There actually is a scenario in which I think it would make sense for someone to take a payoff and attack for a negative item. If the attacker is down to their last life at an early stage and has no trophy tokens to get back in the tournament, then rather than try to run the gauntlet to get to the finals, it might be better for them to take a guaranteed consolation prize (or buyout) and then bow out of the competition (either the attacker wins and is effectively crippled to guarantee a future loss, or they lose on the spot and the defender is still stuck with the negative item as well as a lighter wallet). Obviously if this was stage 6, that's so close to the finals that no one would take the offer unless they knew they were guaranteed to lose against the stage 6 NPC no matter what.

So the 1 SBD offer was intentionally generous as a first-time play, and since medieval warrior is at 2 lives, if Setzer "wins", that means the exact scenario I just described above comes to fruition, and I could make another offer to @yura81 (for a smaller amount the 2nd time around) to have medieval warrior attack again. Evilly ingenious... ?

But like you said, this will be funny no matter how it plays out. A roll of 5 or 6 results in my ploy backfiring, while anything else is a success. @yura81 has already been paid, so here we go...
