> Wow! Uh...yeah, it does indeed seem that way. The tiebreaking routine had the #3 characters go first, then the #2 characters, then the #1 characters. Which somewhat surprises me, because I thought the #1's would go first, but I guess not.

Heh, really? That sucks, if the #1s had gone first instead of the #3s, the final match of Tournament #47 would've had a different outcome. Utna would still have gone first out of the tiebreakers since he had 25 Strength, but everyone else had equal stats(18/20/20, 24/24/24). With everything else the same (Bern going before Gil and Enki going before May), the order would've been:
Utna, Bern, Gil, Enki, May, Cres
instead of what it was (Utna, Cres, Enki, May, Bern, Gil)

Enki and Bern would've still been knocked out on the same turn, since Bern would still attack before Enki and Gil would attack to knock her out on that turn, and Enki would still attack before Bern and Cres would attack to knock him out on that turn. However, then the order became:

Utna, Gil, May, Cres (vs. Utna, Cres, May, Gil)

May was knocked out on the turn before Gil, which would've reduced the order to:

Utna, Gil, Cres (vs. Utna, Cres, Gil)

And that's where the change makes a difference. If Gil had gone before Cres on the turn where Cres knocked Gil out, he would've gotten one more attack in for either 7 or 8 HP, which would've resulted in Cres getting knocked out one attack before Utna did instead of the other way around, heh.

Of course, unfortunately that's not what happened, but at least I can take solace in the fact that if the game was working in the way that its creator thought it was supposed to work, I would've won instead ;D *ducks a swatting from Alex, hehe*
