I've started the next round so fighter updates are now locked.

I may try to run a fight while I'm stuck on an airplane this evening.

I spent part of the morning looking into ways for dfhack to automate recording match stats, and have come away once again realizing that DF is far too complex for someone who doesn't actually play it.

Someone who does should figure that out so these can be easier to run

How long do mole people live? Worried that my fighter will die of old age.

Incidentally, if you run at least 3 fights this time and then volunteer for the next tournament you will become an admin alongside Spermy and ZeeToo :getin:

Ok, 4-3 with REDACTED as the hero, this should get me in good.

Halfway through writing the post but I'm called away by local politics, will probably finish tomorrow.

:siren: NEW SITE FEATURE :siren:

The Betting Leaders page now has links to a beta version of the Dorfbucks Audit Log for each player. It's a fully traceable history of where all* of the money went and/or came from, and reconciles to the player's Total Funds amount!

*Audit log not available for prior tournaments, only for current tournament and all future tournaments

Technical difficulties.

Darn, had my money on "Lives in Catalan."

Edit: Looking at the combat log this is a sick fight. An axe lands in the opening exchange, crippling a fighter. A fellow fighter is bit and beheaded before the second shift arrives! 2 Limbs are severed in Ihadtoknow's first 3 attacks! Looks like one of us actually invested in axe skill, based on all these blocks. Also an antwoman wrestles a strangler and holds her own. Limbs flying everywhere now that Werepupper has crawled up to the front. Fourwarned has joined Blingswing in the graveyard. Throw to Meet you and Punching Bag are annoying each other as Werepupper grounds Ihadtoknow. Werepupper bleeds out just as Ihadtoknow resorts to biting. The wrestling between Throw and Punching gets more exciting and possibly decisive. Ihadtoknow is bitten and paralyzed, giving Throw an opening to shake her head off like a dog with a toy! Punching Bag finally gets bit somewhere venom can be injected. But the paralysis doesn't last long enough for any helms or heads to be removed! Throw is all tuckered out! This (eventually) lets Punching Bag go in for a choke-hold. Its all over except for wrestling practice. And thats before an actual commissioner gets into what the other team did.

:siren: QUESTION FOR EVERYONE :siren:

It seems that all of your commissioners, including myself, are way too busy with real life and working and earning a living and feeding their families and other such idiotic and trivial bullshit to take care of much more important things... like writing up stories about pseudo-randomly generated virtual fights for the entertainment of our internet friends whom we haven't actually ever met in real life and probably never will.

Would it be okay with everyone if we save the effortposts for the tournament championship or at least the semifinals just to keep things moving?

Let your commissioners know! Please feel free to place a vote ITT, TIA.

A) Keep the thread moving! Summaries for the regular season matches, and effortposts can wait for the playoffs!

B) Effortposts uber alles! I like waiting three months between updates.

Let the thread know and we will respect your decision. :colbert:

I assure you my laudatory post was entirely rooted in cold hard facts.
Fact 1: My fighter is the best.
Fact 2: Punching Bag is a close second
Fact 3: I totally forgot your team beat ours in the first round

(All the finished combat logs are on the Arena Website :ssh:)

While this is also true of me, the images do help to visually break up the wall of text.

If the posts are more condensed summaries they probably don't need images in the middle.

And yes, post the combat logs so those with a stake in the fight can brag about their fighter's exploits.

Seconding this. Summary of death count, kill counts per player if you're feeling really fancy, post a link to the fight file itself. Because...
