My experiment for this weekend was designed to see if the amount of power in the formation would affect what formation was used. In other words, if it was the last winning formation of the most powerful winning formation. Unfortunately a player attacked both the 1st and 2nd place after they were set up and they ended up in HP at full power. I will try again next week.
Ok heres the deal
there is a time on friday when the game takes a snap shot of arena
at that time whatever the last formation used in arena by the players chosen is what goes in palace
what that magical time is NO ONE KNOWS For certain.
My experiment last week shows that at least it is the last formation where the attack was won, and not just the last formation. The last formation of the player was a loss and the one that ended up in HP was the win before that. People are making assumptions without testing because in most cases the last formation is a win. That is why I am doing the testing, to see how it actually works.Quote:

If it is the the most powerful win since they went up, then there is no choice but to bring them down.
If it is in fact the strongest win (and I have not proven this yet) then there is the issue of if the player goes up on Friday before Baal, gets hit while in full power and comes down some time before GW and goes back up powered down, will the formation used be the one that was used on the second time it went up (powered down) of will it be the most powerful winn for the day (when he was hit after going up the first time). If it is the former then all we need to do is bring him down and then back up, but if it is the other one, then we need to find a different player to put up.
Based on the results of the above then I will do some more testing to see if it is feasible for a player that is in 1st or 2nd not to have to come down at all. It may be that all that needs to be done is to have a powered down win as the last fight. If that is the case, then it will make it a lot easier so set things up.
seriously wait till baalQuote:

We do that. But like I said, the ultimate goal is to see if the top two player that normally sits on 1st and 2nd all week can just power down, hit some one that is also powered down and win, and power back up. This will make setting up a lot easier.Quote:

like I said you over complicating this
