Ok, anybody have any idea what in Buddha’s name [_this_](http://squishy-meatsack.mybrute.com/fight/126996737) weapon is? Looks like he’s throwing microwave pizzas at me.

A bowl of rice? A computer mouse? My brute beat up a guy that tried to slap him around with a keyboard.

Also, I’m quite annoyed with my sledgehammer wielding guy. Three fights today. Three losses. He tried to swing the hammer once, and missed. “Oooh, I got a sharp shiny knife, let’s use this after I’ve used my fists for the first two rounds. That hammer is heavy and hurts my tender shoulder.”

My guy is kinda the same way. He can bash the stuffing out of folks with the club. With the sword, not so much.

If there are any latecomers, or anyone wanting multiple brutes, I’d happily take on a pupil or two.

I’ll throw one at you - [Vinkelslip Mk 4](http://vinkelslip-mk4.mybrute.com/). So far he seems to have a weird kind of honor code, where the opponent has to lead the hit points by at least 10 before he uses the axe. Stupid little…

I wouldn’t mind some pupils [of my own.](http://robomoose.mybrute.com/cellule)

Nice 'stache.

Each member of the dojo must participate in keeping it a place of tranquility and discipline. Because of your catlike agility, it will be your job to light the candles at the beginning of each day, and to put them out at night. For now, you may use your fingers.

When you are able to extinguish the candle flame with your eyelid, it will be time for you to leave.

OK, so I’m spamming a bit. I clicked around and found the ranking. The highest ranked Brute is level 70. He has 14 victories which isn’t all that impressive, but he does have 23k+ pupils. Seems that’s the way to go…

This really is a pyramid scheme. A fighty, stabby, smacky, ninja star throwin’ pyramid scheme.

So how’s about us in the Dope community all come together and create a brute or two for someone else? Together we shall rule supreme!

C’mon people, work with me now.

[My current numero uno.](http://lady-fightypants.mybrute.com/)

She has lots of pupils, but they were all created by me and I didn’t realize at the time that if you create them yourself, they won’t do squat for your exp. Dammit. Someone please give me an _actual_ pupil. I promise to learn you well in the wise ways of pointless cyberelectronic combat. You may begin by waxing the floor…

Claptree, [this](http://robomoose-jr.mybrute.com/cellule) one’s for you. Not bad. Good strength and very stabby.

And the first one to hit level 10 _has_ to create a Dope clan for us. I mean… c’mon now. 🙂

Thanks, **Spoonful**. I set you up with a pupil, [here](http://lady-fightythong.mybrute.com/cellule). Decently rounded, with vitality and a broadsword as of lvl 2. It was pretty hard to find an available variation on your name, so I got desperate.

Haha. I dig the name! Thanks.

Ok wait. I says I got a pupil, but no exp?! WTF, mate? Anyone know anything about this?

Hmm. After a bit of research I came across [this](http://grownupgeek.com/mybrute-guide-leveling) page.

> [@](#):
>
> It is possible to game experience and level up through having other’s as “pupils”, or by getting references. HOWEVER, only the VERY FIRST MASTER per IP address (What makes your computer original) of a pupil will be able to get experience.
> 
> In other words, if someone has already become a pupil for someone else, and then become your pupil with a new brute, you WILL NOT GAIN EXPERIENCE.
> 
> YES! This means all those pupil chain threads are probably only benefiting the Topic Creator, since they will rope in all the new pupils, and when they pupil you back you will not gain experience.
> 
> If you are lucky enough to become someone’s first master, you gain 1 EXP when they become your pupil and 1 EXP every time they level up.
> 
> One thing I have done is I’ve had friends pupil me from their home computers, and then I just go on that account (since they don’t put a password on it) and level up the brute myself

Seems if you’ve already become someone else’s pupil from that same IP address then any further brutes you create don’t give exp to their masters. :mad:

Ah, that explains it. Maybe I wont spend all morning creating pupils for the rest of the thread, then. Well, it is kind of fun.

Yeah, I like it too.

I just changed my IP and tried to create a new pupil for my brute and it still didn’t give me the xp. Grr.

Welcome, Sweetumus. To nurture and develop your fierce nature and mastery of lightning, you will be in charge of the switchboard. But be on your guard. Outsiders may seek to gain counsel with the dojo, under the pretext that we have ordered toner. Away with them!

Here is my absolute best gladiator:

[Ollie J Queen](http://ollie-j-queen.mybrute.com/cellule).

He has lost only one of his last 12 fights.

High health, a shield, high strength, the tragic potion and the lance of ass-kicking…

try him out----IF YOU DARE!!!
