Let me go fix that.


EDIT: The annual hosting was up for renewal TODAY, and I was on autobill, and they DID charge my card and sent me a receipt... I'm bitching at them right now, brb.

EDIT2: Hell, maybe I should host this on my home Gbps fiber line instead, which just got hit by Hurricane Harvey and is still truckin' along.

:siren: VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE :siren:

Hello there my fellow fans of virtual arena violence.

I've never done this before, but...

Quite a few of you have asked how you can help the Arena Challenge in any way, even financially.

Well, I don't need any of your Armok-drat money.

But, you know what? Some of my neighbors do.


Anyone who posts a receipt from a donation to a reputable Hurricane Harvey relief charity gets 1000 current-tournament dorfbucks and a DORFCOIN* for each dollar donated!

Post a screenshot of the receipt in the Tech Support thread, or e-mail it to my e-mail address in the Tech Support thread, and the dorfbux and dorfcoins are yours. You can even post it in this thread, I don't mind; but I would strongly suggest you mask any personal information and especially any credit card numbers. But you already know that, right?

We're on the honor system here, I know that most of us are clever enough to know that it's easy to fake a web receipt screenshot. And we're also all enlightened enough to know that faking a screenshot for virtual dorfbucks means spending eternity in Hell. And I know and love you guys** enough to know none of you would ever do it.

Already donated? Great! If I get your receipt, you can double-dip and get Arena credit for what you already gave!

If you are not in a position where you can donate, there is no shame in that. And please don't feel obligated to do anything, I'm not trying to lay a guilt trip on anyone. But keep in mind this is your chance to buy your way to a betting title



*Dorfcoins, the decentralized virtual currency of the future of the battlefield, have not been implemented yet. But with your donation, you can get them before anyone else!

**In the generic non-gendered sense, I would say y'all but non-Texans might not be familiar with that term

:siren: Round 2, Fight 2 :siren:

Totally not everyone throwing spear (0-1) is on the left side of the arena.
Hurly (Spermy Smurf) is a female strangler. She wields a wooden shield and an iron pilum and wears no armor.
Punching Bag (Galick) is a male troll. He is empty handed and wears an iron helm, two iron mail shirts, an iron breast plate, iron leggings, iron gauntlets, and iron high boots.
Ihadtoknow (habituallyred) is a female soldier ant woman. She wields two iron throwing axes and wears no armor.
Bling swing (Selious) is a male minotaur. He wields two silver bucklers and wears a bronze cap.

Feels A Bit Chilly (1-0) is on the right side of the arena.
Bowbold the Bold (Dance Officer) is a male dwarf. He wields an iron crossbow and wears no armor.
Naked Snake (astus) is a male serpent man. He wields an iron large dagger and wears no armor.
Polybolos in Strangler Camo (AJ_Impy) is a male strangler. He wields two iron pilums and wears no armor.
Fourlearned Is (Coward) is a female molemarian. She wields a copper spear and a wooden shield and wears no armor.



Feels A Bit Chilly is a 1.36 to 1 betting favorite in this match with 5500.00 dwarfbucks in total bets placed on them, compared to 4033.00 dwarfbucks for Totally not everyone throwing spear.


The nudists on the right have completely foregone armor in favor for weapon skill. Lets see how that turns out.




Hurly, probably the best gladiator to have ever graced the arena, lands a direct hit to Bowbolds right leg. The bone crumples, ACL and MCL are snapped, and Bowbold falls to the floor.

IHadToKnow takes Bowbolds bolt through her second right arm.


And now it's 2v2 in the center of the arena. Punching Bag does what he does and takes a punch that snaps his head back while Bling Swing blocks three consecutive attacks on his buckler.


Troll blood flies to mix with moleman blood and snakeman blood.

Bling Swing crushes Naked Snakes left arm with his buckler, and aside of some general scratching (which tears skin and bruises bone) not much damage is being done.


Four more projectiles launch. Two pictured above, 2 immediately after. One bounced off of Punching Bags breastplate, other is blocked by Hurlys shield.


And now Totally not everyone throwing spears is all in.


IHadToKnow axes the already-wounded snake and down goes Naked Snake. Another strike takes his head.


Fourlearned is the lone enemy while four weapons fly at the moleman. Two projectiles fly into the crowd, and then Polybolos charges. Punching Bags armor turns another of Bowbolds arrows while Polybolos last javelin punches through IHadToKnow's thorax and pierces her heart.


The plucky antwoman is still in the fight though.


Bling Swing takes a minute from his day to reflect on the days events.


Fourlearned loses an arm, and then Hurly stabs the moleman in the back foot and the sheer force from the blow travels up the moleman and twists the spine so badly that the moleman is now paralyzed from the waist down.


:siren:****IMAGE MISSING****:siren:
Polybolos arrives and loses a leg completely to IHadToKnow's axe. Down goes the lesser strangler.

At the same time the Greater Strangler (Hurly) stabs Fourlearned's arm in half and the moleman bleeds out.


Bowbold launches another arrow to save Polybolos, but all it does is pierce IHadToKnow's thorax for a second time.



It's 4v1. Punching Bag wrenches the iron pilum from the stranglers weak grasp. Polybolos loses a second leg to Bling Swings buckler and the now-unconscious strangler loses his head to IHadToKnow's axe.



And now it's just 4v1 and it's just an archer.



Oh come on, gently caress this game.






The dwarf is down and severely wounded and can't keep up with 4 enemies.
Hurly gets the kill with Punching Bag helping with his stolen pilum.


Totally not everyone throwing spears wins with a decisive 4-0 victory.



Kills:
Hurly: 2
IHadToKnow: 2

A major artery in the heart has been opened by the attack!

The force twists the neck, tearing apart the fat and bruising the muscle and tearing apart the upper spine's nervous tissue!
A tendon in the upper spine has been torn!

Turns out you don't need much of a heart or brain to fight, though I lost track of how many parts of Fourlearned had been exploded into gore. Nice to see our team put in work after all that waiting

The playoff picture for this tournament is very simple:

The winner of Totally not everyone throwing spear vs. Arm Reduction is in

The winner of Three Strong Women & Frick vs. Feels A Bit Chilly is in

The winner of Big Trouble vs. Morning Routine is in

The winner of The Windy Whirly Farters vs. Projectile Vomit actually doesn't matter at all because Projectile Vomit is already in and The Windy Whirly Farters are already eliminated
