I don't have any actual gimmick or clever strategy this time. :shrug:

I didn't even have a name until I glanced in the corner.

Hey I was thinking. Right now if you click on a fighter that isnt yours you see nothing about their equipment.

How about having the last gear they showed up in a fight in appear on their profile?

Spermy Smurf: Jul 2, 2004

But we all made new characters?

Edit: Oh duh. Past tournaments. Would be nice to be able to download their macros for testing too.

Synthbuttrange: May 6, 2007

I mean yeah if its a brand new character you wont see a thing, this will only happen after a fight.

So... are boots on a serpent man completely useless, or does it have a comedic effect?

They get one boot for the tail tip

Comedic effect, then.

No, they need the tail tip to "stand" so to speak, and it's a potential source of pain that is debilitating regardless of the attack's actual lethality.

25 fighters entered, only 35 more to go.

My Dad, you can't skip this one. Unsure if 60 fighters was a good idea, it seems like a lot of people.

# ? Dec 2, 2016 14:17

Synthbuttrange: May 6, 2007

How many were in the previous mega tourney?

I most certainly can.

Give it some time, though I think it's always a good idea to keep the number of teams to a power of 2. Jazz advertised the big tournament in a couple of DF-themed threads to recruit players, you might be interested in doing the same?

Spermy Smurf posted:

If anyone is new and doesnt know how to enter this tourney:

Arenachallenge.com

Set up an account and post here with the name. One of us will activate your account.

Then create a fighter (pick name and race) and then from that fighters page 'Apply for this fighter to join a tournament'

I believe we can all change races after the teams are decided.

It's buried within the OP but here's a quick rundown.

Emmideer: Oct 20, 2011; Lovely night, no?; Grimey Drawer

I'm curious how this results in less games to run than the mega tourney because the mega tourney had 16 teams and this has 20.

Quick eliminations.

Instead of fighting a large number of rounds and going for a season, it's victory or death.

# ? Dec 2, 2016 15:48

Spermy Smurf: Jul 2, 2004

Math isn't my strong suit... but I believe there were 144 fights just in the regular season. Then Playoffs, quarter and semifinals, and championship and then bronze medal.

I dont know how this one is going to be set up, I really don't. Jazz will come in and educate us hopefully.

I believe this one is like: This tournament's schedule type is: Each fighter/team meets every divisional opponent twice in regular season, home-and-away.

And this is where my brain stops working.

If it's more than the last tournament, whatever. I'll run 200 drat fights, no problems.

I'd sign up but I'm leaving for a week on Monday and would be unable to update my ~~fighter~~ ant.

Also that is 80 fights when you have 4 divisions of 5 teams each, not counting any playoffs.

Edit: I am assuming you're talking about fights that are ONLY in division

In a 3v3 nothing makes sense.

Dont worry about it. Pick something big and grab a copper spear like 75% of the rest of the group.

It's just too bad that you can't request custom engraving on your gear:

"Here you see an Oaken Shield, It is accented with Dwarf Bones. An image of a demon striking down a dwarf appears on it"

Though I am pretty sure Spermy and Jazz would go crazy(er?) Trying to add that in as well.
