Bob the Blocker entered, ready to be Spermy Smurf's bane once again.

How long are we going to gi e people to test and fix their builds before starting?

Please say more than 5 hours.

Spermy Smurf: Jul 2, 2004

I cant even run any fights for like 18hrs.

Testing is for losers. Lock every fighter down, run all fights based on their first submission.

unwantedplatypus: Sep 6, 2012

Testing is for those not confident in the sheer superiority of their fighter's unique brilliance and acrobatic technique.

# ? Aug 5, 2015 19:02

Ghostwoods: May 9, 2013; Say "Cheese!"

Testing? TESTING? That would get in the way of my fighter's pathetic and ignominious death!

Bad Munki: Nov 4, 2008; We're all mad here.

If you're not basing 100% of your fighter's design on a funny name you thought up three months ago, you're doing it wrong. :colbert:

Jazzimus Prime: May 16, 2002; The Brothers Autobot

Before we can start the tournament, we need to wait for the following fighters to complete their builds:

Strangler things have happened managed by Bene Elim
Offcut Must Die managed by Haystack
Tantrum Spyral managed by Ramc
Morocco Mole managed by iLonie

In the meantime, you can use this delay to test your build, if you're into that.

And you can also place bets!

I have officially placed all of my money against my dad's obvious bet-baiting and am counting on whatever exploit he may or may not have discovered not helping him at all in the first round at least. :colbert:

And thus it was secured that my fighter's name would be certain to come true.

my dad: Oct 17, 2012; this shall be humorous

I'm not actually using the gimmick I mentioned. Might use it later if I survive.

Though I do have to say that the build I did go with is something never seen in the arena before. :v:

Pickled Tink: Apr 28, 2012; Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.

Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.; Fun Shoe

Splode: Jun 18, 2013; put some clothes on you little freak

Don't test your builds. It's obviously unfair for people who are too lazy to test their builds, sheesh.

Fact.

Ramc: May 4, 2008; Bringing your thread to a screeching halt, guaranteed.

Okay! I am all set. Tantrum Spyral decided a y sounded more MYSTERIOUS.

(I registered before work and just got home now :ohdear:

Bene Elim: Feb 9, 2010; The beast from Crete that can't be beat!

Guess who forgot that stranglers' primary attack is bite. Plan A out of the window, trying to find plan B.

Might have to break my rule on not using the same weapon on two different gladiators.

Yeah don't bother, Plan B didn't work out so hot either

bad munki, you are managing Plan B, a retired female Troll fighter.

Plan B has a career record of 1 victory and 1 loss.

Somehow you mistyped 'months' instead of 'minutes'.

And missed the quote marks around 'funny'.

But other than that, totally nailed my creative process!

She won once! That's better than a lot of your fighters.

Build done and ready to go.

You might be able to convince Spermy to potentially give up his spot again for a Battle Royale, but I can't make any promises on his behalf.

NOW the fighter builds are locked in.

Sorry to those who didn't make it this time. There won't be a play-in battle royale for this one, but this tournament should be finished fairly quickly and we can start another one soon after.

Coding is compiling. Rampant_cheating.exe installed sucessfully, flowery_language.dat has been loaded and fighterstoscrewover.txt has been updated but gifs.exe failed to install at this time.

Should be starting in a few hours.
