Do levels actually do anything?
Gladiator (v4) | Game 5 | Sign-Up Phase
Demonseye, Gidey, Nameness and Rabcord are currently Shrouded. XBookwyrmX, Orsome and NyanGamer will be Shrouded next round.
All surviving combatants received 5 EXP
The left avatar finishes crushing Maddymoon’s face and then drops the dead combatant to the ground. “Now I know how it feels to have to eliminate so many combatants because they just don’t do anything.” It waits for the right avatar to come remove the body but then remembers that it’s off duty.
The middle avatar approaches Carl, followed by the right avatar. Carl looks up at them, while shining a coin.
“Yeah, what is it?” asks Carl.
The middle avatar points at the right avatar’s sparking eye.
“Now?”
The middle avatar nods. “It’s urgent. You said you know how, so fix it.”
“Alright.” Carl leaves a note on the bench of his shop and approaches the right avatar. He slowly raises their arm and puts their finger to it’s eye, a bolt of electricity immediately runs through Carl due to the contact and their cloak flops to the ground. The middle avatar looks at the right avatar and then kicks the cloak.
“There’s no one in there. What did you do?” It stares at the right avatar.

this display is orange instead of yellow.
and i don’t see arrow#3 in orsome’s inventory.
If items remain at the same price, starting with a single coin seems like it would speed things along.
what if instead combatants were all randomly assigned one of the shop items so everyone had an item to start with?
despite gladiator’s core being rng, i think that’s a bit too rng-y.
besides, there’s more combatants than items anyways.
i also like everyone fighting over the items.
There are some items that are far superior to others. Having an early upper hand can make all the difference. I’d rather have some options, especially if players hoarde some of those items for most of the game.
Plot twist; he intentionally let that happen to himself, and it’s all part of a greater plan.

The two avatars meet up with the left avatar, who is spectating the game.
“We-” The middle avatar glances at the right avatar. “Er, I have some news.” The left avatar moves its gaze to the middle avatar. “Carl’s dead.”
“You mean they killed themselves trying to fix the avatar?” The left avatar starts laughing. “I knew they had no idea what they were doing.”
“Well, about that.” The left avatar stops laughing and the middle avatar continues. “Carl somehow got the sparking to stop.”
“What?” The left avatar stares at the right avatar’s cracked eye.
“All they did was poke the eye before they got vaporised.”
“But if it’s not there anymore, where did it go?”
