Welcome, **Sam**. Be sure to request to join the clan “Teeming Millions”.

I won my first-ever [fight](http://pleonast.mybrute.com/tf/30575219) in a tournament! Of course, I’m level 7 and my opponent was only level 1, but a win’s a win. 🙂

I wanted to compare my brute to others of the same level in the clan, to see if my lack of wins is usual or not. Here are the current level 7s:Pleonast–25 wins, 0 pupils  
LocoVikingo–26 wins, 1 pupil  
softbuff–36 wins, 4 pupils  
Eduardo N–38 wins, 0 pupils  
bungholio–28 wins, 0 pupilsInteresting. Looks like there’s two groups, a winning one and a losing one. And I’m definitely the worst in my current class. 😛

This is an interesting game. I’ve got five brutes now and for the longest time, Dan Mayberry (I know, I went all out with that name) was the strongest brute but now he can’t win in a tournament. Emmerichfan was the weakest brute for a while but then she got a few good special traits and now she’s really strong. Lenny Bruce started out strong but has since weakened. Norm Gunderson was just terrible for the longest time but now he’ll win the occasional fight. If he gets a few new weapons after some level ups he’ll be in pretty good shape. Joel Otto started as my strongest brute but now he is by far the weakest.

I’ve been looking for patterns but I don’t see any…

This game is really a souped up version of Rock Paper Scissors. If you’re the rock, take the time before you fight and look for the scissors to smash and try to avoid the papers. My win-loss ratio for [Yeticus Rex](http://yeticus-rex.mybrute.com/cellule) is running about 8 wins to 1 loss now because I’m choosy on fighting guys that are missing certain abilities/weapons and my abilities/weapons would dominate most of the time.

The servers must have been logjammed, somehow I made level 9 overnight. I got throwing stars. They do 6 points of damage. Yippie-fucking-skippy.

Lost in the tournament to a level 6 brute, and then got the shit kicked out of me in three fights. None of them were even close.

I signed up. [Mr.Squishy](http://mr.squishy.mybrute.com)

How do I join the clan? I couldn’t find a way to search for it, do I just have to page through all the clans?

Apparently I’m super strong.

I think being super-strong is pretty good. I lost my first fight (I challenged Clubacide, who was several levels higher than me), but then I won my next 6 in a row vs. other brutes my level. With my last fight, I made level 3, and got a halberd! I sure wish I could use that on somebody tonight!

I’m just proud as punch (heh) of my little Brute [right here.](http://lady-fightytime.mybrute.com/tf/35528707) Way to hang in there, kiddo! We’re goin’ out for ice cream. 🙂

Is the game gone? I completely forgot about it until recently and now all I get is “down for maintenance”.

I made a brute and had an intial match, but after I created a password for [My Brute](http://newbruet.mybrute.com/cellule) I hve never been able to have a match. I go to the arena, I’ve tried it at several time, and the game goes to an error when a fight happens.

That is what I got 90% of the time before I stopped going there. I don’t even remember all my fighter names
