Vox, I am back. I updated Sir Hiss on the arena site. Thanks for holding me a spot. Damned weddings and honeymoon get in the way of my Dwarf Fortress Arena fighting fix.

God loving damnit. I'm fighting a dwarf. Why couldnt it be a carp or an elephant?

Praying it's a gimmick dwarf, and betting on myself.

A few of the little guys so far also had fairly weak builds. I wouldn't count them out as a whole quite yet.

The only close one we've seen is the human vs serpentman, right? The goblin/yeti was a huge size difference, and the dude with an adamantine weapon was sort of a waste of points.

If Sir Hiss can beat a dwarf, which I really doubt, then my serpentman may have a good chance to pass more than one round.

On the other hand though, if everyone bets on the big guy, they will get a small payout if the big guy wins, whereas the few who bet on the little guy will get a MASSIVE payout if the little guy wins.

You heard Jazzimus, everyone bet against Sir Hiss! It's 5 fights away!

Sir Hiss better beat some rear end.

Edit before Vox updates:

After the Gnome cut off the arm, he could have just run away and ran laps around the arena and won by bleeding out.

Instead he got punched in the brain. That's loving hilarious.

Obviously, the correct thing to do in that situation would be to have a REMATCH! :black101:

Swap equipment of the gladiators for fun, then REMATCH!

I've just got to say that the guy who made a gladiator for the mini-tournament with nothing but Steel Boots, and Grandmaster Kicking made me laugh for the last 2 pages.

Though Betty lands blow after blow with her hammer, the leather-clad kobold is able to weather the strikes with surprising ease, and lands his own in turn. This could be the greatest comeback in arena history if- CRUNCH. Glitch's skull caves in under Betty's hammer, and the match comes to an abrupt end.


The only thing I can think of is Tinny Tim.

You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly sir!

The bracket will be shuffled again before the 2nd round starts right?

And then betting will open on the shuffled bracket?

That goblin is going to be incredibly hard to stop in the next round. He's going to get a lot of points, already has a steel crossbow, and he'll be even more skilled.

Wow.

Forgot about betting.

Lost 5 out of the last 6 bets.

gently caress it. I'm betting all but 2 on my own Sir Hiss.

He's a wreaking machine.


Edit: Done. 892 dorfbucks on Sir Hiss. Sir Hiss is smaller than his opponent. Give me your money Bet on my opponent!

C'mon people. The odds are 10:1 currently on Sir Hiss. Bet against me, I dont want to win 895 on my bet of 892.

C'mon boys and girls, it's still about 2:1 odds against me.

I want to double my money, not 1.777 my money.

I think I speak for all of us when I say that since Sir Hiss was beaten it's really hard to care about this anymore.

(Welcome back, Vox. I just bet my last dorfbuck)

Spermy Smurf
Jul 2, 2004
Oh, here is Sir Hiss' losing build.

He has the following equipment.
Steel Battleaxe
Oak Wood Shield

He has the following skills.
Level 5 Fighting (Proficient)
Level 8 Axe (Expert)
Level 2 Biting (Adequate)
Level 4 Dodging (Skilled)
Level 6 Shield (Talented)

Jul 2, 2004
Oh god I have .09 dorfbucks left to bet.

Which is odd, because last fight I bet my last $1, and won $2.65 :(

I cant bet anymore :(


Edit: VVV I knew that :downs:

I'll take over whoever, if it's possible (already lost my match) and needs doing.

Will give ownership back in the event the owner comes back of course.

Hurry up and run the fight before the betting evens out on the 2nd fight in the queue. Goooooooooo Serpentmen!

Or take your time

Kamikaze and Klokwurk took home some good payouts on those fights too.

Rickvoid still has a commanding lead with nearly 4x dorfbux as the guy in second.

I don't... I don't even know what is happening anymore. Sheer denial wasn't the defense I was expecting.


Edit: two big guys, two little guys. I would say this tournament and spending points are well balanced.
