU DIDN"T HAVE TO FOREFIT!!! Maybe if this is done again, you can check my rules out in my sig, they're pretty fair IMHO.
