I've said it before and I'll say it again. The deciding factor in this scenario is your willingness to pick one up by the ankles and bludgeon the others with them.

Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.

MODERATORS
First graders are about 50 lbs. Pre-K and Kindergarteners would work better for this. Too much weight and you're going to lose power on the swing.
Pick up one in each hand and spam Whirlwind for the AoE damage.
50 lbs on average. Just find one the right size and weight like picking out a bat before stepping up to the plate.
Yeah but you also have to consider the psychological damage.
Greater momentum due to the weight means every hit will make a domino effect on the other attacking 1st graders
Too vague.
- How much time between waves?
- Can I leave one first-grader "alive" to indefinitely recover at the end of a wave? Or can defeated members of a wave re-enter the fight if they have long enough to recover?
- Do I get regular meal and sleep breaks assuming it goes on long enough?
- How aggressive are they?
- Is the attack coordinated? Like did they have time to prepare?
- What does the arena look like?
- What constitutes being finished beating one of them up?
- Do I have to worry about taking it too far?

Played the (surprisingly lengthy) demo of this over Next Fest and found it pretty fun, though maybe a bit too easy.
"13."
"She says 13, but I-- Why do you say that with such certainty?"
"It's... kind of why I need the new job."
My first question would have been "is the fifth grader boss the entire fifth wave, so after 40 first graders, or the end of the fifth wave, so after 50 first graders?" Followed by "how much time do I get to prepare?"
The limiting factor is definitely fatigue, assuming we already don't care about morals. I could probably take on like 3-15 waves of them, depending on how big they would be.
She'll lose the job to Anakim
