I hear you, mate. I'm sorry that I've disappointed again with a second tournament attempt. My intention was not to run a simple Bloodbath, and I tried to mitigate the necessity of combat skills by introducing Arena Events, which would give athletic or otherwise resourceful tributes an advantage when survival rather than straight-up combat became the issue. I think that the main reason Isabella died in last round's event was primarily because of her age, for instance, and not because of her survivalist mentality. I am a bit surprised that the voters interpreted this tournament as a combat-only tournament, because if you guys really wanted to, you could always have chosen to analyze the tributes for reasons other than their fighting skills--that's why, up until now, I never even requested weapons' edges as my preferred voting method. At this point, though, a combination of lack of voter interest and a clear development of the type of fighter this tournament is favoring kind of renders that moot, so I decided to just roll with it and try to give you guys what I thought you wanted.

Either way, sorry that I let you down.
